Do you get bothered by when kpop songs are composed by Western composers?

Not at all. I couldn't care less. A good song is a good song.

And now that I think about it, many of my favorite kpop songs are composed by American composers.

Nope, as long as it's a bop.

Even if one of the producer is a literal car hitting a random piano key, it wouldn't be a matter to me.

Now that I think about it, I had no problem at all if the song is in english too. Like, fr, as long as it's a bop then I'll still listen to it anyway

As long as the song is good i don't care about the nationality of who composed it

Not really cause if that would bother me, than I would also need to question other music genre who arn't "western" and have American or European producers. I mean I could write for example a long ass list on American/European producers who worked on JPop (like for example the Japanese boygroup BE:FIRST who worked on a song with the British producer Jonas Blue, I could name a lot more)

And than music would just be annoying and boring for me if I would search up the producers first just to hate on them and that would be very bad and ruins the mood of listening to music. I don't want that. And if a song is good than who cares who produced it. I don't care if the Korean song was made by a Korean producer, the artist themself, a Japanese producer or someone from Canada,... I just only care if I like the song or not!

Traditionally Kpop fans were mostly oblivious to which (or how many) songs were composed or written by westerners, so it would be a pretty silly thing to start getting upset about now.

production yes

lyrics no

Bothered? Why would I be?

Like you mean people actively search and investigate who the composers are? For what?

if i like the production enough i'll look up a producer and their other work in case they got more good stuff

yes these western composers can be giving GOOD songs to western artists. they just go to kpop and give their BEST TUNES to these slave capitalist evil corporations and these IDOLS who be hating and be evil to SING. it's NOT okay TO ME.

A little bit unless it's a coillab.

Quote from HwaGoose

Sometimes when I see that, I'm sometimes wodnering who did what and stuff.

it’s traditional to write the most important contributors first, just like with a research paper

Good song is still a good song, but it must be putting Korean composer ability into question. Comparing to let's say Yoasobi, they're successfully producing world mega hit without any involvement of foreign composer and producer.

no

why would it bother me?

eh

They had the allkpop article with song producers, it could just be like 12 of them in a room and they don't know who came up with what
