Although K-Pop has strengthened in the United States, many music critics predict that it will be difficult for other K-Pop groups to be as successful as BTS in the next few years. The popularity of other K-Pop groups does not guarantee that they will get a place there.

Jeong Deok Hyun, a pop culture critic, said, "BTS, which guarantees the achievements for each of their albums and has a solid fandom in the United States, is an exception for other K-Pop singers. It's hard to say that K-Pop shook the whole the United States market simply because it has entered the music market there.In fact, it would be right to say that they are aware of K-Pop to some extent.When the English-speaking singer pop market makes them saturated, the desire to listen to various music has grown, and this is interpreted as the result of an era in which music from various cultures coexisted. "

Many netizens agree that for now, America only recognizes BTS music even though K-Pop's popularity has strengthened. But other netizens argue that the power of BLACKPINK is also not less than the group fronted by RM (Rap Monster) and his friends.

"I'm glad BTS and BLACKPINK are doing well there, why are you comparing them? I hope they make a lot of foreign currencies!"

"BLACKPINK is good, but it's hard for them to succeed in the United States because they don't make their own songs. I can confirm that BTS has succeeded there. The important thing is that BTS produces their own songs and conveys their message to the world. BTS is different from the existing K-Pop group. "

"I'm a fan of BTS and BLACKPINK, but to be honest, in the United States and European markets, there's no denying that BTS is at a higher level than BLACKPINK."

"BTS is a top star that emerged after decades in the world. It's BTS-Pop, not K-Pop."

"Why do people deny BLACKPINK's achievements? Because BLACKPINK is only popular in Asia? Aren't they the top group after BTS?"

"It will be very difficult to have artists who are as successful as BTS in the US music market in the next few years."

"Please note that in the United States, BTS is not recognized as K-Pop. Americans are only interested in BTS, not K-Pop."

"I'm a BTS fan, but I really support BLACKPINK. Why are you comparing the male group with the female group? Please stop."

"BTS is in another class. Period."

"To be honest, I don't see anyone rocking the US market other than BTS."
