1- K-Pop is accessible to everyone

K-Pop touches all the genders, ages, and nationalities (yes, it is not only teens!). There is no age for K-Pop.

Most of the songs are in Koreans (even if there are songs in Japanese, Chinese, English, Spanish, etc) but music has no language barrier. People's feelings can transmit through music. Moreover, the songs are on the subject relatable to everyone making it easy to connect with.

K-Pop is a genre that has music coming from pop, house, rock, r&b, hip hop, etc. It is not only hype/loud songs but also ballads. K-Pop music is easy to like.

2- A whole package of performance and visual

K-Pop music is good but the unique whole package coming with the songs is one main factor of its popularity.

The "package" includes jaw-dropping performances, songs released with story and themes, innovative fashion, huge investment (not always) in music videos and stage performances, etc.

You can somehow imagine it like a blockbuster musical (if that makes more sense?).

Even though not all K-Pop groups do synchronized dancing, a huge majority do and that with jaw-dropping performances! It is not just a few simple movemen
