K-Pop stands for Korean Pop …
K-Pop is an industry, and the proof that marketing is an important part of the success.
There even exist “K-Pop schools” were the best students are selected to take part and to join new projects who are invented by the record companies.
Most of the K-Pop artists are young people, teens and people in their early twenties.
Their video views do make international artists jealous.
Several of them reach into the first 24 hours of their release at YouTube 35 Million views.
An average of 300 Million views, and once in a while 1 Billion views looks piece of cake.
