My Name Is Violeta and Today I Will Talk About Kpop But, What Is Kpop?

Kpop refers to South Korean pop music that incorporates various genres like pop, hip hop, EDM, rock and R&B. The first major Kpop group was Seo Taiji & Boys in the early 1990s. Becoming a Kpop idol requires going through an audition process and years of intensive training by entertainment agencies in singing, dancing, language skills and more. Trainees may spend several years in training before debuting in a group, and their initial earnings go towards repaying training costs rather than personal income.
