The 2024 Hanteo Music Awards became a hot topic for multiple reasons. While the lineup was star-studded, the number of bizarre incidents allegedly occurring was even more of a spectacle than the show itself, let's find out why! Now if you have not already heard, one crazed fan threw "pooped-filled" pants on stage to the K-pop idols who were seen holding their noses on February 18th, 2024. The poop incident was one of the standouts of the night. It was earlier reported that a fan had pooped their pants in the standing area. According to reports, they ended up removing their pants for the act. A netizen surfaced on Twitter to apologize for the matter, but they turned out to be a fake. The poop incident is very much real, however, as many attendees verified it with photos that were posted on social media. Several videos surfaced and caused much confusion among idols and fans alike! Perhaps it was for attention or they really disliked the performances? Like me, I was totally shocked to hear that a fan would do such a thing at an event like this!

With so many different K-pop groups popping up left right and center, is the K-pop market too saturated for any sort of global and domestic following and success? Of course, with the advancements in technology, and it being easier than ever to make music, is the K-pop industry in 2024 oversaturated with artists? Are people becoming bored of too many of the same groups? These are all questions that the industry has started to ask itself. The answer from us at Dojeon Media is a resounding, "Yes!" The industry is oversaturated! It is more challenging for K-pop groups under smaller labels or companies to achieve the level of success that was once possible for BTS, especially in the VERY competitive industry that has become the K-pop industry. Of course, BTS's success story is quite extraordinary in itself. However, smaller groups can make a mark in the industry. It often requires a combination of talent, hard work, strategic marketing, timing, and luck. Additionally, with the rise of social media and digital platforms, there are more avenues for exposure and fan engagement, which can benefit smaller groups in gaining visibility and building a dedicated fanbase. For us, many of the "groups" have too many members for a start, and it really takes the focus off of individual members, which as a result can make it harder for them to pursue solo careers after the band breaks up, as they are simply overshadowed and as a result forgotten about. The dance routines although good, tend to be the same and the style of lyrics and use of autotune in our humble opinion, is overused. Not to mention songs are released too often (around every 6 months) Will any K-pop groups be remembered in the future other than BTS or Blackpink ? The oversaturation of groups in the K-pop industry has propelled the genre into a new dark age that normalizes disbandments and fluctuating microtrends. For those familiar with the K-pop scene, it is unsurprising to hear a new group debut every few months or so. In fact, over sixty groups and sub-units debuted in the last year alone, however, only a select few have remained relevant in general K-pop banter, such as LIGHTSUM, Billlie, MIRAE, OMEGA X, PURPLE KISS , and Xdinary Heroes. Although these groups may have released amazing music, the competition for popularity has drowned out the possibility of other, more underrated groups ever reaching the same fame. This is all thanks to the unfortunate oversaturation of K-pop groups.  Let us know in the comments below if you think the K-pop industry is becoming/is oversaturated! #kpop #kpopculture #kpopfans

2024 is considered a lucky year, and it's the Year of the Dragon , the blue dragon or wood dragon to be precise, and it's the only mythical creature in the zodiac calendar. In the 2024 Year of the Wood Dragon, the Korean Lunar New Year in Seoul falls on Saturday, February 10th with public holiday dates stretching from Friday, February 9th to Sunday, February 11th, which means that mostly all Koreans will have days off for this period. We break down some awesome must-do Seollal (Korean Lunar New Year) activities that your wallet will thank you for! Let's check out these five things to do! Whether you are in Seoul for Seollal this year or thinking about coming to a city outside of Seoul, there are plenty of things to see and do! I personally think it's great to stay in Seoul for Seollal as it's fairly quiet which can make it a fun experience to go sightseeing without the horrendous crowds. Also, if you are thinking about leaving the big city, you WILL get stuck in traffic, because most people head back to their hometowns to reunite with their families. Let's check out the things you should see, while you're in Seoul! 1. GYEONGBOKGUNG PALACE & OTHER HISTORICAL SITES Major royal palaces like Gyeongbokgung   and traditional tombs like Jongmyo Shrine will stay open for Lunar New Year in Seoul. Best of all, admission to all sites is free! Now, I think this is one of the most perfect times of year to visit, as usually these sites are very crowded with locals and tourists alike! Gyeongbokgung promises to be a hub of activity during Seollal in Seoul. If you haven’t had a chance to stop into one of these majestic places yet, this is the perfect time to go to experience cultural performances, traditional folk games, and other fun activities and of course, it will allow you to wear "Hanbok" which means (Korean traditional clothes). 2. Theme Parks Now, With 35 million Koreans on the road home for the Lunar New Year, theme parks like Lotte World , Everland, and Seoul Land can be a little quieter than normal. Best of all, there are Seollal activities, parades, and light shows to enjoy at a discounted price. If you are staying in Seoul, and don't have time to travel to Everland (which is located South of Seoul) then perhaps Lotte World Adventure is one of the easiest theme parks to access in Seoul, accessible by subway at Jamsil Station. There are both indoor and outdoor areas at Lotte World, so it’s easy to stay warm even during the depths of winter. 3. SKIING, SNOWBOARDING, AND SLEDDING RESORTS The Lunar New Year in Seoul usually falls in January or February. With the most snowfall of the year, these months also happen to be the best for skiing, snowboarding, and sledding in Korea. Phoenix Park located in Gangwon-do is a perfect family-friendly Ski Resort that offers ski lessons & snowboarding lessons for first-timers or to refresh your memory. As for me, I went here during the Christmas holidays and had a fantastic time! There are other resorts in the area, such as Eden Valley & High1 Ski Resort. Visiting a Ski resort also allows you to take a staycation outside of the city over the Seollal period, before the hustle of a busy work schedule returns. 4. Gwangali Drone Show in Busan On February 10th —  There will be a Lunar New Year Special performance with 2,000 drones at 7 P.M on Gwangali Beach  in Busan . This really is not to be missed! With locals and tourists gathering here to watch the drone show, it leads to an impressive experience and great photos too! Gwangali boasts a wide variety of Korean and Western restaurants as well as many bars, so you will never be short of places to ring in the Lunar New Year. Looking out over the ocean you will also see many boats, soaking in this relaxed atmosphere. 5. Spend a night at a Korean Temple Imagine swapping the hustle of finding something to do within the city on a Public Holiday like Seollal for a Temple Stay in South Korea – it’s not just a retreat; it’s a cultural adventure! There are many temples in Korea, which offer special temple stay programs for foreigners  that let you dive into traditional rituals while soaking in the serene vibes and beautiful landscapes that most temples here are surrounded by. For me, it has been something that I have wanted to try for a long time. Picture yourself meditating, partaking in Buddhist ceremonies, and sometimes exchanging smiles with resident monks, how awesome would that be?! So, if you’re up for a different kind of celebration, consider a Temple Stay! Regardless of your budget, there are plenty of things to do over the Seollal holiday in Korea. Why not tag us in your posts if you visit any of these destinations? Comment below to let us know how you'll be spending your Seollal holiday! #seollal #koreanholidays #lifeinkorea #koreanlife #vacationtime #vacationinkorea
