Jennifer 883 Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Well, we all know about the popularity and success of K-Pop over the last decade, but how about KHip-Hop? Do you think it'll gain as much recognition as K-Pop? With artists such as Primary and Zion.T, KHip-Hop has been getting a lot of followers and listeners. A few years ago, a KHip-Hop video would have only had maybe around 100-900K views on YouTube depending on how well it was charting (specifically on 1theK). Now, I see a bunch of artists, that weren't as popular a few years ago, getting more than a million views in their MVs. A few months ago, I was scrolling around Tumblr and I saw some kind of favorite genre list, and KHip-Hop was on the list (though was on the bottom in comparison to where K-Pop was) which I thought was pretty surprising. Even KH-H companies has been gaining fame. From Amoeba to Hi-Lite to Factory Boy, artists that barely had any views on their MVs are now at least acknowledged with fame. And do you think It G Ma been a factor as well considering it has been getting a lot of hype? Edit: khip-hop is primarily acknowledged by international fans and korean people, not outsiders. some ppl dont even think it exists as a genre; that was the point of the discussion ofc i know that khip-hop is popular; im talking about it being internationally acknowledged... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holke 2,349 Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 I think it is already as popular. Hip hop is a fad right now in South Korea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charmy 6,317 Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Probably not. Part of the reason Kpop is so popular globally is because of the whole idol system/image. Plus the target audience for pop music is larger than hiphop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waterbender 230 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I can see it being popular but not K-pop level of popular. Hip hop in itself is popular but also in its own niche. So I think it'd be the same thing with K-hip hop. And to be honest, to my understanding, a lot of the "hip hop culture" is it being a sub culture that appeals to a certain audience and not everybody, unlike pop. So sort of hipster-ey but not if that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
