1990s: Conception and industrialization
The debut of the group Seo Tai-ji & Boys in 1992 was a turning point for popular music in South Korea. Incorporating elements of popular musical genres in the United States such as rap rock and techno, the group had tremendous success in South Korea. Hip hop duos such as Deux also became popular in the early 1990s.

Lee Soo Man broke K-pop barriers in 1995 with the formation of SM Entertainment, South Korea’s largest entertainment agency. Soon to follow were DSP Entertainment, JYP Entertainment, and YG Entertainment, all of which began producing highly successful artists.
The first K-pop girl groups and boy bands began appearing in the mid to late 1990s. Groups such as as Fin.K.L, g.o.d., H.O.T., Sechs Kies, and S.E.S. were hugely successful throughout Asia. The 1990s also saw a surge in the popularity of hip hop and R&B music in South Korea, with artists such as Epik High, Drunken Tiger, MC Mong, TVXQ, and 1TYM launching successful careers.
2000s: Globalization
Today, apprenticeship is the universal strategy for nurturing girl groups, boy bands, and solo artists in the K-pop industry. To guarantee the high probability of success of new talent, talent agencies fully subsidize and oversee the professional lives and careers of trainees, often spending in excess of $400,000 to train and launch a new artist. Through this practice of apprenticeship, which often lasts two years or more, trainees hone their voices, learn professional choreography, sculpt and shape their bodies through exercise, and study multiple languages all while attending school.
K-pop is gradually gaining influence in foreign markets outside of Asia, most notably in the United States, Canada and Australia. In 2010, solo artist Taeyang and girl group 2NE1 began topping various music charts throughout the United States and Canada with the release of various albums and hit songs.
In 2009, the Wonder Girls became the first Korean singers to place on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart with their single, Nobody.
Kpop artists are increasingly working with talent outside of Korea in a push to further globalize the genre. In the United States, artists from Korea are touring with groups like the Jonas Brothers and collaborating with producers including Kanye West, Rodney Jerkins, and will.i.am.
Popularity
In China, Japan, and much of Southeast Asia, especially Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam, K-pop culture has become so popular that authorities and nationalists fear that it is leading to a xenocentric preference for Korean styles and ideas.
source:kpoponlinenews.wordpress.comThe biggest appeal of "K-pop," or popular Korean music, can be found in great songs, dancers and stage effects. Korean pop idols' fast tempo music mixed with Asian rhythms appeals greatly to many young teens in China, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong and other parts of Southeast Asia.

The true history of K-pop began in with the advent of the three-member group Seo Taiji and Boys in 1992. The group contributed significantly to breaking down various conventions of the local music scene and introducing various genres and styles from abroad. By the turn of the century, dance music became an essential part of K-pop, giving birth to many young pop idols.
Other singers moved into R&B, hip-hop and electronica, and even "trot" songs. Trot is originally a Korean style of triple or quintuple-time mix-music, popular with the older generations. It developed before and during the time when Japan occupied Korea. New style trot returned with a faster beat and tempo.

Some big names in the Korean pop music world now are TVXQ, Se7en, Lee Hyori, Shinhwa, Wonder Girls, Epik High, Super Junior, Big Bang, SS501, Girls' Generation. All of them are busy entertaining the fans with concerts, TV appearances, fan meetings and festivals both at home and abroad.
In China, the boy band H.O.T. was already making their presence known even before the popularity of Korean TV dramas and movies in the late-1990s. Also during the same period, the muscular male duo Clone was all the rage in Taiwan, selling 450,000 records that year, the second highest number for a foreign record after the soundtrack of the movie "Titanic".

On the other hand, Korean music already showed some success in Japan much earlier, with a handful of Korean musicians since the 1970s and 80s including Cho Yong-pil, Gye Eun-sook and Kim Yeon-ja belting out trot songs. Then came a different genre of music with Korean pop idol BoA, who saw her album selling in the millions in Japan. She won six consecutive number one albums on the Oricon Chart and also undertook coaching in English, Chinese and Japanese to continue her move to go global.

Park Jin-young, a multi-talented singer, songwriter, choreographer and now CEO of his own successful music production company JYP Entertainment, has produced over 27 hit singles and 19 number one albums in Asia. His company has not only given birth to many new Korean celebrities, but also produced music for many other Asian singers including F4, Jacky Cheung, and AI. With the successful launch of a branch office in the United States, Park has now also produced music for Will Smith, Mase and Cassie.

