RACHEL MARTIN, HOST:
Korean pop, or K-pop as it's known, has been huge - all the rage for a long time. It's a dance style, and it takes some serious training. NPR's Elise Hu and Code Switch's Kat Chow found out the hard way.
ELISE HU, BYLINE 1: If you're not familiar, K-pop is a style of music that typically features techno beats and intensely choreographed 2 music videos. In Seoul, you can go to specialized 3 dance studios that teach the signature, synchronized 4 routines.
We thought we were going to take a beginner's class, but that's not happening.
KAT CHOW, BYLINE: Nope. Apparently 5 it's pretty advanced, which is going to be interesting.
HU: In the manufacturing of this music, each song is assigned a certain dance concept, like playful or sporty or innocent.
What, if anything, is the concept that we're going after today? Instructor 6 Kim Ga-yeon.
KIM GA-YEON: (Speaking Korean).
CHOW: "It's a really manly 7 dance. It's really wild."
HU: Let's do this.
KIM: And five, six, seven, eight.
(SOUNDBITE OF MUSIC)
HU: There's a lot of...
CHOW: There was a lot of, like...
HU: ...There's a lot of, like, hip 8.
CHOW: ...Hip
HU: (Laughter) We are making fools of ourselves, but actual K-pop training regimens are not funny. Trainees 9 practice dance routines up to 12 hours a day.
Kat, what do you think?
CHOW: I would definitely give that a thumbs down.
HU: Kat Chow sums up our experience.
CHOW: Because, like, it's not even that I - like, I can't do it physically 10 but mentally too. I just can't. I can't keep up.
HU: K-pop stars are born out of a lot of training, but at least some natural ability is required. Elise Hu, NPR News, Seoul.
MARTIN: You can see Elise giving it her all at K-pop dance class along with all her other adventures at npr.org/elisetries.
