    K-pop originated in South Korea and has spread globally as part of the Korean Wave. Early Korean pop music was influenced by American and Japanese styles in the 1930s-1960s, with genres like trot and rock emerging in the 1970s. The 1992 debut of Seo Taiji and Boys blended rap, rock, and techno, decreasing the popularity of trot and setting a trend for modern K-pop groups. K-pop has become a significant model for youth culture throughout Asia in the last decade, though it was not until recently that the first English book provided a comprehensive account of the history and genres of Korean popular music from the 1930s to present day.

    South Korean music

    K-pop is an abbreviation for Korean pop music (also referred to as Kayo or Gayo music), specifically from
    South Korea. Many of these artists and musical groups have branched out of South Korea and have
    become popular in many countries around the world. The popularity of K-pop is often considered a part of
    the rise of the Korean Wave, the recent surge of popularity of contemporary South Korean culture in Asia.
    Modern Korean popular music first appeared in the 1930s. In the 1950s and 1960s, the musical
    performances organized by U.S. forces in and around the American military bases in South Korea
    provided South Koreans with examples of other modern music. The South Korean pop music scene soon
    had several genres: Boy or girl bands whose appeal lay mostly in their appearance; a technically difficult,
    older genre that had its roots in the colonial period and was popular with older Koreans; and the often
    amateur acoustic guitar singer-songwriters, who became popular in the 1960s and sang in a simple vocal
    style. In 1970s, rock music was introduced into South Korea, mainly popularized by Cho Yong Pil. Trot,
    pop music inspired by Japanese-styled music, also became a main genre in pop music. The debut of the
    group Seo Taiji and Boys in 1992 marked a turning point in South Korean popular music, as the group
    incorporated elements of American popular musical genres such as rap, rock, and techno into its music,
    which brought a decrease in the popularity of trot. The tremendous success of Seo Taiji and Boys in
    South Korea and other experimental groups, such as Panic, set the trend for the present generation of Kpop groups and artists. Dance-oriented acts became dominant in the South Korean popular music scene
    of the early 90s including the legendary hip hop
    Korean Pop music
    Korean popular music has in the last decade become a significant model for youth culture throughout
    Asia. Yet, although the Korean music industry is both vibrant and massive, this is the first book-length
    work devoted to Korean pop music in English. The book offers a comprehensive account written by
    thirteen scholars of Korean studies, ethnomusicology, and popular culture from Canada, Great Britain,
    Korea, the Netherlands, New Zealand, and the U.S. It charts Korean pop from the 1930s to the present
    day, from genres imitative of early twentieth-century European and Japanese styles ("trot" and
    "yuhaengga") to contemporary punk clubs, rap bands, and music television shows. Consideration is given
    to South Korean singers who catered to American troops in the aftermath of the Korean War, to acoustic
    guitar songs and their use in 1970s' student protest movements against military dictatorship, to state
    propaganda pop, and to the explosion of global styles that marked the 1990s. Lyrics and dance, media
    packaging and stage costumes, song rooms and singing doctors, highway songs and new folksongs, and
    the impact of the Internet are all explored.
