KPOP

This is an article strictly about KPOP.  I recently got into it because of the numerous subbed videos of variety shows on youtube.  My only experience before this has been Super Juinor, because they had appeared on a music show with Arashi and I though wow how can there be so many members in a group (this was during "Sorry, Sorry".  To be honest I like JPOP better the songs are happier I think the guys look cute (not anyone I would date, but I think if you like cute, JPOP is for you).
Things I noticed (list is not in a particular order:
1) Korea has to many music shows, why do you need more than 3.  What is the point if the same group is performing in all of them. I do not know for sure but there are 4-5 of them?

2) Korean girl groups I think are either cute or sexy or both.  I do not see much talent, also I feel like alot of girl groups have one main girl and the rest of the girls are there as back up dancers.

3) To many members in a group.  More is not better in this case.  I understand they have a number of trainees that they want to debut.  I think first of all if you have talent you can get away with not looking as good, or if you look hot you can get away with it.  I think 1-2 members in there for looks is enough.  Block B has to many members, they should have debuted as 3 members.  Boyfriend, lol this group they all look the same and sound the same (this is after watching and listening to all of their MV's/main songs) so 2-4 members or maybe just the one guy.  4minute and 2NE1 I wonder why they didn't just have the main girl debut as solo.  ZE:A, well enough said rich boy, actor boy, and the comedian should all be taken out. Rainbow well to be honest I hate all their songs, no one stands out as bad or good, guess that's why they are in a group.  EXO, 2PM, 100%, MBLAQ, BEAST, INFINITE (while I love them I think there are some extras in there) SUJU,  there are members that could be cut that don't do anything in a singing group, they might as well have debuted in their own fields. U-kiss's best song was actually U-beat featuring Kevin hahahaha (so maybe to many members lols dunno).

4) In every show I see with Big Bang it is always and I mean ALWAYS mentioned that G-Dragon composes the songs.  I personally like the songs that G-Dragon has done solo, I am not that crazy about Big Bang's songs.  I am not sure why this is an item, I guess it's because other groups have composed their own songs, but it seems Big Bang definetly gets more recognition for it.

5)The senior and junior relationship is so over the top, I felt I was prepared after liking jpop but I was not.

6) I do not understand why people in KPOP wants to be popular in America.

7) I really hate a lot of KPOP songs.  I am not sure why, they have some catchy ones, and some good ones, but I think generally the market over there is flooded with crap.  A lot of songs sound similar to other songs.

8) Some group members you can tell they have had a little to much plastic surgery and I mean this is the nicest way possible.

9) For me seeing pop groups in variety shows is a must, to be honest I think a lot of groups are extremely boring and are not necessarily "Idols" in my sense of the word.  To me an idol should be able to sing, dance, act, be interesting in variety, and model.  They don't have to be the best of course but they should be a bit above average.
