    That's true. I always feel as though the Latin American market gets ignored by the English-speaking Kpop fans even though it's such a big market.

I remember the biggest Latin Kpop channel on Youtube that I knew of was ZanyTV, with plenty of second-tier groups making appearances on there to connect to their Latin fans. But they kinda stopped during CoVid.

    The fans are there. They're not perhaps as newsworthy as stuff happening in the U.S., but it's still a sizable market.
