So, there was a thread about how well kpop can chart internationally. Just a little bit of perspective as Hungary isn't the most easiest charts to breach by kpop. This is my first thread about something like this so please notify me if I am wrong about something or if I missed something. I think there is a lot of judgement in my country about kpop and while it shows on the lists (because the only ones tracking online stores or music libraries have kpop in them, but almost no radio play at all), I am still surprised that this many can chart. It seems that there is an audience for kpop but mostly on the international platforms. Radio and Djs seem to ignore kpop while I have to note, I regularly hear kpop in shopping centers. Articles do come out from time to time but mostly about Bts.
Another note: I am practising english so yeah, there might be mistakes!!!
