Who was the Biggest Boy Band in History?

[@RiceSquad]

For the first time in it’s history South Korea’s population and birthrate have fallen and Japan is already on its 9th straight year of their population falling. Just last year, Japan’s population dropped by 487,000. Is it possible for a country to go extinct?... how? Watch our newest video here! kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5OkmWCcqsaKp9k

*BTS are Korean, even their home country didn't really accept them for the first 3 years of their careers. And it's as if they debuted in 2018 or 19 internationally, but still (some) people are not accepting them like 1D, or any other English artists. They JUST started it and are getting insanely stronger thus no one can predict what the future exactly holds for them. They are the players of their own game, they broke the language barriers and much more. Fun fact: They also won the Order of Cultural Merit as the youngest recipients in Korean history.*

They sing, they rap, they dance, they entertain. They are versatile, their music ranges from rap, hip-hop, pop, pop-rock, k-pop. They have been compared to the Beatles.

I think the Asian theory did take this into consideration. Both one direction and definitely the Beatles were popular in Asia. All of these groups are extremely successful and have done great things. Beatlemania helped create fan culture as we know it today. The Backstreet Boys helped create boy bands as we know them today - an influence in kpop. One direction helped propel boy bands and fan culture into the 21st century. Bts are perfecting and revolutionizing the idea of the boy band. They all have had an important role to play.

It isn't directioners who sells out stadiums or albums of Bangtan. BTS debuted in 2013 in a small company in a competitive Kpop industry ruled by Big3. They had to take small steps to first surpass Kpop idols because they didn't hv media support nor where Kpop itself was mainstream. They even started get recognized in their home country only by 2015-16. They had to do 1000× work hard than 1D ever did in their entire career to get recognised.

Tell me one of the so-called "1000s" of artists/groups that can dance like them. Oh, 'PLEASE TELL ME THAT THIS IS A JOKE.' If BTS were an American group, you would probably not say this. Just because BTS have fans that are actually dedicated to them does't make ARMYs toxic. Maybe if you actually listened to BTS before dissing them, you would actually understand why this comment is stupid. Before you make yourself look like more of an idiot and asshole, shut your mouth and do something better with your time than write hate comments on KZbin that you'll just get dissed for.

[@jjkbts21]

Granola Bars oh man... I hope you realized what kind of a dummy comment this was. I mean they even spoke at UN and made a huge impact on the world by being an incredible inspiration... and nobody did it like BTS. Non other group ever achieved a success likely to gain attention from the West (Europe, America etc.) when they actually come from Asia, ESPECIALLY from an actually unknown small label which gained huge success through BTS! They are very different to other groups... they had a way harder path to prowl and had to prove themselves much more often then other groups and had to fight trough prejudice and racism because they are Asian and make K-Pop music and stuff like that. They are unbelievably talented, they sing, rap, dance, act, produce their own music/songs, entertain (the list goes on and on). They speak about topics that every age group concerns and have a fandom which isn’t only consistent out of teens but also elders. They talk about very important topics and aren’t typically singing about love and relationships and so on. They have a really big depth in their lyrics which touches many people around the globe. I really much hope that you start to reflect the things you said and try to think a big more objectively instead of mean, pessimistic and hater-vibe-likely and try to rethink your opinion about BTS. I hope you didn’t feel offended and I wish a great and relaxing day/night.

[@rosknas8245]

mochi kookie I think he or she worded it wrong, the concepts of what BTS is doing isn’t “ revolutionary “ or new. Many artist in the past and present try to have the concept of self love, mental health , LGBTQ , etc. What’s revolutionary is their success on doing these things.

i would like to point out comparing artists from different generations. bts are leading an era where buying the physical album is basically useless, as there are streaming apps and stuff like that. however, in the 90s, such streaming apps were not available, making fans buy the physical albums (which would lead to bigger sales). same thing the other way around. so many people can access music today so it’ll be inevitable for today’s artists and heartthrobs to have more fans than the artists of the last generation. so, i think it is important to keep in mind the different circumstances of the different time periods! great video!

