I think adult koreans are shy to admit they like popular idol music since it's regarded as niche music everywhere including Korea.. N koreans are very shy in nature... Where as international audience are very bold to enjoy n admit wat they like... Even in some korean public interviews I saw many 40/50+ age koreans know everything about bts n enjoy them very much n able to keep up the basic news of bts etc... N also I get if those two adult haven't been listening to music last couple of weeks than I get it... But if u listen to music last few weeks any day all the top song on any chart was butter if u don't like butter or bts or idol music or don't care its ok.. But U at least know there's a new bts song in bright yellow color visible to the eye at #1..koreans should come over those stigma.. Non koreans r fighting to eliminate those stigma for koreans.. N here they r feeling shy. .. Also I think Japan n other Asian countries are more prouder than some koreans... Here in our country people used to hate Asian looking people n has very big stigma if u like them it's heavily critisized... But now every body loves them n praised n all the biggest celebrity with all 50m 60m followers always keep upto date with their content n shared to their followers n don't even clout chase but respect them

I'm really anxious about the results. While BTS do have a HUGE fanbase outside of Korea and internationally, they're really popular in Korea too. They sell stadiums out within minutes and win thousands of awards as armies support them. But i have a feeling that many people will say that they're overrated or that they don't like them just because they're popular. Popularity really bugs some people. What is widely loved is also widely critisized, sometimes for few reasons

[@mxm1337]

*ITS VERY LONG READ AT YOUR OWN RISK* People get bored too We army would obviously like to see bts everywhere but it's not the with people who aren't fans They are not necessarily antis Its just overwhelming to hear the same name over and over again It's like with advertisements When you are on KZbin or watching a drama on certain apps then an ad just pops up Its fine the first but sometimes it goes on and on if its different ads its fine but when it's the same thing you just feel disgusted/annoyed/headache It could be a super nice product but just because it was shown too much hence over marketing and overwhelming side effects It has to do with marketing and psychology at the same time Over marketing any product is the same as negative marketing People like changes... innovations So sometimes doing ad for products or services they would film different types so as to not cause boredom to the target market Now you can say that BTS are people human beings they are making achievements etc... from us army who are fans that is true... from many Korean... in a patriotic way... it's true... however if you put emotions aside think from a business point of view BTS is classified as product/services... they are selling music which are products/services... just like any idol actors or artists Like painters selling art... it's a beautifying way to say it... but in the business world they are just selling products... BTS achievements are driving their business values The point is you know many artists specifically in the west they would cause controversies whether good or bad to stay in the limelight just to keep people attention on them... to notice them... but if the same person is shown everyday on the news you would be bored to death to the point of hating, you would be like "not again" BTS however doesn't need controversies... they are literally everywhere without doing anything... whether achievements or just doing nothing... which is both good and bad Even without them doing anything... they can break records while for army its cute... it's not for everyone Bts being everywhere can cause different emotions Pride Boredom Hate None of which is caused by a good or bad character... its just psychological thing It can lead to new fan because of interest attraction while for others it can cause a headache to hear the same thing over and over again These people doesn't need to be attacked by others for not being able to love bts... its just psychology *SORRY THAT WAS VERY LONG*

[@naziatislam1149]

I feel like I would see that stuff more from like western people because to them technically they don’t really have a reason to be appreciative towards bts so they find them “overrated.

I listened to only this song a classic one for me back then... after that even though I loved it I couldn't listen to it anymore... so I stopped totally for a month then only listen to it once in while now but it's still among my top 10 bts songs I never dare to listen to any song as I did with it... for fear of making the same mistake again...

Tbh I discovered later on that idol music isn’t that popular among the gp and it’s not easy especially for boy groups to reach the gp and all but bts is basically one of the only few ones who managed to change the way the public saw idols yeah. Their story and path are very interesting and inspiring to see I think

[@belhomarwa7924]

And that's what we call "bts paved the way"

[@stacie1595]

Can confirm. I live in korea and most people don't listen to idol music and the only kpop that's played in public places are girl group songs (I think I heard STAYC ASAP at least 30 times this weekend) and maybe chill boy group songs every once in a while.

