There are lots of factors. Kpop is successful because of fandom and social media. At the time when Japanese artists tried, social media and fandoms were not as strong as now. I bet modern Kpop companies create the fandom/memes online that could help.
Not mentioning the kpop music style.. because I don't really listen to kpop..
