I'm not an army. I think BTS is amazing though and anyone who says BTS hasn't paved the way for kpop in the mainstream market is delusional. I live in South Africa. The only reason I knew about kpop was because I worked in SK as an English teacher for a couple years. Even in 2017 people in my country had no idea what kpop was nor did they know where Korea was. But today people in South Africa know BTS, they know about South Korea, they even show a kdrama on our public broadcasting network. This all started with BTS popularity. No other group or artist has ever done this from Korea. If BTS created that much exposure for not just kpop but Korea in general in South Africa of all places, they definitely paved the God damn way.

She had to put the definition because kpop stans say "BTS didn't pave the way, it's xx bc they invented lightsticks and photocards". Also when she said Psy is a one hit wonder, she is talking about him globally. In Korea of course he isn't and have had many hits, but globally aside from maybe gentlemen that was pretty popular (nowhere near as popular as Gangnam Styles tho, but still had a pretty big international présence a for a kpop song), he is considered a one hit wonder anywhere outside of Korea.

If I was one of the big three in kpop I would feel some type of way too. BTS and BIG-HIT built a juggernaut company off their success and did it in less than 10 years. Fast forward to 2022 can anybody with a straight face say that HYBE isn't the best K-POP company because these new groups debuting under HYBE LABELS is straight fire 🔥🔥🔥. It has gotten to a point where i only listen to a few K-POP groups outside of HYBE because the groups inside the label are so good. In my humble opinion K-pop is in good hands and this only builds better competition in the industry.

Nope 2nd generation of kpop has no factor to bts being a kpop band. Bec what they contribute to BTS? Nothing. BTS is created to be a hiphop group not even a kpop group. What people should given created for is Black culture. Majority of BTS music are inspired by black artists. Even the korean artists they look up aren't kpop idols but korean hiphop artist like Epik High, Tiger JK and the rest are hiphop artist. Just listen to their Hiphophile song. No 2nd kpop idols are mention. Also Bang pd never said he created bts bec of 2nd gen group. Weird how kpop stans keep pushing 2nd gen was important factor to bts. Like how? Bec as someone who listening to kpop since 2008. 2nd gen kpop musics are so different from bts music. The difference is so staggering. You won't see any kpop band like bts before them. The closer will be bap. Even bigbang songs trying to sound westernized are pure flexing.

this video reminded me of that whole thing a few years ago where all those agencies had a meeting to discuss about changing the law to allow kpop performers to be exempt from military service, and how although BigHit wasn't even at the meeting and how BTS have stated multiple times that they didn't want exemptions, BTS was used as the main reason as to why the law should be changed. And then all those agencies were pressed about how when the law did change, it would only really apply to BTS because they needed the Cultural Merit award and only BTS have achieved it. so in my opinion, they kinda shot themselves in the foot there. If they really wanted the law to change for their groups, they should mention their own groups impact and popularity, reasons why THEIR OWN group should be exempt, not reasons why BTS should.

[@VAngel876]

So many people talk about the BTS Universe as the "I Need You" HWYH Era on but I always say that to really know who BTS is you must listen to their first album the album that describes who they really were and how they started. Songs that really show who they are listen to songs like their first Cypher, No More Dream, then on the 2nd album, N.O, or If We Ruled the World, then the 3rd where they put Just One Day, Jump, then Danger, and most important Hip Hop Phile. All these songs were before HWYH before "I Need You". Those and many others were so important to know who BTS are.

[@crystalsnow1138]

I've heard BTS say they felt more like themselves on their later albums. I'm not saying those first few albums weren't them but they were so young and just starting out as a group, who knows themselves and the music you want to create when you are just 15-20 years old. I mean they watch their old music videos and cringe. I think the messages in their music was honest, but I definitely think as they grew as people and as artists the music became more of who they really are. Just my opinion.

[@VAngel876]

@@crystalsnow1138 They did grow as people, we all do.

The music was their music from the beginning so HipHop Phile was theirs, The Cyphers were theirs, there were songs they didn't like because others berated those songs, I think those songs more than any spoke of kids that were going thru puberty but what do I know. The fact that their HWYH period was the beginning of their winning I do not complain about but to say that their beginning were not formed by their listening to black music Hip Hop in general and R&B is wrong on its face.

