Remember in 2020 when ppl were convinced BTS peaked?

    Approved the thread.

    they probably don't even care or they don't remember saying that. people have really short attention spans. sometimes they say shocking things for fun. don't take it so seriously.

    I could name names, but that would be messy

    you remember but they probably don't because most of this forum don't have that much of an attention span


    probably better to let go

    I do hope they do not live in las vegas. I can already imagine them being miserable…

    Normal kpop fans didn’t even know this ‘peaked’ talk was going on.

    you don’t remember that? it was a chaotic time

    Name names about what?

    Quote from OP

    users who liked to push the “bts is over/has-beens” narrative and got hit threads off that

    Ohhh. I didn't get how naming names about a band could be messy. Yeah that would be messy.

    The peak will be when fans no longer need to artificially inflate every release. When a fandom has the confidence to know that they can play a song any old way not following streaming "rules" and only buy one copy of an album, and the song will blow up anyway because the group is a household name and the general worldwide pop audience will love it - that will be the true peak.


    I don't think it will happen for any of the current biggest groups though. Maybe 5 years or so in the future.

    I swear it was all this forum talked about at one point in time, esp after BP had their comeback

    some users here going "they probably don't know anymore"... i promise you, these users know & they aren't happy lol.


    they genuinely believed on was the end for bts and the amount of celebration threads was almost iconic. they were so ready to crown their faves as the new #1. i will forever love dynamite for ruining all of those talks & showing again that underestimating bts is never a good idea.

    lol thank you, I knew I wasn’t imagining it. Some of these users sound a lil defensive if we’re being honest :)

    I don’t see what this has to do with my OP but okay I guess. I like BTS but I’ve never bought a single one of their albums or obsessively streamed tbh and I think they have a lot of fans who are like me.

    average kpop fan doesn’t use this though. I used to not use anything but insta and YouTube for kpop and I think that’s most ppl

    But, BTS’ physicals already peaked with MOTS7 already. They have not surpassed that in 2 years?

    BTS peaked in 2019 with BWL, at least in Korea, and in 2020 with Dynamite worldwide.

    kinda sad this all happened before allkpop revamped, seeing how bts doesn't have a cb atm, army would be having a field day bumping those old threads up...

    oh well, seeing bangtan thrive more than ever before does the trick too
