It is natural for foreigners to like KPop.

Teddy said, “In terms of 2NE1, the powerful and trendy mixed with their oriental looks brings a new and unique atmosphere.”

When asked which group is the most concentrated and determined, Teddy answered with 2NE1. He described them as “4 very good singers” and “No matter what I tell them to do, they will always come back with a result.”

Boy bands, girl groups, pop singers and R&B stars, currently dominate the Korean music scene. Ballads will also be very popular. Some individuals argue that more diversity is important in Kpop music, but possibly the rock industry will likely develop down the road and everyone will likely be satisfied. The long run looks bright for Korean singers and it’s also probably only a matter of time until they’ll conquer the united states charts and also the rest of the world. Kpop is gaining a lot more fans each day and Korean artists are gathering popularity in US and Europe.
