    K-pop 

    (Korean: 케이팝; RR: keipap), short for Korean popular music,[1] is a form of popular


    music originating in South Korea as part of South Korean culture.[2] It includes styles and genres from
    around the world, such as pop, hip hop, R&B, experimental, rock, jazz, gospel, reggae, electronic
    dance, folk, country, disco, and classical on top of its traditional Korean music roots.[3] The term "K-
    pop" became popular in the 2000s, especially in the international context. The Korean term for
    domestic pop music is gayo (Korean: 가요; Hanja: 歌謠), which is still widely used within South
    Korea. [4][5] While "K-pop" can refer to all popular music or pop music from South Korea, it is
    colloquially often used in a narrower sense for any Korean music and artists associated with the
    entertainment and idol industry in the country, regardless of the genre.