Interesting! By the way, you forgot to include the Korean Music Awards for BTS. The Korean Music Awards are the Korean Grammys and BTS have received 11 past nominations and 4 awards, including 2 for Musician of the Year, being the first idols to ever be granted this honor. They also have 3 more nominations for the upcoming 2020 KMAs for Best Pop Song, Song of the Year, and Musician of the Year.

i think the kmas from this year were already announced since they had to cancel an actual on-site event, bts didnt win any this time unfortunately :( they announced the winners on their website/social media so a lot of people missed the announcements

[@christa7834]

@@marimiliadsl3113 Yeah, there were a lot of elements that I think should've been included. And considering that the aim was to be objective, the metrics were highly privileging of the western perspective. They didn't go into at all the handicap that BTS has for singing in Korean and for the racial bias against them outside of Asia. (In my opinions, the Backstreet Boys and One Direction did great running their marathons, but BTS did it with 50lb backpacks while people along the way threw rocks at them.) What isn't just an opinion, though, is that the operationalization of the variables in this comparison needs work.

Believe me when I say, here them talking and You will learn more about life, positivity, hope than any other band ever. They actually care about them and support them. They stands for what they believe in. No hate speech ever, no hatred, no pretending, no stardom attitude, doesn't act like they own the world, no nasty attitude, humble, down to earth, raw, authentic, funny, caring, never ever ever forget to thank ARMY and which them good health, always motivates ARMY to live free and live well following their dream. Biggest boy band or not, but definitely artist who heals people pains with their music, give hope to the one who needs in their darkest time and they are not just some eye candy for 'teenage girls', they have managed to touch the lives of all the walk of people with their music. Music and artist for healing.

Ion think there’s any room for argument here, “the Beatles” were/are/will be the biggest boy band on the planet ever. After that come BB,1D and BTS all amazing in their own rights. What makes BTS special is the amount of stereotypes they’re breaking and the legacy they’re creating for Asians. It’s quite amazing. All this w non English music. Truly remarkable. Tbh, it sort of puts BTS in the same league as that of the Beatles. Maybe if the industry wasn’t this xenophobic and lowkey scared of them, they’d be 10000 times bigger.

[@Jha0601]

@@Slauson59th True. I'm a big Bts fan, been a fan primarily due to their music and stayed because the members have great personalities. As artists of today they indeed broke various records, broken barriers, they are great due to those feats but music wise they've got to try and create way, way better music than they have now to even get to The Beatles level. The Beatles songs transcended time (almost 60 yrs) and stayed relevant and as much as I love Bts I've yet to see a song of theirs with as much impact as The Beatles songs. They're still very active tho so who knows.

The thing is that the Beatles weren’t a “boy band” in the same sense that you think of BTS and 1D. Therefore it’s not really right to compare them. Their dynamics are completely different. Love them all though 😻😻

People be like: "but the language barrier" It's honestly not a big deal, if you are interested in music no one cares about language. You're just ignorant if you refuse to acknowledge music in other languages... You're just losing to yourself. Other people who speak other languages listen to loads of English music and it's just normal. Yet when Westerners hear other music in other languages they throw hands. The level of entitlement is unreal. Look at "despacito" not ONE award yet it stayed in charts in America for AGES. no excuse. I'm just saying, if kpop and other music that's popular in America but in another language were to receive the same treatment as western artists in America then they would dominate. I'm sorry but dats fax Music has no barrier, Koreans listen to our music and will put it on their charts let's do the same. Edit: when I said you're ignorant I meant it. I don't mean you're ignorant if you don't want to listen to music you don't understand on the spot, it's just preference I guess but I meant it's ignorant to exclude and not acknowledge the music. It's hard to explain, it's ignorant to just dismiss it as unpopular or bad quality because of its language. Also that goes for any music not just English and Korean. Feel free to disagree, it's just my opinion.

I may be an ARMY and not the biggest fan of 1D and Backstreet Boys but honestly BTS would actually be the biggest band ever. Backstreet Boys and 1D had advantages since they're in the western industry so it would be way easier for them to rack up fans, especially since their music was in English. But BTS came from a small company in a country where their language and music wasn't well known. Yet BTS managed to win the whole world and become one of the most successful music acts ever. Honestly, K-Pop would still slowly be growing if BTS hadn't picked it up and gave it the recognition it really deserved.
