Staying on the fierce theme, few songs were embraced by the LGBT community as warmly as “Abracadabra” by Brown Eyed Girls. Maybe it’s the empowerment behind the lyrics and the ladies’ performance, or maybe it’s those thumping beats and the repetitive naega jeil jal naga that makes you feel fabulous once the song comes out, but there’s no denying “I Am the Best” is, well, the best song to represent your awesome self. What’s the soundtrack to this slow motion moment? 2NE1’s “I Am the Best,” of course! If K-pop held Fierce Awards, this would be the winner. The dark, smoky corridor into the dance floor is your runway, and you work it to the max to make your grand entrance. Imagine walking through the red velvet rope at the entrance of the club flicking your hair over your shoulder because you obviously didn’t wait in line or were carded. So on that note, here are some of our favorite songs to sing and dance to this joyous month.
And even if Korea is not as open with LGBT issues, that doesn’t mean K-pop songs aren’t the perfect jams to celebrate gay pride. It’s directly the opposite of shame, so instead of laying low and living in the dark, pride is all about celebrating oneself. This refers to a time for the LGBT community to promote and celebrate self-affirmation, equal rights, and increase visibility of their community. In the US and other countries around the world, June is considered pride month.
