МИСЛЕЊЕ

The beauty of useless pleasures Today, April 11, 2020, the song of the South Korean boygroup called the Block B, “Toy”, completed the fourth anniversary since its release.

I

t means it has been a little bit more than four years that I have been listening to Korean music. The song, that is part of in the album “Blooming Period”, was one of the first Korean songs that I listened to and it left a huge mark on me. I remember listening to it for hours, enchanted by the kpop universe and mainly by the Korean language. I didn’t and still don’t know how to explain the unique way in which it amazes me. I believe that the intense feelings such things generate in us, which are really hard to put into words, are exactly the ones that allow the birth of moments that makes the life worthwhile.

Therefore, with all this magic around my Korean music discovery, the will of studying Korean was born inside me. Something that fortunately I could accomplish with success during my second year of high school. I was very dedicated to it and every phrase I understood in Korean or every new word that I learned turned into a beautiful smile drawn in my face. However, in the next year, due to having to study for the university entrance exams and having to dedicate myself to college studies after getting into it kept me from studying Korean with the assiduity I had before.
