K-Pop has been around for a while but has recently gained more popularity here in the U.S. The genre came to popularity within Korea around the late 1980s to the 1990s. K-Pop gained more recognition once it started to incorporate American rap and pop styles. The largest turning point for K-Pop was the growth of Gangnam Style in the United States.
Today, there are many popular K-Pop bands such as Exo, Big Bang, Seventeen, and 2NE1. These bands combine large aspects of American pop songs.
