The word for “genre” in Korean is 장르 (jangneu). You may note that this is a Konglish word. In other words, the base of the word is just like the English word “genre.” However, the pronunciation and, thus, spelling has been modified to fit Korean standards.
Sometimes you can also use the word 종류 (jongnyu) when talking about music genres. Specifically, when using the word 종류 (jongnyu) you can express the kind of music you are talking about, regardless of the genre.
For example, even within rock or pop music genres, very different types of songs are being created. And just because you like the genre in general, there may be some kinds of songs you especially like, and others you don’t.

The word for “song” in Korean is 노래 (norae). This is, of course, an important word to know in relation to music. You can use it to describe Korean songs in various genres, from pop to hip-hop.
If you want to be specific about what country the song came from, just add the country in front of the word 노래 (norae). For example, a Korean song is 한국 노래 (hanguk norae), a Chinese song is 중국 노래 (jungguk norae), and so on.
Another word for song in Korean is 곡 (gok). More specifically, it means “a piece of music.” It can be used, for example, to put emphasis on the tune, melody, or composition behind a song or an instrumental piece of music, like a classical composition.
