'Mirotic' is a newly coined Korean term meaning 'forever trapped in a maze, a feeling of being wrapped in love with no way out'. This word summarizes nicely how good music makes you feel, and South Korea has some of the most unique and catchy hip-hop, R&B, electro and pop music in the world. This blog's purpose is to introduce that music to the lovers of these genres who do not yet know South Korean style.

Word of the Day: hiphap
The 'Word of the Day' is my way of learning (and hopefully at the same time, help you learn) Korean words pertaining to music, the 'biz' and those words specific to certain genre's, bands, and situations. It will all revolve around music, so it should be fun to find new words every day!
Today's word is 'hiphap'.
This one is really easy too, its the same as the English, but with the difference of one vowel!
It means 'hip hop'!
Written in Hangul, it looks like this: 힙합
It is pronounced 'hip hop', but with more emphasis on the 'hip'! Kinda like, 'heap hop'.
I hope you enjoyed today's Word of the Day. See you tomorrow!
