Places You Have Heard Butter Other Than Your Device?

Radio

I don't leave home

i see it at the supermarket sometimes

It was on the Top 40 radio in my city when I was driving last night!

Nowhere yet. *sadface*

That said, it took nine months for Dynamite to make it onto my shop’s company playlist! I only just celebrated that in the last week or two! 😂

And, tbh, you don’t generally expect to hear much like BTS playing while walking around my very little, middle-class, mostly white, suburban English town.

Nowhere yet but hopefully my local supermarket will. They played Boy with Luv.

Mood

Especially as I had finals lol

I remember hearing dynamite on the radio while I was waiting for my mum at a post office 'correos' back in Spain tho

But here in the UK/my uni town unless I go to our local Asda supermarket I usually don't hear the radio at all (and since I moved to another student room half an hour away from the center, I don't go to that shop anymore)

So I doubt I will hear it anytime soon unless I select it on my spotify

I mostly hear kpop outside of home when I go to the Korean market or a Korean food vendor like SomiSomi-which is not very often. I don't remember if they were playing any kpop the last time I went to Paris Baguette.

I'm in a tiny town in Wales and our local Asda had some BP and other kpop songs xD

Too bad i almost never went there (now even less)

There probably was some BTS at some point (and I was probably just unlucky timing wise)

Wow!!

I literally skipped all round my shop when I realised Dyna had been added to the playlist. They think I am at best ‘quirky’ and more likely straight weird for listening to Kpop and I got to have a moment of ‘See, told you it wasn’t just me!’

imo it helps in my case it's mostly a university town (over half of the population are students) and because our uni had a partner scheme with a chinese uni we had A LOT of asian here as well (and yeah, due to covid there was a a lot of issues going on and uni even ended up sending a few emails notice to stop the descrimination and threatening of sanctions. One of my old housemates was a chinese master student and we were pretty close, even together she had some issue from locals. It was pretty sad)

So age range, popularity of certain groups, plus quite big asian student population must have played a big part of it

But like I said, I almost never hear the radio here so it is hard to tell exactly (as I don't really eat out and such)

Edit: I remember back in Spain at a post office i was waiting for my mum to do her stuff and I heard dynamite, it took me a few seconds until it clicked to me what song it was and I said out loud 'MUM! BTS! IT'S BTS' (my parents know them because I went to a concert back in 2019 in Paris and it was the first concert I ever went to xD)

How crappy for your housemate.

Yeah, my town really is basically like living in a Waitrose advert... if I want to go to an Asian food shop even, I have to get on the train.

It was, as most were actually stuck for months without finantial aid as the chinese government wouldn't allow them to go back, and the only few plane tickets available were in the thousands of pounds (which most couldn't afford)

My roomate got stuck here until almost the end of her room contract and would have been kicked out (our landlord lady was a jerk) but at the same time she couldn't really sign another contract

Thankfully she finally managed to get a ticket back

I think things have calmed down

But tbh i don't really see that many asian anymore, guess we can only wait until the new year begins as this tome we are supposed to have face to face classes again

People better behave tho, as what happened last year was really shocking and truly embarrassing (both eu and international students started feeling pretty uneasy in general)

We have an asian shop, and quite a few chinese restaurants all around town xD the shop even started selling bobba teas bought from a shop in manchester once a week

We are quite lucky (although personally not really a fan of asian food)

i just heard it now from a neighboors garden who have the radio on almost 24h a day (they spare us during the night)

I live in a tiny town in Wales xD

Don't know if this counts but they have played a whole BTS playlist at McDonalds, including of course Butter. I live in a small ass town from an eastern european country btw.

Either they got their mcdonald menu and a way to promote it

Or as a way to apologise that they, in fact, don't have the BTS menu xD

Nope, they had the BTS menu so their music was definitely played for promotion haha
