There is a new generation of Kpop idols. Idols once popular (i.e. Big Bang, Girls Generation, Kara, 2ne1, B2ST, Infinite, etc) are now "has beens." The current trendy idols are Red Velvet, Winner, AOA, Girl's Day, Sistar, EXID, Apink, EXO. Kinda makes me think of the Cindy => Jini situation in Producer. What the public wants is new, young stars. The public eventually gets tired of the "old."
Ironically, the idols/actors most loved in Korea are the most disliked internationally. Inetizens don't seem to understand the reason why Suzy, Hani, Won Bin, Kim Tae Hee, or Hyeri are loved so much in Korea. I find it funny that they are trying to figure out why. Isn't Beauty in the Eye of the Beholder? My bias remains the same regardless of what others think. Below are some of my Kpop bias ^^ In Korea, it's always actor > idol. Being an idol is supposedly frowned upon. Idols' looks are always compared to actors with the latter being superior.
