With the growing popularity of K-pop worldwide, the world's most comprehensive single-language print dictionary, Oxford, has officially added the term "K-Pop" to it's dictionary.

Oxford defines K-pop as:

noun
[mass noun]
Korean pop music:
the band has a style that mixes European music and K-pop
[as modifier]:
K-pop fans


This gives further credence to the rapid globalization of K-pop.
