I love K pop 2 00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:14,360 Speaker 1: because they are, by far, I would say, the coolest 3 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:16,080 Speaker 1: version of our generation. 4 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,920 Speaker 2: Bloomberg reporter so he Can has been covering Korean pop 5 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,079 Speaker 2: or K pop for nearly a decade as a journalist, 6 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:26,759 Speaker 2: but she's been a fan for much longer than that. 7 00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:27,440 Speaker 3: Yeah. 8 00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:31,280 Speaker 2: Literally, I grew up with K pop, so he vividly 9 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,440 Speaker 2: remembers her first K pop obsession. 10 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:38,000 Speaker 1: So it was nineteen ninety seven when a trio girl 11 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 1: band called Ses come out of Nowhere. I first discovered 12 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:47,479 Speaker 1: them from TV and three pretty young teenage girl grooves 13 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:51,200 Speaker 1: were singing and dancing on a song called I'm Your Girl. 14 00:00:58,120 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: The song was mixed them a little bit of a 15 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 1: pop and RMB produced by SM Entertainment, and it completely 16 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 1: blew my mind. So I bought cast tapes up there, 17 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,559 Speaker 1: albums and gathered some of my friends practice their dance 18 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 1: routines and performed at school events, and that became my 19 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 1: annual thing. 20 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:19,119 Speaker 2: Recently, so He started noticing something unusual in the K 21 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 2: pop songs getting released. A lot of their lyrics were 22 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 2: in English, not Korean. So she did what any Bloomberg 23 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 2: journalists would do. She and her colleagues started collecting data. 24 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 2: In this instance, they conducted a very fun sounding survey. 25 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 2: They analyzed every single K pop song released since nineteen 26 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:42,400 Speaker 2: ninety five that included hits like BTS's Butter. 27 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 1: Small Drag, but like Criminal and. 28 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 2: Black Pinks Killed This Love and I found out something 29 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 2: pretty surprising. 30 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 1: So almost half the K pop songs released this year 31 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: had the majority and lyrics, and this is the first 32 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 1: time in K pop's history like having a lot of 33 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 1: English the lyrics and English songs. 34 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 2: So he says that this push into English hasn't been 35 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 2: an accident. 36 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 1: And having more English lyrics is becoming a new norm 37 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 1: for Korean idol groups because their songs are actively drawing 38 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,119 Speaker 1: more audiences not only in the US, but in some 39 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: regions in Southeast Asia where a lot of K pop 40 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: content like dance challenges become viral on TikTok and YouTube, 41 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 1: and most of them are using English as a main tool. 42 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 2: But if you take out the Korean, you're left with 43 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:42,959 Speaker 2: a glaring question, what's K pop without the k Today 44 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 2: on the show, after years of meteoric growth, k pop 45 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,800 Speaker 2: is at a crossroads. Can the genre grow its international 46 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,919 Speaker 2: audience without losing the key components that made it a 47 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 2: global phenomenon in the first place. I'm Sarah Holder and 48 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 2: this is the big take from Bloomberg News so today, 49 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 2: So what does the K pop industry look like? Who 50 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 2: are the key main players that we need to know 51 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 2: before we understand this world? 52 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 1: So there are so called four big companies SM, High, YG, 53 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 1: and JYP. SM is known as the pioneer of k pop, 54 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: which was established three decades ago. High, the agency behind BTS, 55 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: is the youngest one, but the biggest in terms of 56 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:33,079 Speaker 1: the market value. And why just the management company behind 57 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: Black Pink and JYP is the agency behind Twice and 58 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 1: Straight Kids. 59 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 3: And what's the size of the K pop industry? 60 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: Like? 61 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 3: How much money does it make? 62 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 1: The size of the K pop industry is estimated to 63 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: be about like ten billion dollars according to Korea Creative 64 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 1: Content Agency, and the amount of the kpop export was 65 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: about one billion dollars last year. 66 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 2: Exporting K pop has been a pretty good business. Bloomberg 67 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 2: reporters spoke to fans in Los Angeles outside of a 68 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 2: concert for the K pop Fan Rise, who said they 69 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 2: spent thousands of dollars a year on merchandise, concert tickets, 70 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 2: and special events where they could meet members of their 71 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 2: favorite groups. 72 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: Probably a six thousand budget maybe if not more, depending 73 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 1: on how many concerts Ike goes here. 74 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 2: I mean just think about this trip, like the ticket 75 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 2: light and everything, maybe like. 76 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:29,840 Speaker 3: Five hundred maybe each just for like today, for me, 77 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 3: I would say maybe about two three thousands. 