I am a middle age American man. Whenever I tell my Korean American friends that I really like KPOP they are always surprised. Generally for them, listening to KPOP was a phase or a fad they experienced when they were younger. They don't listen to that music anymore. It makes me wonder about what happens in Korea itself. Do only young people in Korea listen to KPOP? If so, what type of music do older people listen to? What do you think of the idea of learning the Korean language through listening to Korean music (especially KPOP) and translating it? If not KPOP, what other type of Korean music would you recommend?
