But are the songs they write being sung in English? Bad Bunny and BTS are the only ones whom I've seen, and BTS had to put out an all English, very dumbed down song in order to even crack the top 10. The 300+ songs they've put out in Korean have been top sellers and streamers all over the world, but radio won't play them. Of course, their company won't pay to play either. But their music is very eclectic, from rock to hip hop to ballads to EDM to pop, there isn't a genre they haven't covered. And their songs are about relevant issues, mental health, self love, racism, even the educational system. Yet they are just dismissed by the Western music industry, even openly mocked.
