Although Kpop is heavily influenced by Hip Hop and Street Dance, it is much easier than its parents dances because the fans' ability to mock or dance together in shows are also considered. It is in fact an intentional act to simplify the complicated moves. An interesting fact that one can divide from the Korean pop stars' dancing is that boys' Kpop style is clearly different from girls' Kpop style, even though they all use hip hop moves.
This unique Korean style has swept over the world, not only South Korea or Asia, but alo Latin America, North Africa, Middle East and Eastern Europe. We know that there are different styles in Street dance, we have popping, grooving, breaking, sacking, locking, waving. Boys tend to have more popping, grooving, breaking (now you are thinking of which are thinking of Se7en and Rain). Well but Kpop is more likely to be danced in teams, or bands, boys have more power moves while girls, like Girls' Generation, do more jazzy dance, and they have a lot of flipping hair, body rolling, and sexy winking.
