The first decade after the new millennium is finally drawing to a close. Having the most dense history of mankind with the most upheavals than any other generation, the change in culture in the past 10 years is no exception.
New content was constantly produced at an unimaginable speed, and a variety of new spheres were created. Both the producers and consumers of culture got distracted by some of the greatest-known turmoils and, as a result, were unknowingly swept up by the waves of change. Kyung Hyang Newspaper analyzed the last 10 years of Korean culture in closer detail.
‘Digital singles’, ‘bell sounds’, ‘ringtones’, ‘BGM’, ‘sound source’ – these are newly created terms of the 21st century that have now been added into everyday language. The following example will show how the meanings of these terms have changed in the past decade with regards to the mass music market, in comparison to past generations.
GD & TOP have already been confirmed to perform at Club Heaven Christmas Social Party in Kangnam on December 24th and new ads have surfaced from clubnb, that say they will perform on the same night at Club Harlem Open Triple Party in Hondae as special guests.
Club Harlem’s introduction of GD & TOP:
“Hello. As a special celebration for the newly opened Club Harlem, G-Dragon and TOP are the invited guests for December 24th. Please show a lot of attention. Thank you.”
Keep in mind YG entertainment hasn’t confirmed the second club attendance just yet but it seems pretty legit if clubnb already is advertising this with flyers all over Korea. The double combo will be working hard on that night!
There has been much anticipation among fans after the launch event of GD&TOP’s digital singles, “High High” and “Oh Yeah“, earlier this week, which was the prelude to their “Inkigayo” debut today!
Accompanying them on their debut stage was Park Bom from 2NE1 as she has a featuring on their 2nd title track, “Oh Yeah.” So check out the double-header performance of their brand new music!
