“Why do we have to lose to Korea?”… The CEO of a big agency that has just debuted a girl group sparks controversy with his anti-Korea remark

Quote from Fansamy

They paid little attention to the world beyond Japan when it came to promotion.

Jpop could have been the big one if they had, because they already had millions of anime fans as their potential fans.

They didn't use the opportunity and Kpop is the big one now.

Exactly, they ignored international success and ignored changing music trends

I was a big fan of Japanese pop culture as a teenager.

But the fact that they're so stingy sharing and promoting it outside of Japan made it stay in its own bubble.

It's not as easy to watch and listen Japanese music after all (although it has got better).

Korea on the other hand uses everything in its power to reach the world. Most groups even have content with English subs because of that.

Your move, Japan. (Or is it too late?)

stupid thing for CEO to say..

anyways, just checked the girls out and wow.. they are really good!
