i feel like non-koreans listen to k-pop more than the actual koreans do hahaha
That is true, some don't even like K Pop to begin with.
Yeah, I heard that ballads are more well liked genre in Korea.
T .23 ballads is the popular music of Korea and not K-Pop, it actually cadres towards toward teens and young adult. Korean society as whole and very generally know if you songs and stuff and my like certain group but it not there To-Go music preference.
eems is here that’s very interesting,thank you for commenting:) I’d love to give them a try, I guess Kpop these days can’t be defined in just the “pop” category, it has definitely changed throughout the years and I think most artists tries to involve different elements/emotions and genres within their music and it shows how versatile they can be, which is great to see!! It’s honestly amazing how music transcend languages, and it has reached out to all over the world:)
It seems that koreans are too busy and too serious... 🤔🤔 how come other continents knew about BTS and yet these guys are ...😨😨
That girl talking about them winning a Grammy and their acceptance speech is actually time traveling and forgot she was a year behind..its okay we'll act surprised!!
She predicts😎😎😎
*_[J]•[E]•[O]•[N]•[G]•[Y]•[E]•[O]•[N]_* omg I see you again 🤩
It's yoongi in disguise
@@coldebleus 😂😂👌
But they didn't win any grammys
The first guy with red jacket who they interviewed is so handsome.
That bald head
I was looking for this comment 👌🏽
Yes I was see him like Jackson 😂
The one with the blk jacket and dimple and his 2 bangs in his face. He has the white ear piece in his ear. He says( yeah, absolutely, he says he doesn't watch Tv)lol. He's Handsome! However, they're all are nice and respectful.;- )
yeah lol
I feel proud that at least RM is getting some recognition for his UN speech. His being the leader and fluent in English is a major factor of what draws in international fans.
Found someone who appreciates him..
BTW facts..
So true he deserves everything
We stan that guy who said it's awkward to be proud of them when he did nothing to help lol. That's a very mature stance!
SolitareLee agree
BTS⟭⟬ ARMY⟬⟭ because he did nothing to them? if you want get the full answers, please watch this video without skip some part
He's very honest.
@i m jimin's jams he was of course proud, it was just that he was awkward not being able to contribute anything to them. sorry my grammar is BAD
@@sasamargareta3623 where is your grammar bad? It looks right to me 🙂
"In Korea, nobody really knew about BTS before but now, their image has changed and people think BTS = Number 1. And now it's a group that no one would dare to mess around."
_-Airpods guy_
AirPods guy xD HAHA
Well said... Airpods guy 😂😂
@RICKY RICH oh no! bts better watch out !
i love that guy, srsly
Airpods guy😂😂 I laughed for 3minutes straight.
They didn't know that BTS isn't just simply 'popular' globally. They are the biggest boyband today.
@@pinkaengelz I mean you could be popular globally but not the most popular or the biggest one sooo
Well not their fault
If they ask now, their recognition got much bigger after Billboard Hot100 #1
Next grammy 😌😌😌
@@leonaayala4540 Some of them said they don't even listen to Kpop so its not their fault
the guy with glasses is so well spoken, he really made everyone feel appreaciated for their work, i loved his answers
"Because I didnt actually help them achieve anything, I cant say I'm proud of them, but I could say they're incredible."
I like the guy with glasses.
100th like xD
Same, impressed with his well thought out answers.
Same
Was actually gonna post abt that guy too!
Id marry him
"I haven't noticed a change because I'm at home all the time."
Some things surpass language and races, because I could relate to that on a spiritual level.
😂
Ohhh✋✋😂😂😂
well is the same for me, i'm from latin america and i'm like you so i support your comment Xd
nothing like being a couch potato right
That could be me
the guy in the red jacket is so handsome.
That guy: "I've never actually listened to their songs"
*Starts to play Fire*
That guy: "bultourune!"
i was looking for this comment lol
YAASSS
I wanna follow his instagram cause i want to see this handsome face everyday😅
I click the video because of him
Koreans are just like any other people in any countries. They are busy with their work, life, and whatever daily agenda they have to deal with. K-pop is just a part of their many sources of entertainment and everyone has different taste in music just like in any other countries.
Also the definition of K-pop abroad and that of Korea is different. In Korea, K-pop represents all pop music from Korea. There are so many different musicians and artists in Korea doing pop music. There are a lot of different Kpop music to choose from in Korea. Kpop fans abroad tend to think Kpop is equal to idol (boyband or gildband) music. You guys just dont know how many different singers, singersongwriters, and musicians exist in Korea. It is like there are 1,000 different types of menues to choose from in Korea but K-pop fans abroad think there is only a few menues exist in Korea.
