Justin Bieber was recently spotted wearing a brand that K-pop stars wear, so there were only two logical reactions to that:
1) Flip out on Justin Bieber for trying to infiltrate/leech off of K-pop.
2) Claim Justin Bieber was influenced by K-pop.
Superstar Justin Bieber is receiving attention for being seen sporting accessories that were made popular by K-pop idols from Korean luxury brand, MCM.

What?
MCM isn’t a Korean brand. It’s a German brand with a Korean CEO that still uses a German designer. It’s not like Justin Bieber was using Skin Food or something.
So the connection that is trying to be made here is that the Hallyu Wave has even spread to influence America’s top idol.
The problem is that it’s like saying that SNSD endorses Intel, and since Eminem has a computer that uses Intel, SNSD has therefore left an indelible mark on the hip-hop map.

Justin Bieber is just one of the celebrities who wears MCM's accessories. MCM products have been seen wearing by Korean idols many times as their airport fashion since their outfit is always monitored by fans and medias.
