The top 5 groups in Kpop combined are almost 50 percent foreigners 
.
NJ = 40 percent foreign w Hanni and Danielle who was born in Australia and listed as Korean-Australian.
LSRF = 50 percent foreign w Sakura, Kaz, and Yunjin who is dual citizen i think
Ive = 16 percent foreign with Rei
Gidle = 60 percent foreign with Yuqi, Shuhua and Minnie
Aespa = 50 percent foreign with Ning and Giselle who is listed as a Japanese national
but TWICE has 4 foreign members
and BP that depends how you count it
and also you probably noticed how Koreans always say they want only k members yet later on they really don't show them as much love as to teams which have foreigners
from 4th gen groups only ITZY got that top charts, then it's STAYC if we talkin about all k-member teams
but from previous gens you had GFRIEND, MAMAMOO, Brave Girls, Sistar etc.
I wouldnt say that bc foreign members still have to conform to Korean standards in everything rather than channeling their own heritage.
What matters to Koreans is "blood", so a mixed race Korean is 50% Korean, an overseas ethnic Korean still 100% Korean (depending if they had a controversy or not), and other ethnicities as 0% Korean.

3rd gen was definitely more Korean centric.
BTS, BP, Twice, RV, MMM are probably the top five 3rd gen acts in Korea.
BTS = 0 percent foreign
BP = 50 percent foreign with Lisa and Rose
RV = 0 percent foreign
Twice = 44 percent foreign with Misamo and Tzuyu
MMM = 0 percent foreign

The only true all Korean group that’s made it big big is BTS, boys from different provinces in SK, I’ll stick Big Bang in here as well. BP has 3/4 members foreign, two speak fluent English, so I always for saw how big they were going to be. It’s super rare to see a K pop group now without any foreign members due to the globalisation of the genre. This is why I’ve always been astounded to how BTS grew to be this massive, especially in the US, where the Asian communities are much more accepting of those who are bilingual, people like Jennie, Rose and CL. RM really doesn’t compare to their level of language fluency, I’ve seen videos and I could tell they had difficulty communicating their opinions across. I honestly don’t think you will see another group like BTS again, whereby all the members are Korean and succeeding in all the music markets……

I dont think Jennie is foreign at all, she only went to school for 5 years in NZ i think, she was born in SK and has always been a citizen there irrc. Also, i think only Rose is truly fluent in English, Jennie and Lisa i would classify as proficient.

Yeah but remember EXO?
I guess you could consider her either way, sorry don’t know how long she was in NZ? I actually think her English is pretty good, when she gets nervous she does pause and think more about what she’s going to say. But definitely a lot more fluent than Lisa from the interviews I’ve seen.
