Have you noticed the way Dimash answers the question of how he became so popular (i.e. global fans)? My funny bone gets tickled when Dimash says he doesn't know.
At other occasions, he made comments referring to how lucky he is, mentioning there are others with more talent but he seems to have the good fortune to have his Dears.
Today I decided to find out if other people have discussed the topic of how artists get (or don't get) fandoms and I found an interesting chat in Reddit.
Link to Reddit thread : https://www.reddit.com/r/popheads/comments/f1dw8b/why_do_some_artists_develop_dedicated_fanbases/
Here are two thought-provoking comments.
The artists with dedicated fanbases either has/had a fresh/unique sound in the landscape at their time, or an interesting personality or backstory that many people are interested in or can relate to, which makes them want to root for said artists because they want the artist to succeed.
I think artists with the most dedicated stans just somehow capture a particular feeling, ethic, or aesthetic, or have a certain kind of idiosyncratic personality that feels very "them" and can't really be gotten elsewhere.
Personally, I think it's because of the distinctive combo of bel canto, adorable quirky (sometimes goofy) personality and determined focus on his mission (to make the world a better place!). A beguiling TKO for ears, eyes & hearts open to Dimash!
