kpop is popular not only in Korea...but mainland China, Taiwan, Mongolia, and SEA...thats pratically all of Asia outside of japan...you ask the average person if they know SNSD, alot would say they do
Maybe to Japan, SEA is meaningless since they look down on them...but SEAsians greatly appreciate it when Kpop returns the love..and yes SEAsians do buy alot of CDs, its very ignorant of you to think that..not everyone in SEA is a beggar..when I was in my home country visiting the music stores alot of the kpop CDs were sold out...they also sell more seats in concerts then american artists do.....
Jpop is more popular in Japan...yes...Jpop is popular in anime conventions in western countries...yes...so how does that equate to jpop being more popular then kpop amongst asian countries?? cuz we all know thats a lie...Jpop has basically alienated themselves to other Asian countries

NUMBERS#### STATS!!!!!!
stop ranting opinion!!!!!!
Post third party stats of Export sales to prove it.
As I said:
You can't find any stats to support your claim can you?
I know none of you Kpop-philes can because they don't exist!
weak arguments always!
