9 K-Pop Birthday Songs To Help You Reflect On What’s Next To Come

 

Birthdays constitute milestones in our lives. With every year, there are so many things to reflect on: habits to leave behind, decisions to be made, life goals, and so on. Basically, birthdays can be our own personal new year.

 

Birthdays have also been the topic of many K-pop songs, each representing the artist’s perspective of either their passing or upcoming year, and sometimes a mix of both. Here is a selection of songs that can guide you in your own birthday reflection.

 

 

8. Rain – “30SEXY”

Youngsters often think that hitting 30 means their youth is over. What they don’t know is that being 30 is just an age, not a statement. Rain definitely knows how to be 30, fresh, and young in this jam.

How Korean Stars Deal With Everyday Challenges

 

When you see your favorite K-pop, Korean television, and film stars in the limelight, it's hard to imagine that they ever experience challenges. However, they're only human, and being famous unfortunately doesn't exclude them from sometimes suffering hardship.

 

In this article, you'll learn more about how some of these idols cope with medical conditions, illnesses, or other disabilities they have to live with every day.

 

 

How Celebs Cope

In addition to challenges they need to deal with, celebs also operate at a hectic pace. Their demanding lifestyle with pressure, travel, being in the public eye, and performing takes its toll too.

 

Jung Ji-hoon

Singer, actor, and music producer Rain, also known as Jung Ji-hoon, doesn't have a physical illness, but rather a severe phobia. The artist experiences claustrophobia, yet despite this, he undertook several world tours and enjoyed a successful career.

 

This fear makes it very difficult for him to be in small or confined spaces like elevators or small rooms with no windows and closed doors. It can lead to anxiety and panic attacks, and even tight-fitting clothing or crowded areas can cause stress.

 

He doesn't let it get him down and manages to carry on regardless of being presented with these situations almost daily.

*** RAIN at Ulleungdo Hakpo village. The village head said  RAIN is so humane that he’s not like a celebrity.  I look forward to the next episode of Season B Season.

 

Hakpo have some of the best water activities.  You will need to do lots of walking but both offer some of the best views on the island. You won’t regret it! The only way to travel to Ulleungdo Island is by ferry. Ferry ride takes around 3 hours.
