Dreamcatcher probably the best example that you can Rock & Metal in K-Pop industry, although both genre not that well received in mainstream. Good to see more and more Rock influence Kpop group, band & soloist join the industry. Like Dreamcatcher, Rolling Quartz, Day6, Xdinary Heroes, Rockit Girl and Pink Fantasy (although not all their title track is Rock genre) and so on.

Many things, yes, but not everything. I dare any producer or musician on the planet to make James Bond themes sound better in metal...or Taemin's songs. He basically has a legendary status in South Korea, and is considered the "Michael Jackson of K-pop". It sounds very cliche, but listen to 10 seconds from the choruses of 'WANT' or 'Criminal', the Jacko influence is very intense, especially when you see him dance.

Its worth noting that the founder of Kpop and mentor to BTS, Seo Taiji, is a metalhead. He played in a metal band before forming the 1st hugely popular Kpop group "Seo Taiji and Boys" who themselves dabbled with metal elements on a few songs (a popular example being Classroom idea, which BTS has covered live). Years later he reinvented himself and did a straight up nu metal album "Ultramania" that became his best selling as a solo artist

I'm a Metalhead, had a band for years and now I'm a K-Pop DJ too. Flipping Le Sserafim to metal was freaking awesome. I have the strong feeling a lot of metalheads like some K-Pop songs because K-Pop blends so many genres together, sometimes in one song. It's not the four chords standard thing what you expect from pop. I read some comments about DREAMCATCHER. They are an awesome rock/metal K-Pop Group. You also should listen to the new (G)I-DLE song "Queencard" it has Pop-Punk vibes.

i’m so happy to see all these DREAMCATCHER comments! i’ve been a fan of them since MINX and i’m so happy to see so many people loving them. i hope nik checks them out!! i think he could make something really cool out of scream or bonvoyage!!

Jessie did a REALLY great job, and it's clear she REALLY cared about what she was doing and wanted to give Nik something good. I applaud her! And that pinch harmonic is still fucking INSANE

​@@Werewolf914honestly the only requirement to make a metal version is that the song itself is good. K-pop, and pop in general, hires the best songwriters to write songs for their singers.

@burnout247iw

@@Werewolf914 Imo, depends. There's lots of kpop that sounds the same, but there are others that stand out amongst their market. Kpop uses different pulses and melodic structures than straightforward metal and sometimes their chord progressions get pretty quirky (case in point: Newjeans' "Attention", Red Velvet's "Birthday", for example). It may be easy to just whack on a typical metal riff on a kpop track and call it a day; it's another to think out of box and make it stand out, I feel.
