• Non Korean Kpop Idols ...
Boy bands, Love them or hate them, they’ve been around for quite a while now.
Since getting their start with The Beatles in the 60s, the image of boy bands steadily evolved. The 70s brought the Jackson 5, The New Kids came to the Block in the 80s, the 90s golden age shone with the BackStreet Boys and N'Sync. In the 2010s we saw a revival of boy bands starring One Direction.
Now in modern days Asia, and more specifically Korea has given us a new wave a better, faster, stronger boy bands with BTS paving the way. How did BTS and Korean boy bands succeed where western artists have fallen by the wayside?

Coco To be fair despite bts not getting much radio play I have actually heard their music on radio : mic drop Steve Aoki , fake love , make it right feat lauv, boy with luv feat halsey , I would give it prob a month that it lasted here in San Diego. Idk how it is with other cities

[@nkkad1047]

@BNOZ99 ! if their music wasn't good why would they be global and accomplish so much. It's perfectly fine if you don't like their music I could care less but don't try to act like xenophobia doesn't exist. Also, most of the songs in other languages that they play on the radio are in Spanish which is the second most spoken language in America.

[@ballsil3]

[@Calix.b]

Why everybody forgets HANSON 😔 Also, BTS doesn’t seem desperate for fame as other artists. They don’t ask people to go vote for categories they’re nominated in, we don’t even know if they care for it or not. And often they’re clueless about their own fame. They don’t act as if being relevant is that important. All of these other artists using their bodies and good looks to keep you entertained and there’s BTS enjoying art, painting, dancing, talking to us, sharing music or exercising! Normal things, they’re so relatable. To me, that’s why I find them so interesting and worth of my money and time. Their company’s business approach is very subtle but effective!

[@estelaangeles2346]

But bts just wants money and their losing the message because it's too much trophies and that can make the schedules heavy

[@hvna911]

Estela Angeles losing the message ? Really ? Did you listen to their last album ? The fact that they want to produce only by themselves their next album and sharing the processus to the fans is enough to say that they are still communicating with us.

[@RoseZalica]

​@@estelaangeles2346 I would completely accept if they would go for the money cause that's what gives them opportunities to grow and it's a life-goal that a lot of people have, but with the MASS of different content for free and the depths of meaning they have in everything they do, as well as the quality and new ideas they coming up with (Which actually isn't needed anymore), I really don't think they just want money and i really don't know where they're actually losing their message?

[@Calix.b]

Estela Angeles how would a company operate without money? Money is a necessity and BH will do anything necessary to get it. Think of all the people working behind these massive success. It’s business, money has to come from somewhere. That’s up to their company not up to the members themselves. Also, I don’t think their message has changed, they however have grown a lot and learned a lot. Everything they do has consequences unfortunately, so rather I think they’re being careful and more aware of their impact. We receive not only a lot of free content but a lot of love and attention from them, so in a way it balances out!!

[@RomikaTaher]

Esther La I’m sorry but you don’t know them, how would you know he’s joking? Look jin might seem like he’s really confident but don’t you see that it could be something bigger? Jin, and all of BTS, want their fans to be happy, he wants bts to be a place where they can be happy. Seokjin has been mistreated and it’s sad because he has to promote himself with things like eat jin and him being world wide handsome. Tell me, if you were asked to join a boy group only because of your looks, convinced that you don’t put anything to the group. You work hard everyday on your singing and dancing skills and have improved so much but still don’t get placed in the centre or don’t get many lines. Wouldn’t you feel discouraged and shy? Look I’m not saying I know their lives but there’s more than what you see on the surface.

[@hananana1155]

sunnihxbi u r not wrong, and jin still get shy when he is the center of attention but if u go watch that interview u will see namjoon was joking, jin overcame his shyness . he has that duality of getting shy to be center of attention but having the confident of being the center of attention.

[@RomikaTaher]

hanana na I’m not talking about head on shy, I’m talking about something deeper, not something you can just see off of facial expressions, I’m not saying that what I’m saying is correct but just look from his perspective. I’m not talking about the interview per se where they could actually be joking, I’m more concerned with the original comment as it implies as jin can’t have insecurities or that he doesn’t just because of some act as world wide handsome. He isn’t arrogant like it makes him seem, he cares for others and he could like his looks (bc he is handsome) but he’s definitely not arrogant. I’m just saying that there’s more to him than just this act he’s pulling.

They give attention to each different types of fans in different ways. Those who are older will most likely enjoy the theories/ storyline. Those who are younger may like the fan service. Those who like dance get to see them dance. Those who like cinematography get great mvs. They are providing content for millions of people w different interests. If fan service is one of them...so be it lol

I am truly fascinated to see a video that shows a really good overview on the history of boy bands. It just shows how much the times have changed and how music has reached on different levels of depth. In my honest opinion, BTS is no ordinary boy band, their music speaks a totally different spectrum from the usual or typical songs we would hear and I think it’s a “breaking of that wall” that sets them apart from the rest. The way they tackled social issues and inner problems beyond the surface is what would make you feel their sincerity and heart to connect with you. -An ARMY who listened to Spring Day.

Bts doesn't have that aspect of each boy having a particular image or fit in a particular category. In fact that isn't true for a lot of kpop. Bts is far too dynamic for something so confining, so I yeah, I guess a lot of boy bands can be pretty far out of the 'requirements'. Btw it's so cool to see how each boy band era has changed. Bts is the biggest now(as they deserve to be), but a new era will come.

Tsahai Johnson I agree. Also the way he stated it made it seem like it was a curated image.. BTS are so authentic whenever they’re on camera.

Clearly a lot of work went into this. People can be too quick to write off ‘boy bands’ but when you look at the variety, those who play instruments, those who don’t, those who write and or produce, and those who don’t, it’s a much more complex and diverse subject than it appears on the surface. I think, it is maybe worth mentioning, that what really seems to divide what is considered a ‘boy bands and what is not, seems to be based more solidly on whether or not they are perceived to primarily have a young female fan base or not. Essentially the term is widely used in a derogatory way because of misogynistic attitudes to music and the [in my opinion very false] idea that female tastes in music are somehow less valid. Not trying to be over political, but I think it is a valid point that is often missed. Like you say many groups share characteristics but some are boy bands while others are not. Look at the gender split of the fan base ... see if I’m right.

[@pennybleta2300]

Not Army's fanbase age demographics are way different than most boybands. Our highest number is 40-49 years old and we are not all female. This video explains the difference better I think.