BTS is very famous in Korea for being famous abroad but they are only a part of this huge & diverse Kpop music industry.
There are so many indie musicians, band musicians, solo artists, and many musicians in Korea, not just idol bands. Korean adults have a lot of options to choose from and normally they dont listen to idol music in general.
Idol (boyband or girlband) music is mostly consumed by teenagers and people in their early to mid 20s in Korea. Korean adults tend to listen to other Korean artists depending on their taste in music. Also there are hundreds of idol bands debuting weekly, so they cant really differentiate who is who.
What I am saying is that there are many singers, singersongwriters, bands, and musicians both in the mainstream and indie scene in Korea besides boybands or girlbands. So obviously, the public attention cant be paid only to one group.
But let's be honest I think there is no one do not know BTS
Yea just like not every American is a fan of Drake
Not every Japanese watches anime
Most are busy with their own life and not everyone has the same taste
😳
People tend to think Kpop is every korean music, but as a korean when we think of kpop, its all the idol songs ! so there are many other songs other than kpop to us!
This explains so many things...
This was fun to watch. I wish someone would do this to me, but I’d probably never stop talking
Correct
Me too, obviously
OMGGG I THOUGHT THE SAME THING AHHAHAH
Same gurl same
Accurate
*"In the end, aren't all hardworking people great people in their own life."*

@@Enlightened08 fair enough i didnt mean to offend anybody i'll delete my comment
That's so funny! I am a 56 year old woman from the US and I love BTS. They are my favorite group now. Their music is catchy, has great meaning, emotional and is very relatable. I don't go a day without listening to their music.
thats the power of marketing and PR
I'm 41, and Literature teacher. Some of their lyrics are poems. I love the cultural influences from different social groups, I love their way to connect the classical art -music, ballet, painting- with the popular -the traditional Korean farmer's, the latin mariachis or the african American first musical expressions-. I love how a happy song can be expressing deep thoughts about social injustice, inner suffering or the way humanity constructs knowledge, hierarchies, boundaries. As artists, they express the feelings of the lyrics with their voices, their faces, their dances, and you can tell how devoted they are to share their message. So no, it's not the power of marketing.
@@rosofficesolutionsinc1572
_thats the power of marketing and PR_
I've been following BTS since 2017, and i heard of them purely by chance. But since i have been following them since 2017, i can 100% assure u they didnt have any budget for PR or Marketing.
We see some pr and marketing now and they've been doing it since.. 2018 when they partnered with columbia records in the US; but before that? they had ZERO PR or marketing. but they already were the biggest group in the world by then.
so how did this happen? this maybe hard for you to grasp, but BTS' global popularity came about organically by sheer word of mouth. ARMY got them here.
They honestly dont need to do any pr or marketing. tbh idk why they even go on goodmorning america or all those radio interviews; but i get the logic. they want more exposure to pple who maybe not familiar with them; but BTS already were already selling out arenas everywhere they toured - usa, south america, asia, europe, etc.
when big record labels in the US got wind of their popularity, they partnered with Bighit and THEN, did we see some pr and marketing - they got on goodmornin america, the tonight show etc -and to their credit they started selling out stadiums. so i guess it did have an impact; but who knows, the 2017 wings tour sold out in minutes.
my guess is BTS would've been just as popular w/o their appearance on goodmorning america
disgusting
@@akolyt what is so disgusting about this comment?
Jimin "Oh tell me" : Man in video: "What lyric comes next?"
Me: *OH YH OH YH, AH YH AH YH*
the guy in the glasses with the red hoodie so eloquent and thoughtful. His answers really got to the heart of things :)
Sophie Alka
I know I really loved his opinions on things and they were very eloquently put
Agree, his answers are thoughtful even tho he's not familiar with Kpop and BTS.
he is very thoughtful and understand the kpop in general and appreciate it, although it's not his interest.
But he is grimly unaware of bts' massive economic impact of 5.5 trillion won a year. On par with the big korean empires. That's a huge achievement for their country. Not to mention the amount of popularity they've brought to korean culture and language. That's why we say bts is not kpop bc they are bigger than kpop. Hallyu is nothing next to the bts effect.
@@hafsa1698 well, it's not really impact him so he could care less, in contrast, he understand part of the popular BTS bring to the country which , again, It's not his interest! Hallyu started with Bi Rain and TVXQ, Wonder Girls(they perf-ed in America) during 2010s, BTS just pushed it further, broaden the term, spread it more to the new generation. Koreans are familiar with things happen in 2010-2012 than now. So he is aware of it, but not much interest to investigate what happen. Hope you understand both views.
