BTS indeed succeeded in the US but K-pop as a genre is still f*cking f*cking f*cking minor in the West... Most of the inssas in the West are into hip hop and if they liked K-pop, they'd be either treated like an otaku or nobody would care about them. However, it's a fact that it's pretty popular in the East

Bangtan is popular, K-pop is not... in the West, most of the kids who like K-pop are either Korean or Asian. K-pop is only popular in China, Japan and SEA countries. But even in those countries, they are mostly interested in K-pop idols who are from their own countries. Groups with no members from their home countries aren't as popular

The way you guys feel about Russian or Indian singers is the way foreign kids feel about K-pop

But just like one of the comments below, it's true that K-pop would play often in the streets or shops in foreign countries. I live in Europe and if you went to a clothing store (like H&M or ZARA), you'd here at least 1 K-pop song. I even heard Merry-Go-Round (by Sokodomo) last time
