So yes, people are going to be skeptical of Korean Pop or the hallyu wave or whatever you call it. Just deal with it.

If someone posted a thread about an Indian pop act, it wouldn't get locked. It might not get any replies and get buried fast because there aren't many people here interested in it, but likewise, it's very easy to ignore a thread about a Korean artist if you hate it or don't care about it. If they come in here being bitches, they will get grilled by fans of the artist, just like anyone who goes trolling in ANY thread. Would you be having this attitude towards someone defending their favorite American or British pop star? Sorry, but I don't agree with "they're Asian, therefore you can't defend them here".

It is a big accomplishment. Yeah, it’s not selling as much as Lady Gaga but this is an international artist with no presence in the US, singing in another language. That alone proves how powerful of a movement K-pop is. Where are the foreign French, German, Japanese etc. acts charting on iTunes top 20 albums with no single and no promo?
#13 now BTW.
