This is the difference between New and Old K-Pop

Cr. Koreaboo

K-Pop has undeniably changed over the years, and the style of music that was once the norm has seemingly been replaced by a new and much fresher style.

As the years have gone on, the K-Pop industry has changed, and one of the biggest ways that K-Pop that has changed is in the style of music and the music videos. While the signature style that is typically found in K-Pop music videos and songs is still present, K-Pop has definitely transformed into a new and much more fresh style of music.

Here's a look at how some of K-Pop's biggest names exemplify the journey between the old style and the contemporary style of K-Pop:

~

SHINee

SHINee definitely had the signature K-Pop sound that everyone knows and loves.

  Their style, however, evolved with the rest of K-Pop and is now much more vibrant and poppy.

BIGBANG

BIGBANG has been around for so many years that they definitely are a perfect example of how K-Pop has changed.

  In just 5 years, BIGBANG's sound has changed so much.

Girls' Generation

Girls' Generation may still be the same girly group that they were when they debuted, but their sound has evolved and is much closer to western pop now.

TVXQ

TVXQ are undeniably a group that crafted the sound of K-Pop, so their sound will never get old no matter how many years have passed.

SEVENTEEN

SEVENTEEN's vibrant and youthful sound is proof that the times have changed.

~

NCT

NCT's sound is strangely eerie yet very cool.

~BTS

The internationally popular dancehall music genre was not very common in the K-Pop music industry; however, BTS have definitely made it very popular.

BLACKPINK

Girl groups used to have sweet and girly images, but BLACKPINK proves that girl groups can rock any concept and that includes a fierce one.

  In the end, it seems that K-Pop's signature sound has evolved from its roots in the sounds of 90s pop culture to embrace a wider array of influences that make it the K-Pop we all know and love today.
