It's not about whether or not it's musically innovative, it's about the fact that listening to k-pop for the first time after listening to and tiring of j-pop for years and years can be very fresh and fun.
If you're not a music snob, that is.

Yeah but, If I'm going to listen to "silly" pop music, it's at least going to be in English. Snobby about language? Maybe. About music? No.
I'm gonna listen to Craig David and Jason Derulo over say, Wheesung.
I also refuse to ever support an industry that is openly prejudiced against African-Americans, yet their entire sound and image comes from AA's.
On the topic of J-pop... it's gotten extremely stale for me. I don't like all the huge boybands/girlbands coming out, and artists whose older works I love are releasing mediocre new stuff.
