Those 3 older women are around my age! When the older people in Korea know (and are enthusiastic) about BTS, it is a good sign!

[@ashleyheywood6885]

A very good signnn

Oh, age is no factor!

[@patrice942]

Yeah, I like those three older ladies. I like their thinking and outlook. They also dress stylishly and is openminded which makes them seem younger and more energetic than their probable ages.

[@disly_strawhat]

Being proud Koreans is near and dear to their hearts so it makes me so happy that their fellow Koreans find strength, joy, and pride in BTS. I know some people try to say that BTS is chasing this western mindset but I can tell you as a westerner that it’s not true. I feel the love and pride that they have in being Korean and sharing their culture with the world. It’s beautiful and I hope BTS can rest easy knowing that they are truly loved by their country.

[@fatoumatakindydiallo2857]

I agree with you, Bts is not chasing the western mindset.

@@ignaciopazgarcia5370 the difference here is that grammy, bb and all recognize BTS. Fame? Not just fame. BTS has power and effect that is incomparable to any kpop idols. That's a fact whether you or anyone object. Years from now, BTS' contribution to music amdbto their country will be on History and literature. I give you my word. BTS' achievements will be printed on books someday and that's INCOMPARABLE to your top idols or what.

[@alperry02]

"I love them because they have their own thoughts. " Same! I loved the 3 ladies the most. Thank you so much for interviewing people of different ages! They had very insightful statements. Also liked the young lady who spoke about music's ability to unit people internationally. That is truly the unique power of music and specifically bts.

That's why songs like Spring Day never left the charts because their lyrics are relatable to all age groups. Their songs have deeper meaning unlike current "trend" of musicians who objectify everything in their music to make a living.

[@soneshwariboro8406]

I thoroughly enjoyed seeing different generations of Korean in the street are talking good things about BTS. I think these type of things probably would make BTS feel happy and proud because general population regards them nicely. Thanks for this content.

[@moinomin9882]

I'm so happy watching this video! I remember videos like this from 2 years ago and people would be like who's BTS or yeah I know but they aren't on that level and etc. But noe they've reached a level that nobody can reach and they've proved that they are proud citizens of Korea! People say that they are westernized just bcz they are famous in the west but for real they aren't!!! They are the idols that are the most patriotic and that love their culture and want to share it to the world! Nobody is on their level on that!!! Bcz of their love for their country I also love my country (not korea)! They teach me that you should love your country and care to make changes in that society! I'm just so proud of them🥰 They really are the pride of Korea and kostly the pride of every Armys in the world!!!!

[@meemee63]

You are Sooo right! Koreans should be Proud of their Loveable Crazy BTS and how much they've accomplished!

I Really like what the older ladies said about BTS musics/personalities. i feel life they know BTS more than the others.

[@liezlmier4426]

im so happy for bts.😭💜 now everyone talks good things about them and theyre crazily so popular right now and i feel so proud being their fan even before they became famous. Way back 2014-2016, people keep bashing them, says bad things and even making fun of them thru videos, criticisms in articles , death threats from antis ,as a fan it really breaks my heart. When people were interviewed back then, they would ask, " Who? bts? " even koreans dont even know them but look right now? everyone utters positive feeling about the. They really deserve where they are right now, all the love they received from all over the world. Its the result of all their hardships, trials and all. They are a great inspiration and hope for those who started from small or even from nothing.

[@whyme2427]

Okay but can we appreciate our MOM ARMIES💜💜 they just defined what makes you an ARMY.

[@tinawalker6770]

Thanks for sharing and it was very nice to hear from Koreans' citizens how proud they are. It is good for BTS to know that they are appreciated at home by some of their people also. Keep BTS momentum going at home and by doing so, that keeps South Korea on the map. Keep up the good work and thanks again .

These 3 grandma know about BTS better than all the media & entertainment agency. Who are still trying to find BTS success formula. They just need to listen, watch and enjoy BTS music & variety show. To understand why they could capture all our hearts. You can't made or reproduce feelings....💜

[@asimplecadence]

I really think the world is at a cultural shift right now and I'm glad BTS is helping aid that shift. It's really good to have positive vibes spread and shared so we can learn to grow and love each other and as well as ourselves.

“Through them, briefly, I can feel my existence in the world” One of the ladies said that. I like it!

[@KMJ9]

I'm crying right now. I've been with them since their debut and all their hardships. My boys are now being recognized by all koreans. There was a time when BTS are not well known in their own country and they are not being showned much to tv. Especially when they first go to AMA and BBMA the news on Korea don't talk much about them because I heard they were being news blacked out in their own country because they are not from a famous company but now they are loved by every generations in korea. I'm so proud of you 방탄! 정말 사라해! Continue to make music and spread love all over the world.

[@taliadoan751]

Great interview! Love everyone’s answers. The grandmas were so cute, smart, and on point with the answers! Love that one lady’s laugh ( the one with the Ha ha inserts). Her laughs makes me happy! 😍😘💜

[@mijz5561]

so proud of BTS. They've worked so hard and faced so many trials before going in the top so seeing Koreans appreciate and cheerish them makes me cry. Koreans are so proud of their pride (BTS). BTS build their name in a right way/path and everything just fall in the right time as well. I bet if Koreans will find out all the International fans projects for each member and for all of them they might get super shook and amaze 😂 International fans project especially for Birthday Projects were so extremely extra and expensive hahaha I can't even imagine the amount 😅 I PURPLE YOU BTS and ARMY 💜

Well, BTS are quite popular in Indonesia too, especially in big cities like Jakarta. We can hear their song played in mall, cafe, restaurant or radio at least once a day. Oh, and now they also become a brand ambasador for one of Indonesian biggest online shop: tokopedia and you can found their children's merchandise, BT21, on CGV.
