Given BTS is the first group since the Beatles to have three number one albums within a year, I would say K-Pop (or at least BTS) will be growing with popularity (or perhaps we're at the peak of K-Pop here in the U.S.).

What do you all think?

Here's some BTS if you want an idea of K-Pop, first two are full English:

Butter (youtube.com)

Dynamite (youtube.com)

Boy with luv (ft. Halsey) (youtube.com)

The Koreans have been trying to break K-poop in the States for a decade +, with little avail.

The short answer is no, for multiple reasons.

The music is intentionally 10+ years behind American music, so that it already sounds familiar to people. The bands/acts are all impossible to relate to for most of the potential audience, and the fans...

oh, my the fans.

K-pop stans are the dumbest, most easily led creatures you'll meet. They reminded me of cult members.

The industry of K-pop is as creepy as you'd expect, as well.

*I worked on several large K-pop marketing projects as a third party back in 2010-2013 - huge potential for it, but it never gained traction with US audiences, no matter what they did.
