The Korean Wave in Pop Music

Korean music has changed dramatically in the past decade, most recently in popular music epidemics. In this article we will focus on Hallyu, focusing on the history and culture of K - POP. I think that the kind of music has never succeeded in penetrating the outside world and fusing culture. Because this type of music is relatively new, in just twenty years, traditional musical senses must use grain of salt. I will divide this paper into three areas including history and culture, sound itself and type of performance as described above.

The Korean boom phenomenon is called "Korean wave". This term is popular through the popularity of Korean culture, ie TV series, fashion, food and music. Korean pop culture (K-pop) will be the focus of this article, but it is important to note that the power of Korean culture is all related to 'Korean Wave'. In 2012, PSY released a song called Gangnam Style. This became the most viewed video on YouTube until 2017 and recorded more than 3 billion viewers. Social media has played an important role in bringing K Pop to many countries all over the world. Tumblr, Instagram and Twitter are the main reason why Korean bands such as BTS, Girls' Generation, EXO, SHINee, BIGBANG, (G) I - DLE are well known all over the world. This is "top social artist" who won the Billboard Music Awards in BTS at 2017 and 2018, which exceeds the performance of Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande.

K-Pop is the abbreviation for "Korean Pop Music". Since the financial crisis in 1997, it is one of Korea's most important cultural exports. In addition to movies and television series, K - Pop is also a part of so-called Korean wave or Korean wave. From 1997 to 2005 and 2007, the "first wave" struck Asia. Now is the "second wave". It is global. Dr. Sun Rong believes that K - Pop has filled the gap. Mr. Iwakiwa Iwaki pointed out that contemporary Japan's pop culture is "culturally tasteless" and Hollywood and America's pop culture is shallow. In contrast, South Korean pop culture represents a changing postmodern world, soft manhood, and "Asian new rich" along the concept of ancient gentleman.

Korea: TV series, Mukuban, celebrity Starcraft champion, and one of the most dynamic and dominant mobile music industry in the world. Since the formation of modern Korean pop music in the early 1990s, the wave of Korean wave or Korean culture steadily developed into a global phenomenon. BIGBANG, EXID, Girls' Generation fans are now available worldwide. There are many TV drama TV lovers and Korean film enthusiasts. "Culture is power in the 21st century," former president Park une is the inauguration speech in 2013, his predecessor (now imprisoned) raises the world's growing advantage of Korean style Said. However, many North American music fans will think "Gangnam style" if they think about Korean music, that is it. When referring to Korean music by western media, systems in Korea and Japan are often judged to train their idols from a young age.
