โ€œDiss Track?โ€ K-Pop Fans React To Travis Scott, Bad Bunny, And The Weekndโ€™s New Song โ€œKPOPโ€

-

It has been announced that American rapper Travis Scott, Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny, and Canadian music artist The Weeknd (also known as Abel Tesfaye) have teamed up for a collaboration single.

This already sounds like it has the potential to be a musical fusion of cultures. Yet, the track is also titled โ€œKPOP,โ€ which sounds a lot like the name of a popular music genre from South Korea.

โ€œKPOPโ€ will be the first single from Travis Scottโ€™s new album UTOPIA. It drops on July 21.

The announcement of the singleโ€™s title naturally caught the attention of K-Pop fans worldwide. It was met with many mixed reactions. A lot were negative due to The Weekndโ€™s participation since many have grown a strong dislike for him due to The Idol. Many K-Pop fansโ€™ initial reactions were that the musicians chose to release a song called โ€œKPOPโ€ for clout.

Some had genuine speculations and theories on what โ€œKPOPโ€ would be like. Others were so curious that they planned to listen to it to find out the truth.

One common theory is that โ€œKPOPโ€ could be a diss track toward the music genre K-Pop. So, K-Pop fans have joked that it could potentially end fan wars and unify fandoms if Travis Scott, The Weeknd, and Bad Bunny say anything critical.

Yet, a few have wondered if it could just be a fun song with lots of wordplay, referencing K-Pop, including namedropping idol groups. So, K-Pop fans have guessed potential lyrics.

Honestly, this isnโ€™t a terrible guess, especially considering The Weekndโ€™s activity. He not only worked with BLACKPINKโ€˜s Jennie on The Idol, but he also gave a shoutout to NewJeans recently.

Still, the popular response to the collaboration announcement for โ€œKPOPโ€ was that it could be a diss track. Netizens, including โ€œlocalsโ€ or non-fans, have mixed feelings about it, though.

Yet, Korean netizens were even more upset over the cover art for โ€œKPOPโ€ due to its resemblance to the Japanese flag. Read more below.
