You do realize that ANYTHING an artist releases while under contract with a label.. said label can influence or alter that right.

There’s no reason why Yoongi wouldn’t be able to fully express himself in an offical release.. If D-2 was an offical album what changes? He still got into a scandal even with it being a mixtape.

Not sure about other companies, but with BigHit they have specifically said that they don't interfere but allow the members to use their resources if they want to. Yoongi has said the same thing in his vlives. And I never said that he can't express himself in other albums, just that with company released albums you have to be mindful of what you put out and make sure it is in accordance with whatever limits they have (like passing music show qualifications for example). So again mixtapes >>> official releases if you want to learn even more about ur fav

Quality is subjective lol. This is why I don't take any award shows that base their awards off "quality" seriously because at the end of the day, everyone has their own opinions about what is quality and what isn't quality.

Then why do so many ppl pitch a fit about award shows that give awards based on sales/charts? I see the "no quality" argument all the time with those

Sort of unrelated to OP's question, but I think that mixtapes are the better route for artists if they want to show solo material. Without the company's influence on the project, you can see what the artist themselves truly wants to show and what they want to say. Yoongi for example blew shit up in D2 and I learned so much of how he thinks from it. In the classic bangtan albums, we only see snippets of that personality. So mixtapes >>> solo albums

Wow, that is scary number in less than a month! That list is who BTS's real competition is this year

i mean, I wouldn't have high expectations since this is just the standard version of an album that is already out, not a repackage or anything. The people most likely to buy it are those who didn't buy the deluxe. Plus the sales will just be included in the overall sales of BE, potentially bringing the total to 4 million (

Lol at you complaining about 1 standard version when some groups have 15+ of the exact same album

If Dis-ease doesn't get an MV.....

BTS for breaking into the US without meaning to but succeeding anyway

Literally no one say this

Interesting read. Think this topic is unwarranted when BTS are and have been beyond the genre for a while now. It's like debating Taylor Swift's popularity against country artists despite her becoming a global and mainstream artist. It's a fruitless conversation

Singing: BTS....they have the most unique voices that actually sound good together which is a very difficult thing to happen when you put multiple singers together

Rapping: the rapline of BTS have no competition lyrically or sonically, period.

Dancing: Bangtan (obviously)

Stage Presence: BTS, how they manage to turn every venue into a their own concert speaks volumes (ex. iHeart Jingle Ball)

This hypothetical situation can be used for any artist and their viral hit. For example would Thank You Next be as big if Ariana didn't do it? No it wouldn't. Same with Dynamite.

Yikes, someone was trying to bring BB into this conversation

Wow Karma really is an Army! Crazy how BTS was the only one LV actually tweeted about! When things like this happen, I'm reminded of what Tae said in Burn the Stage that they could have gotten much more famous much faster because of all the global offers they got but as a group they decided to slow things down and focus on the music and the fans!

You need to get in touch with reality, y’all push this agenda that Blackpink aren’t known in the US when in fact they are

I live in the US. Beyond the kpop niche, they arent known. No kpop group is, even BTS they know only by name or face. But if you want to talk pushing agendas, speak to those who think wherever BTS is mentioned, BP should be too

maybe because she sees how inspirational BTS and their message are and enjoys their music? xyz kpop groups don't fit that bill

Quote from myaza

The low ratings of all the previous big boybands show how poorly viewed the whole genre is. BTS has had to deal with this prejudice in addition to the reputation of kpop and the language barrier to get any recognition. Its has taken years of incredibly good, outstanding albums to even start getting these scores, though they deserve higher.

wow great point! It's truly mind-blowing how many barriers BTS have had and how they STILL managed to excel despite all the things that have set them up for failure

Who even comes close to making masterpieces like this? BTS are the complete package musically, lyrically, performance and personality wise.

I am glad their artistry is recognised atleast to some extent, though still not enough for my liking.

Definitely not close to enough. Hope that changes this year

Not surprised. Most of those boybands you listed sing about fluff while BTS write with songs with a poetic spin.

Quote from hopemin

maybe she actually likes them, but this is definitely also a calculated move especially after seeing armys/tiktokers trolling trump earlier this year. politicians are aware of armys power, and they'll take advantage of this, whether we like it or not.

Yeah I don't think it's that deep....