The round glasses guy is such a ball of optimism. He never want to place someone on a pedestal but recognized their contributions. His answers were never offensive at all, he had been realistic and respectful ~
Yeah that’s so true and his interpretations are so well!
I really liked his answers
He is very intelligent
Yeeeees! Specially like the personality one
He was really great with his answers.
yessss RM! I love how they mentioned his speech at the UN and the fact that he is fluent in english plus his leadership
RM addressed the UN on three times not just about the Love yourself campaign with Unicef.
The guy with glasses and how he talked about personalities and individuality is so good. Such a mature and open minded opinion.
The guy with glasses is very thoughtful and logical. I like his style. He seems like a very considerate and conscientious person. Props to him
He even mentioned Moon Sun Myung. The biggest cult leader of South Korea that is very global. I know this because I was a former cult member of his group and my family and friends are still members and im not korean. They really are still very active and in global level. I really want my family to get the fuck out of that cult. Thanks to BTS i kinda overcome that hatred and prejudiced against koreans. My entire life! My parents wasted efforts! All the struggles and wrong decision my parents did for that korean cult.. BTS took that hatred away and I know that lots of koreans themselves are saying that Moon is a crazy guy preaching that he is the 2nd coming of Jesus Christ.
Agreed @ Kira
First guy: "I've never listened to their songs":
Presenter: "Ok lemme see if u know the next part of these lyrics"
....
chocolate123098 😂
But he knew fire atleast 😂😂
the one fire is still every variety shows’ anthem. they use it almost every week😂
Because maybe he heard but he dont know the song, famous idol will have popular songs which the cafe or public place play
😂😂😂
The fact that we non Korean speakers are listening to the music should be impressive in it's own right. The guy that said that knowing BTS is not knowing Korea is right, however, it sparks curiosity. For me, it made me want to learn more about Korean culture. I'm a U.S. citizen but my curiosity in the music, sparked an interest in the language and culture and makes me love and respect Korean culture and it's people. I now enjoy the K dramas, the art, the family, and I am currently working on learning the Korean language with the ultimate goal of one day going to visit myself. So while knowing BTS may not be knowing Korea, it is definitely helping for people to want to know Korea.
@@_hyunie_victoria I read your comments on other peoples posts. The person who wrote that comment meant to say that although some people in Korea may not have a huge amount of knowledge of BTS’ story and achievements, they know their name.
By reading your experience, Im happy that many people know about BTS and enjoy them. I know that there is a lot of Korean people who know their name and what they do. But it is not the case for everyone. It depends on how many exposure a person grows up with. For example, the older generations may not know much but they know BTS’ name.
However, ARMY is a diverse fandom of all ages. I speak from experience because, in America, when I went to see the first BTS movie, I saw mothers with their toddlers and middle aged men with their family. My mom who is 33 years old is an ARMY, and my Aunt who is around 50 years old is also an ARMY.
I am an ARMY too and Im really really proud that so many people know BTS’ name and spread their positivity! 💜
@jcb1096 I completely agree! This was my thought process as well. And I look into restaurants nearby and stores and it has helped for local businesses too here in the US. I’m sure.
@@_hyunie_victoria stfo cringe!
Mosg of army learning more abojt korean culture because of bts
The first comment is written by young army teen girl
Well most highschool students and 20's listen rap hiphop rnb ballad and pop music
Idol music is well hmm..
Don't have good recognition in korea
Bts is definitely popular in korea but
because he won the prize from usa and show in the news
The guy that said "people know only of BTS not really south korea" is somehow correct, we got interested in the country after stanning the boys and learning about their culture, that's why we say "BTS paved the way"
Ne
Yeah
No dont agree.many of us army start learn korean.. cooking korean food etc..
I don't think that is true because in my circle I have found many people who want to not just ing their music but learn korean and about their culture too. I know people who are not even koreans and still have korean lifestyle and I try to do some as well without forgetting my background
@🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿 what??
"Their speech at the UN was very impressive ... The man who gave the speech seemed to be very fluent in English. He was very cool. It had alot of meaning as well."
*JOON STANS, WHERE YOU AT?* 😏💜

Like what else could they say about our Joonie lol
Periodt riseee
Right, here!

I really liked what the guy in glasses had to say, he seemed very insightful and like someone you could have a good conversation with
The man with the round glasses is the salt of the earth. He doesn't give out superficial praise.
