KPop World: Coronavirus "Lockdown" Takes Heavy Toll on KPop

The Coronavirus pandemic has shaking various businesses in the world. Including the KPop World of South Korean music entertainment industry. This global disaster has had a significant impact on the continuation of the music entertainment business.

Because of the cancellation and postpones of events, the agencies must brace themselves for a significant loss in the first quarter of the year. It is not the first time for entertainment businesses in South Korea to lose great money and profit.

In 2016, China put Kpop on a blacklist as an economic retaliation to South Korea for permitting US missile defense system THAAD establishment in Seoul. Therefore, to recover the market and profit loss, the South Korean music industry should spread its wings to other countries replacing the Chinese market.
