2014: THE CURSED YEAR (Part 1)

O.K, so I saw a post in a website and it was written there that 2014 wasn't the best year for K-pop at all.

Well, I couldn't agree more.

Despite the rise of many prominent K-pop acts like 2NE1 and Taeyang, there were still the major dramas that happened over the years. I actually think that 2014 was a good year for K-pop but then it all went down like Titanic. Let's look back at top 5 what the fxxx just happened this year.

1. Sewol Ferry Accident

At the bitter morning of April 16, A ferry took a wrong turned and killed at least 300 people on board of what was going to be there happiest school vacation ever. The ferry flip on that tragic start when it was going to Jeju island. The events of this was so shocking, even North Korea send there condolence to their southern counterpart.

TOP 5 DYSTOPIAN K-POP MUSIC VIDEOS

OK, What if you see yourself in a dark distant future, with nothing to do but to overthrow a super-corrupt government and trying to stay alive with your bias, while having the strangest urge to sing and bust a move in front of your personal rebel army and the face of the creepy snow-colored beard you called a president and ripping his throat out. Then you're in a dystopian k-pop music video, filled with HATE and REBELLION and full of funky beats and very fashionable clothes that would put Katniss Everdeen and Tris Prior into their fashion downfall.

So basically, A dystopia is a community or society that is in some important way undesirable or frightening. It is the opposite of a utopia. Such societies appear in many artistic works, particularly in stories set in a future. Dystopias are often characterized by dehumanization, totalitarian governments, environmental disaster, or other characteristics associated with a cataclysmic decline in society. Dystopian societies appear in many sub-genres of fiction and are often used to draw attention to real-world issues regarding society, environment, politics, economics, religion, psychology, ethics, science, and/or technology, which if unaddressed could potentially lead to such a dystopia-like condition.
