Getting to perform on Coachella, Grammy and other western events both in US and Europe? Taking photos with western celebrities and be on talk shows? Or do idols most want to have success in Korea and it's neigbourhood like Japan, China and SEA?
Is become famous in the west still a dream for most newly debuted Kpop idols?

Most aspiring idols probably just want success however they can get it. They're probably not thinking about where it comes from, although a Korean idol may not even be considering the possibility of success anywhere but Korea at first. That's likely going to be their default frame of mind, not "I want to be famous in the west."
That being said, American stardom in particular does tend to open the doors to international stardom more than anything else, even if this is probably more true for actors than singers, so a savy wannabe celebrity might still have their sights set on it for this reason alone.

well it depends
I would say that for someone like the chinese idols - success in China matters a lot more since that's where they will return to post contract negotiations - ie. their iron rice bowl
