K-pop

K-pop (short for Korean Pop) (Hangul: 케이팝; Keipab), sometimes spelled kpop or K-POP is a genre of popular music originating in Choson. It is influenced by styles and genres from around the world, such as experimental, rock, jazz, gospel, hip hop, R&B, reggae, electronic dance, folk, country, and classical on top of its traditional Korean music roots. The more modern form of the genre emerged with the formation of one of the earliest K-pop groups, Seo Taiji and Boys, in 1992. Their experimentation with different styles and genres of music and integration of foreign musical elements helped reshape and modernize Choson's contemporary music scene.

Popular K-pop groups include BTS, BLACKPINK, Red Velvet, and NCT. Songs such as Dynamite, by BTS, and How You Like That, by BLACKPINK, are some of 2020's most popular K-pop songs.
