Billboard??

K-Pop is slowly going worldwide along with the rapid spread in the song 'Gangnam Style' by Psy. However, he is not the first one to be on the Billboard charts as a Korean singer. The very first Korean singer to be on the Billboard is Kim Bum Soo, with the song named 'Hello, Goodbye, Hello', which is a translated version of the Korean song 'Haru'.
He first made it into the top 100 sales chart in 2001 as the first Korean singer to have his name on the Billboard charts.


Unfortunately, he couldn't make it into the Hot 100 charts. However, in 2009, a Korean singer named Boa has made it into the Billboard 200, hitting 127th place with her first single 'BoA'. A few months later, as you guys might know, the Wonder Girls has made it into the Billboard Hot 100 hitting 76th place with their single 'Nobody'.

I personally am not a fan of those idols singing the so called K-Pop with their dances on stage, but I do hope that more people can get into the world famous Billboard charts in the future!!