OMG I loved how the guy with glasses express himself, really good thinking! I wish more ppl had his mind Hahaha
“I don’t really listen to music”
*Has AirPods in his ears*
Candycat did you miss the part where he said he listens to old music?
Podcasts, audio books, etc
Guys it was supposed to be a joke...
guys don't be THAT serious its just a joke
Maybe he wears to ignore the outside
I really enjoyed this. Even though not everyone knows everything about bts they’ve at least heard of them. Kind of like here in the states where Billie Eilish is big but not everyone knows her songs or knows her personality. Also all the main stream artists are known by name but not all are known for their music and art.
Human u it’s little sad though it’s Korean pop stars all Koreans should know some of there songs
@@yougotthebestofmebtssong6074 but I don't think that means anything . Like OP said Billie Eilish makes American music and not everyone here knows her but she's quite popular and many know her name but not her songs.
lilly topaz oh u guys saying Bts is same like Billie Eilish and nothing different ?;/
Human u don’t compare billie with bts, bts is a worldwide famous group Billie is irrelevant in so many countries I don’t even like bts I hate their music but all I know is that they’re worldwide famous like everywhere I go I hear bts and shit
Charles Damn stfu koreaboo
4:33 I was exactly like this girl, wondering why they're so famous, I saw them on a small stage when they came to France back in 2018 but I did not listen. It's at the beginning of the year that I decided to learn more about them after seeing the Carpool Karaoke. And that's when I fell into the rabbit hole. Their lyrics, their passion, their love for art and music, their personalities, love for each other and their fans, their commitment and so much more are why they are who they are today. They are all younger than me but are teaching me so much. They're really like healers, giving comfort to a lot of ppl around the world including me so thank you BTS.
"And now it's a group that no one would dare to mess around with". Bruhhhh i'm totally agree with you😎
The first guy is so attractive but he is clueless 😅 and that was cute

I only clicked on this video because of his face
@@nyss111 i knew it because I do the same 👌
Me also! didn't care about what he's saying could watch him talk ALL day🤣😂..just so handsome 😊💓
Thats what I want to say🤣🤣🤣
Although BTS is Korean, they've had a huge impact on me as a non-Korean. I am Thai but I live in Sweden. Growing up, I never had any interest in Asian culture at all, not even my own. I didn't have more than 3 Asian friends, and none of us were interested in anything that was related to our parents' home countries. At 18, I stumbled upon BTS and instantly fell in love. That led to me exploring Korean culture, which later led to me wanting to explore my own culture more. I went from identifying as an Asian only because of my looks to now identifying as an Asian because of my looks and my heart. I'm very happy that I came to embrace my Asian culture and my Asian roots as a 23-year-old because I would've regretted not doing it sooner. It all began with BTS, and I have to thank them.
Very glad to hear from you that BTS has lead you find an origin of your identity as a Thai and Asian.
Thanks to BTS, my kids (Korean American) are also like you now.
Keep up the best as a Asian there and be yourself like the massage from BTS.
I'm so happy to hear that! I can somewhat relate. :) I'm 24 and I moved from Philippines to Sweden about 2 years ago. I was honestly a bit of a stuck up back then and I had quite much prejudice against kpop, althou I secretly enjoyed a lot of bts songs. They were my guilty pleasure. It was only after I moved away that I realized how much I've been missing in Asian music scene only because I thought the west was "better." In a way I appreciated my Asian roots, like you, through BTS. I found so many mazing things, not just music but films and even variety shows, from Asia that my former self would be too stuck up to even give a try. Kinda ironic that I finally appreciated Asia once I moved away 😅
This is a beautiful sentiment, good for you!
But.... How does bts go from singing about loving yourself to "exploring Korean culture" and the. Exploring Asian culture" how does Asia even come into this... Smh
So happy to hear that you are rediscovering it. Am a new Filipino BTS fan myself. And am telling you, i visited Thailand 3 yrs ago and i fell in love and it's soooo nice. You should be proud 😊
I wish those questions came in my exams
😂😂😂😂
I just love the "BTS is the most well known Korean Artists in the world PERIOD." and they deserve it.
That’s a lie
You got it right! They deserve everything in the world 😌

"...now it's (BTS) a group that no one would dare to mess around with" finally finally someone said this, talk about the past...
@@_hyunie_victoria sorry if i came out strong as 'knowing-it-all' but i was saying about the present people are talking about them such as those things you mentioned, that's why i said "talk about the past", i'm comparing them
@@_hyunie_victoria thank you for explaining this. I felt a little hurt that they don't seem to know which wasn't I expected and I'm not even Korean.
