As K-Pop has become more popular worldwide, foreign idols have become more common than they used to be, though there still aren’t a lot. Popular non-Korean K-Pop idols such as TWICE‘s Sana, Mina, and Momo, or BLACKPINK‘s Lisa have helped to pave the way for foreign idols in the last several years, and it’s interesting to see the kind of diversity that people from other countries can bring to the music genre!
