I'm fucking shookt

 

edit: im actually quite surprised about the little exposure kpop (actually bts cos they're so popular among college students, and i'm not sure about others) considering the enormous presence of bollywood and other countless entertainment industries that blossomed throughout the years such as tamil, telugu and marathi etc film industries. kpop is nowhere near bollywood and the others which are deeply rooted within the huge variety of indian culture but i'm happy to see the progress bts is making. i have my faith on them to do something revolutionary cos they're quite an anomaly. kpop most likely won't become a niche but bts alone can and will gain more fans and popularity with the rate they're going.

Omg bts is coming to conquer India!

Serious question, I wonder how kpop is perceived in india? How significant/big is kpop there? What groups are famous there? Any indian kpop fans here on OH care to shed some light?

 

Edit just to shout. BTS on the front page baby!!!

Its not popular at all, I am Indian and very few knows or listens to Kpop

about 0.001%, though N.E and S.  has more fans, but relatively its too less

 

EXO, BTS, are popular here

P.S I am from West bengal

I'm from Bangalore, India, and BTS are quite literally famous at least amongst college students. The class that I sit in, has BTS doodles all over the tables and chairs. I see so many girls wearing BTS hooded and merchandise. It's not a lot, but you can see quite a lot of Army's. I've not seen any other group's merchandise except perhaps 1 or 2 girls wearing EXO jerseys. It's pretty cool to see honestly.

Thanks for answering. Yeah I have my suspicion that it is not big since we rarely even heard India being mentioned when there are talks about kpop. But nonetheless, even a fraction of 1.3 billion is still a huge market to get into, and India is almost uncharted territory as far as kpop is concern. This could be huge for BTS I'm tentatively excited!  ahmagahplz.png

I'm from India and I'll have to admit that kpop Doesn't have much presence here, like not atleast in my city.. Of course there are kpop fans (more so amongst school and college students) here and there but not enough that kpop could be a culture here or come anywhere near Bollywood. Bollywood is still ruling the entertainment space here.

I am currently studying in Bangalore but I come from North-East India where Hallyu is really really big like you won't believe that it is actually called mini Korea. As much as we can't deny the fact that Hallyu can't dethrone Bollywood we also can't completely ignore it's growth here.

Also it's the same story here, EXO & BTS are the most popular here.