Although, I beg to disagree that if you're older, you'll know less. I know a lot of international armys that are also working adults but surprisingly, they know bts achievements a lot.
@@InTheEyesofEris Thats true
I got interested in Korean culture bc of BTS. I now have watched many kdramas, Korean variety shows, Korean movies and appreciate Korean culture. Even picked up basic Korean words and phrases. I knew nothing about Korea before Bts.
Same here 😊
Missy M same here 😂😂
It's actually sad then lol.
Kdramas and such are also not a good representation of Korean culture.
Some.I was always interested in Japanese culture and stuff, But when I saw BTS that change.
The guy with glasses is really good in answering the questions
"RM is very good at being in charge and taking leadership"
That's literally so true
I actually search the names mentioned by those koreans, and damn they rank bts along with national artist and athletes. Well thank you for this. I think some of koreans are not really focused on kpop groups themselves and i understand that like the way some countries are not really into their artists and musics. Well we do all have different perspectives and taste we just have to respect individualities point of view.
Edit: thank you for the likes :)
Kpop is not something the general public take seriously that's why. Which is why, when bts is lumped with kpop, it downgrades them. Though they were born as a kpop group, they've far outgrown that label. It seems from this video, the gp haven't quiet grasped how mindblowingly huge bts is internationally. Even here in the uk (which is pretty closed off to the far east) most young people know bts or have at least heard of them. I doubt anyone in the west know any of the other people they have mentioned. Heck I wouldn't know them myself if I wasnt a bts fan in the first place.
Tldr: bts put south korea on the map for western world.
Hafsa that's why most Koreans are just bandwagoners they hop on what's cool and popular (Only when it comes to mainstream music.....ex, Korea loves a Boy With Luv by BTS , but they sleep on a ”ON” by BTS...since Korea only like slow generic played out ballads or pop with a Catchy chorus)
That's why BTS was 100x more respected and loved Internationally than their own country that spits on their talents and gave them the shoulder until BST and once they won the Billboard social award. Koreans love to claim artist once it's convenient. Korea really is behind when it comes to following unique and ”underrated” type of artist talent....International fans always end up appreciating talent from idols better than their own country.
@@hafsa1698 i agree the first kpop i heard was way back 2012 and i thought all kpop songs are like that without digging more. Not until i heard BTS songs that change my whole perspective. And as i open up myself more and more to other kpop songs, i believe BTS musics are way in a different level. I hope Koreans themselves see BTS as BTS and not just a mere Kpop group.
@@hafsa1698 bts are still kpop. Kpop is pop music in korean. Bts makes pop music in korean. Kpop is just a genre of music like hip hop and r&b...... etc. As long as they release pop music in korean they will always be a kpop artist
Its mindblowing that they even rank bts with king sejong lol 😂
I have notice that FIRE was literally a BIG HIT in Korea!
(Pun intended)
I think so. To me I NEED U is their first step to fame before BUT FIRE ERA was really the song that put them on THE TOP.. MY FAVE SONG OF BTS TOO

Seeing these people, who arent fans and arent really familiar with them, makes me happy. When they talked about how amazing they are, despite not fully knowing them, makes me really proud as a fan. We get a lot of dirt thrown on our name. Seeing regular everyday people say these things... it is refreshing and I teared up because I was so so happy.
Our hardwork really paid off.
I love how each interviewee was clearly and consciously respectful in their responses. The responses were respectful to nonchosen groups’ or individuals’ talent/contributions. What a beautiful way to communicate! As an American, Westerner, I would have just answered and boasted about my opinion.
As an Army, im not bitter or angry at all even when they didnt know the lyrics..
U cant just assume every Korean knows BTS song just because they're a big name now. Life is more than just music. There's a lot more people dealing with things that are different than us..
But i love that they know about BTS and shows effort for this.
I dont think this was suppose to be a 'serious" video, more of just having fun with people. I dont think anyone is mad at them not knowing lyrics.
@@Enlightened08 u're right. It's not a serious interview, seeing they just randomly ask people around . A rough pictures via quick interview on how korean citizen think of BTS... I just said tht im not mad at them because sometimes, immature fans would bash random person just because they didnt know about their faves..
@@Enlightened08 there are people who were bashing them for not knowing the lyrics to the songs or not have a vast knowledge. Which is honestly immature.
@@gotnochill1924 Oh well then those people are assholes. Its absolutely absurd to think that everyone on the planet listens to BTS, let alone knows lyrics.
@@karakpopsicles Youre right. The younger fans get caught up in silly stuff like that.
