As a K-Pop fan, it can be easy to get so wrapped up in the world of infectious, addictive pop and idols that you can almost forget that there are many other thriving genres and sub-genres of music in South Korea.

Of course, one of these is hip hop! Though the genre is still fairly new in South Korean music terms, many artists have already taken it on as their own and made significant names for themselves as hip hop artists. Just a quick search through a few songs shows how much talent is actually present in this area.

So today, we offer you a selection of South Korean hip hop, which will hopefully please the already established Korean hip hop fans and pique the interest of potential new ones! Remember to also let us know of your favourites!

It's that time once again, the new academic year is starting and students everywhere are beginning or going back to school, university or college. It can be a time of happiness, nervousness and even dread for many of us. Those of us who are now full-time workers also probably look back upon their school years with mixed feelings of warm nostalgia and perhaps, a little relief that they no longer have to endure their most hated lessons.

Whatever your age, you have probably noticed that schools serve as a popular background for many a Korean MV, drama and film. It is easy to see why this is the case - a school setting can provide the perfect backdrop for drama, first love, friendship and fighting.

To celebrate this dynamic time of year, we have decided to select a few K-Pop MVs that feature a school theme. Do you have a favourite?
