GOT7‘s Jackson Wang was recently asked if he thinks K-Pop will last forever, and he gave the absolute best answer.
Jackson’s interviewer raised the question of whether or not K-Pop’s popularity would last. The interviewer asked,
“There’s an arena being built in Seoul specifically for K-Pop music. Popularity of genres is always changing. Will K-Pop last forever?”
Jackson said he believed K-Pop’s popularity would last because the genre is constantly evolving, and he pointed to fellow artists BTS and BLACKPINK as artists that are pushing K-Pop in an exciting direction.
K-Pop will definitely last forever. J-Pop will last forever. You never know what happens tomorrow, right? To me, I personally think it’ll keep evolving. I just wish that entertainment has nothing to do with any other stuff, because entertainment is entertainment and is supposed to make people happy. … Artists like BTS, like Blackpink, I respect them in art. The direction that they’re going, me as an audience watching, I’m proud.
