El termino K-pop surge por el movimiento de la cultura joven y (K) de Korean (Coreano en ingles); en resumen es la abreviatura de Korean Pop o Pop Coreano. Es un género de música que tuvo sus orígenes especialmente en Corea del Sur ya que prácticamente no hay una industria de música popular en Corea del Norte. Ya que Corea del Norte tiene un estricto régimen de gobierno comunista, por lo que las relaciones con Corea del Sur son muy pocas, así que cuando se habla de cantantes coreanos se da como sobrentendido que se habla de Corea del Sur.

Singin' to the Sky
Looking up at the sky, watching the clouds.
Where are the coulds of skies of days gone by?
the cherry blossoms of youth never fall.
I tried to get hold of my dream with these two small hands of mine.
The voices of my friends, far away and distant,
resound constantly in my heart.
we talked all through the night til morning.
of the promised city we were dreaming of.
afraid of nothing, everything we saw seemed full of hope,
lost our way, laughed together,
we kept searching for the light before us.
The voices of my friends, far away and distant,
resound constantly in my heart.
in those days we stood there without a word,
gazing this way,
the dreams from those days still hold me down,
nothing has changed, things just go on.
my dear ones, our voices sang to the sky
and still now haven't stopped echoing
in those days we stood there without a word,
gazing this way,
glaring at me without a word,
as if looking at something far in the distance,
staring right through me.
those days we spent together,
are still the same unchanged since then.
I'll leave my big footprints on the path to tomorrow.
in those days we stood there without a word,
gazing this way,
the dreams from those days still hold me down,
nothing has changed, things just go on.
it's not something you can see, nor say
let the cry in my heart reach! let my feelings reach.
