🇵🇪 Queremos compartir con ustedes esta interesante reflexión del periodista peruano René Gastelumendi Luna sobre BTS.

"BTS Made Me Eat My Words"

I was wrong. I let my own generational biases get the better of me.

For many of us watching the BTS phenomenon from the outside, whether for work or out of sheer curiosity, these young Korean men seemed like nothing more than a manufactured product. Seven young Asian men dancing in perfect sync in front of hundreds of thousands of screaming fans.

It's the kind of easy prejudice that comes from thinking you understand something you actually don't know a damn thing about. You dismiss it with comments like, "It's all marketing, some kind of black magic. They're plastic dolls, cute little guys singing catchy songs, like Menudo or New Kids on the Block, but Asian."

Life is full of surprises.

When I started doing some research so I'd have something to say about the reports of hysteria, excitement, and everything else I was supposed to cover from the studio, I got a reality check. A well-deserved one.

I barely scratched the surface before realizing I hadn't understood a thing. I was just an older guy completely out of touch with the subject.

Today, these guys are between 29 and 33 years old, and behind the overwhelming popularity lies a conceptual and sociological depth that much of Western pop music abandoned decades ago.

Let's break it down.

Pure, unadulterated philosophy

They don't settle for manufactured love songs. They've built entire albums around Carl Jung's psychoanalytic theories. Yes, Carl Jung!

They explore the human mind, breaking down the Persona (the social mask we wear to fit in or gain approval on social media), the Shadow (our repressed fears, guilt, and darker sides), and the Ego.

In other works, they draw directly from Hermann Hesse and his novel Demian to portray the harsh realities of growing up: understanding that maturity isn't a smooth or forgiving journey, but one that requires breaking out of your shell and confronting your own contradictions.

That's what their lyrics are about!

Their music also delivers direct social criticism.

From their earliest songs, they've confronted systemic inequality, the suffocating pressures of the Asian education system, the job insecurity facing their generation, and the relentless expectation to perform like machines.

They've also challenged one of the biggest taboos in their society: mental health. They've spoken openly about depression, panic attacks, and the emptiness of feeling like you don't fit into the expectations imposed by older generations.

The symbolism and sense of community are remarkable.

This isn't just empty hysteria. It's a community with fascinating traditions and shared meanings.

The purple they use isn't merely decorative. It symbolizes loyalty and trust that endure over time.

Their metaphor of the 52-hertz whale (a whale that sings at a frequency no other whale can hear) captures the loneliness and isolation of young people who feel misunderstood.

At concerts, fans exchange handmade gifts known as freebies. And when the band stopped accepting expensive presents, fans redirected that money toward charitable causes, including community kitchens and reforestation projects.

Before dismissing them, I think it's worth looking beneath the surface.

These aren't just shallow guys standing on a stage. They're both a reflection of their generation and an emotional refuge for millions of young people, and even adults, in a world that stopped giving a damn about them a long time ago

Not a single one of you can put up with the amount of vitriol BTS is subjected to.

A mere disagreement from moots who don't even know you have y'all shitting your pants and muting your tweets.

However, BTS? They're meant to just be okay with it.
The fans? They're meant to sit on their thumbs and just watch as people say the nastiest, most hateful things they won't dare to say to anyone in their miserable lives.

I know it's cool to not be sympathetic to celebrities because they're millionaires and apparently that insulates them but you people who defend actions like these are horrible people.

You lot have dehumanised BTS to an unhealthy point and it is genuinely scary and jarring to see y'all stand in your psychopathy.
