^^And Koreas also being more open in general to the planet. Its one reason why KPOP's become so popular internationally. U dont get blocked from watching full videos on youtube, they make their fb posts in other languages besides Korean, they open up online shops on places that dont require tenso or other services to buy their stuff, if you purchase a physical copy of their cds it counts on their charts, most kpop is showing up on all worldwide iTunes stores at the same time, some artists are doing songs with US artists that actually get a full proper American release (ie. 2NE1 & CL/GD with Skrillex & Will.i.am) etc.
I admit that I'm not tremedously into KPOP, but I do think their methods are contributing to its popularity and reasons why their artists can do so much more on a Global Scale. Sadly Ayu doesnt have that to work with.
