NGG term is outdated - now kpop groups aim to be global idols aka world-class

only groups 2 are global and i doubt anybody in 4th gen will be big as bp and bts

Imo to be global u need to be recognized by the nation first 💀

Quote from bartkun

Which nation? 🧐

Well, koreans. Despite K-pop being global now, it’s still a niche and BTS and Blackpink are occupying those niches.

us, uk, etc. don’t have a concept of “rookies”. You’re a pop star or you’re not, tbh. It’s an even ground in the west, imo. And k-pop certainly do not have an avenue for indie artists the way R&B artists have.

But they are still known. I mean, I doubt the whole western industry would be hating on a nugu because they topped the charts.

Unfortunately unless they became males or have large corporations supporting them that won’t happen

And thats bp so look for your own one

omg wait I didn't even realize Jungshik had his own interview show! WHAT?

Do you have to be #1 to be a global group? I don't think so. If you gain enough fans and touring power internationally to be able to hold shows all over the world, then you're a global group.

good for them everybody should be able to dream big and find success
