[4] 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.
There were not many stimulations and new elements of Canto-pop [5] in the past few years, though there were some fresh boy groups were introduced in the public eye in the early 2014.
It is a dancing and singing boy group of Pan Asia Cultural Company, which debuted officially in March, 2014.
The group name "Bird of Paradise" is a florid, which means a kind, brave, courageous and pretty boy with dreams.
[12] As Wyman Wong, local lyricist, pointed out "Let alone their [MK Pop groups] unorthodox dance moves and melodies, their debuts introduce locals a new song genre",[13] the popularity of MK Pop can in turn encourage musicians to bring in more new genres to the society.
The rise of MK Pop groups is one of the business strategies to maximize local entertainment companies' profit.
Companies exploit 'Fast-food Culture' in Hong Kong, using unorthodox dance and music to create a fad(Ip, 2014).
[15] For some companies, the intention of setting MK Pop groups is to have short-term return, but not developing a new genre.
