I don't even know what SKZ wants the most, achievement-wise. They treat even a win on Show Champion as a Daesang

This is Kpop and the artists are Korean. It's interesting they would say that.

I remember when the PD of produce x 101 mentioned he would want the group to be the next to chart on billboard... And then he ruined the boys careers.

lol true. you have a newly debuted group mentioning billboard charting as their comeback goal in interviews.. like please chart on your home country first

Everyone wants that western validation now i guess

insightful

So BTS is 4th generation now?

BTS paved the way. Whatever BTS achieves internationally becomes the next group's dream.

- BTS was mocked for the "Paper Award". A year later, Kpoppies celebrates their Idols being nominated.

- BTS mocked for wanting to chart on the Billboard Chart and called it chasing Western Validation. Now, Kpoppies are closely monitoring the Billboard Chart whenever there's a comeback.

- BTS working to get a Grammy nomination and being hopeful to win was looked down upon as "begging". Now, Kpoppies jump for joy at the mere mention of Grammy eligibility.

How many 4th gen groups charted on billboard hot 100?

It's becoming more and more common for Kpop artists to hit Billboard charts so it makes sense. Obviously, throw in the amount of success BTS has had over the years - more and more groups are seeing it as a potential reality.
