| Though having a hit with a K-Pop act may not rate as high in the cred-department as getting a cut with, say, Rihanna, the royalty payments more than make up for it. |
'Enuff said. Despite all those Swedish songwriters making big bucks selling songs to Girls Generation, who's ever going to take K-pop seriously? Everyone knows it's all in the same vein as Samsung aping Apple, K-people can't even write their own tunes. |

...then again, they could copy/plagiarize or simply buy other peoples' music and have it sound mediocre to bad and some people on here would still defend it.
There just ain't no pleas'n some people.  |

| So essentially, "foreigners" compose the songs, hot girls are found to sing meaningless gibberish over it and it sells like hotcakes - is this anything new for Korea? |

Meh, I enjoy listening to some songs, especially the ballads. They are fun to sing. I don't care if it isn't the most innovative thing in the world.
People ripped disco for the same reasons. They need to lighten up.
That being said, if I want "quality" I'll go for K-Indie Estro-Coffee-Pop-Rock or some classic Shin Jung Hyun.
But I don't always want "quality". |

To think their songs are not even written by Koreans. Kpop is garbage for the most part - just like most pop.
I dont really see what the big deal is: Kpop is big in Asia but really no big deal anywhere else. Really they are just exploiting the mysterious Asian stereotype and doing nothing else. |
