my friends little sister loves them (she's 16). i was wondering when kpop would finally hit big in the u.s. and its here.

their fanbase is crazy. which i honestly get, they're pretty boys with their own unique personalites who sing love songs and dance. easy money printing machine.

It’s been big here for at least 5-6 year but Western media has only caught on to their popularity in the last few.

I’m not a fan of K-pop but this isn’t a good example of it’s general sound. K-Pop is a flashy fusion of Pop, Hip&Hop, and R&B rather than pure pop. Like, you can clearly hear and see the unacknowledged Black influence on their sound and style.

It’s so much more obvious in most of their music than the song OP picked

The system they are under is even more crazy. There isn’t a Western record label that compares. They control every aspect of their lives.
Aspiring K-pop idols, known as "trainees," sign contracts with management agencies when the trainee is as young as 12 or 13 years old.[3] It may take ten years for an agency to groom the trainee and for them to debut on stage, according to the former head of the Korea Entertainment Law Society.[2] Both trainees and K-pop idols who have debuted typically live in dormitories, where their management agencies control their diets, their love lives, and their behavior.[3][4] Under most contracts, trainees and K-pop idols are required to pay back their management agencies for the cost of singing and dancing lessons, their wardrobes and living costs, among other things. As a result, K-pop idols may not make large profits.

They replace with a new batch when they reach a certain age(late 20s). They don’t even change the group names, just thrown an old one out and put a new one in.
