	Gayo/Contemporary Korean Music History
		Contemporary Korean music was greatly influenced by the social and historical events in the past century.
		From 1910-1945, Korean music was largely a propaganda machine for the Japanese during the Japanese occupation.
		Korean music is a natural indicator of the changing attitudes of Korean youth as groups take on a more flagrant, and liberal approach in their music which was never seen and permitted before SeoTaiji and Roo'ra changed the music scene.

		Beside Japanese popular music which is supported by the largest number of fans, American jazz and pops, French chansons, Latin music from South America, and canzone from Italy have always attracted many enthusiasts.
		Popular music numbers and songs, which have become hits in Europe and the U.S., are almost immediately introduced and played in Japan, and recordings are promptly put on sale.
		Instrumental music from the West permeated the general public through performances by the military bands of the Army and the Navy, organized with the cooperation of foreign countries such as Britain, France and Germany.

	About Korea: Culture: Performing Arts: Music (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Korean traditional music can be roughly divided into two major categories, chong-ak and sog-ak: music for the ruling class and for the common people, respectively.
		Hyang-ak simply means native Korean music, a noted example of which is Sujech'on, a piece of instrumental music often claimed to be at least 1,300 years old, which would predate the first compilation of Gregorian chants.
		Music for the upper class consists of a type of ensemble music, p'ungnyu, the most sophisticated Korean lyric song genre; kagok, and the indigenous Korean popular song, sijo.

		The song was banned from Korean broadcast, and the incident raised public debate about the nature of "Korean-ness" in popular music (although it did not result in any official investigation into piracy or copyright issues by the government or by scholars).
		Based on analyses of the musical styles, vocal techniques, visual representations, and lyrics of contemporary popular songs from Japan and Korea, I will pinpoint major trends in Japanese influence on Korean popular music, which is not a simple matter of borrowing or imitation, but a complex cultural issue bearing on Korean taste and cultural self-image.
		Koreans' perceptions of themselves as gendered beings are thus created and reflected by the popular musicians, who in turn are marketed as ideal women and men.

	Global Movement of Korean Pop Music
		The term hallyu refers to the phenomenon of Korean popular culture, disseminated primarily through the mass media, enjoying a broad popularity outside of Korea in countries such as the People's Republic of China, Republic of China, Vietnam, Singapore, and Japan.
		The focus on Taiwan not only provides the opportunity to study the popularity of Korean popular music in contemporary Taiwanese society but also the complex issues involved in the importation of cultural products, the relationship between indigenous and foreign musical forms, and the global movement of popular music.
		This musical movement is important to address because it connects to the bigger concept of globalization on which many scholars in folklore and ethnomusicology are focusing today.

	NEWCITYCHICAGO.COM: Street Smart Chicago
		Up until around 1989, it really sucked to be a Korean music fan, as the government maintained strict censorship and even went so far as to ban nearly all live musical performances (because, as you know, rock concerts lead inevitably to rioting, drug use, and all sorts of weird, subversive behavior).
		Korean popular music comes in three main flavors: R&B-infused teen pop, hip-hop, and completely insane, freestyle club music (yes, there's Korean rock 'n' roll, but it's generally nothing to write home about).
		Korean hip-hop, meanwhile, has its share of sucka MCs, but also boasts standouts like MC Sniper and the Korean-American duo Drunken Tiger, both of whom could mop the floor with `Lil Flip or 50 Cent in a battle (for a good recent compilation, check out "HipHop In Da Mú:D").