The singer Rain from JYP Entertainment has the best success story yet, as the Korean-born entertainer has gone to Hollywood. Rain, as Jung Ji-hoon has been called after being picked up by JYP Entertainment, has put out many hit songs and appeared in several hit dramas. In 2004 he won the MTV Asia Grand Slam and other awards that made his name known around Asia. On the other side of the world, he was invited to the American MTV Video Music Awards in Miami and MTV Latin Video Music Awards in Mexico in the same year.
In 2006 Rain appeared on "Time" magazine's website as one of the "100 Most Influential People Who Shape Our World" and also performed in New York's Madison Square Garden in February of the same year. In 2007 Rain made it to "People"'s list of the world's "Most Beautiful People." Lately, he is stepping up his acting career, appearing in the action film "Speed Racer" (2008) by the Wachowski Brothers and "Ninja Assassin" by Warner Bros.
Korean pop music, which has become increasingly popular throughout Asia over the last decade, is now mesmerizing European music fans. K-pop is winning worldwide popularity and its influence is spreading to the Indian subcontinent, the Americas, and the Middle East. The power of word of mouth and the ripple effect of online media like YouTube have been a major driving force for K-pop in the global market.
For K-pop fans overseas, flash mob demonstrations have become a common tactic for groups trying to bring K-pop concerts to their hometowns. The trend began with a May 1 flash mob in Paris to convince one of Korea’s leading entertainment agencies, SM Entertainment to add a second concert to their European tour schedule after the first concert sold out in only a few minutes. In response, SM brought in its K-pop talent for a second concert, which attracted more than 13,000 fans from across Europe. Following rallies held in Peru, Brazil and Mexico in June 2011, fans in Toronto, Los Angeles, New York and London organized flash mobs in July to demonstrate their support and passion

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.[1] In the 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 groups, such as Roo'ra, R.ef, Solid, DJ DOC, Turbo, Panic etc. set the trend for the present generation of K-pop groups and artists. Dance-oriented acts became dominant in the South Korean popular music scene of the early 90s including the legendary hip hop duo Deux. The mid-'90s marked the emergence of teen idol groups, creating a different trend in the music scenes. Groups such as H.O.T., Sechs Kies, Shinhwa, S.E.S., g.o.d. and Fin.K.L became extremely popular, having strong fanbases and high-selling albums (with some groups having a "million seller", an album selling over one million copies). Starting with the break-up of Sechs Kies in 2000, however, most of these groups have since disbanded. Although some artists have continued their successes in the following decade, new groups have since taken their places.
Currently, in the 2000s, pop groups are still very popular although there has been an emergence of South Korean R&B and Hip-Hop: artists such as MC Mong, 1TYM, Jinusean, and Epik High have proven successful. Underground artists such as Drunken Tiger, Tasha (Yoon Mi Rae) have also helped hip-Hop become mainstream. Recently, rock music has become noticed by the public, with acts such as the Yoon Do Hyun Band and Seo Taiji gaining national recognition. In addition, there are also popular techno/dance artists such as Lee Jung Hyun, Kim Hyun Jung, and Yoo Seung Jun, whom all had very long careers while remaining firmly entrenched in their genre of music. Just as well, ballads and R&B have remained popular, as singers such as Baek Ji Young and KCM, in addition to SG Wannabe, have continued their success for many years.
There are also many artists who have had international success as well. BoA has become the highest-selling international artist from South Korea, due to her strength in the J-pop market[citation needed]; this was in part due to Lee Soo Man's adaptation of the Blue Ocean Strategy.[citation needed] Since then, artists such as Rain and Se7en have also released albums outside of South Korea, becoming well-known throughout Eastern Asia. Rain has also had his international Rainy Day 2005 Tour, having tour dates at Madison Square Garden, the first South Korean star to do so. He has been featured two Hollywood films, Speed Racer and Ninja Assassin.[2]. He was also voted "Your #1 Influential Person in the World 2007" by a TIME Magazine online survey.[3]
Kim Bum Soo is the first South Korean artist to reach the U.S. Billboard chart and ranked as 51 on the Hot 100 chart in 2001.[citation needed] After that, solo female artist, mink and Korean-American group, S.Blush also reached the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play charts, where they ranked #1 in 2006[4][5] and #2 in 2007[6] respectively. Skull, a Korean reggae artist from YG Entertainment also ranked as #3 on the U.S. Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles Sales[7] and #14 Hot Singles Sales in 2007[8][9]. Se7en who is also from YG Entertainment[10], BoA from SM Entertainment and Rain from JYP Entertainment[11] are all currently concentrating on their U.S. debuts. Although Wonder Girls became first K-pop artist to have a song reach the Billboard Hot 100,[12] there has yet to be a prominent, successful K-pop artist in the American music industry
