Youth music is going global as K-Pop breaks onto the U.S. charts. BTS’s latest hit, Fake Love, debuted at number 10 on Billboard’s Hot 100 and its music video amassed over 35 million views. The group also sold out their first U.S. stadium in minutes, paving the way for other K-Pop bands and conventions (Kcon had 125,000 attendees this year). Aoki, who has collaborated with BTS, thinks streaming is driving the globalization of music by giving fans “such a large voice.” (Rolling Stone)
