South Korea's K-pop music has overtaken Japanese music as the industry's most popular genre in the country.

Relations between the two countries have been difficult after Japan's colonisation of Korea in the first half of the 20th century.

But with the growing popularity of Korean culture, will attitudes to people of Korean origin, who make up a large ethnic minority in Japan, soften?

Any "big" j-pop band sells better in Japan than K-pop band. It's "normal" imo.

"as the industry's most popular genre in the country"

I'm assuming they mean apart from Jpop right? they are not saying it's above Jpop in general because that would be ridiculous.

Also LMFAO at using 2ne1 as an example when they had the worst debut among Kpop artists this year, only 4minute is flopping harder than them.

This is all kinds of wrong. KPOP more popular than JPOP? 2NE1 popular in Japan? LMAO
