(From K-POP News)
"Shiroi Koibitotachi" was the theme song for the 1968 Grenoble (France) Olympics.
I don't know what kind of competition there was and what kind of stars there were, but the melody of Francis Lai's "Shiroi Koibito" has always stuck in my ears and I still scat it in my mouth.
The word "K-POP" is dancing in articles summarizing the Pyeongchang Olympics from countries around the world, such as the United States and Russia. The Korean Olympics are told from the perspective of K-POP.
I feel that the PyeongChang Olympics was a good timing for South Korea, where K-POP became a hit and became known to the world as a country equal to K-POP. I don't know how many people watched the Olympics on TV. However, K-POP fans scattered all over the world were able to imprint the famous scenes of each competition relatively easily in their minds along with the music that was playing at the venue.
The K-POP fever that is spreading to Japan and the rest of the world shows no sign of cooling down even after the new year.
The Boys are aiming for the United States to follow BTS, and the influential groups are continuing to compete.
Since they are forming a high tide, the boys who have fought their way to the top will likely receive more attention than ever before. I feel that the current trend is following the momentum without any wonder even if a boy who is more in the spotlight than last year's BTS comes out.
It is impossible to predict which group of boys will benefit from this momentum.
However, when it comes to girls, only TWICE comes to mind.
In Korea, TWICE, Red Velvet, BLACKPINK, MOMOLAND, GFRIEND, etc. may change their ranking depending on the hit of their comeback song.
However, when it comes to Japan, TWICE's dominance has become clear. Why don't Red Velvet and BLACKPINK enter full-scale activities?
Then MOMOLAND and GFRIEND believe in the boom and debut in Japan, but now that TWICE has eroded fans in their teens to 30s, it seems to be a "Cao Cao's chicken ribs" situation. Even if there are some loyal fans left, it's hard to get away from money just by talking about it. Sales will be a known high result.
If they were to defeat TWICE, who was in a state of winning the first move, MOMOLAND would have a slight possibility. You probably won't win in sales. However, there is a possibility that their music will gain popularity through their activities in Japan, and strengthen their ability to spread around the world.
In developed countries, K-POP is still popular among young people in their 20s, but in emerging countries (other than Europe and the United States), the popularity of K-POP spread through young people is becoming more family-oriented.
It can be said that even if the sound source or record does not sell well, in other words, even if it is not reflected in the numbers, it is likely that there will be a phenomenon that will lead to popularity.
Momoland's music is already becoming quite popular in emerging countries, isn't it?
TWICE's "Candy Pop" was a strategy of jumping into the living room, targeting teens (grandfather's bosom?).
The world of TWICE, which has conquered the living room, will not be shaken for a while.
