Well that's just as dumb. Media can't be compared generally like that. Average poster still loves Japanese games and anime but nobody ever cared about Japanese drama or idol culture - which are the gaps that got filled by the Koreans.
He's baiting anyway. For me it was never about Japanese versus Korean media. It's Asian media in general versus the western slop which I dropped entirely because it's unappealing to me.

Jpop was always self sustained by the local audiences and never sought out a wider market. There was no need to.
Kpop was always more ambitious in its scope and reach so naturally they've invested in better promotions.
Cpop is even more locked down than Jpop for the same reason except its domestic market is even bigger.
