Interestingly, what I have heard is that the CCP wants to 'de-Koreanize' its pop idols and wants less make up and plastic surgery in their idols and instead wants to emphasize maleness in its idols. In other words the Chinese government perceives their own "idols" as not being masculine enough --and thus it's not only Hollywood but popular culture in China (and east Asia in general).
