No country takes its fluffy pop music more seriously than South Korea. People call it Hallyu, the
Korean wave, the idea that South Korean pop culture has grown in prominence to become a major driver of global culture, seen in everything from Korean dramas on Netflix to Korean skincare regimens dominating the cosmetics industry to delicious Korean tacos on your favorite local menu. And at the heart of Hallyu is the ever-growing popularity of K-pop-short, of course, for Korean pop music. K-pop has become a truly global phenomenon thanks to its distinctive blend of addictive melodies, slick choreography, good production values, and an endless parade of attractive South Korean performers who spend years in grueling studio systems learning to sing and dance in synchronized perfection. Hallyu has been building for two decades, but K-pop in particular has become increasingly visible to global audiences in the past five to 10 years. There are three things that make K-pop such a visible and unique contributor to the realm of pop music, exceptionally high-quality performance (especially dancing), an extremely polished aesthetic, and an "in-house" method of studio production that churns out musical hits the way assembly lines churn out cars. South Korean artists have hit the Billboard Hot 100 chart at least eight times since the Wonder Girls first cracked it in 2009 with their crossover hit "Nobody" - released in four different languages, including English - and the export of K-pop has ballooned South Korea's music industry to an impressive $5 billion industry. During the Olympic opening ceremonies on February 9, 2018, athletes marched in the Parade of Nations to the accompaniment of a select group of K-pop hits, each playing into the image Korea wants to present right now, one of a country that's a fully integrated part of the global culture. Question 30. Which of the following best serves as the title for the article? A. How K-pop became a global phenomenon B. How K-pop songs were played in the 2018 Olympic C. The definition of Hallyu D. K-pop helps Korea join in global culture Question 31. The word "regimens" in paragraph I most probably means _______. A. procedures B. products C. cures D. routines Question 32.
