Behind the scenes of K-POP sweeping the world charts-Korean export strategy- Even in the global ranking of "the most retweeted artists in the last 30 days" of the American economic magazine "Forbes", BTS, which is almost unknown at that time, ranked first, overtaking Kanye West and Justin Bieber. It was. In addition to this, tampering with the chart ranking of "Billboard", which is the most authoritative in the United States, has been pointed out, and the reliability of Billboard has been lost. The method of such tampering is to create an account for a music streaming service, send login information to fans in other countries via Twitter, various SNS, e-mail, etc., and the person who receives the information repeats streaming. Is given as an example. At that time, using multiple devices or using a VPN (Virtual Private Network), the viewer's location information is forged, pretending to be viewed in the United States. It is said that a group supporting BTS distributed more than 1000 accounts, and if it is judged that the chart is clearly fraudulent, it may be deleted from the chart. In fact, the former EXO KURIS, who made their debut in Japan with the single "Love MeRight ~ romantic universe ~" in 2015, has been removed from the billboard chart after being certified as illicit. There are also fierce opposition to the Korean side's push on SNS, such as this kind of cyber terrorism. At the opening of the London Olympics, when I took a questionnaire about the singers I wanted to sing, K-POP artists sometimes dominated the top ranks beyond the world-famous singers such as Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber.
