kxjay_ 718 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 As a non-army, I can safely say that BTS has surpassed 1D in more ways than one, long time ago. You still living in 2014 OP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeTaS 3,372 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Not yet in the west, but worldwide yeah. 1D was never really popular in Asia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC3 3,339 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 they haven't yet, they need to get a song that the public knows but compared to the rest of the world, like Asia, they may have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkCake 1,161 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Idk, the fact that they don't speak english and are Korean is a bigger barrier But still, having two albums going #2 on bb200 with those pure sales should be recognized, plus they don't have half of the back up 1d had for going WW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1065k 99 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 1D sold 50m records ww that's a achievement that is hard to surpass I don't think BTS can surpass 1D at their peak but who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeatrixKiddo 6,468 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 If they start winning ~western~ awards that don’t have to do with social media, have the highest grossing tour in a certain year and amass more than ~50 million album sales then yeah.

HoneyPopCupcake 2,421 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I don't think so. People saying they already have is probably biased, they will? maybe, they have? Not really. Anyways I'm here for their music and them, not for who they surpass or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimchi-nyoen 11,038 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 A lot of delusional kpop fans here lmao.. They are not singing in english so no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aelir 327 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 In Asia yes, not in the West. I mean, it's pretty logical that asian boybands will be privileged in Asia since asian fangirls will prefer local boybands and in the West , western fangirls will prefer their local boyband.

BBIIBBII 2,125 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 they're not a group of white boys so even if they made x1000 more than one direction they'll never be accepted the same way by the backward ass world we live in, unfortunately. just look at the mess that happened to nct last night at the amas. racism against asian celebrities is alive and well.

Digiwon 5,843 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Honestly, I think they're already more popular than 1D now But I was never into 1D and they already disbanded so I'm not the proper person to compare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
