(Explained!) What is K Pop? Understanding the Global Phenomenon as an Artist and Fan

In this video, independent dance pop singer/songwriter JONATHAN MILLER answers the question, "What is K-Pop?" If you want kpop explained then this video is for you. In order to properly appreciate something you need to understand the history of kpop. All the way from the late 1800s to Seo Taiji and Boys to BoA, TVXQ, Girls' Generation, 2NE1, BLACKPINK, BTS, and Itzy! K-Pop is a genre and industry of music that drastically affected my development as an artist so this video on explaining why kpop is so popular and why kpop is so popular in the us hits really close to home. Trying to understand the currently 4 generations of kpop can be confusing to westerners but it's not that hard to figure out why kpop is so popular. Korean Pop groups train for years as trainees studying exhaustively music, dance, acting, camera work, foreign languages, and more so if you've ever wondered why kpop groups release music in japanese then this video will help. I'll also be sharing my personal experiences with kpop and how gen 2 affected me so deeply. I have nothing but respect for kpop idols and don't like it when western media refers to idols as robots because it's very disrespectful. I hope this video explaining kpop, it's history, and why it's so popular will help you understand it better!
