	K-pop - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term refers to Korean popular music, specifically South Korean popular music (there is practically no popular music industry in North Korea).
		Many of the Korean pop stars and pop groups are well known in East Asia and other parts of Asia.
		The emergence of the group Seo Taiji and Boys in 1992 marked a turning point for Korean popular music, as the group incorporated elements of American popular musical genres of rap, rock, and techno into its music.

		This handsome Korean soul has been a leading force of the "Korean Wave," as dubbed in China and Taiwan, or the ongoing frenzy of Korean pop culture that is sweeping vast regions of East Asia.
		Beyond listening to Korean pop songs and watching Korea TV dramas, the new generation of consumers classified as the "Korea Tribes" are aggressively adopting and emulating Korean lifestyles ranging from fashion, food and consumption patterns to even plastic surgeries.
		Korean industry veterans argue that, even though these countries are ready to accept Western values, the people may still find Japanese and American mass cultures irrelevant to their reality and uncomfortable with the foreign cultures' emphasis on violence and sex.

		As I understand it (and this is just what Korean musicians have told me), for a long time the government put heavy taxes on any establishment that wanted live music.
		The way that musicians learn and create is by playing together and forming bands and splitting up and then forming new bands, etc., but Koreans had only two choices: sit in their room at home and play along to records, or go to the US/Japan.
		Thus, not only was there the natural proclivity to be influenced by western pop music, it was almost fore-ordained that they would be; those musicians who had the opportunity to live and play in LA, (or Tokyo) for example, learned and polished their skills far more than those who stayed at home.

		South Korean dramas are having a huge influence on the popularity of South Korean singers in this country, and some actors have turned out to be as popular as singers as they are as actors in Japan, according to Kitabayashi.
		But the South Korean TV drama craze certainly helped sales of South Korean pop music explode last year, reaching nearly 10 times the level of the previous year.
		But what makes these countries different from Japan is the fact that the boom in South Korean pop culture in these countries started with the popularity of K-pop singers and spread to television, not the other way round.

	[KS] Re: Korean Pop Music
		The ideas of an "original" Korean pop genre worried the nationalist intellectuals of the 1930s.
		The turroto music that morphed into something variously refered to as yuhaeng-ga or kayo was enormously popular in the 1920s and 1930s and this demand drove the creation and expansion of phonograph and records.
		Any mass popular medium as it developed in the early 20th century was going to be synthetic and the means of modern cultural reproduction and consumption were dropped into an already changing cultural market in the 1920s.

		Park says that studies done on successful Korean women politicians found that they all had strong fathers, which she says is also true for the golfers.
		Korean phenomenon Se Ri Pak's father was notorious for dominating his daughter's life, from making her sleep in cemeteries to get over fear to keeping her from normal teenage activities to focus exclusively on playing golf.

		Kim Chu-Ja is a another korean pop star and debuted with support of Shin Jung-hyun. This record is a her debut album. Musical performance by Donkeys of Shin Jung-Hyun. I think that this record Donkeys play style similar to early Japerson airplane. Especially side B 2 song is a unique koreanized psychedelic song!!
