So, a Reddit post say that Kiss of Life gonna be the next big thing following a similar path to Bts

"The next BTS"

"The next BTS"

I'm tired

Every rapping boy group including BTS were called "Next BigBang" back in the day, get used to it. The day nobody says "Next BTS" would be the day they'd no longer be the biggest act of Kpop.

Nothing against the girls, I acknowledge they are a very talented group but they should all strive to be the next them. And their fans need to stop setting them up. ARMY hates anyone media playing their group as the next BTS more than anything while downplaying BTS in the same breath. If they take off, it will be because of them.

What even happens in reddit should stay at reddit.

BTS were NEVER called "the next BigBang" I need you to bfr. That would have gotten nugu af ARMY and BTS dragged to hell and back.

Every year somebody says this about a new group

it's good to be optimistic

They were lol even they felt flattered to be compared to them I remember Jungkook mentioning GD as his rolemodle

Let's give this a rest. The "Next BTS" has been found. Namjoon, Seokjin, Yoongi, Hoseok, Jimin, Taehyung and Jungkook. They all debuted. Keep track of them. One of them will be catapulted to the very top.

No, they weren't. Non-fans that weren't around their nugu/debut years need to stay mute. They were accused of copying BigBang because of non-rap line members liking them. And Jungkook has not mentioned GD since 2016 so we need people to move tf on.

They were compared to bigbang and they were dragged for it. Why do you think nugu 2013/14 bts attracted the vitriol of big3 stans?

They weren't compared OMG please don't let kpop stans that joined two seconds ago rewrite the narratives. Only some members of vocal line had BB members as role models and vipers instantly took that as a personal attack that they would copy BB from then on. Not that they would be the next Bigbang

Vips didn't drag BTS bcs they thought VL would copy bb tho? They saw nugu BTS as a threat and therefore took to discrediting everything BTS did. In this case bcs some BTS members had bb members as their role models by some moronic twist of logic that meant BTS would never be able to overtake bb and would always live in their shadow. You even see the occasional vip on twitter still thinking this way.

How many times have we heard that about so many groups? People think that just because they like this one group who isn’t big yet, they’ll be big like bts. Basically saying if bts could do it, why not them?

Some K-pop fans are really gullible, forgetting that this is real life and not a fantasy

I think people also forget BTS was always building up their domestic and international fandoms side by side.

2015 - INU was their first song that did pretty well in Korea.. that same year was their first BB200 entry with HYYH pt 2.

2016 - Fire/BST (and the entire album in general for HYYH:YF) both did well on kcharts, they won MMA Album of the year & MAMA Artist. At the same time this was when they started topping the Social 50 (what would get them to the BBMAs in 2017) and became the first kpop act to chart in the top 30 of BB200 with WINGS at #26 and it charted for more than 1 week.

2017 - Spring Day -- do i even need to say anything about this song in korea...all i'll say is MMA SOTY in 2017. It also charted on the Bubbling Under Hot 100. this year was their "break out" internationally where they as a group actually started to decide to try giving themselves a push there. BBMAs 2017 happened. AFter this DNA was released with LY HER... which did insanely well in both KOREA & internationally with the only reason DNA not peaking at #1 in Korea being because they released alongside an IU release, and well DNAs international success is known (Hot 100 + 4 weeks charting), followed by Mic Drops (#28 peak with 10 weeks charting) and this continued.

So one can see... BTS always built up both their international and domestic success together side by side. and many forget it

The way this needs to be brought up everytime kpop stans start their “BTS became popular in Korea after gaining western success” lol

If all what they needed was a billboard #1, then boy groups should be ruling kcharts by now

Also I think most kpop stan nowadays forget just how big BTS were internationally even before their 2017 American breakthrough, it wasn't just 'hype' they had the numbers to back it up.
