Kpop (2004-present) google trends. 2nd gen started it all.

2009 was the boom of Hallyu Wave outside of Korea. It was also the rise of internet access with many internet cafe around
Sorry Sorry was a massive hit in South East Asia, Gee was also massive. 2008 songs such as Nobody finding popularity again in 2009.
I remember that time people were selling notebooks for school with SJ and SNSD member faces on the cover

kpop started gaining traction in the west and thus, the quest for western validation began

2009 the Kpop sound changed and became much more interesting for international ears compared to the 4 years before. Nowadays people would call it the beginning of a new generation XD but back then it continued to be the same Gen like 2004-2008, that’s why the new shift isn’t seen clearly if you didn’t lived through it..

Lol the only clear answer is SNSD Golden Hits
Gee - Genie - Oh! - Hoot - Run Devil Run help to solidify Kpop presence in Asia market, until today the most dedicated part of most Kpop fandoms, and introduce Kpop to the world
SJ's Sorry Sorry and WG's Nobody hit big, but it's just one-hit wonder songs like Momoland's Bboom Bboom as Wonder Girls tries to break into US and SJ's songs after Sorry Sorry doesn't have much impact

I missed 2nd gen

SNSD Gee and Super Junior Sorry Sorry were massive hits across Asia, creating a Hallyu Wave were ripples were felt even in Europe and the Americas

It means that kpop was not significantly more popular worldwide pre-2010 that Google trends error margin.

hmm fair. I also think that korea uses Naver instead of google, meaning it would be kpop was nonexistent in the west.
