WHAT??????

no kpop fan want to defend kpop is more popular internationally??

i thought many kpop fan claim kpop is popular worldwide right now..

Nauto/ Dragon ballZ/ Attack on titans and many many more and kpop is still growing world wide, it's not really in the same category for comparison though

Anime. It started to grow big internationally in the 80s while kpop's rise is too early in comparison. Like, 2009+.

Anime, I think.

more than bts? o.o

Yes, you can see animes everywere, on tv, internet, you don't have to search.

Kpop on the other hand is becoming popular but still don't ear it often.

but kpop fan claim kpop is so popular worldwide..

Most kpop fans are anime fans

Meanwhile a minority of anime fans are kpop fans

I guess kpop must have a big number of passionate fans, close to the number of passionate anime enthusiasts

But anime is mainstream, almost every Brazilian child born after the 90's have watched anime in their lives. It might not be a passion, but it's so common that is just a piece of media at this point

It simple, if you ask someone who is the person with a picture of Sangoku and another with Jungkook, I bet a lot will know Goku and not he other guy

Anime easily.

Yes definitely. You shouldn’t have mentioned the group with the anime weebs F82791F2-7582-43A9-86EF-3A4188EA60D8.jpg

Saotome Mary outsold all your faves with ease

I'd say anime. However, it may depend on how you ask about popularity. As preference, Kpop could feasibly win in some age groups. If asked which one you know better, anime for sure.

Anyway, anime spread outside Japan way sooner than Kpop outside SK and usually exposition to anime/animation starts very young while Kpop is a relatively new phenomenon and on average I would say people form their music taste during the teen age, so there is a timing for music.

Anime. I bet some individual animes like dragon ball, Naruto etc are bigger than all of kpop

anime x100

anime...

animes like naruto and one piece are like known everywhere worldwide.

Anime lol and it isn't even close...

Anime, weebs are everywhere.

But K-pop is bigger than Japanese music (outside of Japan).

Kpop and anime target the same demographic. Kid, teen and young adult. So in this age demographic which u think is more popular for them??

I don't think Kpop targets kids that much, at least not outside SK or even East or SEA Asia if I can be generous. For sure anime is more popular for kids. Music isn't really that much of a factor when you are a kid IMO. Kids would be more attracted to something with more stimulus and anime has music embedded in it with possibly more stuff attached to it like toys, games, and other products.

Teen could be a toss up if asked as which one you prefer. Music starts to define teen mentality a lot, so maybe Kpop could win here depending on how you ask the popularity question. Young adult is just continuation of teen ages, but more refined.

Still I'd not ignore older audiences. Nostalgia is a big factor for adults past their prime years and anime for sure is more nostalgic as people from this gen and onward were probably less exposed to Kpop during their teens if at all while not being exposed to anime is quite hard as its spread started around late 70s. Like gaming, enjoying animation isn't viewed as something unique to young audience anymore.

While music is a different beast in this regard. People form their music taste and it platoons at some point around 30~40 if not earlier and may not evolve/change much after have it matured. Older people outside SK sphere of influence would not get into Kpop in droves. If given the option to just vote Kpop x anime, they would vote anime for sure no matter how you ask the question.

So adding the pool of age groups, Kpop may have a chance around 11~25 age group (if asked as preference), but if not asked in a way that favor music taste, I'd say anime still wins here. The rest is overwhelmingly anime.
