Ever since the rise of Psy and his hit single "Gangnam Style" in 2012, the whole world seems to be paying a lot more attention to the South Korean music industry and the catchy beats and eclectic stars it produces.

In the United States, National Public Radio (NPR) program Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! is the latest media outlet to jump on the bandwagon, and they went about it in an entirely different way.

On February 8, the popular radio program interviewed American music historian Peter Guralnick and quizzed him about a subject in which he, and many of the show's listeners, knew very little about - K-Pop.

In a game segment called 'Heyyyyy, Sexy Ladies!' (a reference, of course, to Psy's well-known hit) host Peter Sagal asked the academic three questions about Korean pop music.

"You know, Peter Guralnick, you're probably the foremost authority on American popular music," prefaced Sagal, "We're going to talk to you, though, about K-pop, the slickly produced videos and songs from Korea that are taking the world by storm."

The first question was about the rigorous training process many Korean stars undergo before debut - specifically the strict rules the young aspiring singers must abide by. The next question hit upon the incredible popularity of K-Pop stars and the intensity of their fandoms.

For the final question, Sagal hits on the elaborate choreography many groups display and suggested listeners visit nine-member girl group Girls' Generation on YouTube for examples.

In the end, and understandably so, Guralnick was only able to answer one of the three questions correctly. Listen to the segment below and see how your knowledge measures up!
