Sunmi Calls BTS Over the Wonder Girls as a Road Opening Group for K-Pop Success in America and the World. That Speech Triggered Various Comments From Fans.

Sunmi conducts exclusive interviews with Billboard in the middle of his world tour concert titled "Warning". He discussed the beginning of his career with the Wonder Girls where their world tour was a success in 2010.

In interviews, the Wonder Girls were called to open the way to K-Pop success in the world. But Sunmi apparently didn't agree. The 1992-born singer called Bangtan Boys (BTS) what made K-Pop music more recognized in the world.

Sunmi's comments about BTS apparently sparked debate among K-Pop fans. Many do not agree with Sunmi's words. They call the second generation K-Pop groups such as Super Junior, TVXQ, Girls' Generation and others who open the K-Pop path in western and world countries.

"This is why BoA continues to be the superior and most popular soloist in South Korea. I think Sunmi doesn't understand what the word 'basic' means. He, Wonder Girls, BoA, Psy, SNSD and others help K-Pop become known in the United States. they made K-Pop enter Billboard. They built the basis for the success of BTS and Black Pink here, "commented American fans.

But some other fans actually support Sunmi and his views on K-Pop's popularity in the world. "Sunmi has been in this industry for 15 years. She is a graduate of drama, good at speaking English and active on Twitter. It's insulting to tell her how the industry works and acts as if she doesn't understand the questions that were asked to her. Please respect her," defended fans.

"Sunmi once thought about the difficulty of female singers struggling in the music industry and how much they suffered and the hard work she did, but at that time you were silent. Now because she talks about BTS, you immediately blaspheme her by saying she doesn't recognize the Wonder Girls," commented another.

"The way you treat Sunmi with racism, insults his views on the music industry by saying that he doesn't understand the question even though he understands English. You just don't want to admit that BTS paves the way for K-Pop success in the world," concluded another.

Previously, Jihyo Twice also said the same thing about BTS while attending the Los Angeles KCON last year. He thanked BTS for giving them a chance to be better known. K.A.R.D has also praised BTS for the same reason and called them motivations for other groups.
