I see the impact of BTS all over. US labels and companies are trying to form kpop trained music groups because they think that is the magic ingredient as to why BTS is so huge and makes so much money. I think this is ridiculous but they are spending money and time to copy BTS. BTS has contributed to amping the pressure on the Grammys to change and be more inclusive. BTS has these western artists chasing kpop clout because they now realize having a huge fandom is more beneficial financially. So many changes in the US music industry because of BTS.

In the future any mention of kpop will have a photo of BTS next to it. Their impact is too large to ignore.

I can’t wait to see the color of their suits. Meanwhile I’ll be thinking about these.

So if your Song is played on tv shows/movies/ baseball stadium or you being mentioned and talked about on other US shows ( without being there) etc is a sign that a Group got mainstream in the US or anywhere.?
Not asking to question what OP said ( I agree) I just wanna know if this is somehow the standard to be considered mainstream in America for future references.
If you are becoming a part of the pop culture lexicon, then yes you are mainstream. BTS being mentioned in movies, TV, radio, online, social media, fast food, fashion, sports, etc. that means the chances of everyone hearing about you are pretty good. The GP will know that BTS stands for a boy group and not the acronym for behind the scenes. That is huge, changing the most popular meaning of an English term. They did that with BTS and ARMY.
Off topic but GP approval is overrated. As a GP, I rarely spent one penny on music/artists that I liked. I listened for free all the time and was never interested in merch or concerts. As a Fan/Stan I spend a lot of money. If I was an artist, I would want to be paid for my work.

This is the kind of songs that the Grammys should be considering, but its not in English. BTS has better lyrics than most of the industry artists in general.

Greats who never won a Grammy:
ABBA
BJORK
The Beach Boys
Bob Marley
Diana Ross
Iggy Pop
Jimi Hendrix
NAS
Notorious BIG
Patty Smith
QUEEN
The Ramones
TUPAC
The Who
Even if BTS never win grammy, they are still in legendary company.
As I was copying this list, I noticed that is is mostly non-american acts or POC. BTS has at least 2 hurdles to overcome to get to that grammy.

Hobie is perfect. I worried about how he said in today’s Run that his parents worry about him being lonely
Typical parents. They want you on the path to marriage and grandbabies as soon as possible. They think once you are over 30, you will be alone forever 🙄. It probably amps up the pressure with his sister getting married. If Namjoon’s younger sister ever gets married before he does, it’s over for him😀.

Most nudity seem gratuitous no matter how "artistic" they try to frame it. No one really wants to see nudity, especially if the person isn't attractive. When I saw Prete a porter, I thought the nude supermodels didn't look as good naked as they normally do in clothes. It was also a bad movie in general.

In my opinion, it is similar to kids music like Baby Shark. You eventually outgrow it because a catchy beat and repetitive lyrics just won't cut it anymore. Sure they will always be fun but as you get older you are more likely to listen to music that are more relatable and evoke a more personal experience. You have less time to waste so you want to enjoy what you make time for. Being able to engage the audiences emotions, intellect, and desires is what makes TV, movies, books, and music popular.

I went with Latex Crop top because this is AKP, where imaginary numbers and Twitter drama is treated as facts. Half the stuff I read on this forum I don’t take seriously.

The entire BTS discography is about being relatable and sincere. Both things that aren’t common in kpop. BTS were never about being woke, they were writing about their experiences and their journey. I personally prefer the more emo journey they had when they were struggling but the brighter happier journey they are experiencing right now connects with more people.
