About oKay Kpop
The oKay Kpop dance team was founded in 2019 by a small group of Oxford University students looking for friends to join them for a K-Pop dance cover. Since then, the team has multiplied in size, performed across Oxford and the country, and won awards at national dance competitions. Today, oKay organises K-Pop dance classes for the general public, films frequent K-Pop dance covers with its members, and is a frequent guest at local and national events and competitions.
About K-Pop
K-pop, short for Korean pop, is a genre of popular music that originated in South Korea in the early 1990s. The history of K-pop can be traced back to the early 20th century when the first Western-style music was introduced to Korea. It wasn’t until the late 1980s and early 1990s that K-pop began to take shape as a distinct genre with the emergence of influential boy and girl groups such as Seo Taiji and Boys, H.O.T, and S.E.S. K-pop has continued to evolve and gain global popularity, characterised by its catchy beats, complex choreography, and high production values. Today, K-pop is a major cultural export of South Korea, with a dedicated fan base around the world and a value of over US$5 billion.