78 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: And this is not something like unusual for K pop 79 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: fans that we'll see a lot of like a K 80 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:45,839 Speaker 1: pop fans who are based in la or lets in America, 81 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 1: we're like friends or who want to travel more to 82 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,280 Speaker 1: follow their biggest artists. 83 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 3: What do fans say about why they love K pop 84 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 3: so much? 85 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 1: Well, I will say K pop is total package of 86 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 1: modern arts. It's not just about songs, their fashion, computer 87 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 1: graphic designs in their music videos and futuristic style and 88 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:15,679 Speaker 1: the sounds which all comes together. But what makes fans 89 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 1: feel more connected to their stars than K pop groups. 90 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: I think it's song's message and the K pop star's 91 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: attitude toward fans. K pop artists are trained how to 92 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 1: use social media and how not to disappoint fans who 93 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 1: believe in them, but. 94 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,160 Speaker 2: The global fan base for groups like Rise Bts and 95 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 2: Black Pink are in some ways the exception. 96 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 1: So he K pop's largest consumer country is still South Korea, 97 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:49,599 Speaker 1: and the fifty million population is shrinking and aging faster 98 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: than any places in the world. So the core consumer 99 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 1: group teens to early twenties will be downsizing for the 100 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 1: next decade. And an aging South repopulation isn't the only 101 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,359 Speaker 1: recent challenge for the industry. South Korea's decision to allow 102 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: a US missile defense system to be installed in the 103 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,160 Speaker 1: country has led to tensions with the Chinese government and 104 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: that's impacting Chinese fans that prompted some sort of like 105 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:20,280 Speaker 1: boycotts and ban other K pop bands in China. There 106 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:25,280 Speaker 1: was no official statement from China that they are going 107 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: to ban K pop industry. Like suddenly, K pop groups 108 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 1: and K pop companies couldn't arrange any events and concerts 109 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: in mainland China. 110 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 2: All of this might have been part of the reason 111 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 2: why sales of physical K pop albums to China have 112 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 2: plummeted this year. 113 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 1: There are a lot of like hypothetical thesis around that, 114 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,159 Speaker 1: but there is no like a certain or clear answer 115 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 1: for that. But first of all, like a Chinese consumers, 116 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 1: they would still want to buy K pop pop albums 117 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 1: for sure, butts there has been a rumor that Chinese 118 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:08,279 Speaker 1: wholesalers has stopped buying or stopped ordering work sales because 119 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: of some sort of like measures that Chinese government has made, and. 120 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 2: That's why today, despite the passionate fans and the billions 121 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 2: in revenue, K pop has arrived at this crossroads. 122 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: Obviously, in order to make a lot of money, K 123 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: pop needs to transform their business model to make a 124 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 1: sustainable growth for the next decade and reach out to 125 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 1: a wider fan base. So it's K pop's mission to 126 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 1: reach out to a bigger global market for a survival plan. 127 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 2: To do that, some of the industry's biggest players are 128 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 2: arguing for a radical transformation. 129 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 1: So High founder Pamschi Hawk is declaring it's time to 130 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: take the K out of K pop. 131 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 2: Coming up after the break, how K pop is reinventing 132 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 2: itself and why this is causing something of an identity 133 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 2: crisis for the industry. One way for K pop groups 134 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 2: to appeal to a more global audience is to release 135 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 2: songs with more English lyrics, which is something Bloomberg reporter 136 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 2: so He Kim and her colleagues have confirmed is already happening. 137 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 2: Another strategy is for existing big name K pop groups 138 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 2: to team up with some familiar names in the international 139 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 2: pop community. 140 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 1: For example, BTS. John Kook's latest album was produced by 141 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 1: Scooter Brown and executives and producers in La and Lisa 142 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 1: from Black Pink. She worked with Sony Entertainment's RCA. She 143 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:48,719 Speaker 1: released a new song called the rock Star gelsis a 144 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 1: non adash of rockstarm make your favorite single. She invited 145 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 1: a lot of like a Thai talent and creators and 146 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:02,200 Speaker 1: musicians to get involved in her So it's a multinational 147 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 1: collaboration that can be just call it as a Korean 148 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: pop But. 149 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 2: K pop companies are also launching new groups from scratch 150 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 2: using their tried and true formula for recruiting, molding, and 151 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 2: debuting talent. 