I like BP much more than BTS, but how is BTS not on this list? It's a bit fishy seeing two YG artists who aren't even close to BTS's level of global stardom and accomplishments be on the list. Yet, the group that's actually making an impact is absent. Makes no sense.

.

Also, if this is Asia we're talking about, Twice should've overtook BP, honestly. Having more Youtube views doesn't equal overall success. Obviously, BP is a successful group. But overall, I would say Twice is making way more of an impact in Asia than BP is. I mean, they're slaying the hell out of the 2nd biggest industry in the world in Japan in terms of Kpop acts. No group at the moment comes close to their sales and impact there and Forbes Asia isn't counting or acknowledging that?
