Seems like bighit sees a potential market in india

didn't dynamite no.1 on spotify india for a long time and tons of celebrities there did cover of them and said they are bts fans?

with bollywood being that huge, bighit would be stupid and ignorant not to take advantage of the opportunities. but going from past records they always know how to grab onto opportunities when it present itself so this is a step in the right direction. i hope bts will do more prez there and maybe a couple concerts there too. my indian armys friends would be so happy

How much are the charging for an album over there?

It might be a potential market. They might not ever go mainstream bc we Indians take great pride in our culture and music. But that doesn't mean they can't have a huge fanbase here. If people here can listen to Despacito without understanding a single word, I'm sure BTS would have no problem.

Oh wow, I'm happy to see TXT boys promo in my country

Sometimes I sacrifice wit to put forth some much needed social insight.

but india really isnt open to any korean acts at all

Really excited for TXT

You're an alt that's about to get banned. Say your goodbyes

India reminds me of China as their own markets complete dominate but do they have super powerful bars? I could see bts members having powerful Indian bars similar to the Chinese bars where they buy lots of albums and then they can sell out stadiums!

nobody buys albums here. just stream music online. I've never been to a store that sells any albums if I'm being honest.

Indian bars?

five star is a nice one.

Quote from paradis

??? Several Indian Armys are buying the album including me.

Amazon? bc I've never seen people sell any albums in a shop.

Ohhhhhh

Smart move. India population is more than a billion.

Weverse, Amazon, Ktown4u.

online shopping? interesting. I'm pretty sure shipping costs are way too much.

Quote from paradis

You have never purchased a BTS album? You can check out the price on Weverse or Amazon when the preorder for Essential comes out.

nope. probably might purchase an album in the future but not now bc I'm still a student.

Not an Army but an Indian. I love how the Indian Armies are working really hard for BTS. A lot of Big or Known Indian Meme Pages use xenophobic, racial slurs, and whatnot for BTS and shame fans like us. But Indian Armies never stopped supporting BTS and tried their best to shut down those trollers. Since I entered that Kpop world in 2016, I knew how bad it was for Indian Armies, with the continuous shaming no one ever wanted to bring up anything regarding Kpop to non- Kpop fans. I can see the difference now, small kids in my society know about BTS.

I always wanted to tell this to Indian Armies because all my friends are armies and they have a soft place in my heart, I was able to discuss anything with them without feeling ashamed of being a Kpop fan. (yes it was that bad @2016 in my school)

This really made me tear up

Good job Indian armys

Population doesn’t really mean much lol. Countries like Indonesia have like 300 million people but they have low album sales. But concerts/ YouTube views if bts reach India will be huge. World domination!!

wow did not know indian armies/ kpop stans were on this forum! I hope we get a concert some day in future. I really want to see the boys perform live at least once in my life

I’m both suprised and amazed!

Indian culture seem very strong but also very different from kpop.

I hope Indian fans will be rewarded w concerts once this panademic is over ..

And that's smart of them

Omg that interview seemed so cute and fun. I actually would have liked BTS to have done a more fun segment during their interview. It’s seemed too serious looking back.

taehyun trying Hindi was gorgeous.

amazon isn't an official seller tho.. those sales don't even count towards charts. they charged around 7k for BE
