As the Australian rule of KPop intensifies, Stray Kids, whose leader and chief producer is Australian (despite of the inconvenient fact that he was born in Korea), is set to become the leading act of KPop .
Seventeen has shot its last bolt. Its core members, Woozi and Hoshi, are going to enlist this year and they are going to spend their last days before enlistment on their own activities, and BSS will make what looks like their final comeback since by the time Soonyoung returns Boo Seungkwan will probably have to enlist.
So, there is no one who can stop SKZ, which has 25 stadium dates in the Americas and Europe, before its probable comeback and a tour of warmer Southeast Asia and Australia later this year.
Since there won't be any SVT albums, SKZ will be the best selling act of 2025, and it will win at all major Grand Prizes.
There are rumors that BTS would come back in late this year but chances are it will be 2026 since some members will still be running their own schedules before.
And, frankly speaking, BTS cannot engage SKZ directly now, since if BTS is defeated it is the end for it.
Those who argued that BTS should enlist probably could not see Australians ruling KPop, but that is what it is.
Christopher Bang, who doesn't really respect KPop (he refused to pay filial duty to the Senior Singer), would be very glad to knock BTS down.
