I think it's time K-Pop stands on it's own and out of the western music industry's shadow

Discussion

I see a lot of fans who get mad cuz K-Pop isn't western pandering enough and then we have another group of fans who criticize K-Pop..well for being too much like western music, taking from another group in terms of styling and aesthetic. I wished South Korea would start localizing talent and build from their idols.They should be pushing those who want to further their music careers by sending them to school, learning to compose, produce, and write. We need more Korean fashion trendsetters and styling from South Korea too. Koreans really do dream BIG and they've proven that within the last 20 years. Just look how fast Seoul has grown as an example. Idk why they can't or refuse to express that creativity.

Idk why Koreans can't or refuse to showcase that creativity, even going as far as refusing to let their idols grow.
