Compare the three biggest kpop artists
PSY(or BoA)
Girls Generation
IU(or EXO)





JPop's biggest artists
Utada Hikaru
Ayumi Hamasaki
Namie Amuro(or AKB48)

Bigger genre, Korean music or Japanese music?

Measure how big something is with sales

Utada Hikaru alone >>>>>>>>>> Kpop

Not you leaving Big Bang out when they are by far the biggest Kpop act.

Anyway, Kpop is way more popular around the world but despite Kpop being so widely known, South Korea is a relatively small music market. On the other hand, Japan is a HUGE music market (just about tied for #1 with the US) and makes so much more money than the Korean music industry. The scale of revenue between the two isn't even comparable. There's a reason Kpop acts are flooding to promote in Japan.

BIGBANG isn't as active as the others I posted because they release yearly
and they're flopping too sadly, only Gurls Generation made a semi big Japanese album.

Utada, Namie & Ayu > KPOP

KPOP is amazing lately but overall JPOP>>>

Deep River ALONE

[Eternium]

Japan is one of the biggest markets ever.

And those aren't the biggest acts in either market by a longshot. There were album sales before Oricon.
