Korean hip-hop, also known as K-hip-hop or K-rap, is a subgenre of the South Korean popular music.
It is widely considered to have originated in the late 1980s and early 1990s,[1][2] and has since become increasingly popular, both in South Korea and abroad.[3][4][5]
While South Korea's hip-hop culture includes various elements such as rap, graffiti, DJing, turntablism, and b-boying,[6][7] rapping makes up a significant part of the culture. The term "hip-hop" is largely recognized and understood as "rap" in Korea.[8]
