Remarks:
This came out in 2018, hitting the top ten in China, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore and their native South Korea. It is currently the most watched K-pop song on YouTube with 1.8 billion views as of May 29th 2022. That means there are still people alive today who have never seen it. Some of them even have Internet service. Blackpink (블랙핑크) has six videos with over a billion views. Taylor Swift, to compare, has five, Beyonce has one, “Halo” (2009). Of course, this song pales before “Baby Shark” (2016), with 10 billion views at last count.

As this is a african american oriented blog
im disappointed
are we to assume that a billion view means its worth your / our time and attention.
I would like to see as much glamour and innovation from something out of africa or the diaspora featuring african females
as it is I just see some white asians who we are supposed to be economically and culturally subservient to.

I put this up because of Asian American History Month. They are not American, but their music certainly seems to be heavily Americanized. It is not like rap music came from Asia.
