I don't understand KPop. We did these bands 25 years ago here in the USA. I didn't like that music then and I don't like it now. 😎
Oh, btw, i can give you a serious answer.
Due to the Korean war, and some other stuff South Korea has been under heavy American cultural influence. They rejected stuff from Japan, which is also the reason Starcraft popped off over there, because all they had were american/westen computer games. So they were basically isolated in that respect from the rest of the region. The American pop industry was just copied and pasted, and cranked to over 9000.
So...I dunno, its kind of rich as an American to shit on KPop while you guys culturally raped that country...ITS YOUR THING SIR. Somehow its even more fucked up than what you guys did with those Disney Club children. Look at Britney now sir....should have left her alone, LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE.
But yeah its a 100% artificial thing, those bands/idols are top to bottom manufactured products, including all the plastic surgery. Which, if you were not aware, is also next level in South Korea in general; which is no suprise if you on the one hand bombard that population with western beauty standards they physically can never achieve in the first place, and add a dash of USA-degenerate-plastic-surgery-industry.
South Korea is a broken society, has had the lowest birthrates in the world for a while iirc. The fact that that country is basically its capital, and that that capital is in range of essentially trebuchet fire from North Korea also does not help. Regardless of how backwards North Korea is, all they need in terms of military tech is the ability to throw hunks metal over a wall and it will obliterate South Korea in an afternoon. They have literally exist at gunpoint 24/7/365 for all those years. With a very impactfull manditory military service as a result.
So, here you go. Now you understand KPop and you understand why its the same thing you had 25 years ago
