9、of Korean dramas, movies, music, food, Variety shows around us, right? So that’s Korean Wave. In this essay I will have a brief discussion about how one of a part of Korean Wave, Korean Pop Music affect China and why.<

12、music can be divided into 4 periods. The first, in the 1920s to the beginning of 1990s, the period of preparation. The economic development in the 1980s enhanced the external communication of Korea with the outside world

13、 when Korean pop music began to absorb some features of Western music. The second, in 1992 to 1996, the period of a turn. In this period, Korean vulgar music began to merge with Western music materials. The presentative

17、 made it? It must be owing much to the music producing system. Generally speaking, the mature series of procedures for Korean artists to grow up from a naive kid to a superstar has made remarkable contribution to its suc

18、cess. </p><p>　　There are many entertainment firms in Korea intended especially for produce idols. These firms select some children as “trainees” from a young age. Early even as a pupil or a middle school st

19、udent at the age of 10 years old, the artist-to-be is registered to the entertainment firm. Generally, the training period will be 2-3 years, some even 7 years, before finally becoming a star. However, the competition is

20、 unbelievably stiff. At the age of 15, there will be a test to select trainees to become </p><p>　　Ⅳ Research and Analysis</p><p>　　As I am really a fan of Korean pop music, my feeling that Kore

21、an music is popular may be too subjective. So our group did a survey to see if Korean music is really that popular in China, especially among university students. I am also curious about what are they think of, Korean po

22、p music and the music industry in Korea.</p><p>　　Luckily, our questionnaire was well received and 80 pieces was returned back. The number of samples was big enough so the result is rather persuadable. </

23、p><p>　　I have enclosed a piece of the questionnaire and the results at the end of the essay for consulting.</p><p>　　There are 21 questions in the questionnaire about Korean music which can be sep

24、arated into 3 parts. The first part is related to people’s enthusiasm to Korean pop music. These questions include question 1,2,3,6,7,8,9,14,15,19,20,21. </p><p>　　According to the results, we can see 15% of

25、 the interviewees say they don’t have contact with Korean music, while the rest of them have listened, more or less. Seems that Korean music have really entered most people’s life. Among the people who claim they have li

26、sten to the music, 13.75% listen often, 7.5% like it, and 18.75% claim they like it very much. In terms of watching MVs and the number of songs they have listened, and if they tend to sing or hum the lyrics or rhythms of

27、 the songs, the r</p><p>　　Turn to the questions intended to see about the fans in China. Half of the interviewees claim to be a fan of a Korean artist or group. And most of them can like the idols sanely wh

28、ile approximately 1/4 is very much crazy about them.</p><p>　　Turning to the results of questions about buying albums and going to the concerts, we can see most people hardly buy albums to support their idol

29、s but 1/4 of them said they will certainly go to the concert of their favourite idols while the rest will consider the specific situation. </p><p>　　Before moving to the “favourite idols” part, let’s take a

30、look on some most popular artists and groups in Korea. According to statics of the number of members of authority fans organisations of Korean female idol groups up to February 5th, 2016【5】 and the World Album of Billboa

31、rd on March 2nd, 2016【6】, these two pictures are the most popular female and male artists or groups. The 5 most favourite female artists or groups are girl’s generation, iu, apink, girl’s day, and wonder girls. The 5 mos

32、t </p><p>　　Our last question is asking interviewees to express their love to their idols. 14 of them responded to the question, indicating that at least 17.5% of people are real fans of their favourite arti

33、sts and Korean pop music with great enthusiasm.</p><p>　　So why is Korean pop music so popular? The statics from question 3 and 4 can answer this question. The reason why people listen to Korean music is mos

34、tly considered that they like the rhythm. So we can see the rhythm of the Korean songs is really fascinating. Another two reasons which is also of great consensus is that they like the singer and that they can relax them

35、selves while listening. On the other hand, the reason how Korean Wave is transmitted can be found in the result of Question 4. The</p><p>　　Question 10, 11, 12, 13, 16, 17, 18 are engaged in the opinions peo

36、ple have on Korean pop music. Among them, question 12 is about people’s opinion about why Korean music is so popular. There are various reasons that are all well-acknowledged. The reasons are: The appearance is good; the

37、 rhythm can easily make people addicted; the dance accompanying with songs are great; the rhythm is lively and cheerful; the songs are carefully made so the quality is good, etc. We can also know about people’s vi</p&

38、gt;<p>　　The last part of the questionnaire is about people’s opinions on the pattern of star-raising and the group patterns in Korea. Most people don’t know very much about the entertainment companies in Korea. T

39、alking about the mature but cruel model to train artists, over half of the people think it is good as it is what makes the artists excellent. However, the rest of them think it too hard and inhuman for young kids.</p&

40、gt;<p>　　As for the group mode instead of solo mode, we also have found out people’s points of view. They mostly think these people both sing and dance and it is tiring. Also, many people think it makes idols real

41、ly handsome or pretty. Others think it a good way to make money. In terms of the number people appropriate for a group, almost half of the interviewees prefer 4-5 people, while approximately 1/4 prefer 2-3 prefer 2-3 and

42、 the rest 6-7. When asked whether this mode can also be suitable for China. </p><p>　?、?The Radical Reason of Its Popularity</p><p>　　We’ve have a general picture of the popularity of Korean pop

43、 music among Chinese people around us. However, the real reason why Korean music is so successful remains unclear. Yes, it may be because the near locations between the two countries and the advantage of the Internet, bu

44、t there is a radical reason. </p><p>　　I will refer to an expert on the influence Korean Wave has on teenagers, Zheng Xiaohong’s statement as my conclusion. </p><p>　　All the characteristics of

45、young people, restlessness, dream, rebellion and romance, surely decide their diversified and fashionable life goals. For hundreds of years, Hollywood, the former Soviet Union, North Korea, Vietnam and Indian movies beca
