/gen bts was never an anticipated group in the first place; they started from the very bottom, and they’ve said this plenty of times, careful not to forget their past. we say they paved the way, not because of what they have accomplished, but because of what they- https://twitter.com/badbrosie/status/1387800241236230148

deliver. they deliver a message that is so powerful, because it’s coming from a group that started with absolutely nothing at all. it means a lot to people , because frankly, some people are in their shoes — many have nothing. and so bts gives them a home.

i think bts really opened the world’s view. i also believe that without bts, no one would even care about kpop as much. i think that bts linked a lot of these groups to connections.. not just because they have talent.

super M on ellen, twice on stephen colbert, blackpink on james corden, blackpink on jimmy fallon.. all after BTS. case closed. and yet the one thing these groups listed haven’t got yet after bts is a grammy nomination. it’s only because of bts that they can atleast dream of it.

love blackpink though! good job girlies no shade in this thread
