The number one band of K-pop in 2012 had a member who was a non-Asian foreigner and Korean pop music scene hardly made a fuss about it. No way aint nobody got time for that. Yes my whole group works together to write songs.
Asian Boss had the chance to meet the first Indian K-Pop Idols.
Thanks to Sid and Priyanka for sharing their stories. But Busker Buskers success is still a significant data point. I completely disagree kpop which means korean pop is a genre of music yes it stands for korean but if an non asian were to join it wouldnt change as long as they know about the culture people from around the world who arent asian dream they know they would get hate but they still try there are no rules that you have to be asian to be an idol which is why more agencies are starting to have more global auditions. That should have answered the question before it even made its way to the Koreans inbox.
