Why are so many K-Pop songs about love?
Question is in the title. Notice how I said "many" and not "all," cuz I know there's definitely songs about other things.
But a lot of the popular K-Pop songs are about romance, love, or relationships in some way or another. Why don't they have a bunch of songs on other things?
Not just Korea, but this could also apply to many other music markets. But I've mostly been exposed to K-Pop so I'm gonna restrict this to K-Pop. Is there really nothing else to sing about? Such as friendship, school, work, or just life in general. Enlighten me, K-pop fans.

The audience is mostly teenagers or young adults, and love is something everyone can relate to. Love also contains enough feelings (anger, happiness, sadness, worry, nervousness, etc.) so that the style of music can be very broad.

That's a universal theme that most people can relate to, and have for hundreds of years. Political and "message" music isn't popular in Korea.
