Spero 853 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 + they're very hands-on with their music and they have creative control. They produce their own stuff, they have a say in the concepts, choreos, etc. All these break the stereotypes of Americans who used to be very close-minded with how 'manufactured' they deemed Kpop to be.

Oliver 22,442 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 BTS’s success is incredible .. they went above and beyond and set a new standard for the KPOP industry as a whole .. they’ve already reached legendary status .. especially considering that they haven’t even been trying to appeal to the western audience like releasing English music and abandoning Korea .. all of that is even more impressive considering they’re not a big 3 group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whysoserious? 1,141 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Bts are like a male shounen protagonist Same thought. Ever since I stanned them, I've felt like I'm supporting an underdog team in a sport anime or something. I have to always remind myself they're real people who actually exist lol.

My exact thoughts! Thats why I am glad it's them that's becoming the face of Kpop to the world. All biases aside-there is no one who can claim to be artists that take their craft seriously be it writing, composing, dancing, singing, rapping; and also not afraid to show the humane side to them,their flaws and imperfections plus also serve looks and attitude at the same time. Theirs is a story we will tell for long even after they are no longer on the top... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

â„“ucieâ„“â„“e 2,514 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 They are the underdogs who found success in what they love yet they still remain humble and don't forget where they came from, that's what people respect about them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi in the egg shelf 556 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 They’re the legendary underdog story that happens once in a lifetime That’s why it feels so good to watch them succeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinAi 3,245 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 You know stanning them since they were called 'nugu' here and there, i just.. sometimes i still can't process how much Successful they are now, my simple wishes was i hope their music will be recognized and appreaciated on a large scale, heard by many people, that even south korea can't help but appreciate them because that's how much i approved their music, how much i want other people to feel what i feel when discovering their music .. and like it's all happening one by one and i'm witnessing. things like this just happen once in a lifetime.

Aliens-United 19,785 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 BTS' whole rise to the top is basically all the ingredients of a Disney movie. They are K-pop's Cinderfellas. Cinderella has Fairy Godmother. BTS have themselves BTS Fairy Godmother are ARMYs who went above and beyond for them. They are to BTS in the West what Cassies were to TVXQ in Japan. But ARMYs wouldn't be there for them if they didn't deserve it or put the work in to get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJK 4,667 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Cinderella has Fairy Godmother. BTS have themselves The analogy isn't that direct. "Cinderella story" isn't a term that refers to someone being given fortune, it simply refers to an underdog or an unknown who rose out of obscurity to achieve far greater success than anyone could have expected. And that fits BTS perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if she was the daughter of a Rich man, he died and she ended up being horribly mistreated by her stepmother. She was basically a servant in her own household and did not get to enjoy any of the benefits of her father's wealth. Even living with a poor family who loved her would've been a better circumstance than the one she ended up in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was just abused and all her rights was taken away from her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
