K-pop sensations like BTS, Blackpink and Red Velvet have taken over the global music scene. BTS’ new album Map of the Soul:7 has now produced more Hot 100-charting hits than any Korean-language release which is a really impressive achievement. Red Velvet’s latest release ‘Psycho’ was sure a bop that ruled Korean music charts and received a lot of international support.
