The influence of the Kpop industry on the western industry

Kpop is the talk of the town. It is an abbreviation for Korean pop which has its premium fan base in South Korea. However, in recent years it has gained recognition and popularity in western countries and quite evidently, all over the world. Kpop is sensational. Some of the most sensational and mind-blowing performances came directly from the Asian country now known worldwide- South Korea. Korean culture is unique. Since it is a traditional country, it holds its religious beliefs in high regard. Surprisingly, it has, in no way stopped the music bands and dance groups in Korea from taking over the world with their top-tier performances and interesting personalities.

The uniqueness of Kpop

The most essential thing to understand is that kpop did not gain recognition because it was famous in the west. Kpop has been around for decades now and has a massive fan base in South Korea. The one thing that sets apart Korean bands, musicians, actors ad artists is that they are managed by agencies. However, this does not mean that people cannot make it on their own. But most bands that soar to great heights today are under the control of leading entertainment agencies. This could be one reason why artists can put more into showcasing their talent than worrying about all other aspects of their presence.

Growing popularity

Most people dream of impacting the entire world and so did some of the finest artists from Korea. The journey began through an extremely famous song that came out in the year 2013. Going by the name Gangnam style, it had the entire world hooked. The catchy tune and the peculiar music video led people to set out on the journey to explore what a hidden gem the kpop industry was. Ever since then, it has been uphill.

The country has been producing top-notch artists, singers, dancers, actors, actresses, and bands that have taken the world like a storm. BTS, the biggest boy band in the world started its tremendous journey in 2013. They have had their fair share of ups and downs and today, there is nothing they have not achieved. Except for a few awards, they have their bags full to the top.

Other artists like Blackpink and EXO have given the world some of the most fantastic music videos. Not only music but also Korean dramas have gotten more recognition than ever before. These dramas have a massive fan following due to their prominent and soft storylines and impeccable acting. The reason why kpop artists can retain their success and passion is because of how hard-earned it is. There is extensive training and retakes before you even get to debut. This is the leading factor why kpop artists are unique and humble. They register the amount of hard work they put in and never undermine it.

Kpop in the west

Out of all the reasons why kpop is essentially spoken about the most for its growing popularity in the US, the most vital one is how the US controls the entertainment industry. When you say west, you strictly mean the USA because you know how hard it is to convince the people of your authentic skills and talents. Additionally, the USA holds the most prestigious award shows throughout the year. The Emmy Awards and the Grammy Awards are the most prestigious in terms of acting and singing respectively. The reason why it is a big deal for a Korean act to make a mark in the west is because of how significant it is for their career and their country.  The west is giant and impacts the entire world. There is nothing as advantageous and honorable so as to make a mark in the west.

The global phenomenon

Currently, kpop is all shining. There is no other industry that is booming as much as kpop. The acts are getting better, and the success is promising. Additionally, the growth is exponential. Even if you are not a fan, you sure know about kpop. This is not true for many things. One particular industry that everybody knows about whether or not they follow it goes on to explain how impactful their acts, performances, and strategical growth has been over the years. Kpop has given the world a newer perspective, a way to look into what other things the entertainment industry has in store to offer. At this point, one can safely say that kpop is the most adventurous and consistent industry of all time.
