Maybe you’ve been hearing about K-pop everywhere recently and thought it’s finally time to give in. You’ve come to the correct place. If you’re unfamiliar with the term, K-pop stands for Korean Pop, and sure, it’s popular all around the world. This music genre includes a wide range of genres, including pop, rap, R&B, EDM, rock, and others.
STAYC
STAYC has opted to embrace the concepts of prior eras while concocting a new vibrant sound for people searching for a fresh twist on the classic K-pop experience. From the production-heavy bubblegum design of their smash “ASAP” to the dark-horse R&B-tinged influence of their fairly rich single “Complex,” these women have shown that they have what it takes to change the glittering side of the business but aren’t entirely devoted to remaining in one lane.
GOT7
These men have had an extraordinarily insane few years, but it’s their relationship that makes them so charming. They have funny brotherly energy in each given interview, and after a YouTube binge, you almost feel like a member of the band.
BTS
Can we truly talk about K-pop without mentioning BTS? No way. BTS is perhaps *the* most popular K-pop group in the world, and for good reason. Their accomplishments include becoming the first artists in iTunes history to have eight songs chart at number one in 100 countries, breaking the record for most viewers for a YouTube debut, and completely demolishing a U.S. stadium tour.
BLACKPINK
It will be difficult to let go of Jennie Kim, Lisa, Jisoo, and Rosé once they have entered your life. BLACKPINK is one of this generation’s most successful K-pop artists, and their songs all become hits—we defy you to listen to any song and not have it stuck in your mind for days. They’ve made history on music charts with their dynamic and daring tunes, as well as fantastic choreography that you’ll want to master.
TWICE
Get to know K-pop’s sweethearts right here. TWICE’s catchy melodies and eclectic blend of influences make them one of the most appealing South Korean groups to witness. The nine bubblegum-style queens were destined for greatness from the moment they debuted in 2015. Since then, it’s been hit after hit!
