But companies go (all in) In japan and China before the ban. What makes the us different?

It's not the same market, in the us they don't like for things to be shoved down their throat.

I honestly don't think it makes that much of a diff. For example bp charted on the hot100 & bb200 in 2018 without ever going to the u.s, no american label nor tv appearance

The US is the biggest market in the world, music-wise, so that can be worth it.

I definitely do think BTS gained a lot of US ARMY by promoting in the US, and same thing for Blackpink, after their collab with Selena.

For other groups... I don't know. The thing is, in a lot of ways, a lot of promotion that kpop groups do in the west is only going to be watched by people who are ALREADY kpop fans.

Nothing.

US fans

promotion in US only works when the group has already achieved something organically

well us is the biggest music market in the word, all the biggest artists are from the us. and companies want that too

What do groups gain from US promos?

umm...Global artist of the year. BTS wouldn't have been no. 1 without breaking into the US market.

Mainly bragging rights tbh. Most of the groups who can do well in the West can do so without promo tbh.

But did they break into the market bc of us promos or it came naturally as they gained fans ww?

Without promos, nobody can break into any market. Especially if they aren't native.

We'll see more if/when concerts come back around. BTS and BP growth compared to 2019 will be a sight, not sure about the rest of kpop though.

How did US promos affect bts/bp career? I’m not familiar with bts but bp certainly grew after switching it up with ktl and later the album.. was it natural growth or can it be attributed to US promos?

Both bp and bts had demand so US promos make sense. Other kpop groups have no such demand mostly.

Nah. You won't be able to the growth from concerts even if it does happen.

BTS will go on performing at stadiums like their last few concerts.

BP still aren't big enough for stadiums. So they'll keep performing in arenas like before.

In this case, other data will be better.

The US has the biggest music market in the world and one of the biggest countries as far as population goes. I think popularity in the west would give them room to branch out instead of staying regionally or domestically. I guess, probably my only viable explanation...otherwise idk
