K-pop has evolved over the years, reflecting a dynamic cultural and musical landscape. K-pop, or Korean pop, is known for its choreography, beautiful idols, and cachy melodies. Over the years, the genre has become part of the global mainstream.
In the past, K-pop has thrived in South Korea and nearby East Asian countries but in recent years, its popularity has extended beyond the boundaries of South Korea and has become globally popular.
Due to the widening recognition of the genre globally, K-pop has evolved once more.
Recently, K-netizens have been analyzing the changes that are taking place in the K-pop genre and shared their two cents on this matter.
Korean netizens chimed in on theQoo and shared, "I think 2% of K-pop songs are in Korean now," "BLACKPINK songs are in English nowadays," "Most of the K-pop songs are in English with a small amount of Korean," "I feel like songs that contain a majority of English lyrics are not K-pop," "I don't like the English lyrics," "The songs are getting too short nowadays. I wish it was at least 3 minutes long," "Most of the song titles are in English too," "I wish they use less English," "I'm satisfied with the music but it would be better if the lyrics have fewer English words," "I agree with this post," and "All the songs are getting shorter to fit the trend of Reels, YouTube shorts videos, or TikTok videos."
