There is a lot of kpop stuff on this board. What is the appeal? Is it the cute girls, the music or something else? Listened to a couple of songs. Dont hate it, its nice enough I guess, but it just seems like western pop fluff to me that you get bored of a bit too fast. Any of you have any recommendations of songs? Dont mean to hate or anything.

Many factors.
As far as music, there is both a critique and a strength of K-Pop, which is that there is not one musical genre that K-Pop is restricted to. Many groups dip their toes into a variety of music styles, appeasing international tastes.
K-Pop idols put significantly more effort into advanced choreography and live singing. This is a testament to the more rigorous training standards for K-Pop idols, which fans often appreciate. Music videos + stage performances + live shows all emphasize a performance aspect beyond just a music track without accompanying visuals.
In addition to all that performance content, more entertaining variety / candid content is managed and produced to show their funny, vulnerable, "human," side. Traditional Western media is often stale cookie-cutter interview format, with only few notable exceptions.
Fandom interaction is much better with K-Pop groups compared to top Western music artists, of course as a highly conscious marketing decision. Greater connection is fostered between fans and K-Pop idols through the higher content output and fan interaction.

K-pop is basically a korean export, same as Hollywood is to America. Half of the views/comments are bots.

Hollywood makes billions, especially from chinks and gooks, kpop is free and makes millions but for american companies like alphabet and mainly from koreans kek. I always love how youtube shows me gook ads and I don't even know what they say kek scammed losers.

i'm into it purely for the parasocial interaction with pretty asian girls. it's a very fulfilling hobby to have for a schizoid like me
the music is fine but it's really just a vehicle to deliver the commodity, which is the idol themselves.
