Ever heard of Wheesung, TRAX, or any rock bands from Korea or any solo singers who DON'T sing autotuned songs? It's hard to even know them because K-Pop is so saturated with bands singing to autotuned songs (which is dumb because most of them can actually hold a note).

The songs are catchy, but I don't see how that is overrated. Tbh, from what I know, the #1 reason people even become fans of K-Pop/bands (me included) are cos of the members. So yeah, maybe K-Pop is overrated cos South Korea is so damn skilful at their plastic surgery LOL

Spoiler:

But what has mainly been discussed is the mainstream k-pop. Which includes bunches of groups and then solo artits like hyori lee and BoA and g-dragon
That IS what I think is overrated. Simply because hardly can I find a song that I do like. And I can take catchy music. I need it in fact. And honestly I've found several other artists who can make catchsongs of much better quality and can I say catchyness lol

K-indie has many artists and bands that I find of great quality. Korea really does have decent rock bands.

But no one is really discussing that whether they are aware of it or not.

But then u go on to say how most of you are fans because of the members....

Because I can't get into their music I can't fangirl over them. Only sexy boys like G-dragon can I go gaga for cuz I like his stuff
Idk that's how my attraction works with musicians lol

Anyway its the big popular bands ur talking about that I'm saying are overrated. No ones talking about k-indie as its completely different.

Spoiler:

I think there's always misconceptions between kpop fans and non kpop fans.
Like many kpop fans seem to feel as if hate for kpop comes from simply ignorance of it or misunderstanding how everything works.
And often those don't like it do come up with unnecesary generalizations for kpop but several are still quite familiar with it

Its like watching people who constantly hate on popular western music against the fans of it. And the people who hate jonnhy bands and people who are fans of it.

It always works like the same way. Like this thread.

@AkusaRoses: just for u...ill start a thread for how overrated jpop is cuz it sure as hell is -some of it- (imo) just like kpop and other things. Even my precious vkei at times. Just give me some time.

Lol I'm starting to get very OCD with how long my posts are XD
