For my Kpop stans... Kpop is HEAVILY influenced by Black culture and music. I knew it was inspired from time but listening to when I first started listening to Kpop, all these boy groups were dropping R&B songs but just in the Korean language.

Seeing a post earlier made me realise that r&b was really studied. I have to post some stuff, so you get what I mean.

The first boy group I was obsessed with TVXQ.... back 2011 with their song “Before U Go”

I really didn’t know there was more of them in the group until I did my research a year or two later https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙈" title="Nichts sehen-Affe" aria-label="Emoji: Nichts sehen-Affe">

But his song is R&B!!!! Hence why I loved it so much.

Let’s go back to 2008

This one upsets me a little piece, but I’m good. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙈" title="Nichts sehen-Affe" aria-label="Emoji: Nichts sehen-Affe">

SHINee - Romantic

Tell me what song this sounds like... https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙇🏾‍♂️" title="Mann verbeugt sich tief (durchschnittlich dunkler Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Mann verbeugt sich tief (durchschnittlich dunkler Hautton)">

THIS SONG STILL GETS TO ME HOW THEY EITHER STUDIED R&B FROM THE EARLY 00’s OR THEY GOT A BLACK(AMERICAN) PRODUCER & SONGWRITER/S.

EXO - What If
