Japan is a potential market for Korean artists to get fame. Also, it is really close to their own country. Japanese like k-pop music and not all of them understand the lyrics. So, the Japanese versions of the songs help them connect to their idols and appreciate the beauty of the music more.

ITZY were on high positions on chart this year and won few awards as a best female rookie group. So probably we can say: yes, they are popular. Even most popular among rookies. But not most popular above all k-pop (and even not top-10 among all if to count fan base, I think).

Much of the pop culture difference comes from the difference between the governments of the two countries.

The visual of a Kpop group is basically the most handsome member of their group. ... Koreans are very vocal about their aesthetic criteria, hence the position of 'visual' in each Kpop group.

Both countries have collective society, but Japan has an external collective culture, while South Korea has an internal collective culture. It means Japanese collectivism is more society-centered, while Korean collectivism is more family-centered. In Japan, following social standard and social order is very important.

While the group's album and song titles are mostly in English, and they incorporate a few English words or phrases into songs, the bulk of their lyrical content is in Korean. Recently, non-English music — in particular Latin pop and hip-hop — has found its way to the top of the mainstream charts.

Kpop is actually great motivation when it comes to exercising. There are a lot of interesting and fun dances, both easy and difficult. There are workouts based off of your favorite Kpop tracks and some idols show their workout routine to keep fans motivated to stay healthy and in shape.

1: Average Japanese have problems with their legs and heights. Their legs tend to be not so straight and they are not as tall as Korean. This will make the idol industry much difficult to appeal to the audiences overseas in terms of impression and sexuality, in contrast with Korean idols.

K-Pop groups make subgroup in their group to create another group. I know, too obvious. But the thing is, if one member, for example can't be with her/his group in their upcoming comeback, then the subgroup that was made can either; make their debut or do their comeback. Easy.

K-pop stars first need to be signed as a trainee by a big record label. It's only then that they're in the running to be picked as a solo artist or as part of a band. They're all pretty young.
