I agree about Bigabang they are the kings of K-pop in South Korea. BTS is successful and all and that's good for K-pop in general, they are helping the economy, but Let's be real if BTS wasn't huge internationally they wouldn't be recognised for their music, because their music is not special like bigbang. I am not sure about TVXQ they were cool and did well for awhile I like Mirotic and that's it...
"They wouldn't be recognized for their music, because their music is not special like bigbang."
Considering this group you're talking about was not from the Big3, why do you think they got big? Visuals? Not when they were called ugly during their early years. The Baekhyun wannabe, or the ugly Rap Monster, or the fat Jimin, or the pimple infested Jungkook. But even then - they got big. They got recognized. Why? Because of their music and that's something hard to swallow for other kpoppies like you.
Let's not even talk about music being special because I feel the same away about BB's music - bland, loud, and mediocre; nothing special. The thing is, there are more people who appreciates the tannies' music more than your 2nd gen faves. It's not even debatable atp.
Btw, Time magazine literally called them The Princes of Pop.
