I love K-Pop, but what really bothers me most of the time is that these groups are thrown out in Japan and they don't even know the language at all, and when they sing it, they make it sound like a different language all together (see the Japanese version of 2NE1's I Am The Best).
Japan does have the 2nd biggest market for music in the world right? And South Korea is somewhere between 12 and 15. Most of these companies shipping their artists off to Japan make more money by releasing a single in Japan then they do releasing 30040 albums and mini-albums in Korea. It basically seems like they're in it for a quick buck, in my opinion.

lol I have to agree with this as far as 2NE1 goes because (and I may be wrong but) listening to their Japanese, you can tell they had no training in the language. And it just kind of goes to show that they were just sent to Japan for a quick buck since they didn't even invest in teaching them Japanese. >_>
