[Popular Culture Column] New Big Feature of Stray Kids and BTS


Many people didn't think that Stray Kids had topped the Billboard 200 again . Because their walk itself was a new challenge . Even NCT 127 and BTS had a genderless side . Because the masculinity was not emphasized, the femininity seemed to overlap . These aspects were also pointed out as a gay feeling that K-pop has been evaluated in the West . At least , the atmosphere of macho is not very welcome in Korea, so it was easy to think that if it was aimed at female fans, it would be the right direction .

It is clear that Stray Kids is also continuing the genealogy of the K-pop boy group in that they are moving away from the macho feeling . However , they are spicy and hot . Their dance is passionate and powerful . The masculine energy is well shown in the group dance . The dynamics and spicyness of K-Pop have been well exposed . Above all, such aspects are not realized in the top-down manner of agencies . The members themselves are creating and evolving . Based on autonomy, specialized content can be created because they share their own position and role . These points are a further upgrade to the achievements of BTS . In this context, it is not unusual for the boy group to become so popular in North America . Moreover, based on this, the multicultural, multiracial fandom is expanding all over the world . They are like ' Blackpink ' embodying a new role model as a new female idol .It is not appropriate to apply the word “uniform printed product” to them .

[talk about bts, omitted]

Moreover, K-pop does not depend on the fact that BTS does not promote as a whole . The situation where Black Pink and Stray Kids topped the Billboard 200 one after another shows this . K-pop is now positioned as a brand rather than being governed by a group, and it should be . As we saw in the KakaoTalk disaster situation, the strategy of dispersion and diversification beyond concentration and concentration is the key energy for K- content .
