Last night, I went to this place called “Hongdae”. For those
K-pop fans I am pretty sure that “Hongdae” is one of the places in your “to go”
list. Well, I am a concert blogger however come to think of it I often go to
those kinda mainstream artists here in Korea. I tried going around and looking
for raw talents in the center of the arts pub here in Korea which is Hongdae.
8pm is the peak time to these performers. Buskers are
everywhere in Hongdae. Street passers gather around those beautiful melodies
and just sink in to the gravity of time. There were around 5 performers that I
personally witnessed.
- the guitarist and his bestfriend
What I meant by “bestfriend” is
his guitar. Those God-given fingers were flying over the place. Crowds were
loving every single moment of it. He was interacting with the crowds and were
teasing the crowds. Below are some clips of his performance. And yes, there
were some fans who stayed until he finished and even asked to take a photo with
him.
the famous mission impossible
2.) Footloose
on the ground
Judging by the title you guys
have an idea of what I am talking about right? Yes, that’s right they’re
dancers. I was amazed at how they dance. I tell you I personally dance myself
but the way that they dance lead me to a total different world. Those guys were
dancing to girl group idol songs and I tell you they were more gentle compare to
those girls.
1 3.) Singer
gagman
This person constantly makes
jokes and gags every couple of minutes and the crowd were loving it. Unless you
have a sufficient range of Korean you might not understand what he is saying.
But this is actually a raw concept to showcase 2 different talents mixed together.

4 4.) Boyfriend
Not the idol group boyfriend, but
when he sings every girl that passed by
fell in love with that sweet voice of
his. It was sweet and romantic that definitely conquered the time of fall. He
sings to different songs and he himself played the guitar and immerse in the
universe of music. (omg, i gave him some money and water!!)
1 5.) Band
on the move
They were teasing the crowds,
moving the hearts of the listeners. The melodies that resonates in the ears and
those notes that move the bars enabled one to believe in the magic of music.
They were grooving and were seeing.
Overall, the experience of this road of raw talents enabled
me to see and appreciate music at a different scale. What is music without
expression? Music is definitely a form of art that reaches out to different
people.
