Hello everyone. Thanks for giving me a chance to speak here. Good morning. Before I start, I’ll ask tyou some questions….
I believe everyone here has known Hollywood right? and also Bollywood? As we know, Hollywood has become the house of best actor, best movie, best music, best musician and many more. Also Bollywood for its unique dance, song and their clothes such as Sari. Now... how about Hallyu wave? Or K-pop? Have you ever heard anything about K-pop? If you don’t know anything about K-pop or have heard some issues about it and you want to know more. I’ll explain some information about K-pop.
Just to let you know, I have done a research about K-pop and I have watched some K-pop concerts and I also daily update about K-pop.
First, I will describe about K-pop its self. Then, what’s the different about K-pop fans and no K-pop fans and also some information about K-pop world.
Now, I’ll start with “what is K-pop?”
If you want to know about Hallyu Wave you need to know about K-pop. Korean Pop or usually known as K-pop is a music genre with its own style from South Korea. K-pop may include any genre of South Korea popular music. It’s not always pop. It can be rap, ballad, and rock. Usually K-pop sung by a systematic trained K-pop idol and signed under a certain management. Since K-pop has become global now, K-pop has many version of its song such as English version, Japanese version, and also Mandarin version.

First; Dancing.

    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…

    Intro We all love music. From the darkest songs about things we don’t want to think about to heavenly pieces we can’t have enough of, music has just always been there. Even the almost imperceptible things like the small beat of a co-worker or classmate is tapping with their foot or the seemingly unconnected hubble of sound is music. But when you really get down to it, music has all kinds of questions that we can’t answer. For example, why do people like different types of music?…

    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.…

    The Korean wave, otherwise known as Hallyu, originated from the Korean success in film marketing. The wave began in East Asia around the 1990s and spread globally to parts of Europe, the United States, and even Latin America (Ravina 2009). This phenomenon has led to thousands of non-Koreans to question how the Korean wave originated. Authors like Shim Dooboo, Shin Solee, and Kim Lanu revisit the possible causes of the success of the Korean Wave. While Shim Dooboo argues that the government promotion and funding was the driving force behind the Korean wave (Shim 2006), Shin Solee and Kim Lanu argue that it is the success of the Korean entertainment houses that accounts for the boom of the Korean wave (Shin and Kim 2013). The Korean wave, an occurrence that has lasted for many years now, is currently at its greatest impact. Although the Korean culture has assimilated into the American culture for some people, it has recently “died down”. The success of the Korean wave came mainly from the “hybridization” of American music, perceived as soul, hip-hop, rap, and rock, and Korean music, originally consisting of mainly ballads (Shim 2006). However, recently the combination of two seemingly different cultures has led to some backlash including that of Rain, a popular singer from Korea, who was named, “a copycat of Justin Timberlake” (Ravina 2009).…

    My friend, Ruby, who is Chinese-American, introduced me to K-pop back when we were in our Freshman year of high school. The music was different than American pop music, and the rhythm of it suited my taste, therefore Ruby and I bonded over the music, but neither of us had any idea what the artist was saying. Also, because we were in to K-pop, we picked up a few words and phrases of Korean and would teach it to our other friends, who could care less about it. This lead us two Asian-Americans to grow closer during our four years of high school because the music brought us together. I also met people back at York County Community College who also enjoyed K-pop music, and we would always recommend each other different songs by different…

    Kia Motors

    • 974 Words

    The four 'Asian Tigers' consisted of Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan and South Korea. Despite the booming economy of all four of the latter; all four were badly hit by the 1997 Asian Crisis but managed to pull through and as a result and in the years after the crisis, all four economies rebounded strongly. South Korea, the worst-hit of the tigers, has managed to triple its per capita GDP in dollar terms since 1997. This is due to many external factors such as trading, manufacturing and an increasing trend of the political stability between North and South Korea. Though the present political situation between the two opposite poles seems rather unstable, South Korea has managed to maintain its tourism and export services and goods percentage on an all time high. As Kia Motors Singapore is still in the introductory stage due to the long brand cycle life of automobile cars, a good sense of unrelated publicity led to a growing trend of interest in the brand. In the 2000s, the first worldwide Korean wave swept through with the emergence of dramas such as Winter Sonata and popular boy bands such as DBSK and Super Junior in relation to the present Korean Wave of signature sleek moves and fancy looks from both boy and girl bands such as Girls Generation, Kara, 4minute, Rainbow, SS501 ,EXO, EXO-M; and to not so visually appealing of PSY and his two hit songs: Gentlemen and Gangnam Style. This brought forth a huge demand for goods, products and services both related and unrelated to these singers and dramas which included Kia Car s Models. This rapidly growing cultural export totalled to s sum of 5.02 billion in the year of 2012. This was far in comparison to the 1960s' South Korea as discussed earlier. The tendency of South Korea's marketing campaign to bridge the political and history gap with China has set off a series of even boy bands (EXO-M, Super Junior-M) formed just based on targeting the presently most influential business growth country has carried forth to even…
