    The document discusses whether Korean pop (Kpop) is killing original Filipino music (OPM). It argues that Kpop and OPM each have their own uniqueness and Filipinos enjoy both for different reasons. Kpop songs are often upbeat with catchy melodies, while OPM songs tend to be more emotional and mellow. Filipinos can also better relate to the lyrics of OPM since they are made from the heart of Filipino artists. While Kpop is popular, OPM still has widespread popularity in the Philippines and abroad on platforms like Spotify. Both music genres will continue to evolve and coexist as Filipinos adapt to trends but remain proud of OPM's unique representation

    Korean Wave is an influential global phenomenon, impacting contemporary


    culture. Has Korean Pop (KPOP) been slowly killing the Original Pinoy Music
    (OPM)? Take a stand and defend your answer.

    Many of the people today likes different types of music. In this generation,
    KPOP already invaded the Philippines. Korean pop or Kpop is a mainstream music
    that originated from South Korea and it is known as part of its culture. On the other
    hand, OPM refers to Philippine pop songs, it is more on ballads that were popular. I
    take the stand that Korean pop or KPOP is not killing original Pinoy music. There are
    still reasons why even up to this generation OPM is still alive and lots would still
    choose it to listen.

    I can say that Korean pop or Kpop is not killing the original Pinoy music or
    OPM in the sense that both music has its own uniqueness. We, Filipinos, love Kpop
    and OPM in different ways. As we can see the OPM songs is more to be emotional
    and more mellow which people would love to listen when they are on emotional
    states. While Kpop songs are more likely to be upbeat with those catchy melodies
    and lyrics.

    In Kpop, it has the entertainment such as performance on stage. We always


    see them dancing and singing. The difference between the two music would always
    bring impact. Filipinos still love Opm because they can relate especially to the lyrics
    because it is made from the heart and we can easily understand the meanings on
    the songs. We might listen to KPOP but still wouldn't forget how unique the OPM
    are.
    Another thing is that original pinoy music or OPM portray good waves both
    here in the Philippines and other countries. According to rappler.com, OPM content
    has garnered close to ten billion streams on Spotify so we can really see that the
    widespread popularity of OPM within and other parts of the country really featured. It
    also showcases its unique culture on the most important voices in the Filipino music
    industry.

    While we are revolving and upgrading in music because there are a lot of
    composers, the originality of the pinoy music would crave in our hearts. In these
    generation, people have noticed the popularity of Kpop and it will be around for a
    long time. I would always say that it's not bad idea to adapt to these trends but we
    can't also deny the fact that OPM is also bringing its own uniqueness. We Filipinos
    should be proud and we should never look down on what represents us.
