[NEWS] Reasons why Korean girl groups are successful in Japan


We have heard and seen news that Korean girl groups are currently enjoying massive popularity in Japan. So, what is the reason behind the popularity of Korean girl groups such as SNSD, Kara and 4minute in Japan?

1. Korean girl groups are innocent but professional!

Recently, Japanese newspaper Sankei Shinbun stated the reason for Korean girl groups’ popularity is that they possess not only physical beauty but also great dancing skills and choreography. Japanese fans feel that Kpop girl groups deliver the right type of music they’re looking for and also, the high quality of dance performances.

Japanese girl groups who usually perform their dance routine in uniform costumes do not offer as much features as Korean girl groups who have attractive appearance, beautiful bodyline and dynamic performances. Thus, that is the reason why Korean girl groups appeal to both male and female fans.

2. Korean girl groups = all-round entertainers?

Also, Korean girl groups’s singing and dancing skills are generally more superior than Japanese girl groups. SNSD, for example, are always well-prepared for their dancing and singing performances and the fruit of the preparation can be seen in their performances.The success of Korean artists in foreign market is not a fruit of a day or two’s work.