I liked the thoughts of the man with glasses he is insightful with having only little knowledge of k-pop
I really like how thoughtful and fair these people were that you interviewed. Thank you!
To be honest, I started to learn more about Korea after knowing BTS...... I AM ACTUALLY NOW LEARNING KOREAN and wish to visit SEOUL , KOREA......... and hope to see bts in person
11:19
Foreigners actually started wanting to learn about the language, culture and even wants to visit Korea. Even though its influence is BTS .
That's right. Am learning basic Korean now.
If i may add, i really dont have any urgent intention to visit South Korea compared to Japan. But when i discovered BTS, i suddenly want to know more about them, know more about South Korea's geography, culture, etc
I feel like non-koreans appreciate BTS more than the actual koreans do:))that’ s a fact😂
so what you mean is we should force someone's taste of music? like if someone doesn't like Kpop/BTS we have to force them to listen to Kpop/BTS? so you think Korean taste of music is bad? is that what you thinking huh??
Exactly I m shocked they don't know the lyrics I mean ask the international people 😂they will tell you without understanding the language
REXXIZEN dude chilll lmaoo
Alex. ???? Lol a lot of locals know about bts. They even know they are a Kpop group. K=Korean pop music. Are you really underestimating their popularity?
Idol music is usually not popular with anybody above the age of 25. Koreans usually prefer ballads and hiphop. Idol music just happen to be the genre that became international.
I loved this! Great questions and answers👍🏼
This interview is an eye-opener for me in terms of BTS popularity in Korea.
I'm 31 years old from India (Manipur) in my state there's BTS fan club, though I'm not a member of it because of my hectic schedule I'm a mother and a Accountant.
I love BTS I'm OT7 love all of them equally, their song's lyrics always make me smile,happy, realise etc...etc...💜
One day when this corona ends I'll go to SK with my daughter to see BTS's concert. Borahae BTS 💜

Glad to find an ARMY from MANIPUR!!!

Hope we meet someday at Imphal!!!
It's good to know about more people from northeast knowing about bts!! I'm from assam!💜
Hi....I'm from Meghalaya...NE BTS forever
The wise man on round glasses. And the guy on black coat reminds me of Goblin. He has beautiful mind as well.
Yeah even if they don't know much about bts they are really respectful and i appreciate their thoughts 👍🏻
Same, it reminded me of goblin I got ya!
We are in America and simply love ❤️ BTS. They are the best since Michael J and Lionel R. That's what I feel There are a lot of great artist out there but this day and age they are extremely talented God Bless all of them so much.❤❤❤☆☆☆☆
Love the different insights presented by the people interviewed.

Soy de Guatemala y estoy viendo su video, ahí se pueden dar cuenta de lo inmenso que es BTS, porque por ellos los estoy viendo a ustedes, desde un país del otro lado del mundo, y lo más increíble es que soy una señora de 50 años que admira inmensamente a estos asombrosos 7 chicos
These were refreshingly eye-opening interviews. Our world is so intricate... BTS blowing up globally, yet some people in Korea don't even know all the members' names. It's nice to be reminded that existence never circles around any single topic. Life goes on.
I love bts. However i clicked for the guy in the thumbnail cause FINE.
Same! I wish he would have dropped his Instagram name, lol
alizanster u guys sounds like bunch of creeps 😂
Kissa Rizvi lol, guilty as charged.
A mood
Same. I wanna know who he is
The gentleman with the glasses is so intelligent...I could listen to him respond to questions about arts, culture of social topics all day! I really appreciated his wise answers.🌼💖👏
That was a very interesting interview... Thanks! [extra credit for the guy with the glasses -he had really wise opinions on the matter!]
I totally enjoy your contents as a new army you are a big help to get to know them more. Thank you.
the cute guy in 13:55 saying "aren't all people hardworking and great?" i loved that, he's awesome // i loved that interview! brought me a different vision from what i've thought til now.
Who's the first guy they interviewed, and how does he like his eggs in the morning?!
Noha 😂
😂😂😂 but his teeth though....
I will ask for the next next week also hahaha😆😅😄
TKay64 he has braces
@@JMK719 Do braces make someone look ugly? No, so I'm not sure what your insinuating. 😒
This quarantine , around June, I discovered Asia’s culture, specially SK’s. I knew stuff before since I’m a geography and history enthusiast but after watching my first k-drama I got interested in learning about SK’s culture and history. Then, I met BTS thanks to the many Dynamite teasers I saw on TikTok. No idea how they showed up in my feed, that day was a first, serendipity.
