Is aespa only popular in korea and china?

I actually don't know how SM is always failing to catch the attention of the general ifans while YG and JYP seems to do it very easily

lmao not y’all basing thing on social media this group is lit months old and they are still establishing presence in Asia but they managed to gain hundred millions of view on their mv something that 3rd gen girl groups managed to gain on their 4th year debut so yea. “establishing presence” but you can’t deny that they are almost there

Yes, BTS are literally the only widely known kpop group, nobody in the west knows aespa.
