It is racism. To a greater or lesser extent, but interior design after all. I know it sounds extremist, but what other reason is there for an industry that covers more than two hundred different groups with different styles? I understand that someone does not like pop, and instead will not like pop music in its place of origin and of course, within the kpop there is a lot of pop music. But it is not the only thing and it is something that has been repeated several times, but people keep turning a deaf ear. Is Cypher pt. 3 Killer BTS pop, perhaps? What is Big Bang Zero or Zero for the behavior of Block B? No, none of those songs go into pop and all groups are under the label of "kpop". They are just three examples of the many others we can find, (even R & Por hiphop artists within the kpop groups, such as Yoongi's cases such as Agust D, Namjoon, Mino, Bobby, Zico, CL ... ). If you like someone you do not like hiphop, in kpop we have many pop songs, if you do not like hiphop or pop, there are songs that are closer to electronic music. Come on, there's a lot of variety, which I think it's pretty clear to say that there are more than 200 artists.
So, what do all these groups have in common? Its origin. Then I see the correct racism. Why Taeyeon was on the radio and singing Taylor Swift in English, Save me from BTS just like the song in English and Justin Bieber, and so I can continue as examples for centuries. The origin of the music, the language in which it is, should not be a barrier in the part of it, but it is not a "matter of taste", but it is something that goes beyond and that enters into racial issues.
The main problem with the kpop is that it is not given a chance (anyone who listens to Korean music can name occasions where they have not allowed to put music simply because they are Korean artists). Or if it is an opportunity, if it is an opportunity, in the sense that if you are a song, for example, of Bon Iver. while the step is a BTS song. Music, yes, but not "from here", but "from there", and if you do not like the song that I like the BTS step is probably widespread and will say that you do not like kpop,
