Is it possible to be popular internationally without being popular in Korea?

Yeah.. Ateez, Stray kidz, Dreamcatcher, Loona all fit the description

I think Kard too

yeah

tons of bgs

Obviously, Enhypen is a good example.

SKZ, Loona, Enhyphen, Monsta X maybe, Ateez, DC too though they're mid-tier internationally

Completely wrong lol. bts and blackpink are popular in overseas which elevated their popularity in korea.

everglow too, right?

yes

*sob in Dreamcatcher*

Shit...nevermind.

It was at this moment that he knew, he f-ed up.

It’s a meme, just go along with it.

to my knowledge there are a lot of BG who are effectively nugu (or just lesser know in SK) but have a decent enough fandom overseas to support them

Everglow exist

Absolutely.

Yes, there are tons of groups especially bgs and BTS got popular in Korea just because their overseas increasing popularity btw

Hmmm I was about to say yes but thinking about it, I don’t think it’s possible so far. Because if these idols aren’t popular in the Korean gp sphere, how will they be popular among the international gp?

Currently except for BTS, Blackpink and Twice (their Japan international popularity) no other groups are popular among the gp internationally

Oh please BTS we’re already smashing in Korea with fire, bst, spring day etc. way before dna got released and launched them into their international popularity. These current bgs aren’t even touching that popularity yet.

yeahhh
