As a fan who came from 2nd generation kpop I saw first hand how those idol groups failed to enter the american market. At the time DBSK were huge in japan and korea. When DBSK (5 members) split the 3 members became JYJ. They thought they still had huge popularity in the west so they booked a concert at the prudential center in NJ. Of course I attended along with other die hard DBSK/JYJ fans. They never sold out the venue. In fact only 1/3 of the entire venue was sold and the idols in person didn't even interact with the fans in a good manner. They look at us like we were crazy fanatics. I just remember because of that experience I never listened to them again even tho I had been a supporting fan for 10 years already. I soon began leaving kpop entirely as I entered my mid 20s. This is when in 2015 I heard I Need U, an instant hit to my kpop ears so much so that I listened to it over 200 times while completely ignoring who the artist was. It was only in 2017 when BTS went to the billboards that I finally opened my eyes to them and gave them a chance because their performances were unlike anything I've seen until that point plus the way they treated their fans was on an intimate level. I instantly felt a connection to them all and stuck by their side ever since. I've never regretted becoming a fan of BTS, I always have huge pride that I listen to their music. I ended up returning back to university because of a song Suga wrote (So Far Away) and now I'm a proud graduate of biomedical sciences and a loving ARMY at the age of 31 =D

Taemin and Jimin did these Tiktoks together; JK was out with his Idol friends group TXT did talk in an interview during one of their album drops how certain TS members treat them/take care of them like especially Suga, J-Hope & Jimin - but also RM offering help to Soobin. What boracity forgets is that BTS hasn't been on award shows in general much since the end of 2019/2020. (also Covid and pre-recording) They are also not on the weekly Idol shows and if they are they tend to pre-record. So we don't see them in public so often with other Idols. That and there is a difference with the friends circle of the rapline and the vocalline. Jin also proved that he had (non-famous) friends from before shortly before (?) his military service.

The main thing that does separate BTS is that they are not a traditional idol group. They are 💯 original. They were always encouraged to write their own songs and make their own messages. Idol groups just dont do that. They ARE cookie cutter. Sad but true. Now other groups say "we write music too" to try to convince others. You can't duplicate talent, charisma and humility. That's what sets BTS apart.

Mr. Bang-nim allowed them to grow organically & grow naturally ,by finding their authentic selves . Allowing them to write, produce & engineer their own music. He did the right thing, by allowing them almost full control of all of their original & creative content.

It’s really fandoms, media, etc. BTS is friends with several artists-some have their “line” (birth year~ ‘95-line, ‘97-line, etc) friends. They’ve gotten bolder over the years-showing themselves with those outside friends, at random. JK is especially bold about this! When SUGA does SUCHWITA, his talk show, he made a safe space for his brothers to promote their solo work. But, then, he expanded it to a safe space for actors/idols to talk freely about things. SUGA is such an old soul~so much older and wiser than his 31 yrs. He invited the younger artists to be his friend/eat meals/come to his house/talk to him… because he understands the pressure they’re under. SUGA said, “I have two dreams, and one is to be an old, white-haired man still standing onstage and playing his guitar and singing, and the other is to become a licensed psychological therapist.” They’ve spent their career and were created to make music for healing. This would just be an extension of what he’s already done so far. 💜🥰💜🥰💜🥰💜🥰💜🥰💜🥰💜

Also BTS agency allow BTS to have the freedom to write their music, produce their own beats, to be creator. Even if someone else wrote a song for BTS they was always part of the writing especially RM, Suga and JHope. Other groups didn't have that freedom, they sang what others wrote for they and choreography their dance style someone else did that also.

Not that I know of but than I'm far from an expert. But these days there are more Idols also known to write - especially from HYBE. Others include: Seventeen (from the beginning and before HYBE) or Stray Kids or (G)I-dle... I think the GP just did not know most of it - they did know BB - and thought them inauthentic: which: fair - a lot seems not to be that deep or more on the performance side But than most successfull music these days we know is not usually that deep either. Try bby gang mag "you are wrong about K-pop" and the following video essays

I don’t consider BTS to be a K-pop group or a westerner style boy band. The are 7 geniuses who worked their asses off to become a global phenomena.

Jhope you can argue whether he's an idol rapper or real rapper but what I'm trying to say is, you but them all together as a group representing BTS and not their individual personas, they are a k-pop group. Look at Boy with Luv, it's a perfect example of them as BTS vs their individual personas because I truly think Yoongi as Agust D would never have that kind of rap but Suga WOULD. So I'm saying, BTS is a K-pop group.