152 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:22,319 Speaker 1: The core process hasn't changed, but there are more auditions worldwide, 153 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 1: language lessons during training period, and tons of digital marketing 154 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 1: to promote the groups globally. 155 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,839 Speaker 2: From the get go, getting these groups concert ready is 156 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 2: time consuming and expensive. 157 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: It typically costs about like three to five million to 158 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,679 Speaker 1: create an idol group, but there are some cases that 159 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,079 Speaker 1: the costs exceed ten million dollars these days. 160 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 2: So he got to meet one of Korea's most promising 161 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,479 Speaker 2: next generation K pop groups last month at SM Entertainment's 162 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 2: headquarters in Seoul. The band is called Rise. They're the 163 00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 2: ones those fans in la were lining up to see. 164 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 1: Is the latest idol group created by a SAM Entertainment. 165 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 1: Their music was based on the house music produced by 166 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 1: creatives based in US and Europe, and they also got 167 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 1: trained by Western hip hop choreographers for new songs, so 168 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 1: that resonates more with general audiences. But at the same time, 169 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 1: they kept the core value of K pops such as 170 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 1: empowering messages, emotional sounds, and phantom communications, so they look 171 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 1: very fresh but something very familiar to K pop fans. 172 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 2: Meanwhile, Hibe, the label behind BTS, is trying something even 173 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 2: more experimental with an all girl K pop group called 174 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 2: kats Eye. They released their first single called Debut on 175 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,959 Speaker 2: YouTube and on the group's website a little over three 176 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 2: weeks ago. 177 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:54,959 Speaker 1: I don't need know on two trin I'll set oh 178 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 1: just how to make a scene, just me mass. 179 00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 3: As you can hear. 180 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 2: Their lyrics are in English, but that's not the only 181 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 2: thing that's different about the group. 182 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 1: So among the members, there's just only one Korean member 183 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 1: and their main stage is not Soul or South Korea. 184 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 1: Their main stage is now US and Hollywood. 185 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 2: In La Katsi's debut video has already been viewed over 186 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:23,559 Speaker 2: three point seven million times. Even with those numbers, so 187 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 2: he says that doesn't necessarily mean the group is going 188 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 2: to take the world by storm. 189 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 1: It's early to say whether they will be successful, but 190 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,680 Speaker 1: definitely it's a very new thing for the K pop 191 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 1: industry because it's a total collaboration with the US record 192 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 1: label to create a idol. 193 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 2: Group but with only one Korean member, mostly English lyrics, 194 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,959 Speaker 2: and an American home base. I asked, so he what 195 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 2: makes Kat's Eye k pop at all? It's the question 196 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 2: that's at the heart of this new. 197 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 3: Era for K pop. 198 00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a billion pellar question. Denying we're abandoning k 199 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 1: or Koreans could be risky if the new groups failed 200 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 1: to appeal to both of K pop fans and general 201 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 1: music audiences. But if any new projects find a magical 202 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:20,559 Speaker 1: way to keep the value of K pop and make 203 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 1: a global appeal, I'm pretty sure they will revirite the 204 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 1: pop history. 205 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 3: For the fans. 206 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 2: Bloomberg spoke to outside of that Rise concert in La 207 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 2: the embrace of English lyrics and K pop got a mixed. 208 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 3: Review vibe It's giving me. It is kind of head 209 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 3: or miss. 210 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 1: I do somewhat like all the create K pop English songs. 211 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 1: I just don't heard it for anyone, just because that's 212 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 1: where they rooted, that's where the culture is, that's where 213 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 1: they should be. 214 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 3: I like to be honest, sing the words out. 215 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,079 Speaker 1: But it doesn't matter like what language is, as long 216 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: as it has like a message to the meaning. 217 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 2: I like, I don't know. 218 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 3: The music really think they're easier for me. 219 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 2: So he says it's too early to tell if K 220 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,679 Speaker 2: pop's new strategy will lead to the next BTS, but 221 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 2: the industry is setting its sites even higher. 222 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 1: Attempting like Coachella is not enough for them at all, 223 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 1: So they want to go stadiums for like the size 224 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 1: of Beyonce and Taylor Shift and Coldplay.
