K-Pop, short for Korean pop, was popularised in the 1990s by bands like Seo Taiji and Boys and grew to become a key part of South Korean culture.
In the 2020s, K-Pop represents one of the fastest-growing music genres amongst young people and adults worldwide, with bands like BTS and Blackpink leading the revolution. It also forms part of the ‘Korean Wave’ as South Korean entertainment like movies, TV and music grows in popularity across the Western world.
