bp did not blow up simultaneously with bts in the west. bts' breakthrough was first and yg was quick to shove bp into any and all of the cracks left by bts that bp could fit in. i think both groups are perfectly capable of simultaneously existing in the western market at the same time and having careers that have nothing to do with each other. but i personally think bp swiftly rode bts' curtails into the u.s in the onset of all of this. bts was already cracking in in 2016/17. bp had just debuted. dudududu came out in 2018 which im sure is the song many would say was their "western breakthrough".
Is there proof of this? Like genuinely asking.