Bts paved the way and it has been acknowledged by the pioneers of kpop such as seo taiji and psy. Seo taiji are the pioneers of kpop, they were the first biggest kpop artist in South Korea, their lyrics held power and truth, I guess that due to this, seo taiji decided bts was going to be their successors, bts is similar to them as they were change makers and their lyrics held lots of power, also bts was the first Korean band able to break into the western market whereas second generation idols were only able to break into other Asian markets such as the Japanese one, after bts got big in the states, so many doors were opened for other kpop groups to enter the western market, now kpop is on billboards in nyc, you hear their music in stores around the world, kpop groups are always appearing on late night shows, etc.

As Suga said 'There will be no 'next BTS'.' RM said 'Although it's a compliment to be seen as the next Beatles we are not the Next Beatles we are BTS' Who wants to be though of as the Next that suggests they are a copy even if it's a better copy of the original but it's still not something any group or artist should be going for. They should be striving to be the first the one and only.

BTS have ALWAYS spoken of other Kpop groups with respect, but sadly few other Kpop groups have done the same for BTS. Some even try to put them down by implication and without naming them, especially Blackpink. Personally I suspect that is driven by their companies controlling what they are ALLOWED to say so i dont blame those individuals. At the moment the Korean industry is trying to manoeuvre their artists to 'benefit' from BTS military service when they are unable to work outside the army duties. But rather amusingly, or sadly from their point of view, BTS prepared SO MUCH NEW MATERIAL that they are still dominating the world industry. And in addition, ARMYs are streaming the back catalogue so strongly that those songs also continue to dominate. Unfortunately (for Kpop) the 'other' companies sèem to not understand that if you want to make another band as big, you need to trust your artists and give them creative freedom. Some are starting to, and it may come, but there will not be another to compare with them for decades. And when they come, they will be completely different. They, too, will make their own way. Its the nature of this world.

Universal truth: BTS PAVED THE WAY FOR K-POP

Kinda late comment. I am newish but have done deep dives into BTS for 2+ years now. Early on i recognized that it was the early hardships that got them started, because they spent hours and hours communicating directly and honestly with the fans. They created their own TV shows because the industry would not invite them. They focused on the fanbase from the beginning.. BEFORE they debuted. Their songs are directed toward the fans and their messages are wholesome and much needed for today's youth. They respect and love the fans. They are honest and intimate.. in other words, yes they are talented and their performances are light years ahead of others... But they became so well loved because of their hearts and their inventive ways of getting around the industry norms.

Ernesto, you are a beautiful & authentic soul. ARMY can easily see that you are the real deal. That is why they send you lovely gifts of appreciation, for you just being yourself. Your family is so wonderfully blessed , to have you as a husband , father, brother & uncle. You are such a positive male role model.

Yo escucho Kpop desde el 2008, así que me hice fan desde la 2da Gen. y ningún grupo ha logrado tanto como BTS, lo que ha generado mucha envidia y hasta deseos de verlos caer por otros idols que teniendo muchas más ventajas no han logrado mayor cosa fuera de Corea cuando hablamos de personas que no escuchan Kpop. Es increíble que a pesar de los años, de ser el grupo más amado y seguido del mundo, en su propio país sigan recibiendo esta clase de tratos de algunos idols de "sangre azul", otras empresas e incluso la prensa. PSD: Algunos de los integrantes de Seventeen son amigos cercanos de Jungkook (La 97 Line). Personalmente me agrada este grupo, igual que BTS provienen de una empresa pequeña y crean su propio material (música y coreografías).

Even though they didnt make a big mark, they were known at some lvl. We have to take into account that during this time social media wasnt that normal as today. The 3rd gen. were the ones that finally had a spot in the US. and began to form the base. This is also thanks to the increase of people having access to social media and seeing what other countries had to offer, which helped them. The 4th and 5th are the ones beginning to build the house, I dont really known that much about these gen. What i do agree is that each group paved the way in some way for other groups. For example Shinee (2gen) were the ones that made it common to have a dance practice video. Big Bang (2nd gen) were the ones that had the first underground rapper, not someone that the company made a rapper because they didnt have a great vocal, the first lightstick was created by one of of their member. 2NE1 (2nd gen) were the ones that made the girl crush concept more popular, during that time girl groups were all either cute, sexy , innocent which was expected from them. BTS (3rd gen) paved the way as shown in the video. I am a fan of 2gen (Shinee, Big Bang, 2NE1, SNSD) and some 3rd gen groups (BTS, Mamamoo, AKMU) and some 4th (G-idle) and many solo artists

5:27 This "cookie cutter" image of Kpop , is what in many ways, actually made it harder for BTS to follow 2nd gen groups and be accepted by the mainstream.

