Kpopping again

Was listening to kpop again yesterday at work. And made some observations about the cookie-cutter kpop bands. It's the same across boy or girl Korean bands. 

1. They all dance. Some are naturals and I believe others are able to do so due to rigorous training. They all have synchronized steps. 
2. There's always a leader of the group. 
3. There's always one or two members who have their hair dyed a bold colour. Be it gold or blonde or platinum or silver or....
4. There's always a member who's main job is to rap.
5. There's almost always a member who grew up in a western country. This member would usually be the one who taps in English as well.
6. There's always a member who's supposed to be the cutie pie of the group.
7. For girl bands, for counter balance to the cutie pie, there's always one member who would be portrayed as a tomboy or one with a more aggressive attitude
8. They always have an act-cute song, a ballad, a rapping song and a more angsty song in their repertoire.
