During the same year, one of the first Korean music videos in the Philippines was aired on Myx, a local music channel. This is the music video of the Korean female group known as Kiss for their ballad, “Because I'm A Girl”. Not long after, the music video of Korean singer Mina for her first album's carrier single, “Answer the Phone” also entered the local music scene. Eventually, in 2004, both of these songs were remade by Roxanne Barcelo in her debut album.' Because I'm A Girl was made Filipino as Kung Alam Mo Lang, whereas Mina's Answer the Phone was translated into English retaining its original title.
Going back to the television, following the success of Endless Love came in Full House in 2005. Full House also starred the same actress from the first season of Endless Love, Song HyeKyo, who was paired with Korean singer-actor Rain. Rain's debut in the local television paved way for K-Pop to be more known in the Philippines. Not long after the airing of the said series, his music videos such as I'm Coming and the more recent Love Story started to enter the charts of Myx and local FM stations. Because of the rise of Rain as a singer here in the Philippines, among other reasons, more Filipinos became interested in K-Pop; more Korean singers became known and loved like Girl’s Generation, BoA, and Super Junior.

One afternoon she decided to show me one of her favorite music videos. I was immediately entranced with the vocals and clear dance moves this group showed. Each syllable of every word was perfectly matched to its high or low note ending in a harsh and smooth finish. Menna soon realized I was amazed so we continued to listen to their music and watch their videos. After I became involved in their fan support system, also known as a fandom, I also became interested in Korean dramatic television shows and the idealistic Korean styles that are portrayed through the media.
Even though this show was canceled, it was the first show to have a dominantly Asian cast and hopefully will spark more successful shows like it.

However, over the past 10 years Rap music has received more and more of the blame for problems specifically problems with black youth today. These Problems include black on black crimes, violence, Drugs, Gang members, and high school dropout rates all these problems were significantly influenced by rap music and the negative aspects it brings to young black men and women today.

Do rappers really have this much of impact over Black youth? Can rappers be role models?
When it comes to hip hop music and hip hop culture all together, it can have many influences on people who like the culture of hip hop. His may be from the clothes that are worn and even the lyrics a specific hip hop artist says in his or her music. But one group of people, in my opinion, that hip hop culture influences the most is the youth.

Rap music features lyrics filled with slang and often peppered with profanity, which has caused concern among parents, educators and activists alike. Rap videos can also illustrate glamorous and dangerous fantasies. But rap music is a diverse genre, used to express a wide variety of realities and aspirations. Even if your teenager imitates the fashions and language used by rap artists, this may not always indicate a significant change in your teen's values or goals. Rap lyrics are emotionally intense and often spin a rags-to-riches tale.” According to Michael Delpleache of Hip Hop Gives Back, a youth empowerment organization, teens are drawn to the fantasies of wealth, glamour, and sex appeal in rap videos”.

Korea is a vibrant environment for contemporary music, and produces a wide array of styles. The country has produced internationally prominent composers and singers including Psy in which one of his music became a global phenomenon. Moreover, a new genre called Kpop also emerged during the 1990 's up to present.
