lol you clearly havent listened to lotsa kpop. i agree, some artists really are westernized, but the same goes for jpop..
the mainsong is almost always catchy and fun and doesnt showcase their talent. they do that so that they gain fans, cuz THIS is whats popular in korea. if you listen to their whole mini or album you hear some pretty amazing songs.
also Lee Jung Hyun is one of the most original artists i have ever seen. yes, even more original than gaga
