| <b>K-Pop</b> Crossover: The Daily Dot Highlights 11 Of <b>K-Pop's</b> Catchiest <b>...</b> Posted: 17 Sep 2015 08:36 AM PDT Every K-pop fan has their list of favorites and apparently, so does American website The Daily Dot. On Wednesday, contributor Aja Romano shared a list first conducted by Koreaboo of the 11 catchiest K-pop singles to date. K-pop fans will immediately spot well-known tracks such as "Mirotic" by TVXQ and "Abracadabra" by Brown Eyed Girls. Like Us on Facebook "This is the song that gave us the 'Arrogant Dance,' a move so iconic Psy parodied it in his video for 'Gentleman,'" wrote Romano. "Even more, it gave us the gold standard for excellence in K-pop: a synthesis of perfection in music, choreography, design, and concept." Out of the 11 acts, 2NE1 is the only one currently conducting American promotional activities through its frontwoman Lee "CL" Chaerin. "I just want to put out good music," said the rapper during her first American radio interview. "This is a challenge for me. Like you said, it's very different for me. I'm enjoying the freedom, but my main goal is to put out good music." The interview was followed by her guest appearance at the Mad Decent Block Party concert in Berkeley, San Francisco. A concert series created by Diplo's record label, he is also one of her primary collaborators for her upcoming English EP and full-length album. "K-pop is a weird term because K-pop has everything-rap records, it's very pop-sounding, there are really boy-band sounding records," said the 36-year-old DJ-producer. "It's going to be [labeled] K-pop because she's doing it, so it's going to be coming from another place and there's going to be Korean lyrics. But for the most part it's eclectic. She's very rap-leaning, she's very fashion forward. She's like the Nicki Minaj of that world." Earlier in the month, CL's Korean record label YG Entertainment confirmed that the rapper would film two music videos in August. According to Billboard, the plan is for CL to release an EP through Diplo's record label Mad Decent, with a full-length album to follow. © 2015 KpopStarz. All rights reserved.
