'Gangnam Style' and K-Pop Taking Over The World

Psy's "Gangnam Style" has become famous around the world for its unique horse dance and classy dressed rapper.

The video is crazy and fun and here are three reasons why Kpop is taking over the world:

1)  South Korea is very good at producing, and since it is a small country they have taken young singers and molded them into pop stars.

2)  South Korean labels changed the way music was released. Usually when new songs debuted, they would debut on television, not the radio. The moment Koreans started listening to K-Pop, they were listening through their televisions. They were watching their music.

3)  South Korea is one of the most high tech countries in the world. So most record companies had to be efficient on YouTube. They have become so great at using YouTube as a tool that their videos get lots of views. That's how they figure out where to have their tours.

Even before "Gangnam Style" became a sensation overseas there have already been fans of K-Pop and that doesn't look like it's going to change anytime soon.
