I understand your point and agree with the fact that kpop is losing the fandom it's built over the last 15-20 years (??) but mainstream-wise I think it's actually growing at a steady pace. Granted, I doubt we'll ever see a sharp rise like BLACKPINK and BTS had ever again, but to say that it's losing popularity as a whole is quite a broad statement. Look at the success NewJeans have had within half a year of debuting. Having the most monthly-listeners over any other female group (currently sitting at 22 million), each member having been signed to at least one luxury brand, all but one song surpassing 100 million monthly streams on Spotify and becoming the fastest K-pop group in history to land multiple entries on Billboard's Hot 100. TWICE being the first female group to perform at the MetLife stadium. BORN PINK becoming the highest-grossing tour by an asian-female artist in history whilst Pink Venom and Shut Down both debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 200. Jungkook having released a song for the world cup that peaked at #1 on US Digital Song Sales.
All of the above are events that are yet to/have happened within the last year or so. As afore mentioned, I do understand your point. I just think it's a bit of a stretch and, whether intentional or not, is undermining the success of the current groups dominating the industry and beyond. Just because we won't see a replica of BTS's success does not mean that kpop's mainstream popularity has died out.
