Claim: Hongkongers now prefer foreign music like Korean pop, known for slick dance moves and catchy music, instead of local music.
Evidence: The recession of Hong Kong music industry is one of the main reasons that the Hong Kong people prefer pop music culture of foreign countries, rather than local music culture. 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. K-pop (short for Korean pop; Korean: 케이팝) is a genre of popular music originating in South Korea.
