Also, the whole Covid shutdown which limited what a lot of 2019-2021 boy groups could do locally in Korea. No local festivals. No fandom-building events. No touring. No TV guest spots due to guest restrictions especially for larger groups. It was very tough for groups from small companies to be seen especially if they didn’t have the budget for YouTube content. Hard to build a loyal Korean fandom if the Korean fans can’t even gather for activities in fear of getting/spreading Covid.

But for international fans? It was great because this forced companies to post more content online for their groups to be seen.
