Ah no it's ok , I was typing my response having other people from this thread in my mind actually ...and that one sentence about the debt lmao
I still don't think the companies would be in the debt (if we are talking bout the big 3) if it wasn't for BTS and Black Pink
The 2nd gen was doing crazily well after all and Red Velvet and Twice are no joke either even though they haven't expanded to west as much as BP and BTS
Tbh I'm not even a fan of any 4th gen group , the youngest group I stan is Black Pink lmao , but the condescenfing attitude of Blinks and Armys towards the younger groups expanding to the west just irks me a lot (I don't mean you )
The 2nd gen fans used to be real jerks about their faves "paving the way" for BTS and Black Pink , it used to be so annoying ....and now Blinks and Armys are doing the same and the cycle continues 
Humans don't learn
