4.Some K-pop videos are the best movies you'll ever see.
5.K-pop's boy bands are often as ornately stylized (if not more so) than their girl group counterparts.
6.I mean, this is the craziest and best getup you have ever seen in your life.
7.That hair! That makeup! Those leather leggings!
8.K-pop stars frequently present themselves as androgynous/gender neutral, which is cool!
