While KPop is blinded by the MHJ circus, another ominous development against KPop is brewing.
Shaboozey, whose background is the Igbo people in Nigeria, started as a rapper but changed to country-style music.
BTS' greatest achievement is ending the huge transformation of Pop towards Hiphop and R&B which began in early 1990s.
BTS' defeat of Cardi B's Wap in 2020 is a decisive victory, even though the way things are going BTS seems to be headed for St. Helena.
When Edward Creasy compiled the 15 most decisive battle, with a very heavy English bias, he counted Waterloo as one of the most decisive but later historians, with less English bias, count Austerlitz, which ended the Holy Roman Empire, to be no less decisive.
BTS killed the hiphop and R&B domination, which is ironic since initially Bang wanted to form a hip hop act , and although the members changed from what Bang had in mind originally, BTS' leader was called Rap Monster until Nov 2017.
However, with BTS ending the domination of the rap, hiphop and R&B genre, people who followed them had to make a transformation, like Shaboozey above who decided to combine rap with country music.
Like the Weeknd, who decided to transform Pop with R&B influences, Shaboozey now transforms Country Music with Rap influences.
When BTS returns, it will face the Grand Coalition of not only Pop and Country, but also Rap infused Country.
Post Malone, who arranged an alliance with Taylor Swift and also Morgan Wallen, will try allying with Shaboozey sooner or later, and it is possible all four could join forces to meet BTS in later 2025 or early 2026.
Whatever Bang and the staff dealing with BTS might be thinking, it is now clear that Country Music will be the nemesis of BTS.