I’m from Mexico and I knew BTS existed although I’d never listened to them before because I’m always listening to oldies, jazz or classical music. Even my mom knew who BTS were before I told her I was their fan.
I love English culture too and literally when I had the chance of going there, I discovered lots of people didn’t actually like Harry Potter or Jane Austen. It’s a worldwide phenomenon.
The first guy in the beanie and red jacket. HELLO CUTIE
They are so cute 😁 recently few Koreans from Busan came to our college (in Manipur, India) most of the girls know BTS but one of the guy even didn't know their names... I knew more about BTS more than them 😂
Sounds like a really interesting exchange program you guys had!
Kei college ta no
Katherine Singson they don’t have to know bts just because they’re Korean
@@kc8724
Which college they are at
@@hlee6885 DM commerce (but I'm from DM Arts)
the guy with glasses gave really wholesome answers, I like him 💜
I like what the guy in glasses said that everyone is great in their own way. BTS might be popular and great but everyone can be in their own individual way be great as they diligently do whatever they are capable of. Perfectly said.
I really like this video, its fun
And i like how david says “Corona”
😂
The guy in the glasses is for sure my favorite person they interviewed. He didn't really show bias towards BTS or hate on them. He just answered in such a thought out way. His answers are actually very true.
Being an International ARMY I can tell the ans of 'BTS contribution to Korea.'
1.Most of the people are now aware of Korea just because of BTS. I mean they have opened the door for people all over the world to explore about Korea.
Nowadays people learn about Korean culture, Korean food, Korean history and also Korean language. And I think these things are enough for a Korean person to be proud of.
2. People usually starts with BTS but ends in falling love with Korea. This has even helped to raise the Korean Economy.
I think these factors are enough to prove BTS's contribution to Korea.
Edit :
There are several others point that I can mention but I didn't Coz these were enough.
And people coming up in comment section please I want to clear that BTS aren't ONLY ones but they are the Major Part of contribution. Big Bang ..... And all others your are mentioning absolutely did help but certainly there influence was 10/100 and I swear I am not exaggerating by saying that in my Country people don't know KPop or Korean but do know BTS( even if they listen to them or not.) Why to take everything between fans and fandom . Let's just Accept some natural facts sometimes. 🤗
And National / International media is not mad when they say that BTS PAVED THe Way 😄 and even President Of Korea Itself has said that. They are even recipients of
1. Order Of Cultural Merit
2. The Korean Society's Van Fleet : Awarded because of the massive contribution of US- Korea relationship.
honestly I started with bts but now I watch kdramas and I'm learning korean x
💜...
It’s a shame, they always try to drag BTS down, bt they are only making us feel that, omg korean people are like this
Yuhh right?? Me too i feel the same
Didn’t BTS bring $4B to South Korean Economy ??
I like your questions and your interviewees encompassed a universe of thought and opinión very accurate
the sneeze at the end ! Hahahaha ! Thank you for a wonderful documentary :)
This video is just in time before the BTS COMEBACK😌
I laughed when they were trying to continue the song some of them were so confused
Love your interviews!
Koreans have so many groups to hear off and very importantly they will understand korean nd we army's can understand wt our boys are trying apart from language barrier we go deeper in the lines also make up theories at times... Aish i sometimes feel happy I found them from far nd not as Korean... It has really different feel nd enjoyment to enjoy nd stick on only to our boys
To explain this phenomenon as a Korean, today Koreans tend to pursue their own interests only. Before 2010, there was a so-called "national song." So there were a lot of songs the whole nation knew at the time, but after 2010, each person's interests or channel have diversified and so if they're not interested in BTS, they don't know BTS very well. And of course, as the BTS gained global fame, interest in Korea has increased and Korea became famous, but Korea does not scratch a living on BTS alone. It's uncomfortable to say "silliness" just they dont know about BTS
Nah, it's understandable. There are a lot of American artists that are technically successful and popular in their fields, but they aren't as well-known by the general public too because everyone has different interest. Like, the names might be known but the product wouldn't be.
I think it's same for every country's native artists. people know some big names of their native artists but are simple not interested because of different preferences. I'm from the Netherlands and honestly couldn't care less about our artists here
@@em5522 Same, other then Niki since she's an older artist, I've never heard of any of the artists BTS collab with since, just like that one guy, I've stopped listening to music and mostly listen to trance and chill hop lofi off youtube.
