Can't stop laughing 
TWICE PINK IN YOUR AREA
Honestly that image just shows that people in Japan don't know much about both BP and Twice.
The quiz clearly says in Japanese that it's a Korean girl group with four members. They got the answer of BP wrong but also they don't seem to know much about Twice if they thought the group only has four members and doesn't know what they look like.
In most countries, they did.
but doesnt that mean they cant recognise twice either 
In most countries, they did.
Example? Thailand and maybe Indonesia, who else?

Normies don't know faces of most groups, what is important is that they recognize the name.

Using charting positions and length of time on said charts as well as streaming platforms, since they are actual data points we can look at...
As far as their songs on official charts and streaming platforms, literally every country sans Japan and to a lesser extent Korea there is a big gap.
As far as their albums, every country in Europe (France being the biggest), Southeast Asia, Oceania, and to a lesser extent South and Central America. Outside of Japan and Korea, really the only areas Twice comes in striking distance, yet still a clear second, are the US and Canada.

We've been through this many times. Ranking 10 positions higher when you're both at the bottom doesn't mean much.
Kpop is not mainstream in any of these countries. Neither Twice nor BP are mainstream in any of these countries, they are just a niche. You know where Kpop IS more a less mainstream? Right, Japan. Japan is the biggest idol market, Twice's popularity there actually makes a difference. And it is is going to make even more difference long term, compare TVXQ who had Japan and Suju who had "Asia". Former having Dome Tours after 15 years and making bank while Suju are doing varieties and talk shows. Even BigBang and their supposed "global popularity" what remained is Japan, which was like 90% of their touring activity during final years.
But back to the topic, Blackpink charting better, "better" being the key word, doesn't matter cause in the end both are niche. You mentioned South America and Australia, like bitch please, they pulled the same crowds there with their tours, what difference did streams and charts make? That is not the definition of a "home run".

That's a lot of cope for the huge gaps between Twice and BP where it matters.
