... that K-pop began on April 11, 1992 with Seo Taiji and Boys's performance of the song "I Know"? Source: https://www.vox.com/culture/2018/2/16/16915672/what-is-kpop-history-explained

I don't understand Korean but based on the Vox source alone, this appears to be an overextrapolation--can we really take it to mean that "K-pop began on April 11, 1992"? Is "I Know" definitively and officially the first recorded K-pop song? Kingoflettuce (talk) 15:33, 18 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- @Kingoflettuce: Now that I look at it again, that Vox source wasn't the best for this case, but other sources more explicitly states this: "The birth of modern K-pop is largely attributed to their first televised performance of “난 알아요 (I Know)" ... on MBC's weekend music show on April 11, 1992" and "Most critics tend to agree that K-pop's origin story begins on April 11, 1992, when the trio Seo Taiji and Boys performed its soon-to-become a hit "Nan Arayo (I Know)". ɴᴋᴏɴ21 ❯❯❯ talk 18:20, 18 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The article is new & long enough, properly referenced (AGF on the Korean sources), hook is both cited and interesting. QPQ not needed Kingoflettuce (talk) 21:02, 19 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
