Let's see what the Korean-language Korean singers category has. Why? Because I'm bored, and it will help interwiki ducksheep goodness.

No idea if all of these are actually kpop. I haven't heard of most of them, and I have a decent collection of kpop (much of it, but not all. from Pump It Up).--SPUI (talk) 01:34, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

Another one, found via Chinese Wikipedia:

Does someone know if the "T" listed is a singer or a group... Would help disambiguating the link. Monni 20:05, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rewrite

I'm thinking that the intro for the article needs a total rewrite. I mean, most of it is simply talking about the achievements certain artists have made. That's important, of course, but do we need to know in detail what each popular artist did? I'm thinking of taking out the sections on BoA, Se7en, and Bi; they can simply be linked to. Anyone else agree? SKS2K6 08:14, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Sounds like a good idea. -- Visviva 05:49, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lee Jung Hyun

"Popular artists who diverge from the traditional K-pop sound include Lee Jung Hyun, a female techno artist often compared to America's Moby;"

I would remove this comparison about LJH to Moby, and replace it with Bjork (from I think Iceland). LJH has stated that she likens herself to Bjork.68.102.37.191 12:02, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

She doesn't sound anything like Bjork. Kappa 13:10, 3 September 2006 (UTC) Or Moby for that matter. Kappa 13:12, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Question

I put it here because it affects a lot of the pages, but do we need a section for every single variety show a star has appeared on? That would be like the English Wikipedia putting on every single talk show that, say, Mariah Carey's been in. I personally find it trivial, unless that person (or group) is a mainstay, or was part of the reason why that show became famous (Chae Yeon on X-Man, for example). But I'm just wondering if I'm of the minority here.... (Maybe we should have a Wikiproject:K-pop :P) SKS2K6 21:45, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rewrite

Since someone decided to finally delete the specific info, I just rewrote it. I'm not sure about the external links, though; they tend to violate certain rules of WP:EL. SKS2K6 06:18, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] External links

Can someone suspend these users [1][2] from posting that AllKpop link? It's just a gossip website that provides skewed articles. They have tried to added it several times already.75.16.138.40 (talk) 15:14, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

It seems as though the external links are causing quite a lot of problems and dissent. Although I personally believe that some blog links are okay, and some are not, at this point, none should be used simply because there's so much drama over one simple link. Please talk about potential links here before adding them. Thanks. SKS2K6 (talk) 06:50, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Someone Keeps Adding Back the Blog Links, if one is added all should be added. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.224.152.77 (talk) 17:59, 29 March 2008 (UTC) Someone Keeps Adding Krnloop, Soompi, and Kome Blog links.
