But BTS broke the ice; it is not the ice," Phil Quartararo, CEO of Tripod Partners, said in a press conference on the sidelines of MU:CON, the biggest K-pop fair in South Korea. "For BTS, it was opening the door. We can send a lot more behind BTS ... I believe there will be plenty of other opportunities for big artists that command this market very, very well," he said. According to Quartararo, K-pop in general develops music's three core elements -- rhythm, melody and harmony -- very well, fascinating the fan-driven U.S. pop market better than other genres like EDM, hip hop or Latin. "The fact that makes K-pop rave, it's not that it's Korean or it's pop. It works because it's good," he said, adding that "I hope to see not only K-pop ... but also K-rock and K-country." "As long as these [K-pop] companies continue to produce quality, hit music, you will always remain competitive ... there's no constraints on what K-pop can do or should do," he added.
