If Lady Gaga was invited to the Olympics Opening Ceremony, why not Lisa or KPop's Senior Singer?

more popular than Lady Gaga? are you smoking meth?

You mean the French, who apparently can't tell the difference between North and South Koreas, are going to invite Kpop idols?

That apart, Kpop is a big deal only to its not inconsiderable fandom. But it is extremely difficult for it or any non-English/non-Spanish act to reach any IP i.e. the international public, casual listener.

Language remains a barrier.

That's the advantage Lady Gaga and likes will have.

English is the lingua franca, and whatever Kpop can try Dynamite or Butter, is not going to matter to Ambani or Olympic Committee.

There's no reason to set up Lisa like this. She's not even the best* singer named Lisa. Gaga is renowned and a great vocalist. The Olympics also needs all of the eyes it can get. Gaga can draw a bigger crowd of the demographic that matters.

Lisa is too busy making album and acting in her own company. Maybe senior artist can follow her steps if she's brave enough

We're comparing Lisa & IU to Lady Gaga now?

Be serious for once.

People must stop pretend that kpop is something big in the rest of the world outside the kpop bubble. Sure sure, among the youth maybe it have it place. But among people +25? I mean, sure I'm +40 and know about kpop and some artists, but that is not the normal. People maybe have heard and read about kpop, but they don't know any arists or have ever listen to kpop, or maybe they have on radio or something without knowing it.

Kpop arist should happy if they are allowed to performe in their own Olypmpics as CL did.

It was for the best. The opening ceremony felt all over the place.

I felt kinda the same way...

I’m sorry but Lady Gaga is much more popular than any kpop act in France and in the world, among all ages!

No one knows IU outside of kpop, heck even kpoppies don’t know her that much.

For Lisa she should have at least one hit song like Seven, so she can be invited

It's the olympic games, no the kpop olympics .. why would they invite her to an international event instead of renowned singers known worldwide ?

Just the question itself is cringe-worthy. Yes, K-pop is more popular than it used to be, but it is nowhere near as widespread globally as pop music. Come back down to earth.

You're smarter than this oppar

I honestly do think a kpop artist will perform one day

when seoul hosts

But french people are terrible in english.

Quote from Roses-are-Rosie

But french people are terrible in english.

Yet, they know that they need English acts for their international events, in addition to French of course.

Supposing Olympics happens in S. Korea, then also there will be a major English components in addition to Korean.

But when it happens in Anglo-sphere, there will be only English acts.

That's the difference
