    What is it about Korean Pop that makes it so addictive to people?

    Korean Pop is also called Gayo or Kayo Music and it's part of the South Korean culture that is slowly but surely spreading in the rest of the world.

    I dunno what makes it so addictive, I haven't heard or listened to any of it :lol:

    It doesn't seem to be that popular with the outside of Asia. Although, one of my (non-Asian) hall mates is completely obsessed with everything Korean. She even flew to Los Angeles from the East Coast a few weekends ago just to attend some kind of Korea pop concert!

    I have never heard of Korean Pop.
    However, I am sure it also matters where you are in the world to be exposed to it

    The songs are actually only decent. I think its the actress that gives it that X factor

    SMTown :)

    i totally would have wanted to go....if i had been in LA at the time = =
    my friend went though

    as for the appeal of korean music....meh
    most of it is due to the singers' looks (like SNSD >.>)

    buttt there are some who can actually sing (boa, younha, etc)

    The singers' looks??? But judging from the multitude of K-pop posters in my friends room, the male singers look a little too feminine to be considered attractive! XD

    I think it's just the K-pop singers that look feminine. For instance, some of these guys:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Bang_%28band%29

    Normal Asians don't seem to look like this, so maybe it's their makeup...