I have been waiting for you to react to Boracity magazine's videos. Hope you watch more. 💜

There is a Seo Taegi clip that features BTS at his concert, hip hop dancing etc. I also think Bang had a wider vision than the other companies. SM focuses on Japan You are right BTS is not average, they were allowed to create. SM their songs are given to him. Psy had a song and he pitched it to Scooter Braun. It was still different because the song style is not something that could have longevity in the US. He did reach BB #2 I think, but again an American was behind them. They understood that heifer about put your hands down.

I love Boracity Magazine, she's a dedicated ARMY and always pulls out the receipts. She tells the hard truth. I highly recommend her summary of chapter 1 music, why there won't be another BTS and why industry is scared of BTS. Thank you for your reaction! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

There is so much to learn about Korean culture. It really impacts so much. Hate and jealousy is so ugly.

BTS "LET GO" ( STAGE MIX),reaction

PSY is still very successful and popular in Korea and has his own record label/entertainment agency, P nation, but yeah, his success in the west did not last real long

They've also received the same rude treatment on the red carpet. They look up to BTS.

So in conclusion. BTS PAVE THE WAY.... FULL STOP 💜💜💜💜

I did not know all that omg #bts 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Kpop also took from Motown training system where the groups were taught how to present themselves in publice how to do their hair and make up, what clothes to wear. How to speak etc etc.

KZread has a big part of it,. Back then Kpop Entertainments only see the traditional Media like TV and Radio is the only means of promoting their artists, but BIGHIT started promoting BTS on YT before their debut,. Concept, BTS popularized the concept of having a mini story/theme through out their album, the MVs are continues stories, it's like the Fans are anticipating what's going to happen to the story if their Song/MV are released,. It's like waiting for the next episode of your favorite fantasy series 😅

The hardships of Bts

BTS💜💜💜💯

K-pop is black music. They were accused of cultural appropriation because they did not give credit to Black artists. BTS is the exception to the rule in recognizing and crediting Black artists. The performance level came from Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson was the quintessential performer-the dance/ choreography. Jackson Wang of GOT7 collab with Ciera. BTS

Not only. Yes, R&B and Hiphop are major (!) stepping stones in K-pop but so are a ballads with the GP in SK and EDM & Pop. It's trickier in some genres to find the "original" and technically you could call all modern (at least from the 20th century) music genres connected to "Black music". I do think that J-Pop and J-Rock also had quiet interesting shows. Like most things it is complicated.

@the lonely dad ( hopefully you will see this 😔) nothing sadly hasn't changed with camera people they juuust recently did the same exact thing to k-poo group stray kids at met galla in nyc. And 2 of them in that group are Australian- Koreans. English is thier first Lang. The other 6 can speak eng for work but more comfortable w/korean.

I think the last point is so important, bts is like our gen Beatles/ Michael ect it’s not that they are comparable but they are that “it” group that won’t happen again BUT that doesn’t mean others aren’t amazing and another group/ person will eventually be that “it” person/group. K-pop Stan’s always wanna compare charts,records, ect but just be happy with how successful the group is and stop comparing them to the “it” person/group. Everyone is successful in their own right. Hope this makes sense I’m kinda tired 😂 basically there will never be another Michael Jackson, Beatles or bts but their will be a next “..” and if they aren’t they are still successful.

I LOVE YOUR REACTIONS SO MUCH!

And now we need your reaction to bts’s covers of first gen idols: Come back home(og Seo taiji) and Rainism (og Rain)

The thing is..... in Korea it is actually considered an honor when you copy someone. We have more individualism here in America.And get upset when someone copies us. But think about Dorthey Hamill haircuts ( do you remember her. from the Olympics)

Red carpet xenophobia: They did understand and it was V who left that stage after this and the boys followed.

PSY, IS KOREAN... AND WENT VIRAL THAT'S THE MORE IMPORTANT ONE. I ENJOYED HIS "GANGNAM STYLE." I GUESS IF HE HAS HIS "GANG" ... THEN IT WOULD BE A DIFFERENT STORY ... HE WOULD BE AT PAR WITH "BTS"... BECAUSE HE DANCES AS WELL ... AS QUICKLY AS "JIMIN" ... BUT WITH DIFFERENT STYLE.👍👍💖💖💖🙏

That's why it's always on your Facebook feed first kpop show up on events red carpet knowing BTS went except that fashion show stray kids attend.
