K-Pop erkek idol gruplarındaki müzikal değişimlerin karşılaştırmalı analizi

Abstract

K-pop, küresel olarak Kore kültürünün popüler bir temsili haline geldi. Bu çalışma, 3. nesil K-Pop'un neden popüler bir pop müzik türü haline geldiğini anlamak için Kore'deki K-Pop erkek idol gruplarının şarkılarındaki vokal kısımlarını analiz etti. 2020'de dünya çapında ilgi gören bir K-Pop erkek idol grubu olan BTS'nin şarkılarının müzikal bileşenlerinin (yani şarkı söyleme, rap ve rap şarkı söyleme) çalma sürelerini ölçtüğümüz derinlemesine bir analiz gerçekleştirdik. BTS'in en son başlık parçalarının çok daha az rap ve daha çok şarkıya sahip olduğunu buldu, bu da müzik türünde bir değişiklik olduğunu gösteriyor. Şarkı söylemedeki artış, halkla iletişime önem verilen bir kültürel değişimi temsil ediyor olabilir. Bu nedenle, 4. nesil K-Pop sanatçıları şarkı sözlerinin özgünlüğüne ve anlamına odaklanırsa ve anlamsız koroları tekrar etmekten kaçınırsa, K-Pop'un küresel alaka düzeyini daha da genişletmek mümkün olabilir.

A comparative analysis of musical changes in K-Pop male idol groups

Abstract

K-pop has become a popular representation of Korean culture globally. This study analysed vocal parts in songs by K-Pop male idol groups in Korea to understand why the 3rd generation of K-Pop has become a mainstream type of pop music. We conducted an in-depth analysis in which we measured the playback times of the musical components of songs (i.e., singing, rap, and rap-singing) by BTS, a K-Pop male idol group that received worldwide attention in 2020. We found that BTS’s latest title tracks have much less rapping and more singing, indicating a change in the musical genre. The increase in singing may represent a cultural change in which importance has been placed on communication with the public. Thus, if the 4th generation of K-Pop artists focuses on the authenticity and meaning of lyrics and avoids repeating meaningless choruses, it may be possible to further expand K-Pop's global relevance.
