From SNSD’s First Japanese Tour Concert at the Yoyogi Stadium to their popularity on the streets of Japan, Mnet captured SNSD’s Hallyu effect on Japan through their program, ‘BOOM the K-POP‘.

An Mnet production crew member revealed,

“We will be exhibiting SNSD’s charms – which have deeply affected the lifestyles of the youngsters in Japan – by meeting with Japanese people of all ages, both male and female, in Japanese cultural centers such as Shinjuku, Shibuya, Harajuku, and Shinokubu.“

This program will air in two segments. The first segment broadcasted on July 14th with the title, “Do you know SNSD?“. This episode focused on seeing how popular SNSD was in Japan and why the Japanese people have come to like SNSD.

The second segment, which will air on July 21st, will run under the title, “Right now is SNSD!“; it will focus on SNSD’s Japanese fan culture and SNSD’s power in changing the lifestyles of Japanese girls in their 20’s.

Answer:

Yes kpop is a trend now
but I think like most trends they come and go and the other one lasts longer than the other
kpop isnt really anything unique or special..Jpop I think is way better.
oh and if kpop is populair its among teens who are obsessed, rarely 20s
teens have their fases which they grew out of and develope the next one.
just like bi sexuality,emo,gothic,punk,anime geeks learning japanese,kpop obsessed learning korean 99% of the time its a fase.
I know some teenage japanese who like kpop and obsess about it(which usually drives off after a while)
but I think most people in their 20s have passed the being obsessed over an idol fase.
anyway yes its exagerated.
