Characterized by its upbeat melodies, catchy hooks, and incorporation of diverse styles such as hip-hop, R&B, EDM, and rock, K-Pop has gained immense popularity both in South Korea and internationally.
K-Pop is also distinguished by its vibrant and highly produced performances, where artists often showcase intricate choreography, fashion, and visually appealing music videos.