[@eehyetti]

@@stacie1595 omg really? I’m shocked! As though I love kpop and bts, I can’t stand girl groups, most of their songs are so childish, repetetive and unoriginal. Their dances as well. Just how?

[@stacie1595]

@@eehyetti I mean, girl groups create music better suited for easy listening and passive listening. The songs are catchy and the choreography is easily emulated. However, I don't think it's fair to say girl groups are all childish and unoriginal. If you don't like the music, that's fine, but they know how to make an addictive pop song so we should give them credit where credit is due. That fits the average korean sensibility too. They prefer light hearted songs over intense songs. That's why iKONs best selling song in Korea is Love Senerio and not their hiphop songs. Boy groups, tend to make music that is much more intense and not as easy to just play over the speakers in a shop or restaurant.

That guy in the brown shirt was me before I knew BTS. I could only name RM and V. RM was the first one I knew cause I saw them from a red carpet interview and I remember liking how he talked lol and obvi he was the one fluent in English. And then after the interview, I saw their performance and the first member that caught my eyes was V. His deep voice stood out the most for me and at the same time I was blown away by his visuals. I remember I kept going back to the same videos and I would replay his parts cause I was just so into it and blown away. It kinda took me a while but eventually I was like let me search them up and all their works and now I'm a fan.

But seriously BTS impact is huge cause kpop idols and groups normally aren't as big among GP. At this point they aren't just widely recognized, they've got the respect of the whole nation.

[@leec9]

Yeah I found it surprising too. And suspect it’s actually becos of You Quiz that two of them went in pair for interview & the production team did an amazing work that every viewer literally falls in love with them for being genuine, funny & humble (no hate, I think the other interviews didn’t come as tailor-made as RM-V part). In particular for V, he’s maturing like fine wine, his charisma radiates throughout the recent variety shows.

[@ray3298]

@@leec9 I think all of them were on You Quiz tho so idk maybe RM-V part stood out most. But I don't think has to do with that a lot. RM is the leader and spokesperson so naturally everyone always knows him first even in Western countries too he is the most known. And V is mentioned a lot on k-news channels for various reasons, also his voice is considered one of the most unique in kpop and his face is like a beauty standard there lol so I think that's why.

[@mariasarrah2403]

He's been well known tho even before the quiz show , yes V and RM is mostly left more impression to non fans

[@Taelosophy]

Yeah, if you can keep up with updates accounts of Taehyung. It's common to see him trending on naver for anything and sometimes not in the music part but in the general news. Also, his achievements are always on tv news like the ones of Sweet Night or the Burj Khalifa birthday present. Another comment here mention youquiz and well, at that time it was like a confirmation of his popularity for people that can't see this things regularly of Tae because, at that time, after bts, Tae was the most commented topic. The reason was the way he talks about his dad, that strike a chord with koreans cause his dad was supportive of him and that made Tae thinks that he want to be like his dad (I read comments from older people saying that it's their dream their sons talk like that about them 🥲). So I think his popularity in Korea comes before this and it's for a lot of factors like his voice, his music (all of his soundcloud songs were used in tv to the point that people thought 4 o clock was actually the ost of a program), his beauty, that is like exotic there and his manners (one time he was voted by reporters as the most humble and respectful idol) Namjoon has always been recongnized since the UN speech.

[@Taelosophy]

@@leec9 i don't think it was tailor made. The answers of both of them is what made their interview endearing. Joon always talks with a lot of deep thoughts and maturity; and Tae is spontaneous, interesting and cute, you always get surprise with his words. Both tohether was a well balance interview.

There is no end to BTS and Army. We love our 7 boys and for us they are so much more than just idols. It feels like we grew up with them and whatever they do we will support them.

To those that get disappointed that the general public doesn't know (more) about BTS, I ask you: Do you know everything about celebrities from your own country? Probably not and you don't have to. BTS has brought many things to SK, but they are still a music group. There's a certain limit to what they can and will do, so of course, not everyone knows everything about them. Stop acting as if they have to. You are fans, it's natural that YOU know more about them than so many other people, including South Koreans.

