選擇建功‧12‧尊榮一生
after 2021, it will be one of the most exciting places to visit. The reason for this is Korean
popular music, which everybody knows as K-pop - the South Korean government wants
Changdong to become the K-pop capital of the world.
South Korea knows that K-pop is very important. In 2015, South Korea made $5 billion
from selling K-pop music and related TV shows, films, games, and so on. Furthermore,
because of K-pop, other Korean products like Samsung smartphones, Korean-made cars, and
Korean-style clothes have become very popular.
K-pop is very global today. For a long time, it has been very popular in China, Japan,
Taiwan, and Hong Kong. However, Billboard magazine found a different trend between 2013
and 2016. During this time, the United States was the third biggest buyer of K-pop music.
Thus, it can be said that K-pop has a lot of fans in the West today.
To attract fans from around the world, there are big plans for Changdong. It will have
concert halls, music schools, recording studios, art galleries, and a K-pop museum. The place
that will be the most important venue, however, is the huge arena. About 20,000 fans will be
able to enjoy K-pop events there. Since it is a very big and important project, the arena,
which won’t be completed until 2021, is already being built. When everything is finished,
Changdong will be a very exciting place to visit. For K-pop fans, it will be the coolest place
on earth!
