In general, not smart for this magazine to publish such an article.

uh it's not a magazine but rather , it's my country's English newspaper which's not helping matters

it's basically really silly . I don't listen to kpop as I have no interest in it but it doesn't mean I will take any chances to bash kpop in order to make jpop look better which's not right in any single way

I personally think the journalists in ST are running outta ideas when comes to writing in the Entertainment section of ST . You can write so many things but why they keep going back to the same old story of kpop vs jpop , which's better & why ?

cos at the end of the day , it's so subjective :x