So PSY, opened the door. Peeked in and slowly retreated, but here comes BTS, kicking that damn Door. The 7 Kings of Nobody, backed by loyal armies. 💜 And just a reminder.. Remember when BTS was ever first nominated for BBMA Top Social, how others kept hating, saying its just a paper award, that their idols do not need those..

Those who can never be truly happy for others or can never acknowledge others’ achievements, will get nowhere in life and it’s so damn true. Because if BTS managed to earn their place at the top of the industry even if they had nothing going for them at the start of their career, just proves that others’ fame or success is not what is stopping your’s…but instead one’s success comes down to how much work one chooses to put in. That being said, their fans have seen the sacrifices they have made and the amount of effort they have put in since day 1 ( while only focusing on themselves instead of always trying to downplay others ) BTS being successful is not what is stopping other artists from succeeding, but one thing that I can tell you is that all the negativity and anger that kpop fans are constantly throwing at BTS isn’t gonna get them or their favs anywhere either. BTS earned their title and place at the top of the industry and that has been set in stone, no one can take that away from them 💜👏

@@TheShadowsFearX I don't think they even got any of that Government money that was given to the rest of the Kpop Industry. The BTS lads were almost evicted from their tiny place as BigHit couldn't pay the rent anymore but the 3 Rappers went and said We are not leaving. It's touched on in their Book Beyond The Story.

People saying Kpop was a thing in Asian Country before BTS, Okay listen up, I grew up in southern Part of Asia,(Nepal, India, bangladesh. etc) In our part we had bollywood from India very popular and also our own music industry in our own language. KPOP was seen as a very weird thing, like only very few teen girls knew kpop, like maybe 1 in thousands, It was not at a topic. The first korean thing that came in was the drama Boys before Flower, I remeber buying CD to watch it as a young female. But there was no k music or kpop whatsoever, As far as I remember, Kpop started being a topic in my country after BTS, the first song I heard was dope, I started casually listening to their music without knowing them or their names. Around 2016 I moved to Australia and after 2017, I saw my friends and my own family(siblings) get into BTS. Like they started telling me about this group and how popular this thing have become back home in one year. I seriously satrated listening to BTS after that point, reading lyrics as it was very imporatnt for me. I had never stanned any artists prior to that but I got into the rabbit hole of BTS and got to know about kpop. It was around 2016/2017 when kpop started to become a topic in my part of world as well, So people saying Kpop was huge in Asia before BTS may not realize that ASIA is a big Continents and has more countries than Japan, Korea, thailand,Vietnam and The Philippines, BTS also introduced KPOP to the other part of ASIA, countries like INDIA, Nepal, Saudi Arabia and many more. I am tired of people thinking Kpop was big in Asia before BTS and excluding a whole part of Asia.

BTS are the only artists in SK that would still be relevant in the industry if they decided to disband.

Tbh if kpop groups , companies ( or Atleast mainly companies ) and fandoms would focus more on themselves then they would probably be huge or be close to being huge as them. Everyone too busy trying either copy them , they’re success, or wants to take them down but forgot they’re the guys help made kpop more known on the global mainstream level.

Psy was a one hit wonder. The only song people knew of him was Gangnam style and because of that people thought Korean music was just that and made it hard for many others to take Korean music serious because it became a joke after Gangnam style came out. That’s what I remember when that happened

[@nuhkyah23]

That's exactly true, there is a very small of group people who actually looked into him and discovered kpop but even when "that that" came out reactors would say oh its the gangnam style guy or they call him P-S-Y, not knowing the pronounication of his name. That one song is memorable but that's the definition of "one hit wonder".

[@meiong5206]

BTS paved the way not only in music but in how artists interact with fans, culture, and fandom. Army worldwide started to learn Korean through music, books, shows...etc. Other artists began to interact more with their fans through live shows. BTS are not just artists anymore, they are also humanitarian. There is no other fandom like army. Like seriously! Nobody is doing it like them and they chose to do it the right way. Honestly, we all know BTS deserve to be exempted more than anyonr in the music industry. They have done so much. The fact that they chose to go just show how much integrity they have.

