The Little Classic Art Salon Found in K-pop. Small cultural pleasures bring me great joy. I read while listening to music, and I watch movies and dramas. Sometimes I want to enjoy a variety of cultural experiences. These days there is so much content that choosing something is a task in itself. I find the blend of K-pop and classical music in The Little Classic Art Salon Found in K-pop fascinating. It recommends cultural content I want to see and brings another kind of enjoyment. Organized
You can feel how sincerely this book wants to bring happiness and joy to more people through music and art. It’s the best: I can read it easily and enjoyably while quickly building my cultural knowledge.
I’ve always loved Jimin’s “Lie” and thought the melody at the beginning was so beautiful. Coming across it through this book gave me an entirely new kind of emotion. I had only listened to these songs, but the book interprets idol songs I never thought about alongside classical music, classic literature, and films. It moves me and makes me feel more culturally informed.
SHINee’s Jonghyun’s “End of a Day,” Debussy’s “Clair de Lune,” and the poet Paul Verlaine’s “Clair de Lune.” The emotions these three artists could share through art itself. “A happiness that does not exist in this world”—emptiness. Have I ever encountered a work that expressed humanity’s fundamental emotions so concretely in my mind? I don’t think I’ve read another book that brings music, visual art, and film together and explains them through the humanities. It’s the best!
I picked up this book because I’ve always been interested in classical music. It felt like a happy journey in search of the classical music hidden in K-pop. I read it in one sitting, but it stayed with me and made me revisit films, music, and works of art. I’d listened to K-pop in the car because of my child, but hearing it now that I understand it feels completely different.
