110 Cultural Post #8

The one Korean popular culture that everyone likes to talk about is its music. However, to me, even though k-pop is popular, it has several downsides. Most of the songs that are popular are hiphop, rap, and edm style, and the bands are young and stylish. I saw this Korean variety show once that critiqued this phenomenon, claiming that if you want to see if a song is a classic, come back in 10-20 years to see if it is still around. Though it is meant to be funny, it demonstrates a trend in Kpop that is skewed towards the age group of 10 to 30 year olds.

  • I agree with your point but I think this phenomenon is unavoidable because nowadays K-pop has already become a landmark of Korea. This directly lead to that a large amount of young people are dream of being idols. Therefore, unavoidably, people are more likely to appreciate younger idols. That's why the K-pop star are less able to be popular for a long time.
