Greetings,
Recently I've been peppered by a different kind of pop, namely K-Pop. I blame MTV (MTV Asia to be precise) because they tend to lace their normal music video programms with K-Pop music videos.
From what I've seen so far Korean Pop (K-Pop) comprises of a special formula:
Thirteen.

From what I've seen so far Korean Pop (K-Pop) comprises of a special formula:
- Male artist - androgynous
- Female artist - as many as you can pack into a bus
- Female artist - legs, as many as you can pack into a bus
- Any artist - must be able to say these words in English - "Yeah. Oh baby. Yes. OK etc"
- Not afraid of glitter and makeup
Thirteen.

| Hi, can we just have the band in here please? Oh, you ARE the band? |
Its not surprising that many of the female bands dress the way they do, its a multi million dollar (Won or Won, you pick) industry. Being sexy translates into more album sales, and more work.

| For the Korean won before the North–South division, see Korean won. |
I'm not going to throw around K Pop band names, that's what Google is there for. Super Junior, Wonder Girls, 4 Minutes by the way are just to name a few. Band shelf life goes from anywhere between 6 months to 10 years, depending on the Scoville scale of how hot you are.
One bit of news I found a little amazing while reading up on K Pop is that there have been plans by South Korea to weaponize it, just to annoy the hell out of North Korea. Just imagine playing Avicii - Levels, over and over again just because your idiot neighbor does home improvement work on a Sunday morning.

| These aren't cute girls, they're actually Voltron in disguise. You just need to know how to assemble them the right way |
I think the boots market should be doing very well in Korea.
