Be it BTS or BLACKPINK, K-Pop surely is on its way to becoming a phenomenon in itself. Let\u2019s understand the time where the world gravitated towards K-Pop or their music. We surely love \u201cDynamite\u201d as well as \u201cLovesick Girls\u201d, but are these the first K-Pop songs that we heard and loved? The answer is certainly no. We do have our favorite set of K-Pop songs and music videos but recollect the time when we observed and started taking an interest in the K-Pop industry. The answer is \u201cGangnam Style\u201d by PSY, which changed the way people looked at K-Pop.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We all remember the time we heard the song, and it surely struck us how music can blur boundaries and can make us fall in love with it. The Gangnam style became viral overnight, and it was being played everywhere. Be it the catchy music, the quirky lyrics, or the incredible dance, it all became the town of the town. PSY outdid himself and ended up creating a masterpiece. K-Pop started getting a lot of attention that it deserved after this song became an instant hit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PSY\u2019s song surely bought a lot of attention to Korean music as well as Korean culture. This song left an impression and ensured international success. PSY was just an introduction to us, as it brought us to a piece of different music that we weren\u2019t used to listening to. Be it the funky hair colors, the adorable fashion, or the \u201cKorean skincare routine\u201d (that has become popular nowadays), we got to know about this thanks to PSY.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>K-Pop paved their way to experiencing the international success that they deserved. Of course, a lot of K-Pop idols put their hard work into being recognized, but PSY became a medium through which people got fascinated by this music. Every artist works hard, but not everyone gets enough credit or success. But, because PSY became an overnight sensation, it drew people in and encouraged people globally to check out K-Pop.<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are all aware of how K-Pop is growing on people, and how people have started paying attention to their music.
