Most people have no idea what an "army" even is. They'll think you're talking about the actual military. But once they find out who & what BTS is, or if they already know but have no experience interacting with their fandom, they're already going to have a preconceived notion of what a BTS fan is. And inevitably someone is going to confirm it, because the stigma exists for a reason.

In other words, they won an award that was tailored for them and would otherwise no longer exist due to lack of potential recipients.

They didn't.
Contrary to what all these paid-for award show & talk show appearances may have lead people from other countries to believe, BTS are not actually mainstream in America. Not even close. And they probably never will be, as Americans (minus the target audience of teenage girls) don't take boy bands seriously regardless of their ethnicity. They're seen as an amusing curiosity from a bygone era, not as real artists. Americans are all about legitimacy, not how flashy you can make your song & dance. The chart success? That's their fans bulk buying and acting as Kpop fans do. They're being propped up by a fervent fanbase that punches above their weight, not by the general public. Your average American either hasn't heard of them or thinks of them as "that Chinese boy band the kids talk about."
Blackpink might have a better shot at mainstream success in the US, since they don't carry the baggage of being a boy band, but I doubt they truly break through either.

Are they any different to those other boy bands? How? I certainly wouldn't compare them to any (actual) band. They don't play their own instruments.
I think the sexualization/fetishization angle is being overblown. The media might be more likely to sexualize a girl group, but any boy band's fanbase does it plenty, it comes with the territory of being a boy band as it's a large part of their appeal, and both girl groups & boy bands are sexualized in Korea to begin with (do you read their raunchy social media posts for god's sake?) So Americans aren't exactly unusual in that respect.

lmaoo whats the relevance here? that u only used BP for your loser boner against BTS?
u sit ur lame ass down clown.
Your boys couldn't even win a mere "attendance award." I love your tears, they're so salty.

this is equally as embarrassing as op.. both of u stressing over attendance awards
I'm not even a BP fan. Sit down.

Nice race baiting. Meanwhile your boys are getting beaten by a fellow Kpop group, proving how silly your whole rant was.

So why are you replying on this post and forum?? Go doing something else if you have better thigs to do, but wait! You're still here replying to me... Plus like I said I was just wondering, it doesn't mean that they are together. If you're so delulu to think that you have a chance to dating an idol go and get some help.
Why am I replying? Because I can. You continue to make some rather bizarre assumptions. I think the only delulu here is you.

You could have literally searched on twitter or tiktok it's not that difficult, it's just that this is the first time that a i post an allkpop forum and i don't know how it works, but I tried to posted it anyway
I could have done that. I didn't. Do you know why? Because I have better things to do than go looking for juvenile social media gossip. Two people of the opposite sex being friendly with each other doesn't mean they're romantically involved.

Easiest way to trigger a once lol
Easiest way to attract (more) Blinks. Like moths to the light.

What's your problem? You're being rude and arrogant for no reason, if you have tiktok I'll send the tiktok there cause i don't know how to copy the tiktok video links. But is something that you can do by your self is not that difficult search their names on an app

You're very observant.
I would like to think there's a good reason for including an English song on the album... but there probably isn't, other than extra incentive for English speakers.

It's personally what I what so we can get more solo music, acting gigs, modeling, and variety show jobs without Twice getting overworked.
Twice don't collectively have a future in solo music. You're basically just asking for less Twice and more Nayeon & possibly Jihyo. No bueno. None of them are actresses either, and I don't see that changing any time soon.
If you think their most recent title track is one of their stronger ones, I just don't see the point in harping about the quality of their title tracks.
