As the driving force behind the Korean Wave, K-Pop is starting to pop up in some rather unexpected places. It has lunged across the boundaries of mainstream US culture following the successful footsteps of "Gangnam Style" and it is not slowing down any time soon.

Billboard, Spin, and a host of other media outlets in the United States have already jumped on the bandwagon making Korean pop more accessible to the masses, but the internet continues to be the biggest propellant.

Viral doesn't even begin to express the success rate of Korea's biggest stars on YouTube, but as many K-Pop fans already know, there is more to it than cutesy music videos and flashy dance numbers - a lot of legitimately good music is pouring out of the peninsula, and slowly but surely it's catching on.

BuzzFeed is a prime example of this, and in a December 9 music feature, several staff members listed '31 Excellent Records You Might Have Missed in 2013.'

Coming in at number seven, the Brown Eyed Girls' fifth album Black Box.

The New York City-based website presents editorialized viral content from around the web; meaning, they find what is popular on the internet and then present it in an easy and entertaining way.

BuzzFeed's Brown Eyed Girls shout out is not the first time they have shown K-Pop some love. The website was one of the first American sources to report on Crayon Pop's summer hit "Bar Bar Bar."

Other featured articles have included such things as 'The Best Songs to Introduce to Your Non-Kpop Friends' and '15 Times K-Pop Quietly Owned the World in 2013.'

Six BuzzFeed staff members contributed to the latest article where the Brown Eyed Girls stood as the sole Korean artist on the list.

"While the airwaves were obsessing over JT's 20/20 or Miley's Bangerz, we blinked right past K-Pop's Brown Eyed Girls' Black Box," wrote BuzzFeed fellow Tanya Chen.

"The fifth studio effort from the South Korean girl group received roaring global attention for its genre-bending sound," she noted. "Black Box pulls unlikely references from Quetin Tarantino (found on its obvious lead single "Kill Bill"), tight punch line rap, and familiar Top 40 riffs, making it one creative collapse of pop culture."

The short review was accompanied by audio of a lesser known track on Black Box, "Would Fly."

The Brown Eyed Girls appear alongside other talented cross-genre artists from around the world on the BuzzFeed list of this year's albums that deserve another look.
