TWICE and BTS ranked as the top 5 most popular Korean artists in Japan

Posted by sl278838 pts Monday, October 21, 2019

Korea is definitely taking over the global music scene by a storm. 

A recent survey done by Yahoo Japan showed that TWICE and BTS (2) ranked in the top 5 most popular artists in Japan based on Twitter mentions in 2019. TWICE (5) notably beat out AKB48 (6) as well. Other notable artists include SHINee (18), IZ*ONE (20), and Seventeen (14), all placing in the top 20. 

What do  you think of these results?

  1. BTS
  2. IZ*ONE
  3. Seventeen
  4. SHINee
  5. TWICE

The fact that Twice is girl group AND a Kpop group at that, ranking this high against local groups/artists, shows how big they really are in Japan.
