Korean music industry still on the rise thanks to K-pop FMTNews FMTLifestyle
PARIS: The South Korean cultural wave has long since spilled over the country’s borders, but it now seems unstoppable. In fact, sales of K-pop albums continue to rise on the international market.
This reflects the genre’s growing popularity in the world’s leading music market, as does the dominance of several K-pop groups in the American music charts.

It was a dire warning that certainly echoed the BTS band’s decision to split in June 2022 so that each of its seven members could focus on their solo careers.
