K-pop
(abbreviation of Korean pop; Hangul: 케이팝) is a musical genre originating in South Korea that
is characterized by a wide variety of audiovisual elements. Although it
comprises all genres of "popular music" within South Korea, the term
is more often used in a narrower sense to describe a modern form of South
Korean pop music covering a range of styles including dance-pop, pop ballad,
electropop, R&B, rock, jazz, popera, hip-hop and classical music. The genre
emerged with one of the earliest K-pop groups, Seo Taiji and Boys, forming in
1992. Their experimentation with different styles of music "reshaped
Korea's music scene". As a result, the integration of foreign musical
elements has now become common practice with K-pop artists.
K-pop entered the
Japanese market at the turn of the 21st century and rapidly grew into a
subculture among teenagers and young adults of East and Southeast Asia. With
the advent of online social networking services, the current global spread of
K-pop and Korean entertainment known as the Korean Wave is seen in Latin
America, India, North Africa, the Middle East, and elsewhere in the Western
world.