[@LPnerd]

The kids in Korea were listening to BTS, but understand, BTS lyrics made them hugely controversial in Koea due to sociatal norms. Parents , schools, and some churches did not their kids listening to them. So BTS was more underground than you think in S. Korea. On top of that, the Make-up... OMG you would have thought them serial killers for the bite back they got for that. Together, BTS took a stand wore more make up and wrote lyrics about Liking girls. LOL plus RM and Suga's mixtapes went after those haters Hard. I wish I would have been there. But through their genius move of using social media, and chooseing to be themselves and give back to ARMY their music was being heard more and more, then weverse, run BTS, their shows, let people see what great guys they were and for me, in reading and researching their history, the BIG turning point was Burn the stage. Here are these talented guys, writing lyrics about hope and love and the endless possibilities that can bring to each of us, getting hate ? Then People who are tolorant, loving and believe in a global world started to notice their light, and WOW, here we are. All we needed was someone with a platform to stand up and say;" We See You, we believe this can be, and let's do it together." Here we are, speaking out with kindness, being careful with our words, asking questions about our differences because we all want to know each other. BTS. Bulletproof is right. 68 yrs old and I would follow them off a cliff.

[@iNinjaPickles]

I think a lot of pushback on the phrase is because toxic fans have weaponized this phrase as a way to discredit other artists. Especially those from earlier generations such as Big Bang. I think it's silly to compare because Big Bang have their flowers in a whole other way and they did not have social media to build their platform. It's like apples and oranges. Lol I'm a 1st/2nd generation fan, I've been into K-pop since it's niche times and to see it grow globally has been very interesting and super cool. I'm not a huge fan of BTS but they definitely deserve their flowers. They took the rise of social media and made it their advantage and created something great. Their presence has broken down a barrier for Asian music in general and that's so cool because representation matters. I think going forward and this is just my perspective, I kind of hope the fan culture of comparing groups successes in order to validate their favorite group dies out because these artists work their butts off to create their art. Just cheer on your favorites without being egotistical about it. Lol In the end it's just music and it's supposed to bring us all together and cross all boundaries. I hope we get to continue to hear more music in other languages on mainstream radio in the future.

Every genre of music has sprinkles of the music made before them. We should just appreciate the great music being produced. KPop. KJazz. KSoul.

I’m very happy that black music can influence and spread across the world. I also see that some (not all) kpop idols even know and acknowledge older black artists like Michael Jackson, Tupac and Biggie who are respected in the black music industry. I really love it a lot. I hope that more kpop idols get to know the history of hip hop and learn the beginning of their craft. I believe they should at least know the basics of the history of it like BTS did. It could possibly do wonders I also love kpop idols that don’t try to be like exactly like BTS. Like TxT and Stray kids. If they want to be as popular as BTS, it’s okay. But they can’t BE BTS and it’s nice they acknowledge that and respect them. ❤ I also see what you mean by the labels too. Labels are a big factor in almost EVERYTHING their artists do sometimes.

[@inningchannel552]

without adding more i think people can see how hard work bts did (and still) to get this achievements now. from my personal thought after knowing more bts. i think bts struggled more in their own country than in global to be known or big. why? because kpop industry formed their idol standard n system which different with outside korea. label creates idol image or rules so can be accepted n loved by fans which i know how fanatic korean fans can be. and mostly (i said mostly not 100℅), idols not being themselves n even if you didnt have 'wow' skill as long as you have 'idol beauty/handsome standard' then you're okay. Different with global fans or at least myself, i don't see 'look' as a priority. if person or group said hey we are a singer n dancer then what see is their music and dance skills. if they said hey we're model, then i will see they look, expression n body more. if idol is handsome n has great body than is a bonus. so what i see global fans see bts skills, hardwork and music first then others like personalities, looks etc. i like skorean entertainments (music, drama, movies, talkshows etc) also Their cultures but i never been a fan into 1 kpop idol or group. I like bigbang coz i like some of their songs but mostly coz i like gdragon and his musics n creativity. so i think, if labels wanna make their idol big like bts, they have to break their own rules to give more space for their artists to explore their creativities, skills and show more of their own personalities just how bighit did to bts. and always keep up with global trend. like bts use social media to promote and communicate with their fans which no other label could think before. oh just wanna add one thing, i love it when i saw bts members woke up with their bare and wake up face rather than see only when they already on make up coz it makes me feel they're human like me and it adds more connection in me. 💜🐣
