What song or piece of music do I like? I like K-pop. I would say because when I was a teenager, I really loved to listen to K-pop music. K-pop is a genre that includes a little bit of rap and a little bit of pop. It's really cool and strong, and you can dance to it. You can do anything, everything you want to do. It's really enjoyable. When I first heard about K-pop, it was in 2016. This was when K-pop groups, like Blackpink, first appeared, and it was amazing. Their songs were very popular in Korea and showcased Korean culture. I like their strong rhythm; it's a mix of rap and pop in one song, and it's really beautiful to hear. It's also very popular on TikTok and social media. Everyone sings and listens to their songs. I even watch and listen to their songs regularly. So, that's why I enjoy K-pop music.
