Would BTS be as popular as they are without visuals?

  • no


    this can be said for most kpop groups

  • Yes! I heard Butterfly first before I knew who sang it. That song was :pepelove1:


    Then BST happened. It was the concept that attracted me. I was awestruck with the choreo Dope's choreo which led me to marathon-watch all their dance practices.


    After that I watched Run, Bon Voyage. I only got to know each one of them there, tbh.

  • Also, if it was the visuals that attracted me to BS, why does my bias rotate among the 7 of them? It's the talent, you know,

  • I mean, BTS has members that are considered not conventionally attractive i.e not adhering to the Korean beauty standard.


    To be honest, I feel like the members all have their own unique looks, so they can appeal to different types of people.


    If they looked different, I'm sure some people might not be into them like they are now, but perhaps their looks would attract a different audience? It's hard to say.

  • there is a reason V is more popular than RM and Suga who are ovjectively the most talented members while he is one of the least talented ones. Armys would never admit it but visuals play a huge part in BTS' popularity, just like with any other group.

  • First yall call them ugly then say they're famous bcs of visuals pick a side lol

  • Yes.


    JHope, Rap Monster, Suga and Jin are all ugly.


    But they are still so popular.


    So either the other 3 are doing the heavy lifting, or their fans don't care about visuals.

  • BTS' fanbase covers so many countries so not everyone is only attracted to those who follow Korean beauty standard and instead have their own opinions on what is attractive. So yes, BTS would still be very popular.

    Well it's obvious isn't it, BTS are popular only because of their visuals but BTS visuals are also fail in front of any of their faves, the only difference is BTS visuals are promoted that's why they are popular :pepe-notes:

  • Probably not, a good chunk of armies only care about the youngest members

    tae has his own charm

    Promoted where? I dont see jin in any drama or any individual brand deals or cfs of BTS? Hybe gave V a 20 minutes role and called it a day.

  • Yes and no


    It’s a combination of their talents and personalities too.. Their visuals are not conventional (many still say BTS has many visual holes), but BTS are charming and very likeable.


    I for one didn’t get into BTS for their visuals. It was more due to their music and passion for their art (they are already talented but always worked so hard to achieve their best even now). I also admire their brotherhood and teamwork.

  • BTS is not a visual group overall but it's still the only group to have Taehyung and Jungkook, both of them crazy good looking. It's hard to tell where BTS would be without these two tbh.
