Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: K at 5.0 against Upcoming Kpop's 4.3. K also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Upcoming Kpop's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (8 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
