K-POP is a compound word of 'Popular Music' and 'Korea', which means pop music in Korean popular music. Pop music is a field of popular culture, and originally the meaning of the word began in the English-speaking world and was regarded as the meaning of a song in Korea. The first time the term K-POP appeared was on October 9, 1999, Cho Hyun-jin, Korean correspondent for Billboard, 'S. Korea To Allow Some Japanese Live Acts' article, and it is said that it was inspired by the 'K-League', the name of the Korean professional soccer league. Pop music usually does not include national traditional music or folk music. Not all music belongs to pop music, as it mainly originates from modern and contemporary music that has developed greatly since the mid-20th century. In the past, it felt like it encompassed all of Korean music, but since 2010, it has been used to refer to world-famous dance music, teen pop music, idol music, ballad music, and OST among music made in Korea. Looking at the current development of K-POP over time, its definition is divided into three categories as follows. In the case of K-POP, the process and situation from starting in a specific country to spreading globally are different, so it is not possible to define it consistently with one meaning. The meaning of the first period of birth: Starting with Seo Taiji and Boys as representative singers who had a lot of influence on popular music in the early 90s, it can be seen that Deuce and others opened the door to K-POP. Since then, starting with hot, which was formed as a member of a high school student, group activities that fit the idol concept began one by one. The meaning of the 2nd birth period: K-POP transcends the borders of pop culture music popular among young Koreans, transcends countries, ethnicities, religions, languages, customs, etc. Based on this, global popular culture, music and arts sublimated into comprehensive art musicians. The meaning of the 3rd derivation period: K-POP is not a container containing only the characteristics of a unique ethnic group limited to the Korean people, but K-POP that has its own individuality by containing all the characteristics of various countries and nations, and reflects ethnicity, unique emotions and sensibilities. The inner strength that allows Format to derive and differentiate itself as a musician. Therefore, K-POP can be talked about individually by putting the English initials of each country in front, but the identity of all the phenomena that K-POP currently shows has a completely different meaning from the internal meaning of popular music in other countries. In the past, groups like the Beatles hit the world as a representative group in the UK, but this is an individual case that showed temporary popularity for a specific group, but it does not show a tremendous spread in all directions with a different dimension like K-POP. Therefore, the identity of K-POP must be analyzed from a different perspective and perspective, which is a great research subject from sociology, anthropology, and various artistic perspectives. North America, South America, Europe, Northeast/Southeast/Central Asia, the Middle East, etc. The continuous enthusiasm for K-POP in all countries with IT networks and some level of social stability is unprecedented in the history of pop music in each country. It's because you win. It is also noteworthy that Korea is one of the driving forces behind Korea's global soft power. On the other hand, music, midi, costumes, stage, lighting, dance, global members, music videos, directing, etc. shown in K-POP have been reborn as a comprehensive artistic musician, and you can see that these present appearances appear in almost the same form all over the world. . If some people mute the pop of each country, they will be mistaken for all K-POP, which means that the K-POP Format accepts and sublimates them based on their own ethnic characteristics, emotions and sensibilities, and is popular worldwide in the same form. can be seen to be Responsibility for all musicians in K-POP at the present time Most Koreans are the mainstream, and musicians from each country are slowly showing signs of budding.The following is a music video of a female Vietnamese singer that is currently in vogue and has achieved considerable success.If you watch the music video, you can see that the various directing, color, composition and texture are new forms that cannot be found in previous Vietnamese music history.The intuitive homogeneity shown in K-POP is very similar. In addition, the evaluation as music itself has very strong emotional characteristics unique to Vietnam, and judging from the appearance of Vietnamese traditional clothes, it can be seen as a representative case of sublimation of each country's ethnic characteristics, sensibilities, and emotions into the K-POP format. It can be seen that it corresponds to the derivation mentioned above. Another characteristic is that activities such as active cover dance and imitation of K-POP, which were not previously seen in popular music around the world, are popular worldwide and are popularized and spread through various social services including network-based YouTube. , which contributes to new marketability, revenue... and content diversification, which can be seen as creating another derivative possibility. As you know, famous idols not only in Korea but also abroad are called K-pop stars.
