  1. Not only music, I'm a huge fan of korean movies and series. They are kings in making romantic and thriller movies and series. Squid game, Parasite, Train to busan, All of us are dead series are some popular examples. And for romantic movies and series i don't think anyone needs explanation of how popular they are.

  4. It is so surreal to come back here years later and to see how many norms BTS have broken. From tattoos, to piercing, to fans supporting idols having personal romantic relationships, to professional live after military for idols, and the breaking of the 7 years curse.

  6. This is a good documentary on BTS, thanks. BTS appeals to ALL ages because they are so talented and their dance choreographer is so good at the visuals of them performing.

  7. Here Aim 4 years after this video was making lol. Iam 60, I love BTS, their music, personalities their good matters, and yes i know they are very handsome and humble . Now all 7 members re enlisted on the military, we can't wait for them, meanwhile they are leave content for us to watch and listening, so it will be BTS forever. When they comeback, they will be stronger than ever !!!!

  9. No one is perfect, everyone try to show there best side. So It's not a big deal if they are having surgeries, After all it doesn't matter as they are operated by their agencies😂😂 Hates off to their masters, atleast they are doing some good work by telling them to be humble and active towards sensitive issues (LGBTQ,BLM)❤

  12. For me I could careless who bts date and I would never stop supporting them because of them dating they not my man or belong to me their personal relationships are their own but not all fans share this sentiment which is messed up and wrong

  14. Proud 62 yo ARMY. Some of the members have been together for 13 years. BTS will celebrate 10 years since their debut in June this year. And yes, they are still together. While two members are already performing their mandatory military service and the others will follow, they have not broken up. The guys are all putting out solo albums under the BTS name. For example “Jimin of BTS.” The three rappers also have great solo albums.

  15. I'm 68 I've been hooked up because they were talented, meaningful song. And most of all I've never seen a performance so alive with the Army's, Very compassionate and down to earth. I love these boys no matter what? 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

  16. BTS used social media because they were blocked from most avenues of promotion by the corrupt kpop industry. and pop was NOT social media focused before bts, in fact most idols aren't allowed a phone let alone social media, since it's seen as a risk. kpop groups didn't make twitter accounts until AFTR BTS won top social artist

  19. Another review of BTS based on superficiality and inaccuracy. Their fan base is not even primarily based on adolescent girls, though I like their older songs better than the all English recent ones. Thinking peoples music is rare in the US.

  24. WITH THE HIATUS THING BTS WANTS TO MAKE THEIR MARKS THAT EACH ONE OF THEM COULD SURVIVE INDIVIDUALLY WHICH IS A GOOD THING. BTS IS GROWING OLDER AND BE PAST THEIR IDOL DAYS AND TO SHOW THAT THERE IS MORE TO THAT TALENTS THAT THEY HAVE. THEY ARE NOT DISBANDING, THEY WILL STILL SING, DANCE AND PERFORM TOGETHER AND AFTER HIATUS THEY HAVE PROVEN THAT THEY ARE NOT JUST PRETTY FACES BUT A LOTS LOTS OF TALENTS.

  25. BTS is so much better than anything in the west, EVER! sorry haters.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜7 They have an amazing message for the world.

  29. First of all BTS is more than a boyband. They are a worldwide band! They are also influential.
    No other group has been invited to speak at the White House or the UN for a cause.
    Plus they all have something to offer that most bands don't. They're here to stay. 10 years later.
    K pop has always been there. Psy was big as well and now he's back.

  30. Difference between them and other groups? Dkdktv was talking about big 3 groups. Their companies restrict them and force them to do things. BTS has a lot more freedom coming from an originally smaller company.

  31. BTS are not just the boy group of our time!!! BTS ARE FENOMENON as to changing lifes for better! Something no one group, artist, relligion or politition has even done so far!
    Be FARE to BTS and pls recognise them for who they really are ! They represent peoples cravings for better world filled with kind and loving people! As RM(their leader said:" We are not just a group of 7 people. BTS is A MOVEMENT…." yes !! A new movement toward better world, starting with loving ourselves and than spreading the love toward all people!
    That is why ARMYs are growing in numbers by hours not by days. We are not just a fandom, we are ONE with BTS "movement". We are purple ocean covering the EARTH! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
