If all the songs sound the same then the reason it's not popular here is because it's foreign. It's not just Korean, non-English artists from Europe can't break in either. North America just goes with local acts and local distributing companies, which makes sense.
If you find away to make K-Pop popular, you'd be a bazillionaire cause it hasn't been cracked yet.
Here one example. Hit play and close your eyes.... how's it sound?
"Can't nobody" isn't even correct!
