I’ve mostly moved my discussions about Korean pop to my Tumblr, but the latest article I wrote for The Atlantic touches on both K-Pop and J-Pop. I wrote mostly about Wonder Girls and Girls’ Generations’ imminent American debuts, but I also touch on the likes of Pink Lady, Hikaru Utada and Puffy AmiYumi. If you want an introduction to why K-Pop has become a buzzed-about trend while J-Pop remains stagnant, this article touches on why that is.
