To all filipinos, what do you think of K-pop?

Oh yes, Koreans are cute and all. But I don't think it's really not right that they're already filling in song charts here in our country, esp in Myx...which [in my observation] is always promoting foreign songs [remember the F4 version of Taiwan then? well, they filled THE WHOLE top 10!]. Sorry keinah2 but i'm one of those "friends" who tease friends-who-listen-to-kpop :D me and my friends don't even like Koreans who stay here in our country, 'coz THEY'RE EVERYWHERE! It's like they're already invading us! Our music, malls, subdivisions. Well, I don't hate them, really [believe me. LOL]...It's just that I think they're making our country a big shopping mall or something. PS. Sorry if the topic seems to get away from k-pop. Thanks keisha2 for starting this really interesting discussion. If there's any Korean who happens to read this post of mine, i'm so sorry...just saying my opinion.

I listen to KPOP and its so damn cute! keinah2, you're right! We should support our country's artists! But how can we do it if OPM songs sometimes are of "low standards."

It seems as a loss on our side. However, thinking that there are certain artist here in the Philippines who feels being challenge and not anything else, it gives me an exciting feeling to see the outcome of this competition. In business schools, we learn that competition helps organization to exert more of their creative energy resulting to better offers to us consumers. Thinking of it while I am typing it, makes me even more excited.

I like Kpop too but I also feel down when foreign songs are on the chart and OPM songs are not. Maybe someday there will be more OPM hits on the chart and I will be very happy because of that

i like kpop.. i don't mind them on the charts but i don't vote or do anything about it either.. i'd like to go to concerts.. and i will if given the chance.. i want kpop to stay at it's current level of acceptance here in the Philippines.. i don't want it to end up like the meteor garden and taiwanese boyband/songs that we had before.. it was like boom! then crash! now people consider them corny..

Hi Keinah2, you are absolutely right and I like your opinion. Same thing here, I love kpop and I admit that I'm a fan. But when it comes on MYX Hit charts I really felt bad that there are few OPM songs that are included. You're right about saying that OPM songs are left out maybe because Kpop has it's unique character of having such "girl group or boy group" thing.. Another, is that their government really support their artist which is really nice. And if you look at it, forming a girl group or boy group is not really patronized by Filipinos most of us like solo artist. It seems that KPOP and OPM are 2 different unique variety of music that you can't compare. But hey we have artist that we should be proud of like Lea Salonga, Charice Pempengco and more..

Hello, keinah2! I completely understand how you feel! I was already so into Kpop before it hit the Philippines, and I quite feel bad right now that they're dominating our charts. One reason why I liked Kpop was because it's different, and what makes it different makes it beautiful. But now, it's just everywhere, and I'm not so happy with that.

I'm also an avid fan of Kpop before it came out in the Philippines. As I can remember, I was still in elementary that time and my first favorite Kpop artist was Boa. Up until now, i'm still looking forward to all her new albums and videos:) I hope one day, she'll have her concert here in the Philippines. :))

To be honest... I really like KPOP. Well... actually, I like their music videos. their really good at dancing. I was so impressed, that's probabaly the reason why I became a fan. I'm not a super fan of KPOP. I'm just a fan. I also go for Filipino Songs. I guess I'm 50-50?
