When are you going to start writing about K-pop?

Korean pop content over on poptimists. So when are you all going to start writing about K-pop? Especially if you are [livejournal.com profile] katstevens and you have a blog called The Vids Are Alright? Or you are [livejournal.com profile] dubdobdee and you managed North Korea in the Pop World Cup, or you are [livejournal.com profile] chuckeddy or [livejournal.com profile] freakytigger or [livejournal.com profile] skyecaptain or [livejournal.com profile] girlboymusic or [livejournal.com profile] martinskidmore or [livejournal.com profile] piratemoggy or [livejournal.com profile] jeff_worrell or [livejournal.com profile] hoshuteki or [livejournal.com profile] atommickbrane or [livejournal.com profile] miss_newham or [livejournal.com profile] cis or [livejournal.com profile] anthonyeaston or [livejournal.com profile] xyzzzz__ or [livejournal.com profile] braisedbywolves or... does anybody else use livejournal anymore?*

Anyhow, here's my K-pop tag, though you have to go to the comments to find most of the commentary and embeds, by people who know more than I do.

Meantime, performer to ponder = E.via. Seems to be in the Robyn/GaGa category, cutie-pie who's more sociologically like me than are other cutie-pies. Wonder if on that basis she could do well with, say, the current U.S. audience for Robyn.

Is it coincidence that most of the performers that we're discussing happen to be female, or is this an era where women make better frontpeople in K-pop just as they make better frontpeople in Anglo-American pop these days? (Crisis of masculinity part 1,061.)

*Who might be interested in K-pop, anyway: [livejournal.com profile] askbask, anhh (Anonymous), [livejournal.com profile] petronia, [livejournal.com profile] tarigwaemir, and I are carrying the conversation by ourselves, even if one of us - me - seems not to know what he's talking about.
