@ihearthawthats: Ha, that's true, but they were still very popular in the US. I guess I'm making the comparison with Western vs Eastern.

@gmcannon: Si.

I really like their music videos, but the music itself isn't anything special. It's catchy and clean, with a bit of cheesy cheeriness. I'd rather have the pulsing techno, but I suppose this fits the new style more.

@RawSteelUT: Well, in the West it was mostly young teens and preteens, which I can understand—it was kinda cheery and cheesy. In Korea, though, everybody listens to these groups. Talk about confusing.

@absentecho: Or Younha, the piano pop goddess that's actually a good musician. ;)

@Jakliu100: It's not racism if it's true, and it is. It's not that they're born that way—they take active measures to look similarly in groups such as this.

@J. Huang: He does have a point. Have you even been to Korea? All young women look like they do, and most get plastic surgery for it.

@taminosk: Well, girl groups like Girls' Generation are mainly entertainers, not musicians, so they do other things such as act in dramas or appear on TV variety shows. They also model and appear in cheesy commercials.

@skadoosh: Ha, I agree. All the girls in Korea are just as skinny. Actually, a good chunk of the guys are, too. Huge (no pun intended) difference with America!

@exkon: Despite the large number of girls, no, I don't think so.

@RawSteelUT: Well, to be fair to the US, groups like the Backstreet Boys and Spice Girls did still retain their individuality. Korea takes it to a whole new level, and unfortunately, it's still going strong.

@GrassJelly: Yup. They can't say, do, or even wear anything without their producer's permission—all part of the job. Kinda like selling your soul for fame. ;)

@s1ccn3ss001: MC Sniper! Dude, I love this song, especially Outsider's part (he's the guy that raps ridiculously fast). Thanks for posting!

@KingOfOldSkool: LOL, really? Korea actually has a very strong hip-hop scene, both popular and underground. Check out Drunken Tiger—he used to live in Los Angeles and battle against black rappers before he took hip-hop to Korea and popularized it there in the 90s.

@baeshin: G.O.D. was good, but they were kind of hip-hop/ballad/R&B. I liked their vocals more than their rap.

@unlovedhomie: Word. Classic DT is no more, but his new stuff is still good. I do miss DJ Shine though. :(

@Sean Netzel: No problem! Glad you like them. It's cool that you're open to listening to new music, especially foreign stuff. Hope to see you around!

@Revival: Unfortunately no; like I said, they're a hip-hop group, so their songs almost always have rapping. The only exceptions would be their instrumental tracks that the DJ makes.

@joeytrace: Hmm, I'm not sure about Bieber. He was originally a YouTube dude, but people liked him, so it was only natural that someone should pick him up.

@def PD: Haha, totally! Man, those were good times.
