I think the debate between jpop vs kpop should be ended. It`s really unnecessary to compare music taste. People should acknowledge that Kpop is more popular for global audience, but it doesn`t mean that Jpop is not good enough. It`s not about competition anyway

I think the definition of kpop and JPOP is different. Kpop is not exactly Korean pop music, it`s about idol groups, so it`s not literally kpop. Kpop is like a fusion of idol group performances and music. And idol groups have very little weight in jPOP`s definition. I think k-indie and K-hipop are more pure music.

The issue here is that KPop stans love to rub that in when they visit J-Pop-related videos, not to mention bashing J-Pop artists and their music because it doesn`t sound "Western," just like K-Pop.
