The Most SUCCESSFUL Non-Asian idol no one talks about...

I noticed when people menrion non-asian idols they only mention people like Alex In Rania, Fatou in Black Swan, Sophie in Jewel, and that Russian solo singer.

BUT... No one talks about the most successful Non-Asian that won daesangs....it seems most international fans don’t know him but his group was out here winning daesangs back to back and having EXTREMELY successful songs (what i-fans call National Hits).

His name is Brad Moore and he’s a White-American from Cincinnati, Ohio. He was in the ever so popular geoup Busker Busker and was given the title the “Caucasian King of Kpop”, and yes, he is FULLY white.

Busker Busker lasted only 2 years unfortunately but in that time they were everywhere and a major Hit in Korea.

I mean god damnnnn :eek: :eek: 3 MILLION?! Only geoup I know that exceeds that is BTS lord....doesn’t Blackpink get 1-2 millionish???

Busker Busker has major hits in Korea whcih you can easily figure out by the graph

And on to the awards they won....

Mr. Ohio was grabbing Bonsangs and Daesangs 😱

Soooo....wow...he was just a college student that just ended up in a band then a year later they were winning awards.

People never mention him....I wonder why?

They even charted on the Hot 100... heres a billboard link if you wanna know more....they were ever so popular before I left Korea.

Discuss?

Holy moly, I missed Cherry Blossom Ending....that was song of the decade material even though its been 9 years it’s downloads are still killing it on Gaon till this day. New Kpop fans must have it rough to nit know this song

Are they considered Idols ?

They’re more “indie” but they would still fall under “idol” imo, but even if they’re not. They still released SOME pop music in korean with a group.

Quote from dong-thefirst

they had one song that is probably the most iconic song in korea of all time

but other than that, barely much recognition, atleast for ifans to know

I-fans hold no opinion most don’t even know the song “cherry blossom ending”. Their opinion about Busker Busker’s recognition in Korea isn’t needed because they’re I-fans.

Would you consider MC The Maxx an idol group?

Just as much as Day6
