K-Pop has had a strong increase and influence in the Western Hemisphere in recent years; there is no doubt with groups such as Stray Kids, NewJeans, BLACKPINK, BTS, TXT, or TWICE strongly resonating on the different platforms of digital streaming.
However, there is a group that has been standing up for the genre in the most important chart in the United States, and it is none other than the members of SEVENTEEN, which is the group of artists that has not only managed to reach #5 on Billboard’s Global 200 chart with their compilation album ‘17 is Right Here‘, but also topped the iTunes Top Songs chart in more than 30 regions with their single ‘Maestro‘.
