KPOP opened a new dimension in the art of performing due to the higher intensity this genre put on the table. KPOP artists share the same recipe that makes this style unique. Aside from their eccentric looks on and off work, their craftsmanship in dancing and singing are well established, which is why there is no denying that KPOP lures many followers, within and outside Asia.
TVXQ – Since 2003, this boy band has been appreciated by audiences all over Asia. As a matter of fact, many consider them as the most successful act of their time especially when they reached their peak during late 2000s.
If a musician’s success is measured by their sales, TVXQ will definitely be part of the most famous bands as they were able to generate an estimate of 10 million records sold within a decade of their career. Originally composed of five members, the boy band became a duo with U-Know Yunho and Max Changmin remaining from the original group.
BigBang – This five-piece group started in 2006. However, their early career didn’t define them as the golden boys of KPOP. It took them several tries before establishing a name and gathering loyal fans that eventually grew in numbers when their album ‘Always’ was released. Their success continued until they bagged the much coveted Artist of the Year award in the 2008 Mnet Korean Music festival.
Due to their success, the group risked connecting to a wider audience as they tried their luck in Japan. Their efforts paid off, not only in record sales but with the recognition they received as well. The band won three recognitions in the MTV Video Music Awards Japan and claimed Best Worldwide Act in the 2011 MTV Europe Music Awards.
Infinite – Aside from their music, the band attracted interest due to their impressive dance moves. The artistry and expertise in routines shown when they perform made this talented band one of the most well-known acts in KPOP. Songs like ‘Come Back’ and ‘She’s Back’ led to the success of this group comprised of Sungkyu, DongWoo, Woohyun, Hoya, Sungyeol, L and Sungjong.
The band’s popularity was shown in the ticket sales of their concert back in 2012, wherein all tickets were sold-out in after ten minutes. Their world tour that began in 2013 received equal success as they had 20 performances in some parts of Asia, North America, Europe and Dubai. Aside from music, members of the band ventured onto other performing arts as some of them had acting stints on movies and TV shows.
Super Junior – Formed in 2005, this thirteen-piece group gained international fame due to their hit ‘Sorry Sorry’. The success of one of the biggest groups in the history of KPOP was evident as they were able to attract international audiences outside Asia. As a matter of fact, the huge number of their fans was formally declared when they won Best Fandom Award in the 2015 Teen Choice Awards.
The members come from different backgrounds, but are all experienced when it comes to facing people as they group is made up of models, actors and hosts. Other hit songs include ‘Miracle’, ‘U’ and ‘The One I Love’.
