    I dumped K-Pop as a quid pro quo for Western music, and the answer is that I feel detached from K-Pop. "Detached" as in, I feel like K-Pop is not my thing. I remember when I was in Manhattan, New York, I saw this Korean guy. He told me that he doesn't like K-Pop. He explicitly stated that he likes Japanese music instead. I wish I asked him for his favorite Japanese singer, but I think maybe he feels detached from K-Pop, hence his love for Japanese music.


    For those of you who don't understand the title, this is the title, simplified:


    You dump K-Pop. You start listening to another country's music. Later you start listening to K-Pop again. Do you feel detached from K-Pop?


    Yes, you read that right. "I dumped K-Pop" means "I dumped K-Pop, including dumping Sunmi".


    I'm back into Western entertainment. I exchanged Sunmi for Avril Lavigne (my favorite singer), Taylor Swift, Paramore, and others.


    And yes, I posted this thread here because this thread's title says "another country's music", and that's because we have more than 190+ countries. That's plenty of other country's music to listen to!

  • I listened to JPop before getting into KPop and I am from Germany so most music I knew before KPop was German and English music mainly. I still know a row of modern music from Germany and stuff that most people know trought the radio and a bit more, but mainly I am not more really interested into the majority of western music, but I tollerate it on the radio at work when we have the Alexa play radio (altho it sucks how repeative some stations can be with what they play as if the stations would only know 30 songs + APT)


    And since I got into JPop before KPop I once almost got into listening to more KPop than JPop around 10 years back, but since the past 3-4 years I mostly listen to Japanese music and I'm still a big KPop-fan tho, nothing much changed other than how much I listen to of both types of music.
