“You have to sing in Korean to call it real K-pop”

In the music industry recently, there has been a debate on whether a group without Koreans can really be called a K-pop group. BLACKSWAN, a group like this, said, “If you show great songs in Korean, that’s K-pop.“

The theqoo article regarding this became a hot topic with over 36,000 views as of the evening of June 14th. Below are some comments from Korean netizens.

• Their songs are addictive.
• Aren’t BTS’ English songs such as “Dynamite” and “Butter” also called K-pop?
• Anything made by Korean agencies is K-pop lol
• They’re better than XG. Their pronunciation is good, too.
• All of them are foreigners, right? It’s amazing.
