If you are not from big3/ someone with popularity = sajaegi.
It is so sad that korean themselves only recognized "brand name" end up creating unfriendly music environment that is exclusive.
It's true that there is always possibility of chart manipulation, but accusations mostly goes to those with less power.
If kpop want to go international, there are lot of problems they should resolve to get global recognition.
