Kpop, short for Korean pop, is a genre of popular music originating from South Korea. It encompasses a wide range of musical styles, including elements of pop, hip-hop, R&B, rock, and electronic music. Kpop is characterized by its catchy melodies, polished production, and often elaborate choreography.
The genre is known for its visually appealing music videos, fashion-forward aesthetics, and dynamic performances, often featuring groups rather than solo artists. Kpop idols typically undergo rigorous training in singing, dancing, and public performance, and they are often marketed as multi-talented entertainers.
Kpop has gained a significant global following since the late 1990s and has influenced music and pop culture worldwide, leading to the rise of dedicated fan communities often referred to as “fandoms.” The genre has also played a role in the Korean Wave (Hallyu), promoting Korean culture internationally. Notable Kpop acts include groups like BTS, BLACKPINK, EXO, and TWICE, which have achieved substantial success both in South Korea and around the world.
