It sure did. Same with Japanese music:

Shame how it's turned out for both countries.

Korea’s is definitely more noticeable.

It only took less than 10 years and that’s what makes me sick.

@Bear - Sure, sure. But, like Yuyo said, I just think there's a starker contrast between eras in Korean music history. There's at least a wide range of artists in Japanese music even today, but in the Korean music industry you don't see any psychedelic rock or metal bands or experimental musicians in the mainstream. And anything in the "indie" scene is still saturated with pop and hip-hop focused musicians, which is fine, but there's no room for diversity.
