BTS’ White House Press Briefing Draws in 310k Viewers

Their impact is crazy

It's great that people are still showing interest (which isn't a surprise to me at all, I mean it's BTS), but this sort of rhetoric is exactly what I thought I would see. The event is being used to make a point about BTS' relevance or army's power, like it's a competition, distracting from the issues at hand.

Plus fans are talking about their hair, how handsome they looked, armys achievements as a community, things members did that can be meme-ified, and now there's an article about fans noticing that the attention of the press was on Jimin. It all gets turned into a spectacle.

i was one of them

Vegas had the over/under at 320,000 viewers . Once again, BTS fails to meet expectations.

Should they even release the album?

bts, our nugu flops

I’m glad people tuned into to bts sharing a positive message. Always proud of them for using their platform

their speech was two minutes long, and the reason why they got here was to talk with the president. we didn't get much content to talk about and armys already know their position on the matter. there's nothing wrong with armys joking around and making memes, that doesn't distract from the cause

WTf is wrong with you? No one is calling this a spectacle except you, the #1 negative Nancy on the worldwide web. There were reporters from Korean and Japan inside the briefing room BEAMING with joy to witness Korean spoken at the WH podium for the first time. This whole month has been a celebration of Asian Heritage in the country. Good Morning America has been featuring Asian cuisine weekly. Representation and diversity are on full display.

You should be the one to shut up if you are bringing up this kind of negativity to downplay a historic moment for Asians and Asian Americans.

The only one making it a spectacle here and belittling it is you... really hate this take

and some said fans are leaving BTS 😢

BTS should be the speakers for the president

Everyone and their mama knows why BTS was invited and I’m glad it paid off. Their biggest strength is their platform and clout and they are one of the biggest influentials to bring awareness to any topic at hand.

Heard the press briefing drew one of the biggest crowds they have seen in a long time
