i believe kpop export was carried by BTS and blackpink, both of which went on hiatus, aged (just like their audience), or basically quit since around covid. other big groups that lagged behind them are also aging. with boygroups in particular its tricky because they typically need a replacement group for a young audience, i cant even imagine how to market that.
also Newjeans was getting very popular with a somewhat new direction music-wise and might have revived kpop but got destroyed due to internal company politics.
