I think on abc, he said pudgy older guys fit comfortably into western stereotypes, but the beautiful boy bands do not. Still, I can't see why Ga In, K-ara and 2NE1 shouldn't be Class A stars. K-Pop is vibrant and fun! Maybe PSY's success might encourage a little more experimentation and less formula.

BTW, do you have any thoughts on the excerpt I quoted. Do photo-fit Korean girls have to suffer abuse in silence?
