The first thing that you need to do is to select a band that you fancy. You will have a variety of options to choose from, such as a boy-band, girl-band, male solo, female solo and even co-ed bands. Pick the band that interests you. There is no rule against liking a particular kind of band or music, so feel free to pick more than one band if you want, though it can take you a bit longer to get acquainted with the Korean music if you pick more than one band.

You can also transfer the songs from the computer to your cell-phone and use air-phones to listen to the songs of your selected band on the go. The more you listen to Korean music, you more you will learn about it.
