Kpop and other asian music industries are stuck in the past copying the west. Amercia/west already are over the phase of girlbands/boybands frenzy and moved on to the next big thing while Koreans/Japanese are still catching up with overall trend in pop music.
They should outinnovate the west (by bringing something new/never-seen before instead of replicating somehting West had done in the past) if they want be noticed and go global. Until then no it will remain mainly niche market.
