J-POP vs. K-POP

[sanzo2011]

I hate K-pop .

[tanachu]

I don't like to generalize, and say I like a lot of both. I do agree that DBSK'S Korean image is better, as is BoA's, because Japan perpetrates a more "pure" image idk. However, what bugs me about most k-pop that I have listened to is that it's pretty big on copying Western pop; the biggest I've seen out of J-pop, K-pop, and C-pop, so originality-wise I'm going to give my hats off to j-pop. There's just so much more. Plus, more of my favorite artists are Japanese (except for DBSK) and at least they can sing. Most of the "it" k-pop acts can't. (Wow, I generalized!) Haha. Boyband-wise I find Korea more appealing.

And also

Female Japanese artists >>>> Female Korean artists
Male Korean artists >>>> Male Japanese artists

for me.

But then again, I guess I shouldn't generalize, since I haven't heard the best that Korean music has to offer (or are we JUST talking about popular culture? 'cuz if so, it's nothing that special). I mean Korean music, since it focuses so much on copying Western music, it looks more "fresh" to some people, but it doesn't give me a Korean feel, just that it's a copy.

I guess it's the fact that the Japanese pop music industry has thrived for far longer, thus there's much more to choose from.

JE POPPU!

[PoetGirl]

jpop cuz i understand language more, that's the main reason im not interested in korean music that much.

[Rock Steady]

I'm both, but I love K-pop a little bit more than J-pop.

DBSK >>>> Johnnys
Wonder Girls and Girls' Generation >>> H!P

Anyday.

[y_nathz]

Both of them are awesome ^^ ~
i even hate my own country's pop (really, indonesian pop is full of copycats -_-) n always listen to J-pop, K-pop or J-rock ~
the only english artist i like for now is only Lady GaGa ~

[KarenPang]

jpop for me

I don't think I will venture to listen to kpop & it doesn't help that I can't understand Korean at all T_T

at least for jpop now , I'm able to catch hold of certain words & phases in songs but not for kpop's case

[ayumi.hamasaki]

J-pop

[JackieRos]

[nemesisyume]

[Maemi]

[maze]

[Corvina]

I like both.
Overall I listen much more to J-Pop though.

[-KuMiLoVeR-]

Definitely J-Pop

[aqua_crystal]

I chose J-pop because, although K-pop is great too, I can't stand K-pop female artists And besides, most of my fav K-pop groups/ singers end up coming to Japan anyway, so....

[Namie♡TOP SECRET]

Jpop, Jpop, J-Jpop

[YuriChan]

Sometimes, I'll listen to some K-POP. But J-POP always dominates in my book!

[terra]

J-Pop, because I understand the language
