What are the significance of light sticks in K-pop?

I've always wanted to know.

I don't know, sometimes they use it in concerts

and they light it up when the artist chooses

it to light up in the color they want.

I think, or something like that.

[speaks in Korean]

Our light stick is pink.

Pink.

And we chose pink because we represent our label, SM.

And SM's color is pink, so we use that as our light stick.

[speaks in Korean]

With an exclamation mark.

Okay, does anyone find K-pop music videos

really addictive?

Like you come back and want to watch the same video

more and more?

Um, thank you.

Addicted to K-pop dance practice videos,

Is dancing alone to K-pop songs in your apartment

considered as work out?

I think, I think so.

You can still call it a workout.

Cause, you know, you're moving your body.

It actually requires a lot of, you know,

core energy to dance, so.

It depends on how hard you go on the dances,

but for sure, K-pop dances are actually

pretty, like, intense.

So, if you do it correctly, you can have a good body.

On This Day in K-Pop.

All right.

What's a K-pop lyric you always have

stuck in your head?

[sings] Confession

[together] Confession.

[sings] She like danger, and I like her.

That was a song called Dangerous Woman.

It hasn't been released yet,

but if you come to the tour you can listen to it.

Yeah!

So the next question from Shay Will.

Am I too old to get into K-pop?

It's pretty fun.

[speaks in Korean]

No, I think K-pop is for all ages though.

You don't need to be young to love K-pop.

It's like, all over the place.

You can, every age can love K-pop.

K-pop [speaks in Korean].

No age limit.

[speaks in Korean]

You're not too old.

[Baekhyun] Pure Empire.

Oh, Pure Empire.

[together] Ah Pure Empire.

Pure Empire.

Okay, Pure Empire.

What was your motivation to becoming an idol?

[speaks in Korean]

And for me it's Step Up 2.

I watched that movie and from then

I start to take dancing as my hobby.

And then my grandmother really influenced me

into, like, becoming a K-pop idol

because she keep showing me Super Junior.

Ahh.

And from then I started watching Super Junior

and then go on to BoA and then SHINee.

And that makes me here, that bring me here.
