The big song in Korea right now is "Oh" by Girl's Generation (aka So Nyeo Shi Dae or SNSD). I guess I never really explained the Korean music business but I think I mentioned that a new hit will be played ad nauseum. The music biz in Korea is faaaaaaaaaaar less varied compared to the US.
SNSD is a group of 9 girls who were all signed at an early age, given dance and singing lessons, and then placed into a group by their record label. It's not quite the garage band scene associated with many American groups. There will only be 5-10 different music groups on the radio. This means that when a new hit comes out you hear it, a lot! Fortunately, I enjoy about 95% of the songs that come out so it's not that bad for me. If you give them a listen I am sure you will find them pretty catchy:
Oh by SNSD
Gee by SNSD (older song by Girl's Generation)
