K-Pop is short for Korean Pop, a genre of music. This genre of music is currently growing rapidly and has even come over to the western mainstream media due to the rapid grow and popularity of groups and performers such as BTS and PSY.
Kpop artists are commonly called idols, and Kpop artists commonly debut in a group with other idols and may produce solo work. Solo debuts are not rare, but also not common. Fanbases of certain Kpop groups can be enormous, and insulting their idols will lead to anger and annoyance from the average fan and death threats from hardcore stans. Many fanbases have a name for members of the bases, just as ARMY for BTS fans, BLINK for Blackpink fans, EXO-L for EXO fans, 1GOT7 (ahgase) for GOT7 and Once for Twice fans. Your favourite member in a certain kpop group is called your bias.

Get the K-pop mug.A genre of music that is commonly referred to something that is either "gay" or "stupid" or something meant for only young teen girls or homosexuals. Though, it is simply a genre of music that sparked its popularity in 2015-2016 by the most well known group- BTS. It comes from Korea as a whole and not just South Korea. There has been many jokes about this type of music, usually putting it in a bad light which- for the most time is unneeded. K-Pop usually isn't even sometimes pop music, like The Rose or Day6. K-Pop fandoms come in many shapes and sizes, though, all of them have their own bad light and their good light. The most infamous things caused by fandoms are shipwars, scandals. K-Pop fans are normally sometimes called K-Pop stans, which relating to the name, Stan Loona is another infamous spike in the K-Pop fandom as a whole, everyone (almost) knows about it. Though, this has passed.
