Having watched a couple of seasons of So You Think You Can Dance, I am certain American choreographers do this too, but somehow it hits differently if you see the Koreans do it.
Here's a clip from Sisters' Slam Dunk 2, a Korean variety/reality show—just the opening minutes. Think of the drills. And then think of actual trainees doing it day in, day out, perhaps with no certainty if you're debuting.
One thing that sets KPOP apart is the incredible choreography. If dance was warfare I feel like Korea would be the world’s number 1 military power.

No wonder you have groups like GFriend doing so well. Some more than others, of course—I mean, that's what GFriend is known for!
