BTS truly deserve the top spot. Many of their Japanese releases are my faves.

I didn’t know Shinee is big in Japan, that’s great to know.

Quote from onlyfacts

BTS haven't even put a foot in Japan for around 3 yrs now. 'Dynamite' made them the biggest currently active musicians in Japan. Their Japan leg of next tour is going to be historic....

It's interesting to see how their future concerts will look, but base on demands, it will be massive! 🥰

TVXQ and Big Bang though
