It's just "feel good"-music - nothing deep or meaningful! And also when I read comments of KPop-fans, the first thing most of them would comment on are the outfits/make-up/hairstyle of their favourites and not their singing! 
I personally don't have any problems with KPop, I'm just not interested in it, because it seems "fake" to me (the music and the idols!).
I also don't understand why KPop is so popular in Japan right now, because most Japanese songs are only remakes of Korean songs. They just translate Korean songs into Japanese, throw in a new PV and that's it! 
At least groups like Tohoshinki, Kara and Girls' Generation had and have the decency to produce "Japanese only"-songs. That's the reason why they will stay the only relevant KPop-groups in Japan - in my eyes (even when I'm only listening to Tohoshinki). |
Exactly! I agree with you.
Most people are first hooked with K-pop because of their looks and not on how they sing because based on my personal experiences, my co-workers (including myself) just drool over Super Junior just because they look so handsome and gorgeous! Well, I know this also happens in J-pop. I'm not saying that these K-pop artists have bad songs, it just that the songs are too generic and some time too similar to each other that I thought it's from the same artist.
