Did people try to erase Rain from kpop history?

idk i don't care about who is the million seller

rain daddy

I can understand this though. It's because he doesn't have certificates yet.

But yeah I agree that people tend to undermine Rain's contributions to the kpop. He is probably the originator of spread of kpop outside Asia alongside Wonder Girls. I have always felt that these are the only two kpop artists who made noise *even though a little* till BTS. Others just went and came back. Sorry not sorry.

PS : Don't like his music tbh but not gonna question his legacy and I hope no one does.

Same thing will happen to Baekhyun when his fangirls age out and new generations take over

I agree with this comment (although I do like Rain's music). People tend to look at kpop ahistorically and discredit massively the first (and second) generation. Rain sold out a concert in the US back in 2006 in a matter of days. A lot of oversight is also made on how the Hallyu wave was actually a soft-power process that took decades and was slowly being popularised. BTS marks a huge proliferation of kpop music (and Korean culture as a byproduct of that) into the Western sphere, not necessarily being the first to pave the way.
