Back When BTS Was Nugu, What Did People Say About Them?

better than few making up stories. bts was not big.

People did check them out but kpoppies began to hate on them when they got scared of their potential

Quote from ArmyBlink0

I kind of got inspired to make this thread because of icyruios. So I was wondering, what did people say about BTS when they were nobodies back then?

Where they appreciated or did no one really check them out?

have you watch this video?

people can easily said they stan/unstan BTS, but its better if you really know who are them.
this video kind of sum up their journey from nobodies to legend
and thats why I can only stan them.

i heard bts name before stanning them in dope era

I remembered in before people said about :

- their synchronized dance / hard coreos

- many member created many iconic memes

- their won at best korean act or something in 2014-2015

Try not to attack me for this post if you can. I don't have the energy right now to argue.

Have a good day everyone.

I don't know them when they were a nugu

Well if they were truly nugu then I don't think anyone would be talking about them at all

From what I have heard from people who used to stan them/still do (these people gave me their honest takes, so you may expect to hear little difference in hings than what you are used to hearing)

They were hated for being different by big fandoms (a pretty petty thing to do) . Their fan following grew gradually.

They weren't nobodies. But rather a little too unknown. There's a difference.

As for checking them out, Back then, Brainwashing wasn't as much prominent (from what I have heard) as much as it is now, So people did check them out because they were INTERESTING.

2015 saw a spark in the growth. It grew into a fire in 2016 and rest is history.

Have a good day everyone.

You just had to phrase it has "brainwashing"

My dude no one is doing that over a kpop group? Sure there might be some false narratives that spread online cause it's the internet, but "brainwashing"? Really?

I suggest you to watch the video I send, and you may know better about them, since you keep saying you are an army, at least you know who are you stanning. :)

Fck. I meant false narratives. I'll edit it for more clear picture.

People were actually praising them so much because they were already such excellent performers when they debuted. I lurked BTS thread on the old OH it has all the contents from their debut and saw many loved them for their hip hop music, their down-to-earth personalities (Bangtanbomb) and performance skills. It was only until 2014-2015 that all the negativity arrived because certain big bg fandoms felt threaten by their potentials, they started making stupid accusations against them. You can watch the vid some have posted for specific events.

I'm not trying to attack you or anything but what do you mean by brainwashing?

False narratives to harm a group's image. We see that more often in KPOP (by all fandoms)

I mean I get what you're saying but I don't think it's relevant for this conversation. As you said it's done by all fandoms, so there was no need to mention it.
