"Before BTS became a global success, people's understanding of Asian culture was very narrow or narrow-minded, and people who liked Asian culture were seen as people with very peculiar tastes," he said, adding, "I think people around the world have come to understand the things I've been trying to do through BTS as hot. I believe that imitating Asian culture and trying to develop it further in the U.S. and globally is not just a cultural exchange, but a contribution to world peace and human development."

I didn't know skuter promoting world peace...my bad,sir
I didn't know listening my music from my Asian heritage considering peculiar....
Before BTS : yeah, kpop is cool, different from west, I feel unique, they are all look gorgeous, please listen to kpop
After BTS : I don't listen to kpop,please don't side eye me...I swear IU is not kpop, no i don't like boys with make up...
Sure...nothing peculiar at all.
Hybe really seek for west validation and keep belittling Asian fans for the success of their groups......
