K-Pop

K-Pop is a Genre of Music which originated in South Korea. It can be traced back to the early 1960s, but it only became popular around the 2000s. It is made to represent Pop, and since it’s in Korea, its K-Pop (K for Korea).

K-Pop is not the traditional music for Korea. The traditional music is the folk songs, which are songs like A Song of Peace, and Far Too Close To You. K-Pop simply took the ideas of some Folk Songs, and mixed it with what they had. Sadly, while K-Pop is getting more famous, Folk Songs are getting less well known.

K-Pop is a very different type of music. The people normally talk in Chinese or Korean, and unless you can understand these languages, it will be hard to understand what they’re doing. That doesn't mean that this is bad. When they sing, even if you don’t understand it, you will get the full impact of the music, and will just like because it’s really trippy. They also spend millions of dollars on things like their costumes, and the background, which makes the videos moren awesome.
