K-pop is a type of music that I love. I will have a facts page, add a list of top 30 K-pop groups, & more!
Facts
- K-pop stands for Korean pop.
- In a K-pop group, where members are mostly around the same age, a few months difference in birthdate makes a huge difference as well. For example, A is born in January and B is born in May. B still has to speak formal language to A, even though they are born in the same year.
- Once idols have a new song and album to promote, they go on up to 6 music shows a week to promote their songs.
- Over 100 groups debut in South Korea every year, but less than 5% are successful.
- It can go back to 1985.
- In the 1990’s, K-pop musicians incorporated American popular music styles.