Exactly my point. I am Korean and army, but sometimes whenever I see I-armys who think every single Korean must know well about BTS just blows my mind.

It's the men themselves whom I grew to love and they taught me self love, obviously.

@@adrxdeedrich5091 I don't want to sound negative but let me first say, they definitely have a huge fanbase in S.K. probably the largest without a doubt. But still it's something unusual. Bcoz u would expect someone so huge to be more disseminated among the public in their home country ? I don't hate it but i don't understand it either. It's​ like people there now know their names & achievements but not their music, but if i pick any among the biggest singers of my country most people would have heard their music & like it even though they would have no knowledge about their personal lives & award achievements. I feel like no matter how big BTS has gotten the "idol" stigma is big, people still say oh it's idol music so I don't know much. But it's just music. So their music in particular remains within the fandom even in S.K. Even though it's obviously changing now & the case has been different with Dynamite & Butter but these two songs literally had to be so huge all over the world.

[@DearlyBeloved652]

We international fans used to vote in Korean awards to give them support with their small K-army and did so for a long time (army are very smart). I started in voting 2016. Because of them winning, more Koreans took notice and became fans over the years so we don't vote like that now days. They are still not appreciated by mainstream Korea even if they do sell out stadiums today. Mainstream Korea appreciates their economic impact, not their music. Even within kpop their music is underappreciated by those that prefer more trend following sounds like other groups go for. So the part about I-army supplementing the love their country doesn't give them is sadly still accurate. We've supported them for a long time and there is nothing wrong with acknowledging that. But lets how remember ALL army around the world work together to give them support they deserve.

[@Nope-eu9od]

I got to say not all Korean having stereotype towards idols, same to not all idols are suffering from that stereotype. It’s about how media portraits the artists & how entertainment labels promote them. For example, Bigbang. A group debuted as an idol group but GP were widely respected them as artists before the scandal. Cause YG was heavily promoting them like artists who make their own music. However BigHit music emphasizes & promotes BTS as idols (Even though most of fans know that BTS play a huge part in making their own music, but this is not widely known by GP. No one knows how talented they are outside of this fandom) BHM needs to figure out how to introduce BTS as artists to GP…if no, nothing will be changed no matter how impactful & successful BTS is.

[@DEE-305]

@@pritiparmar9994 yeah this is indeed true. If u look at Melon it's easy to tell. Boy groups barely charts except BTS has done well. Bigbang in addition to BTS has had PAKs among boy groups for multiple songs before. Spring day has the highest​ amount of unique music listeners on Melon i believe. So i hve to say atleast some music from BTS is indeed known by the gp there, even though alot of people probably don't know, Spring Day is a BTS song. Lol, yes I've seen people say that. Blood Sweat Tears did good as well. Idol & DNA also did quite well. Boy with luv too & ofcourse Dynamite is literally a huge record breaker there. Now butter is doing quite well. BTS has done well in terms of both streams & unique music listeners. Even b-sides from Map of Soul 7 had a good amount of unique music listeners, which isn't something only fandom can do.

I want to point out some things: This is my opinion based on what i research or saw on article or experience from some intl. fans living in korea 1. Idols groups or band are not totally preferred in sk. They love ballad/trot. In groups,girls are more preferrable than boys but boys have bigger size of fandom. 2. The one girl that said bts is idol group but also “unique in musical style”. most of bts songs are not totally upbeat or onomatopheic sounds like how most people want especially young and teens(more on party vibes and vulgar lyrics that talks about relationship,betrayal or nasty things)Bts songs are more sentimental and relatable if you listen to Music not just the melody or beat. Ofc. The no.1 strength of them that always being ignored “Lyrics”. 3. Based on streaming stats and survey of diff. Korean companies Fans of bts in sk are more in their 20’s or 30’s. You saw how powerful they are in social media but i want to say that it’s just a HALF some of them are inactive, not into socmed or silent fan of Bts
