Mong Kok Pop (MK Pop)
MK Pop (an abbreviation for Mong Kok Pop) is a new Internet slang that has been frequently used in Hong Kong since 2014. The term describes a local music genre that imitates Korean and Japanese pop music. Inasmuch as MK pop singers have specific Mong Kok culture characteristics, including drawing black eyeliner, applying nail polish and putting on heavy makeup, people call them MK. Apart from their exaggerated appearances, their dance moves are said to be weird and new-fashioned. Due to wide media coverage and Internet forum discussions, a hot debate over the degree of social acceptance of Mk Pop is caused.
==Background==
In recent years, there has been a growing popularity in Korean pop culture. Korean boy bands and girl groups, such as Super Junior, Girls' Generation and Big Bang, are acclaimed as pretty and handsome singers with slick dance routines and catchy tunes. With the rise of world tour and social media, like YouTube and Twitter, K-pop has broken into Hong Kong market and captured the minds and hearts of Hongkongers.
Aside from that, the recession of Hong Kong music industry is one of the main reasons that Hong Kong people prefer worshipping pop music culture of foreign countries, rather than local music culture. Insofar as there were not many stimulations and new elements of Canto-pop in these few years, some fresh boy groups were introduced in the public eye in the early 2014. With the prevalence of K-pop, they try to imitate Korean pop singers' overstated makeup. In addition to their appearances, their music style and performance are also highly similar to that of Korean boy groups. Apparently, MK Pop has now become a special icon in Hong Kong music industry.
