Since I'm totally in love with K-pop I'm a little defensive of people who have just been introduced to it (or claiming so) making grand, sweeping statements like that, especially when what they're saying doesn't make any actual sense.
I'm trying not to sound like I'm coming at you; it's not personal, what that guy said just got me fired up.

Well he wasn't comparing it to the entire music industry of Korea, just K-Pop - big difference.
Personally I thought the video as a whole was stupid but his comment was quite interesting imo. In fact I think it would be fascinating if someone did some research and wrote an article on the similarities and differences between Motown and K-Pop, and how they might relate to each other.
I didn't take anything you said personally so don't worry
