Why are only Bts ridiculed for wanting western validation when blackpink doing the same isn’t ?

  • Bp’s last album was 50% in English, they do a lot of collab with western artists, even their Korean songs are majorly in English, rosè’s solo was in English, Lisa had money that was in English, bp has also submitted songs multiple times for the Grammy’s and now they’ve even attended American award shows.

    I’m it’s clear that they target the west but why is only Bts ridiculed for it?

  • because kpop stans are hypocrites ! :pepe-firing:

  • Because 'BTS paved the way'. :-P


    But you are incorrect, a recent article on IU, shaded BP-Jennie specifically related to seeking Western Validation.


    So ridicule and getting irritated by ridicule - depends on which group you are obsessed with or obsessed against.

    You don't notice it otherwise or aren't bothered by it.

  • Because Blinks are hypocrites.

    Because they aren't?

    And they aren't a fully Korean group to begin with. One is Thai, the other is Australian and Jennie lived most of her childhood abroad. They are naturally inclined toward western music and style in general. They come from YG. So HIPHOP; So USA.

    It's how they were brought up. They way the speak, speak, act, dress, is all more western than Korean style.

    They aren't "trying" to seek western validation. They are more western then Korean to genii with.

  • Both are ridiculed and it's stupid imo, they want to access the biggest market, what's bad about it

  • at least blackpink can speak in english and you can understand when they sing in english

  • so this is what happened.


    armys were being annoying and dragging blackpink left and right after DDDD charted in hot 100 and saying blackpink want western validation and bts paved the way. So SM stans were like "man these armys are a bunch of hypocrites when bts were roaming around with that paper award seeking western validation when they didn't even chart in hot 100 yet" and sided with blackpink and their faves promoting in the west. This was the start of Great Battle of Kpop western validation. Armys and Onces vs Blinks and Sm stans. It ended in Armys victory with dynamite but the downfall came soon after for them when they were defeated by billboard and grammys(The Western Empire) and sent to die alone and exiled to lonely island.. Meanwhile, Blinks and SM stans although defeated are still going on with their lives and living in peace. Onces have lost all power and are in a battle with small nation called dives and in the brink of total defeat.

  • Only one out of the 4 members has lived her whole life in SK so it actually makes more sense for them to sing in English than in Korean. Especially Rosé whose first language is English. Also, Bp never made such stupid statements about them not being bp anymore if they start singing in English unlike bts boys. They didn't change the sound of their music either to make it more radio friendly for westerners.

  • blinks never shaded bts or army for western validation because BP has a lot of international fans... it was other kpoppies whose groups cdnt so anything in West who were shading

  • They have been ridiculed for it.


    Infallible rule for KPop. Whatever has been done to your faves has also been done to the idols you dislike. You just don't see it because you probably block anyone who ever puts their content on your timeline.

  • Because BP has never begged for the international validation and said they would never sell themselves into singing in english like BTS did with the grammys and saying they would never sing in english then going with Dynamite. BP simply never cared about cultural shit, they just wanted to make people happy with their music.

    Blinks are so eager for western validation that they are more than willing to ignore how the VMA humiliated BP. They directed all their anger at ARMY but are still licking the VMA’s feet. Keep chasing that western dream and eagerly look forward to BP being treated like trash. BP will suffer a lot but blinks won’t care and BP still won’t achieve what BTS achieved.

    this makes sense. I actually never thought about that. interesting....

    Humiliated how? They performed, got an award and got to present Anitta. How is that humiliation? Isn't it more embarrasing saying you will never sing an english song because you want to be stay true to yourself and then coming out with 3 english singles just to get a number 1?

    That’s what they are doing tho, and wtf does “sell themselves into singing English mean”? They are constantly singing in English begging for western validation it’s just Bts got it way before them and they are still struggling begging for collabs. There is a reason why their highest charting songs in the us are collabs
