He was the first act to have a global hit but I don't think he opened the western worlds gate. No one was doing promos on those western shows till bts entered the market. Do u know that bts is not the first act to chart on social 50? 2pm is. But their entry didn't have any impact on other groups but after BTS the chart was by occupied by dozens of kpop acts. Look at BB 200 and companies inviting kpop idols to their shows and signing them under their companies after BTS'S sucess is the biggest evidence I don't get it why do u people still deny it. Compare the kpop of 2016 to that of 2022
No, he didn't, I was being silly when I said that.
There were artists before Psy that had some success over there, but people always ignore or try to deny those artists success. Then again, I don't live in the west so I can only go by the limited information I have seen.
I don't really care tbh, western success doesn't really matter to me, I just find it funny how people always seem to bring it up so I answer with silly answers.
