Why is there this massive fake push for kpop shit?
It's not fake.
Kpop is immensely popular in India, which messes with the numbers. Like, all of your western conceptions of what is normal goes out the window the second something becomes popular in New Delhi, the metro with the population of Texas.
I know for certain that Kpop's biggest market is urban India, which is the third largest market for Twitter after the USA and Japan. If trending is being deskewed, it wouldn't surprise me at all for Kpop to trend.

Why is it popular in India? You think Indian twitter wasn't manipulated in the same way?
If it remains viral then it only means that the Indian's are chugging the Kool-Aid on their own. Tends to happen a lot there.
Considering Elon terminated all of Indian twitter, it might be interesting to see what the situation there is without manipulation.
Similar tastes. Kpop has caught on as an alternative to Bollywood.
The language barrier isn't such a barrier to being popular in a country with something like thirty state-recognized languages.
I hate to defend the old Twitter here, but this is why they had to change how their listed trends worked.
For many years, if trends were completely organic 100% of the time, the list would be nothing but K-pop shit. The fans were THAT rabid.
Your saying it came from India makes this make a lot more sense.
That is my suspicion.
