The reason DGNA disappeared is that in 2012, the CEO of their company was arrested for sexually abusing the trainees. DGNA were not involved but all their their Japanese and Korean activities were cancelled and they were on hiatus for about a year, until they moved to a different label.

Yes, now you see the answer.

Unlike other industrial products, developing “intellectual properties” is very difficult.
For protecting intellectual properties, we need 2 powers: enough “population” and “human equality”.

For example, a company in Singapore can make & sell “MP-3 music players” to the world. But not many musicians from Singapore can sell their music contents to the world. Just because the population of Singapore is just about 5 million. They can’t create “unique” contents for sale to the world.

In much the same manner, “video game consoles” have been produced in ONLY two counties: United States and Japan. For developing “video game consoles” needs 2 powers: enough “population” and “human equality”.

“Human equality” closely supports “efficacy of law”.

India has a huge population. But the efficacy of the law is not strongly protected in the country, so “contents business” can’t grow up a healthy market there.

Every culture is unique in every place, region, and/or country.
But uniqueness offers no guarantee of success as a strong/independent business.

One thing I must point out, while you say they have to change their styles to please the japanese market and post snsd’s and beast’s videos as examples, you have to take into account that most of the difference in fashion choices are because the videos are made in different years. Trends come and go, beast’s bad girl (korean ver.) was realesed in 2009 while the japanese ver was realeased in 2012, 3 years apart! 3 years in kpop world are like 10 years irl in terms of fashion trends lol

>> Japan is a special case?
The reason is very simple, Japan’s music market is the second largest in the world.

So, Korean musicians come to Japan for business.
(actually, the S-Korean Government supports them for overseas deployment. Korean Wave is a governmental business)

K-pop is very popular among Asian countries, but “popularity” and “to be a business” is a completely different story.

Japan has been the second largest music market since the early 70′s. That’s a very basic knowledge about Japan. Is there anyone who can talk based on a fact or data? lol

Do you think musicians can make money easily, such as in Philippines, Italy, China, Germany wherever…?
Japan has a healthy market, so that’s why Koreans come.
