Growing Popularity Of K-POP In India

Catchy & sanguine music that gets stuck in your head.

Attractive young Korean men and women who're fashionable and talented,Skilled young dancers that other dancers may feel inclined to view them as role models or copy their dance styles (and in turn, become interested in k-pop)
The main K-pop labels like YG Entertainment and SM Entertainment initially planned to turn themselves into hit factories to span their music globally the way American and Swedish music did in the early 21st century.

As a plan to span K-pop at a larger scale, Lee started off with Asia by using cultural technology. Alongside with the Internet, cultural technology played a massive role in the spread of K-pop. K-pop bands learned to sing in other Asian languages besides Korean such as Japanese and Chinese. This proved to be extremely successful as due to the catchy music by the K-pop bands, singing in foreign languages proved to allow people outside of South Korea be able to understand the song as well as look very impressive.

K-pop is dominated by the "big 3" companies: SM, JYP, and YG. In contrast with American agencies, which identify musical talent/potential and work with the artists to produce music, Korean entertainment companies recruit and manufacture these idols. Children/teens chosen to be celebrities train for years learning to sing/rap, practicing dancing/acting, foreign languages, dieting, getting plastic surgery, etc. all in preparation for idol dom—but very few of them make it through the final cut. This manufacturing process is what makes idols into the gods/goddesses that fans worship and drool over. But unfortunately, no system is perfect. First of all, this idol manufacturing system is extremely expensive and time consuming for obvious reasons. Furthermore, the massive amount of responsibilities I listed above is immensely taxing to the idols. Idols are humans, too. It's not uncommon for idols to get only 2-4 hours of sleep a day. No wonder idol groups tend to break up or have other troubles.

Asian cultures have more in common with each other than with American artists, so it follows that they might enjoy Asian artists over American ones.

What are American songs about? Sex, drugs, getting drunk, partying, grinding on girls, more sex, maybe even some BDSM thrown in, getting naughty with a shorty, etc.

Korean idols are much more culture-friendly in comparison. They sing about innocently falling in love, having a crush, etc. Sometimes they'll have a mention of soju or sexy girls, but nothing to the extent of American music. The government itself censors music and music videos, as well.Korean idols are all around entertainers that fans love and worship .Companies work hard to train and manufacture these idols. K-pop is more Asian culture-friendly than American music

CAN K-POP BE POPULAR IN INDIA?

K-POP lacks tremendous exposure in India, there are a lot of cultural differences between India and a Korea. India is involved more into Bollywood and the yo yo Singh genre. Indians really don’t like people with monolids and downturned eyes. They call all oriental people Chinese! There is a 50-50 chance that K-POP might gain Fame in India if and only if they start composing songs in English .
