kpop1-1, Exercise 1: The senses of "K-pop" Model answer: Broad sense: "Korean popular music" from South Korea. The article says the term has been applied retroactively in academic circles to Korean popular music back to the 1930s. Everyday sense: the output of teen idol acts, chiefly girl groups and boy bands, who emphasise visual appeal and performance. Sense inside Korea: domestic pop music is called gayo (가요), still widely used there. The Korean Music Awards added a separate K-pop field in 2022, defined as dance-pop from the idol system with a focus on performance. Example: "K-pop began in the 1990s" is true for the genre that emerged as a youth subculture, but false in the broad academic sense, which reaches back to the 1930s. (Any similar example is fine, provided it names which sense changes the answer.) Source: Wikipedia, K-pop.
