Was BTS at the right place at the right time?

Well, when BTS debuted, there’s already Bigbang and Exo both already successful and from rich labels compared to BTS’ Bighit which was on the verge of bankruptcy. Exo and Bigbang were also at the “right time” if you think about it.

Luck among other things i guess

Even if the whole world knows them if their songs sucks. They've wouldn't even on their position now.

They're my ult group, but anyone who says timing and luck didn't play a huge role in their success are lying.

Some things are just meant to be...

Because.... It's DNA

La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la

Because it's not a coincidence, DNA

La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la

Because it's not a coincidence, DNA

Werent the other 100s groups in 2013 at the right place and the right time too?

I guess you just have to be the right group too. A once in a lifetime event, I think

Quote from Drew_B

Everyone knows BTS lives rent free in my head. And one of their rooms is me contemplating why them of all the 2000 boy groups since kpop started became the biggest ever.

Were they the right group at the right time? Meaning if they debuted just three years earlier or later they would never have become what they are today?

Or do ARMY truly believe even if they debuted in 1985 they still would have become the biggest ever?

Yes BTS were at the right time. They all have great talents but we must acknowledge that Alot of luck lead to their success as well. Had BTS been created during 2nd gen or slightly after they would not be where they are due to a large variety of factors

Here we go again

I think the years of failure without giving up before they started gaining steam in 2016 was a big part of it. The consistent comebacks and not giving up gave a lot of content to gather a lot of fangirls little by little overtime.

It's more the right members at the right time.
