I hope to see this grow again.

Wow, that's a helluva profile picture to go with for a thread resurrection lol.

Did you see them in concert recently?

I think K-Pop has grown immensely in the last decade or so since this thread started. I think my first awareness of K-Pop like many was probably Gangnam Style but i didn't see it as more than a meme moment at the time. How funny to think now that my regular playlists are full of K-Pop from BTS, Twice, Le Sserafim, Stray Kids, Ateez, New Jeans and a bunch of others.

The fact they also have a lot more music now with an internationally catchy beat and English promotions with proper translations available probably helped a lot. It actually also helped the K-drama wave moved in tandem and some of my favourite foreign shows to now watch are the K-dramas.

Japanese anime was probably the biggest dominating thing i had exposure to beforehand though and the J-pop songs from there probably make it a much easier transition too into K-pop.

I made this thread below as a general discussion type place but looks like this section doesn't get much traffic except specific threads, so it's basically been a ghost town with no replies after mine.
