1. [+381, -36] It makes me laugh when people try to justify SM artists like f(x) and EXO by saying that music critics have acknowledged their songs. Since when did idols have any musicality? They just dance to whatever SM hands them like little puppets punched out of a factory. They're products, not musicians.
2. [+277, -9] So the west feels the same thing about K-Pop as we do...
3. [+151, -14] Suju's songs are trash
4. [+19, -11] There is no soul in idol music
5. [+19, -11] K-Pop's fine and all but you can't call yourself a singer just for having a pretty face and body. I just saw After School on 'Challenge 1,000 Songs' and my niece was like, "How are people like them singers?"
6. [+16, -2] We need to cut down on the audition programs. Even foreigners are feeling what we feel about K-Pop now.
7. [+14, -10] Cookie cutter music and cookie cutter faces.
8. [+14, -8] No one really anticipates anything from K-Pop anymore...
