Good news for Korean investors and wacky nationalistic people but angering news to conservative Japanese.

If only Korea would stop claiming to have "conquered" places with their products.

These articles are always so misleading. K-Pop stopped being cool in Japan like mid 2011. Every few years some korean celebrities become popular and then dissapear. Just because a celebirty is everywhere doesn't mean everyone has a liking for them as celebrities are always overexposed in Japan.

Kinda OT but I miss 2008-2010 K-Pop, these past two years just havn't been the same. Too much boring music~~

$10 million...ok. Wonder how much they have spent on their own (Japan's releases) and the US-UK releases though...

That's good for Korean and Japanese economy, I don't see anything really wrong with this...

From my understanding I don't see anything bad about K-pop artists earning money in Japan. The South Korean music market is small in comparison and if the Japanese want to buy songs from K-pop artists then let them, they have the choice.

This benefits Japanese economy too, for example the Japanese staff that these K-pop artists have in Japan are employed with stable jobs, or the Japanese companies earning money from the advertisements from people watching K-pop artists perform on TV, and the Japanese companies involved with the distribution and service aspects of the music from these K-pop artists and so forth.

Its all healthy for the economy.
