My topic is Influential Korean Music and some of their artists. I chose this topic, because I love to listen to Korean Music. Korean music can be made with many different styles, just like American music. Some styles are music you can dance to, electronic pop, R&B, and hip-hop.
History of K-pop
Korean pop music, often referred to as K-pop, originated in South Korea. It first started in 1960 when Korean artists were exposed to western influences. As time went on, Korean artists created their own style of K-pop. As it was growing to be more popular, K-pop companies were founded. The very first K-pop company was founded by Lee Soo Man in 1989. It was named S.M. Entertainment and it grew to become the largest and most successful company. After S.M. was founded, many more companies were founded.
