yes, BTS has a big fandom and are "trendy" with teenagers. But the general public are not familiar with their music
Outside the Twitter ecochamber and other kpop related forums, BTS isn't known by the gp. Indeed, the kpop genre is seen as music for weirdos or people that are a lot into anime and other East Asian related stuff.
What do they mean by "brand value", though?https://www.allkpop.com/article/2019/07/check-out-individual-boy-group-member-brand-values-for-july-including-jimin-jungkook-baekhyun-in-top-3
Wtf, why is jk and jm always ranked higher than V???
Pretty sure they do some harder rituals than Tae to get on the spot, i mean how is jamal on 1st place? He is not even handsome or cute, not even talking about his lack of vocal.
Now i understand why bigshit always promote jikook, why they always are the leads in all bangtan bomb videos. It's always jikook ft other members.
Why is jamal so popular in korea, he is so average, he doesn't have visual, neither the talent, he must be special to the elite to hold that place. Kook is not really good looking (in my opinion, i hope i don't offend anyone) but at least he have some talent.
But jamal??
you sound like an angry th stan, theres no way that they will do a ritual just for that stupid spot, and lately jm and jk has been much more popular than th and theyre actually not as boring and depressed as him to be honest, and their song from the bt$ game is promoted very highly. jk is the main character of bt$ and jm is the second character, he is very popular among men much more than th and even jk ever did, like it or not, its true, dont be mad that th didnt get the first spot.https://www.allkpop.com/article/2019/07/check-out-individual-boy-group-member-brand-values-for-july-including-jimin-jungkook-baekhyun-in-top-3

when i first see bt$ in the bst mv, i like jn and jk and i actually think th is ugly for some reason, jn is actually attractive and the most masculine looking member next to nj, but most girls like girly looking boys and "flower boys" like the maknae line
Jimin has been the most popular in korea for a while, It could be because of his cute act because koreans like that.
Well, you are probably right about the charisma. That is something that can't really be learned. You either have it or you don't. And I do think he has it. He is also a very talented dancer. So, I think the eye sometimes is naturally drawn to him because his movements are just better. JH is a good dancer, too, but he is the least attractive of the group -- so between the 2 JM looks better dancing even if technically he isn't better. His voice, though, is tough to listen to live. But maybe if they didn't make him sing such high pitches all the time, it wouldn't be that bad. Before puberty hit, he could probably hit the notes a lot easier. Most men don't use falsetto that much because it is hard to do it well. I mean, a long time ago they castrated boys in order to keep them as sopranos ... which means it isn't something that post-pubescent males can do easily. So, I guess he can't be faulted for some of the vocal issues he has. Most of it is probably BH's fault.
Jikook are definitely Big$hits faves and the most promoted. It is becoming too much in fact causing some to complain about the discrimination against other members. They take up most of the content released by Big$hit, behind the scenes probably also the most promoted, so it is no wonder they rank first. Depsite all this wasn’t V first or second just last month? I have no idea what these rankings are based on. I also have a hard time seeing why Jimin is the most popular in the rankings every single time, although I think he is popular, but not exactly the ”it boy” you know. He is pretty and has stage charisma, but still...maybe they like his on screen personality? He does really feed into the shipping stuff with Jk, they constantly keep posting and flirting with eo so perhaps that contributes as well.https://www.allkpop.com/article/2019/07/check-out-individual-boy-group-member-brand-values-for-july-including-jimin-jungkook-baekhyun-in-top-3

They need to stop. Nothing unique about them
jimin was voted the most popular in the Gallup poll tho. I posted the results not long ago (its a national korean service with random netizens)
I deleted my post, because these rankings change all the time. Last time V was number 2 and Jk was 4 and in another poll V was the most popular so forth. What is clear is that the maknae line are more popular than the hyungs. No one in BTS has what it takes to be like G dragon though, who has both talent and outstanding charisma despite mediocre looks. At the end of the day it is about having ”it”.He is the only kpop idol to have a solo world tour in Asia/US/europe. I don’t think any BTS member will have solo success on that level in music, certainly not Jimin. As I said before, they are much better off together.
yeah, I agree BTS has the typical "cheerleader effect", it means they are decent together but alone...its a different story
But, I think who is popular and who isn't is largely a product of who is promoted by the media. In my day, MTV was the king maker in terms of musical artists. If MTV said you were the "it" artist -- people just accepted it and followed. Now it is YT views and twitter followers that push who is the artist of the moment. Of course, the media helps those that are pushing whatever agenda they want at the moment. I don't know much about G dragon -- but looking at images of him, it is clear that you can check off all the occult symbolism in his stuff, just like BTS and others VC talks about on this site. He seems to be part of the "gender bending" crowd and is vocal about LGBQT and that is the issue being heavily promoted right now -- which explains the push of BTS and k-pop in general in the US.
yikes the replies to that tweet are so ugly, Armys are really out of control
And what is this?
is about the video posted here before? the guy and Billboard girl saying there is a BTS over saturation.....I imagine the kind of hate the guy is getting after what he said lol
Gdragon has been in the industry since he was a child (7 years old) he was part of kid shows
I only watched a little part and it was interesting
