Isn't he always like that? Blunt enough to make troubles and get temp banned several times?

But anyway here's a similar analogy. Let's not forget about the British Invasion bands such as the Beatles. UK didn't have a lot of people but its bands influenced a heavily-populated country called the USA decades ago. But Koreans you say? They have Viktor Tsoi (Father of Russian language rock who is a Soviet-Korean). Or Cui Jian (Father of Chinese language rock who is a Korean).

But for K-pop being bigger (more popular) than J-pop? Population doesn't matter for comparing which genre is better or not due to every genre of popular songs are... just popular. Measuring the popularity of a genre by population is to me dumb.

I don't personally listen to Korean rock. Maybe Novasonic. FYI Korean rock isn't that big or pretty much indie. But as for K-pop, I don't listen to those that much. Well, thanks to Korean immigrants in Canada and the USA, K-pop has a relatively bigger presence over there.
