SOUTH KOREA APOLOGIZE TO BTS
"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?β
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 β Korean media and βknetzβ still want to, oddly enough, bring down the ONLY group that makes them relevant on the world stage.
