Hmm, at some points their voices sounded a little over processed, like when Jimin sings "talk is cheap" for the first time. Nonetheless, it was a great performance. the dance break is fire. wish the lighting were better.

Well it's a good thing I didn't do that and actually made a thread for people with IQs over 90.....
Some of you are pushing your luck with your comments.
You: We all know Blackpink is #2 behind BTS, but records were made to be broken. Can Blackpink pull ahead of BTS with a Dynamite-sized hit?
You: But I'm not pitting them against each other

Hmm but any industry “push” BTS has had has only come after years and years of proving they had demand in the West. BTS have been very popular in the U.S. since 2016 but only this past year has any of their singles got even a fraction of the support an American artist with the same popularity would receive by default.
In my opinion, they’re still not pushed as much as your average Western act. I feel like if BTS were all white American boys doing the same huge numbers, you’d hear their song on the radio every 5 minutes and you’d see them everywhere. Their play listing is still not that great.

As a mixed person, this conversation is just sad. No one is allowed to tell anyone else how much they “count” as a member of their own ethnicity. Even if she’s just 1/4 Filipino, that’s part of her heritage
anyway, her music is okay. It reminds me of Avril Lavigne. I see why teens relate to her lyrics but to me, drivers license is kinda cringe.

Yeah. I mean, don't get me wrong. A significant portion of the Japanese public hate anyone/anything Korean and will never like BTS no matter what they do. But BTS' achievements still make the news in Japan, people are aware of them. If you walk around Tokyo long enough, you'll hear Dynamite playing.
I've seen Jnetz say that they used to hate anything Hallyu related but Dynamite changed their mind, so who knows. BTS are experts at creating fans I guess.

Wish we had some J armys to let us know how they are coming across there
I just lurk on Japanese sites, but I've noticed that Dynamite has boosted BTS' recognition with the Japanese GP a whole lot. Like, it's done way better than their Japanese singles in terms of streaming, radio play, downloads etc.
I think the fact that Dynamite is a) in English and b) went #1 on the Hot100 has a lot to do with it. BTS' global popularity puts them in a different category as compared to other kpop acts. It's kinda hard to explain, but I think the Japanese GP views a lot of kpop groups with skepticism that they're just in Japan to make a quick buck with poorly made remakes of their Korean tracks. Obviously, there are exceptions like Twice, Kara, DBSK etc
Anyway, I think Japan has started to view BTS as just ~global pop stars~ who don't really need an explanation for being popular, same as Western pop stars who are popular in Japan. Since Dynamite is in English, the Japanese listeners can't complain about hearing Japanese sung in a Korean accent. I do think that makes a difference, as we can see with Butter vs Film Out.
My impression is that the kpop trend in Japan has died down significantly compared to where it was in the early 2010s. But BTS is still getting high engagement and interest. That's my two cents. Now lemme go lurk some more

I will never understand people who are invested in seeing groups fail

I think most kpop fandoms are about equally obsessed with their faves' achievements. But I voted Armys because I think the huge success BTS has had pushes Armys to keep topping themselves every time.
In a way, I think Blinks and Armys match each other in their need to see their faves succeed-- the competition (esp concerning YT views) spurs them on and also gives them something to gloat about.

I'm 99% sure it will. Koreans really seem to love Joy's voice (taste).
