Have been a SMAP fan since 1995 and always wondered why Japanese actors/musicians were not bigger globally as I love loads of Japanese entertainment since the mid 70s until now. There ate loads of great Japanese entertainment history since the 1950s/60s until now. I feel that a great chance has been missed up until BTS came into play which I attribute to Kusanagi Tsuyoshi as he was learning Korean and going to Korea since the early 2000s. I hope that more established Japanese musician/artists become more global.😊 BTW, my Japanese hubby is the best whatever he looks like.
If you ask me I don't think BTS member so cute or handsome. I assume that they might be popular because asian girl/teenage just following they're friend's idola. Because here in Indonesia so much BTS army. I am not hate them, more like confuse why teenage so easy to love or crazy about their Idol.
