blackpink has GREAT english songs.
according to this article it was BoA with her Japanese album listen to my heart that had a track featuring an all-english track back in 2002
Though K-Pop started back in the early 1990s, K-Popās exposure to the rest of the world only really began after BoAās debut in 2000. After several years of moderate success in Korea and Japan, BoAās breakthrough came in 2002 with the release of her Japanese album Listen To My Heart. The album debuted at No. 1 on the Oricon charts and was a million seller, making BoA the first Korean singer with such an achievement in Japan. For the purposes of this piece, the album is notable because it features an English version of āListen To My Heart,ā the first of many English K-Pop releases. The Japanese market was K-Popās first stop in dominating the global music market, and BoA was its conductor. Other 1.5 generation groups like g.o.d, Chakra, and SHINHWA could have released English music, but none of them made quite the impression that BoA did on an international stage. -

First of all, RM said some ridiculous codswallop about how bts would never release music in English because their mother language was part of their identity and they'd never abandon it. So people naturally dragged them when they "abandoned their identity". Maybe if he wasn't a hypocrite. Second, armys have quite literally terrorised any kpop group that dared release English songs in the past few years, calling them sellouts, desperate and using RMās words above to humiliate them. Groups like nct and monsta x even had xenophobic insults thrown at them by armys. So many people were simply returning the favor to armys and calling them out on their hypocrisy. And finally, the only fandom that was crusty about blackpink releasing an English song was army.
It's easy to push a new narrative and try to victimise bts and armys but many of us were actually there to witness the real order of events and can see right through this crusty narrative.

all right all right, chill.
Can't they change their minds? Releasing an English song turned out to be great! Dynamite still hasn't left the charts and doing extremely well on Spotify too. BTS'S fame have more than tripled while contributing to the economy.
Okay and stop being crusty with ARMY.

RM was talking about an āEnglish Albumā in that interview. Nevertheless the crustiness is really evident as stated.
People can change their mind. LOL

Of course they can change their minds, there's nothing wrong with that. But you can't expect kpop fans not to react negatively after seeing their faves get dragged to hell and back, partly because of RMās words about identity.
OP was lying about bts and blackpink receiving special treatment for releasing English songs, how is setting the record straight "crusty"? Did I lie? Or are armys above getting called out on their shit behavior toward other groups?
-
maybe because some BTS fans kept calling it out whenever other groups released English songs, shoving the BTS "no English" quote in other fandoms' face at the time
this is just non-fans reminding those BTS fans and holding them accountable. nothing more. if you're not guilty of it, you got nothing to worry about.

You sound so bitter. All this bitterness can't be good for you kkkkk

Then find those exact fans and remind them then? Don't bring BTS and fans who don't even know what you're talking about into this

and you sound like you have nothing to say.
anyway, it is interesting seeing armys here call this petty crusty when they have been doing the same thing to everyone else in kpop in the past few years because of exols and vips.

First of all stop twisting the man's words and put yourself in their shoes. They were just starting off and bombarded with questions about when they were gonna start singing in English. It would piss literally anyone off if other people clearly couldn't embrace you for you and wanted you to change to be popular. That was all before the number 1 on BB 200. At the time they wanted to show that they can be successful in their own language by their own right ! That they did not need to release an ENGLISH ALBUM, and that was what the question was about, to get popular in the US !
They got a number 1 with a KOREAN ALBUM and a top 10 on the song chart with a KOREAN SONG !
Now the difference between BTS verses these other kpop groups trying to get a leg to stan on in the US is that :
- They were already ON the Billboard charts, climbing up step by step before they even debuted officially in the US !
- They were already making history for KPOP with the largest US audience EVER - Selling out 3 days of ARENAS back to back (5 in total) in the US before they even DEBUTED officially in the US.
- They were already NOMINATED for an award at the BBMAs before they even debuted officially in the US
- They had already gotten 1s on the Billboard album charts and climbing the song charts getting top 4 with a KOREAN single (and multiple KOREAN song entries) ON THEIR OWN before they even decided to PROMOTE in ENGLISH officially.
- They had already PROVEN themselves with their KOREAN singles and albums and showed that it was only a matter of time before they dominated !
- THEY CLEARLY DID NOT NEED ENGLISH SINGLES NOR DID THEY NEED AN ENGLISH ALBUM
- NOR were they forcibly sent to the west in hopes of achieving some grand dream as the clear objective. FANS were practically the ones to open up the US stage for them
These boys had and have NOTHING more to prove. So if they want to sing in English, Spanish, French, German whatever they can go right ahead, they are justified. And if kpop stans want to hang onto RM's words in the past about their identity then they can go right ahead because at the end of the day BTS have already proven themselves as a Korean artist and will continue to break their own records while these other boy groups groups will continue to struggle to get out of BTS' shadow and to break BTS' records.
