Recent one especially...
As far as I know
ALL THE SIMILAR CRAP.
Don't believe me? Here's the proof.
(You don't have to watch the whole video, just the first 60 seconds of each)
First, we have "Nobody Nobody Nobody" by WonderGirls, which everyone is already familiar with. So I shall skip that video.
And then, we have "Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry".
After that, we have this, known as "Gee Gee Gee Gee".
And now? We have "Bo Beep Bo Beep Bo Beep". <--- The worst of the lot.
Seriously, how these songs can generate MILLIONS of views on Youtube is beyond me. All of these songs work on the same formula.
Creating an extremly catchy and addictive chorus, and repeatedly drilling it into your head. It's an extremely disgusting yet effective formula.
Even though you know in your mind that the song is just crap, you can't help but listen to it because the chorus just keeps echoing in your head. It's like a deadly virus.
The Winning "Korean Song" Formula
Based on this fact, I think ANYONE can create a successful Korean song. You don't have to be a professional song writer or anything. Save the money, write it yourself.
If I am the producer, I'll do this.
Randomly take some 2 or 3 syallable words and chain them together. Repeat them about 10 times. Use this as the chorus.
Then, find about 5 pretty girls and have them perform some whacky/cute dance. Use this as the MV.
GUARANTEE. This song will be a BIG HIT.
Let me give you a concrete example:
Say, I pick 2 words, "Dou Hua".
Therefore the chorus will be "Dou Hua Dou Hua Dou Hua Mai Dou Hua~~~!!!" repeated about 10 times.
Next randomly find some cute girls to do a some simple dancing (must have cute hand gestures, such as putting the fist next to cheeks and stuff)

Yeah~~~!!!
Sit back and watch the $$$ roll in!!!
Wooo!!!
Korean Music Industry is good business.
Oh wait, did I also mention that there's another song that goes like this...
"Tell me, tell me, tell tell tell tell tell me!" <-- Count how many times it is repeated in the song.
