Outline of a Kpop Informative Speech
November 8, 2012
Outline of Informative Speech
Kpop Invasion

Topic: Korean pop
General purpose: To inform…
Specific purpose: To inform about Kpop.
Central idea: To inform my colleagues about Kpop. Kpop is more than ‘Oppa Gangnam Style’ that many have come to know. From music, it branched out to the other forms of media that becomes a part of pop culture and that of the new generation.

Introduction
Attention-getter: Play ‘Run by Tiger JK ft. Baby-T & the Jungle. I wanted to play this for a different feel from the comedic Psy’s great works.
Credibility Material: Though I’m not Korean and I can tell why Kpop has attracted me and brought me to the larger world. I can tell you my exploration into the different music and culture with new and old friends.
Relevance to the Audience: Though this is a different music from reggae, hip-hop or country many learn to explore the diverse sounds brought by various people of dissimilar backgrounds and traditions, which we all come to share with everyone. We can’t deny it Psy’s song and dance was a worldwide hit that everyone knows.
Preview of Speech: What I will inform and show you about Kpop is the glimpse of its culture from its globalized idols, fandom, and history, to the now popularized aesthetics in Korea.

    The Korean entertainment industry for a long time studied and understood the concept of soft power and its uses on the world stage. They knew the only way to penetrate an American cultured global concept of the entertainment market is not by riding against the tidal wave of US cultural imperialism, but to adopt it. They understood that in order to appeal globally and make it, they had to transform the popular K-pop music production to be more American. And today, in the soft power stage, K-pop is considered to be South Korea’s most powerful weapon on the world stage. Bringing in revenues of billions to the country and making the country a top recognized business hub for investors from around the…

    Imagine tickets being sold out in only a matter of 10 minutes across the globe in major cities like L.A., N.Y, Paris, Tokyo, and Seoul. But just who could be selling out concerts like this? Is it Lady Gaga, Black Eyed Peas, Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift? Actually try none, of them, the artist who are selling out these concerts in major countries around the globe are actually part of a growing phenomenon called Kpop which is short for Korean pop. Now I know what your thinking there’s no way this could be true, oh but it is. Take for example South Korean rapper PSY, recently released a music video for his song called “Gangnam Style” this song and music video are completely in Korean, but it has generated 400,000,000 view on his official Youtube channel alone becoming the 4th most viewed video in Youtube history. Shocking right what’s even more shocking is that you can even hear this song being played on the radio right here in S.C. on popular stations such as B93.7 and Hot 98.1. Now it’s clear from seeing this that Kpop is now quickly becoming a very popular genre of music not only outside of it’s originator South, Korea but even here in the United States and other countries around the world.…

    K-pop is an East-West mash-up. The performers are mostly Korean, and their mesmerizing synchronized dance moves, accompanied by a complex telegraphy of winks and hand gestures, have an Asian flavor, but the music sounds Western: hip-hop verses, Euro-pop choruses, rapping, and dubstep breaks. K-pop has become a fixture of pop charts not only in Korea but throughout Asia, including Japan—the world’s second-biggest music market, after the U.S.—and Taiwan, Singapore, the Philippines, Hong Kong, Thailand, Vietnam, and Malaysia. South Korea, a country of less than fifty million, somehow figured out how to make pop hits for more than a billion and a half other Asians, contributing two billion dollars a year to Korea’s economy, according to the BBC. K-pop concerts in Hong Kong and on mainland China are already lucrative, and no country is better…

    The globalization has lead to make every big incident, fact or event happening in any part of the world the topic of people’s conversations. Recently, a song sung by a South Korean(in his native language) rapper/entertainer Park Jae-sang, better known by his stage name Psy, was this topic. A lot views were kept forward regarding by various people but anyone could tell that they were overwhelmingly positive by just listening to the fever it had spread among the people. Because Korean is not an international language, few people claimed in to be all greek to them but against all such odds, the song was a record breaker and probably the greatest hit for Psy uptil now.…

    K-Pop music itself or generally known as Korean Pop music, has a meaning as a genre of music which is originally comes from South Korea that consists of pop, pop electronic, ballad, hip hop, dance pop, rock, and also RnB genres (Kpop For Beginners, 2017). K-Pop music now has grown into a popular subculture for teenagers and youths not only in Asia but also around the world. K-Pop also is known as one of the most recognizable music genres in the world because of its beats and coordinated dance moves that now are being widely adopted by pop stars in other countries (Feng, 2016). In these past decades, K-Pop music industry is widely known as the cultural capital of South Korea – that also known as Hallyu or Korean Wave – which seems become the greatest power of South Korea and having the greatest influence to its local citizens and people around the world. South Korea by its K-Pop music industry or Korean Wave is now becoming the center of people’s attention, and people from other countries are also starting to follow and being hypnotized by K-Pop music and Korean Wave. Looking through this phenomena, K-Pop music industry as being included as one of the modern cultures of South Korea, can be used as an important tool for South Korea in building and strengthening its cultural diplomacy which is supported by advanced technology in this globalized world. This topic is quite interesting for me to analyze more further about the K-Pop music industry as the soft power of South Korea and as an important tool for cultural diplomacy of South Korea, and also on how K-Pop music industry will affect the people and becoming the greatest power of South…
