World K-Pop Highlight: K-Pop Bridges the Space Between Japan and Korea

It has not been a secret that the two neighbouring countries, Japan and Korea have always had tensions due to territorial disputes. This has been going on for years, however, K-Pop has bridged the two countries.

As years go by, K-Pop stars have debuted in Japan, and the reception of the crowd as been overwhelming.

It was just recently when Mnet's popular music show, "M! Countdown" had toured outside Korea and landed in the neighbouring country in the city of Yokohama.

The event has brought almost 10,000 attendees, all excited and eager to see their favourite stars. Stars included in the line up are 2PM, Girl's Day, Supernova, and Crayon Pop. Among the fans that attended were not only Japanese teenagers but also some middle-aged men, who may like to see the girl groups' performance.

This event has held relations between the two countries in years of dispute and this may bring two culturally together.

The executive producer of CJ E&M's music channel, Shin Hyung Kwan stated, "Since we are a cultural industry company, we believe we can do something small that government won't and can't do."

Truly, K-Pop has been dominating the whole world and what's more surprising is that, it can also be the key for the indifferences of two countries two finally understand each other. Music knows no language and it is good to know that K-Pop, a genre in music, can join two clashing countries to finally meet halfway.
