Almost 80% of BTS success is from Armys not because they releases good music. Do you really think US invites BTS here and there because they are BTS? No. Its because they know how big their fandom and how much money they can get

The focus should be on the number of diehard fans BTS has earned over the years, not on whether or not some random Hollywood celebrities, who might not even know much about music, love BTS.

BTS worked hard and earned themselves the fans they have now. Nothing can take that way from them.

As for celebs, American award shows, and all that... They'll continue kissing up to whatever and whoever is hot at the moment. The instant things slow down a bit, they'll forget and move to the next big thing. That's just how it always is.

This is not the drag you are thinking of especially when the reason why their fandom exists is because of their music.

Hence,

Bts creates music. Fans consume music. Media invites them because they have fans. More fans added to the ever growing fandom.

OP really thought they did something. That's true for literally the whole music industry. There are so many talented indie artists who make better music than Cardi B, Shawn Mendes, Lil Nas X etc but they don't get invited to do the same gigs because they have zero popular reach.

Quote from Steamed Chestnuts & Venison (369)

Crazy right the amount of fans they gathered while releasing bad music (based on what akp experts said).

I wonder where is the fans of what akp expert considered as good music gathered (other than here).

Or is just proof that what's called good music here is just something that is not likeable elsewhere.

Food for thought maybe?

to akpers? Maybe noise?

Quote from Tenderized Sour Horse (351)

Usa gp don't give a f about bts. But they're invited because army are loud on social media and that makes a better reputation for the show. Even if it's only temporary as the time bts appearance

Imagine the power of BTS and ARMY.

i feel bad for k acts pushed by their big companies for years now but get no results in the us

Is that not true for every artist invited to TV shows? Wtf are you even saying at this point. Most people get gigs and invitations because of the influence awarded to them by fans and gp. The other half get them through connections. You really thought you spilled I-

You do realize that all artists owe their success to fans or GP listening to their music if the demand wasn't there all the artists you see on shows wouldn't be invited

everyone knows OP is bulshitting, but you just know many bitter anti's think like this and it confuses me so much. How do you explain bts doubling & tripling their fandom each year? how do you think e.g. Cardi get their gigs?

bitterness is blinding peoples logic, i guess?

And which US artistes have been invited to shows without having clout?? Pray do tell me who

I wanna know what nugu act is that??

US media works with clout. Clout is money and that’s how it works for all these other big acts.

But how do you think BTS built their clout? By releasing good music. Armys weren’t born with army bombs already set to stan BTS. We were nurtured gradually to the size we are now. If you think millions of people supporting something does not mean anything or there isn’t something special about particular act, then you better go back and reflect on your life

BTS have been releasing average stuff for the past two years. Seriously, no one outside their fandom listens to their generic music

Average? Maybe for you. Not for gp. Ever since they released 'average' music, they've been growing leaps and bounds even without a new album.

Heck, just heard Butter playing at a huge household hardware chain.

Funny how their current songs ended your faves everywhere. BTS getting some of the biggest hits these past years exposed your salty arse.

BTS discography is 98% korean. ARMYs don't understand them in the beginning but most of us learn to study their lyrics, their story.. We learn to appreciate their talent. There's more to their music than what you think music is. All ARMYs that I know personally loves their music first and foremost.

Armys means liking and supporting BTS. If anyone else is that worthy they too will do well. So far nobody is remotely close.
