The Crazy World of Korean Pop Music | Norient.Com 1 Oct 2021 18:01:00 The Crazy World of Korean Pop Music | norient.com 1 Oct 2021 18:01:00 The Crazy World of Korean Pop Music by Tatjana Rauls What does the western world know about korean pop music? Indeed, a lot of us might have learned about a south korean entertainer that goes by the name of PSY – a funny guy with his own magnificent dance moves that loves to wear tiny suits as much as he loves women. «Gangnam Style» Introduces Korean Pop to the World https://norient.com/blog/k-pop Page 1 of 4 The Crazy World of Korean Pop Music | norient.com 1 Oct 2021 18:01:00 The track «Gangnam Style» from PSY took the worldwide charts in 2012 and 2013 by storm meanwhile the North Korean government threatened to use nuclear weapons against the west. However, this music video has more than 1.9 Billion views on Youtube and is therefore the most seen music video ever. The whole world now knows how to do the «Gangnam Style» dance and jump around like riding a horse. PSY – Gangnam Style (Director: Cho Soo-Hyun) PSY's music and appearance left the impression that korean pop is somehow different than what a lot of people might have expected. Funnier, much more colorful and extremly high-budget. After the stunning success of his first video PSY tried to conquer the world once again by releasing his track «Gentlemen» on a recorded concert that spread through the social web. PSY – Gentlemen (Director: Cho Soo-Hyun) Record Labels and Their Bands Surely when talking about korean pop we are discussing pop music originated in South Korea that spread in diffenrent genres like dance, electro, electronic pop, hip hop and RnB as well as rock music. So let us start with a great song from a female hiphop icon CL that is well known in the south korean teenage community for her succusful girl group 2NE1 and her solo tracks. The solo track «Baddest Female» was released on YG Entertainment her music video reached more than 1 million views within 24 hours. (Director: Seo Hyun Seung) Video not available anymore. https://norient.com/blog/k-pop Page 2 of 4 The Crazy World of Korean Pop Music | norient.com 1 Oct 2021 18:01:00 The strongest record labels in South Korea are SM Entertainment, YG Entertainment, JYP Entertainment and Cube Entertainment. All of those entertainment companies do not only sign musicians and music entertainers but also actors. By watching those videos one will come to the conclusion that the korean music video producers spend a lot of money on their creations. Also koreans love to combine koreans dialects with english words and phrases. Big Bang – Fantastic Baby (YG Entertainment) SM Entertainment has a favor for setups of 5 - 13 band members that do both sing and dance. Rumors exist, that many artist of this entertainment company were beaten and restricted in their private life as well as put on a diet and forced to have a plastic surgery. However, their fame is huge in Korea. Girls Generation – «Gee» (SM Entertainment) (Obviously made for a very young target group.) SHINee – «RingDingDong» (SM Entertainment) Singing about something fantastic and elastic. Super Junior – «Sorry Sorry» (SM Entertainment) Once known as the biggest boyband worldwide. Indie Bands, Rock Music and Street Artists in Korea's Capital City https://norient.com/blog/k-pop Page 3 of 4 The Crazy World of Korean Pop Music | norient.com 1 Oct 2021 18:01:00 Besides the huge popularity of maintream electronic und dance songs still the Koreans love their hand made rock music. The songs offer a great variety of emotional lyrics and talent. One beautiful example ist the video of the band Busker Busker. The 3 guys bring their audience to tears with their authentic music. Besides, one of the band members comes from Ohio, USA. Busker Busker - «Love, at first» Seoul is not only Korea's capital city but also it is a melting point of the old and the new music cultures. At night times Seoul's young and creative citizens head over to a district called Hongdae to enjoy great live bands from Korea or other countries.

  • The K-Pop Wave: an Economic Analysis
    The K-pop Wave: An Economic Analysis Patrick A. Messerlin1 Wonkyu Shin2 (new revision October 6, 2013) ABSTRACT This paper first shows the key role of the Korean entertainment firms in the K-pop wave: they have found the right niche in which to operate— the ‘dance-intensive’ segment—and worked out a very innovative mix of old and new technologies for developing the Korean comparative advantages in this segment. Secondly, the paper focuses on the most significant features of the Korean market which have contributed to the K-pop success in the world: the relative smallness of this market, its high level of competition, its lower prices than in any other large developed country, and its innovative ways to cope with intellectual property rights issues. Thirdly, the paper discusses the many ways the K-pop wave could ensure its sustainability, in particular by developing and channeling the huge pool of skills and resources of the current K- pop stars to new entertainment and art activities. Last but not least, the paper addresses the key issue of the ‘Koreanness’ of the K-pop wave: does K-pop send some deep messages from and about Korea to the world? It argues that it does. Keywords: Entertainment; Comparative advantages; Services; Trade in services; Internet; Digital music; Technologies; Intellectual Property Rights; Culture; Koreanness.

  • On-Chart Success Dynamics of Popular Songs
    On-Chart Success Dynamics of Popular Songs Seungkyu Shin and Juyong Park Graduate School of Culture Technology and BK21 Plus Postgraduate Programme for Content Science, Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology, Daejeon, Republic of Korea 34141 In the modern era where highly-commodified cultural products compete heavily for mass consump- tion, finding the principles behind the complex process of how successful, “hit” products emerge remains a vital scientific goal that requires an interdisciplinary approach. Here we present a frame- work for tracing the cycle of prosperity-and-decline of a product to find insights into influential and potent factors that determine its success. As a rapid, high-throughput indicator of the preference of the public, popularity charts have emerged as a useful information source for finding the market performance patterns of products over time, which we call the on-chart life trajectories that show how the products enter the chart, fare inside it, and eventually exit from it. We propose quantitative parameters to characterise a life trajectory, and analyse a large-scale data set of nearly 7 000 songs from Gaon Chart, a major weekly Korean Pop (K-Pop) chart that cover a span of six years. We find that a significant role is played by non-musical extrinsic factors such as the established fan base of the artist and the might of production companies in the on-chart success of songs, strongly indicative of the commodified nature of modern cultural products. We also review a possible mathematical model of this phenomenon, and discuss several nontrivial yet intriguing trajectories that we call the “Late Bloomers” and the “Re-entrants” that appears to be strongly driven by serendipitous exposure on mass media and the changes of seasons.
