About Korean Popular Music

All song and music materials gathered from www.Wikipedia.com and www.Youtube.com .

According to wikipedia.com, Korean pop music also referred to as K-pop, GaYo or KaYo music from South Korea. Many of these artists and musical groups have branched out of South Korea and have become popular in many countries around the world. The popularity of K-pop is often considered a part of the rise of the Korean Wave, the recent surge of popularity of contemporary South Korean culture in Asia.

SNSD

However, unlike American pop music, which had most of its boy bands and girl groups either break up or informally disband, bubblegum pop is still very popular in South Korea. Groups such as Girls' Generation (SNSD), TVXQ, Super Junior, Wonder Girls, Big Bang, 2NE1, SS501, Kara, SHINee, 2PM and U-Kiss continue to be top sellers in K-pop.
The beginning of 2008 saw the rise of electronica dominance in the K-pop scene, influenced by the release of Big Bang's mini-album Always, which heavily featured the genre. Other artists also followed the trend, such as Jewelry for their song "One More Time" and Brown Eyed Girls for "L.O.V.E." Even artists that release music in other genres have released electronica-influenced albums to suit the current trends, including Epik High, Gummy, Clazziquai, and Lee Seung-cheol.
