What I can never figure out, is how/why a great deal of Korean concerts/movies are English subtitled, and yet, not a single Japanese one I own is unless it's a bootleg.

Now, to me, the concerts aren't that big of a deal, as someone usually fansubs the talks/behind the scenes bits, but it always baffled me that Korea seems to understand that North America/English speakers watch their shit, so how did Japan miss this memo?

[hopeandmemory.livejournal.com]

probably because japan has a pretty healthy music industry and korea's needs all the help it can get. therein lies the importance of the hallyu wave. :/ they need the international fans more than japan does, i think.

[joshua-glass.livejournal.com]

Really? That surprises me considering how many popular Korean singers/bands there are. Not saying it's not true, since I really have no idea, but it does seem strange.

[hopeandmemory.livejournal.com]

there are tons, yeah, but the music industry itself is really messed up because their digital sales are miniscule (because shity music sites like soribada sell entire albums for like A DOLLAR) and they invest so much money in training idols that they have to send the more established bands to japan to actually make some money. so much of the korean music industry is based on exporting what they have elsewhere, because the market in korea is just not as interested as they want it to be. it kinda sucks because these kids work really hard and they have to work even harder overseas so their company can recoup the losses in training them in the first place.

[writerserenyty.livejournal.com]

That's why so many Korean groups/singers focus in on promoting in Japan, because they can make money there.

Also, the reason they don't sell well is mainly because piracy is REALLY prevalent there.

especially the japanese singers who have large western fanbases and/or are trying to break into the west.

i know subtitling costs money, but i can't imagine their western sales wou'd be so bad that they wouldn't cover it.
