Welcome to the seventh episode of Pass the K-popcorn, where the Seoulbeats team get together to discuss their thoughts on K-entertainment and share their personal experiences.
Many will agree that dance is the face of K-pop. However, even this aspect of Korean pop culture has morphed over the years. The choreographies of the 2000s and 2010s are worlds apart, and even in 2022, K-pop dance has taken on a new flavor. Join us as we discuss the evolution of dance through the years following shifts in music trends and the rising appeal of female girl group choreographies.
