Korean Pop Music	comment	Korean pop music (known in the West as K-pop) is an umbrella term for pop music originating from South Korea, usually similar in genre to pop in the United States. However, the material performed/produced by K-Pop artists covers a wide variety of genres, from EDM-inspired music to rock to softer ballads, and everything in between. Usually known outside the country for the numerous Idol Singers and idol Boy Bands and Girl Groups in the industry. K-pop and other Korean based entertainment such as Korean Dramas first became very popular throughout Asia in the 2000s, in a phenomenon that has been nicknamed the "Hallyu" or "Korean Wave". Like many things in South Korea, the talent agencies managing the singers are mostly based in Seoul. There are several distinctive generations of K-pop. The first generation (1992-2002) with groups like Seo Taiji and the Boys laid the foundations of K-pop and its distinctive musical stylings, mixing traditional Korean pop with hip-hop and rock. The second generation (2003-2012) saw the rise of idol groups like Super Junior and Girls' Generation which also coincided with the initial Korean Wave, and are noted for their catchy music and elaborate dance routines. The third generation (2012-2019) introduced groups such as BTS and EXO, which wrote more personal and complex lyrics and took advantage of the rise of social media to reach an international audience. The fourth generation (2019-present) introduced groups like Stray Kids and saw more diverse musical styling and a greater focus on the growing international market. Outside of South Korea, K-pop is most popular in Southeast Asia, Central Asia and Latin America, particularly in China, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, Kazakhstan, Mexico, Peru and Argentina. With the rise of groups like BTS and BLACKPINK in the late 2010s, K-pop is finding growing acceptance in North American and European countries. The term "K-pop" is somewhat controversial, however. Its legitimacy (since it originated in Western media) and its exact meaning are still debated to this day - in and outside of Korea. Does it refer to all Korean pop music, or just idol music? Is it a genre or an industry? Does the "K" in "K-pop" denote the Korean identity and unique aspects of Korean pop, or is it just otherizing it away from so-called "main" (that is, Western) pop? Notably, even some Korean artists are reluctant to describe it as a music genre rather than an industry or a dance/music/visuals package with a diversity of music genres. This is all complicated further by its use in Western media, with music platforms labeling Korean music of any kind as "K-pop" (even indie artists), with Minority Show Ghetto implications. Major K-pop corporations also received criticism for their exploitation of their artists, with issues such as overworking, exploitative contracts, restrictions on relationships and body images, and lack of creative control. In South Korea, there is also a backlash against idol groups due to genre fatigue, hiatus of once popular groups, perceived lack of authenticity, and growing focus on international audiences and Westernization of K-pop, and by the 2010s saw greater popularity of singer-songwriter artists like IU and PSY and the reemergence of alternate genres like trot (an older type of Korean pop known for its repeative rhythms and simple melodies). A stage musical inspired by the phenomenon, KPOP, played Off-Broadway in 2017 and is set to open on Broadway in November 2022. The Broadway cast includes a number of Real Life Korean pop stars.
