People focus too much on the hallyuwave and like I said, I didn't get into kpop if I wanted to stan global popularity. I already stan American artists who are global enough and I give no fucks about that, let alone if my faves in kpop ever get known in the states.
As for everyone trying trying to make it globally, not everyone is dumb enough to debut in a market they're not familiar with or think they're familiar with. SNSD, Wonder Girls, 2NE1, JYJ, BoA, Se7en have tried and are trying. 2NE1 is closest thing to happening, I guess, but hardly.
Psy is going to dominate most of the ASIAN awards this year, and then he'll go back to just being an artist that is respected and everyone will be quiet until he makes another comeback. Kpop fans don't really focus on soloists, moreso the competition relies more on the groups.
i'm sorry, but the Korean/Asian scene copy, copy, copies each other and everyone else. I think Psy's over (many) seas success will impact/reshape the entire Asian industry. And there has been no interest in solo artists because there hasn't ever been anyone as big as Psy (not even Rain or BoA, tbh) Maybe, he will open the door for everyone else, maybe he'll get kicked back out and the door will be barricaded (very likely! LOL) behind him? But he's a one man Girl's Generation in Asia, now, basically. Every song he drops will be a hit all over Asia, IMO.
