I wanted the list to be accurate to now and there wasn't a Gallup poll for individual celebrities for 2020 so I used other statistics I saw. Jimin being first wouldn't be surprising but I wanted to do it based on data.

Yeah I've noticed that Asian fans seem to prefer Taehyung. I think he most fits Asian beauty standards of the three(though I find them all good looking)
-
I was basing it on the fact that Taehyung topped the poll for most searched male idol on google and never for Korea this year I think. I remember seeing some pain articles and Taehyung ranked first for 2020 for all of them among male idols.

I actually thought people would pick Lisa when I made it. I have seen a lot of people say that she has the biggest potential to be a worldwide celebrity which I agree with but most fans only predict for Jungkook to be the IT boy in Korea. I definitely could've worded the post better but I didn't want to sound biased so I just went for simple examples which lead to it being comparison based.
I don't think your intentions were bad, I just think that when it comes to armys and blinks in any thread that invites debate, conflict is unavoidable. I didn't bother to do an evaluation for Lisa's solo potential despite having nothing against her(liking her even) because as an army I knew it would come off as biased and just invite an argument.

So I've seen this being debated for years now and in my opinion the ranking has also changed throughout the years so I wanted to give my opinion on how bts popularity ranks globally as well as in Korea as we kick off 2021. This is based on all the end of year date that came out at the end of 2021. Feel free to disagree respectfully. If you're a Stan just coming to be offended then please don't interact.

1.Jungkook
2. jimin and Taehyung
When I say Asia I mainly mean Japan, China and Korea where I think Taehyung ranks first
Jungkook is first overall based on pretty much every global chart I've seen
Jimin is a solid third but is still leagues away in terms of popularity for anyone that comes after these three. I know a lot of people put Jimin at number 1 in Korea and I do think him and V are close there but I think Taehyung slightly edged him out in popularity there in 2020.
Though it's not the purpose of the thread I'd place Suga in 4th, Jin 5th, J-hope 6th and Rm 7th.

Jungkook has extremely good English pronunciation and has taken the initiative to sing in English quite often in covers and the like.. He's also the biggest Kpop artist globally at the moment and definitely the biggest in the West by every metric without any kind of solo promotion and very little social media use. I don't think Jungkook will pursue a solo career in the West, at least not yet, but if he ever does I think he could be extremely successful with proper label backing. A manager like Scooter Braun(though I hate his guts) would take him far along with armys and his solo stans. Jungkook would have to have an at least basic knowledge of the English language which can be learnt but for the most part the general public won't care how good his English is in conversation as long as it's good on songs which he's shown he's capable of.
You're also right about his image fitting Western taste. The tattoos, piercings, dark clothing and his general looks fall into the category of poc that the west begrudgingly accept as good-looking.
I really wish this thread had been more about discussing solo potential instead of a comparison thread. The most likely answer is obvious barring outside circumstances like a song going viral or a massive western feature ect. It just invited people to tear Lisa down.

explicit or sexual fan art is disgusting imo. It's fine to draw and take inspiration from your faves but when you sexualize them beyond what they've shown on stage or whatever, especially with shipping then it crosses a line. Fanfics of real people aren't great either but idols are less likely to come across fanfics or accidentally read them than they are to view inappropriate pictures.

I see blinks are wilding out today.

Dropped it on chapter 112, Eren was making my blood boil (he still hot tho).

yeah I kinda understand why he decides to do what he does but I can't bring myself to agree with him. I like Eren as a character but I'm not 100% on his actions.

The scene between them really showed how Eren has grown as a protagonist. He recognized that the kids from Paradise didn't really have a choice the same way he feels he doesn't have a choice now. Him killing all those people in Marley was a lot for me but at least he waited until they officially declared war.
Poor Falco, he was so nice in helping Eren out too.

Lol
You're right, I was hoping we could use the spoilers to discuss things that haven't happened in the anime yet
That sounds difficult tho👀

maybe users here will be happy to know but, Korea has a petition for it, its at 199k signatures atm, and is considered by parliament
it aims to ban deepfake in korea
It should be banned everywhere
