When he came to the topic of K-Pop, he specifically addressed BTS and BLACKPINK’s popularity and stated that it was “no joke”.

When I was filming, I joked around saying maybe I should have continued K-Pop. The popularity of K-Pop groups like BTS or BLACKPINK is no joke. Since they’re even up on the Billboard.
