We are all aware of the K-Pop invasion. Countries all over Asia are avid fans of K-Pop and it still seems to be on the rise.

 Because of its popularity,  K Pop has reached the UK and the United States already.

K-POP- As defined in Urban dictionary, K Pop is an enjoyable music genre from Korea. It is an abbreviation of Korean Popular Music.

Until now I am still wondering why does everybody listen to it? Why is it very popular?

These are the possible reasons on why I think K-POP is popular nowadays:



1. Lyrics are very catchy.
 K-POP is in Korean of course, but why does everybody like it? The lyrics are not in the universal language which is English, but the lyrics in K-Pop songs are repetitive. Even though one doesn't understand the lyrics of the song, once it gets stuck on your head, be prepared for a Last Song Syndrome. :)

2. The Choreography.
Everybody wants to learn how to dance, and these Korean artists dance it very well. They have good choreography in their music videos which make people watch them more, Their dance steps has a very big impact on their popularity because of this, most of K-Pop fans make a dance cover of their favorite K-Pop song which is seen all over YouTube.

3. The Music Video.
K-Pop has very creative music videos. They are simply out of this world. The videos are unique. The video makes it as interesting as the song. People are easily drawn in watching the music video because of its fun concept and colorful themes.

4. The Looks.
Admit it, K-Pop artists look good. They have a unique sense of fashion which everybody tries to imitate. They have different hairstyles and looks, but this is also a great factor for them to be famous. Yeah, they look weird but, they look good! They still look good even if thy use the most outrageous costumes!

5. The Themes in their music.
Well, love and heartbreak. Anything about relationships. These are also the themes of Korean music, making almost everybody relate to it even though lyrics are not really understood. With the help of a creative music video, it's just alright. Love and Heartbreak is already a popular theme among songs but this also helped K-Pop make its debut. It's a love song in a catchy way. There is not much drama.

I hope these reasons are enough for all of those curious people like me.
