Golden Globe Awards 2020

Imagine it’s 2012. You are listening to random songs and encounter one named ‘Gangnam Style’ by someone called PSY. You play it, laugh at the weird-sounding lyrics and move on to the next song. But wait, you come across it again and again and bam! A few days later, you are singing – uttering gibberish, that is – and dancing to it. That’s what K-pop does to you!

South Korean pop music has always been around since the late 90s; however, it has lately gathering precedence – something that the world didn’t expect to happen. The Western-dominated pop scenario is now changing, as people are now discovering the talent that South Korea is unleashing. There are many reasons why these idols are popular, some of which include going under rigorous training to make themselves, simply put, amazing and, more importantly, forging a comfortable and interactive relationship with their fans. The latter point has been one of the key factors in gaining a massive fanbase, not just in their country, but across the world.

Golden Globe Awards 2020 While most people already know – or at least have heard about – the most popular boy band in the world, there are some amazing idols and groups that are worth mentioning, as they have helped the K-pop industry reach a prominent place in global music.

This name has become a household name – those who don’t know anything about K-pop at least know BTS. Bangtan Sonyeondan is the ‘Bulletproof Boy Scouts’ who debuted in 2013 under Big Hit Entertainment. The septet consists of three rappers, RM, Suga and J-Hope and four vocalists, Jin, Jimin, Taehyung and Jungkook. They started as a hip-hop group but has also been experimenting with other genres over time. The songs – most of which are co-written and co-produced by the members themselves – often speak of themes of mental health, adulthood, individualism and self-love. These tunes are supported by music videos consisting of an appealing alternative universe storyline.

The accolades they have received till date are simply astounding, with important ones being the first Korean group to receive RIAA certification; getting a Grammy-nomination for their single; fastest back-to-back US number-one singles after Michael Jackson; addressing the United Nations 73rd and 75thGeneral Assemblies; as well as being appointed as Special Presidential Envoy for Future Generations and Culture. Their fandom, ARMY, are always vocal about how proud they feel of BTS – now we know why!

This list wouldn’t be complete without mentioning Blackpink, whose songs’ intro Blackpink in your area is enough to drive people crazy! This South Korean girl group – formed by the label YG Entertainment – debuted in 2016 and has gained immense popularity, despite the short span of working in the industry. The group consists of four members, Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa – and their fans are called Blinks.

Formed in 2012, EXO has been climbing that success ladder slowly but steadily. This South Korean-Chinese group debuted under SM Entertainment and is made of nine members – Xiumin, Suho, Lay, Baekhyun, Chen, Chanyeol, D.O., Kai and Sehun.

The band has been hailed as ‘Biggest Boyband in the world’ by the media, the image being elevated by their four no. 1 songs on Billboard’s World Albums chart.
