The feeling of kakatapos mo lang mag exam tapos medj badtrip kasi di ganon naka answer tapos pag labas mo pa ang lakas ng ulan tsaka walang masakyan and then I opened twitter and here I am crying in jeep because of this news "BTS is enlisting". Kinda expected it already because
"Would a country that celebrated the group's 10th anniversary just a year ago with festivals and grand fireworks now be willing to turn its back on those who contributed so much to its shine?”
This article hits the nail on the head. It presents the facts, strips away the bullshit, and reveals the absurdity of the situation. A money-hungry communications expert is now raging against the very company that helped her achieve her wealth ambitions. It's strange that Korea, as a whole, seems so ready to turn against BTS, considering how much they have contributed to its global image.
Korean dramas, beauty products, cuisine, and music existed before BTS, and no one is disputing that. Over the decades, there were sporadic sparks of international interest, such as Wonder Girls' "Nobody," Psy's "Gangnam Style," and more recently, "Parasite" and "Squid Game." However, none of these were able to achieve and most importantly sustain global fame like BTS has with their global ARMY.
No other cultural phenomenon has spurred such widespread interest in Korean language education, cuisine, music, art and literature. BTS has made Korea more appealing and accessible to the world. The fact that "Do you know BTS?" has become an icebreaker among world leaders at summits speaks volumes about BTS's influence on Korea's soft power on the global stage."
But over a decade on – Korean media and “knetz” still want to, oddly enough, bring down the ONLY group that makes them relevant on the world stage.
Tbh I’m not worried about BTS’ career. They will always have millions of army and casual listeners who dgaf about all this to support them. I’m more worried about their mental state rn…
need y'all to understand that bts didn't get successful because of that industry and media but DESPITE it.. they were never a factor for their success.. BTS core fandom is outside the country and that's how they began too and they can't destroy that lmao.
@JoongAngDaily Skorea you never fail to be that dumb ass shit s*ckers after everything these boys have done, you all are doing these dirty shits back again?!!!
i HOPE that when BTS resumes their group activities, South Korea gets little to no taste of it while the rest of the world celebrates and enjoys their return
no apology will ever make up for the shit they put BTS in especially during the time they cant speak up for themselves
Be angry. We have a right to be. Express your anger. We have a right to do that too.
But try to not be overtaken by fear and worry. We will be okay. BTS will be okay.
