This is in chinese, but it highlight the importance to develop pop culture icon.
It help to sell it own nation product well in other country.
You know SNSD and 2NE1 are regular screen in Samsung LED TV in our Harvey Norman and Best Denki.
 
yeah, very true, they have sex appeal, 9 young babes shaking their bums to catchy songs, who wouldnt stop and stare.. if you played some susan boyle, maybe it'd get some attention at first, but it'd bore people very fast..
 
It is a big money industry. Cannot afford to make any wrong investment.
 
Sometime korean govt will use group idols to make song for voting, G20 summit and simile campaign. Resort and HP maker made use of idol to make music video program especially for their product launch.

There are the some example for commercial use:

Too bad, this kind of vibrant music scene will not happen here.....

Bro, we have. The only difference is we dont use idol group, you see the Speak good english movement? Got Kumar and Hossan Leong (if i can remember correctly), our gvmnt Use these people sparingly because they want something we,Ordinary folks can relate to (CPF, Workforce , Dengue Mosquito)
 
Well, kpop is better, cos a lot of info can be access through internet which the video I post state that importance too. I know kpop idol more than Jpop. Jpop the market is close. Cos the jartist there can feed themselves pretty well and don't need to step out of country. Also a lot of info cannot be found easily on the web. Kpop idol alway cross country to performance, and feel more closer. Oversea fan can source their idol info through the website. SME send their own best idol and artist to US to perform, cos their music video in youtube is very well received. About 40 artist is being send to US for concert and sold out. Some more non-korea national in kpop are getting recognised. Like Nickhum(thai) in 2pm, Victoria Song Qian(ROC) and Amber(Hong Kong) in f(x), Jia(ROC) and Fei(ROC) in Miss A, Lim(hong kong) in Wondergirls. f(x)Victoria is now feature in two popular reality variety, KBS Invincible Youth and MBC We Got Married.I know a school send some singapore student to try their luck in korea agency audition. Now MBC are holding international audition for idols through youtube.

On other hand, Jpop dun have much info beside playing and singing. Jpop is more creative in music sense, but don't seem to care about international scene or at least Asia scene.
 
Maybe I join American Idol can sing she bang, I could be famous.
However, I know MBC is looking really realty well trained people.
Even susan boyle is not "allowed" in korean audition.
Anyway, I am very sure many young inspiring here would want to give a chance.