I think it's the same thing happen in our own country.. People just have different interests. Just as I interested in Kpop, doesn't mean the whole country loves Kpop. 💜💜💜💜💜
@@adorabletaetae German, but tio
This shows that not all Koreans like/listen to kpop or BTS actually a lot of my friends and me (I am Korean) listen to English songs.
but BTS are better hhh u must be proud of them (not korean) cuz they give a biiig value to kOREA
the language of the songs u listen to doesn't matter, and ofc not the whole nation can have a same taste.
@@user-ij7nc3ix3r i mean, they're on this video. I'm sure they listen to kpop
@@mikrokostan2191 i mean we do appreciate the value that bts brings us but we don t all need to listen to their music and stream like i army does. We all have different taste of music
And honestly think about it when u guys i army first listen to kpop it felt like something new to ur life something u guys never heard before but us we listen to it whether we like it or not everyday, in the store , in the street and even in subway station. Since we are kind of use to that type of song (i m not saying all songs are the same kind) and since there s so many kpop artist in nowadays we find other style of music like western pop music interesting because it s not something we hear every day in our land so we listen. So my point is we all have different taste of song.And many people loves kpop from korea. before u guys even knew it...... it simply because u don t know wa is happening on the other side of the world. When bts began to be world wide trending we were all so surprised and we did appreciate it and we still do.
@@mikrokostan2191 BigBang을 들어야합니다
I will love another segment of this to see if things have changed or not
Is like americans asking about Justin Bieber obviously the man will say the dont listen, but they do, we can notice the smile in the first guy because he knows the lyrics...
Interesting that here in the US we see article after article about the huge impact of BTS on the Korean economy, tourism, entertainment and promoting the Korean language and culture around the world. It just proves that so often we live in our own little bubble.
Huh?
Those articles are correct but a lotta times we fail to appreciate things in our own land and think foreign acts are superior. It’s normal tho, almost everyone wants what they don’t have. However, I think most Koreans still know BTS and know the impact they have on the economy, spreading the culture etc. they’re probably too busy in their own lives and don’t know about their achievements
wait i need you to clarify, so you think those articles are a lie and bts have had no impact whatsoever?
@@toxoplasmagondi I'm am not sure who's comment you are asking? As for me, I'm an ARMY since 2017 so I KNOW the huge impact of BTS. I spend a large portion of my own income on music, merch and traveling to see them in concert. I was just commenting on DKDKTV video. I don't think anyone is lying. The discussion is about the perceptions in Korea vs. the rest of the world. We can't always trust the media because of course they write what will get them views.
Imagine if after asking Koreans these questions, they then show them a video of them asking the same thing of international army nailing everything, even the korean lyrics. I bet their reactions would be fun to watch.😁
Jenna Marie that would actually be pretty funny lol
I liked their honest opinions!!! great. It was interesting hearing all the opinions!!!
I love that the answers that guy (with glasses and the red hoodie) gave were multifaceted, and not just simple answers!
The guy in red bomber jacket looks like Park seoroyi from iatewon class..
Ikr
Not really, maybe the clothes
.....no?
@@ppjskh i think that person meant about the character "park saeroyi" not really park seo joon that's why I agree to it
He look like Gong Yoo, so similar
DUDE the first guy they interviewed and the one with the airpods are so attractive ???? movin to seoul after covid-19 def
Ok
Each of them answered very well but the best answer about them was that what differentiates them from others are their addictive lyrics and amazing performance plus their individuality that stands out .
You guys are good interviewers. And I am struck by how educated and polite the people were. Also I really enjoyed your explanations of the BTS MV's, there are so many references that are not known to Americans, and so much rich meaning in their songs! I really though IDOL was kind of bubble gum before I saw it translated and explained, but it is a very important song.
I wonder if you had sung Spring Day if they would have known that one, since, from my memory i think i’ve seen that it was very popular
Yeap you are right. But they problably don't know it's bts's song. If I just play any title songs of bts they suddenly goes like 'oh i know this song but i never knew this is bts's song.' Most of my friends were shook when they find out fire, run, i need you, boy in luv were bts's songs.
J K yeah their songs probably play in stores and so no one really knows who the artist is, but they know the beat and sometimes the lyrics
J K Ahhh interesting, I understand what you mean.
I think we outsiders sometimes condense Korea's image to K-pop or BTS. That is why we are so infatuated by the country because we imagine it as a land that where people go gaga over the biggest kpop bands and also enjoy a close proximity with them. But infact it is like any other place where people have jobs, life, work and a regular life. K-pop or any other form of entertainment is also a form of entertainment or relaxation for them.
Tue. Koreans are just like any other people in any countries. They are busy with their work, life, and whatever daily agenda they have to deal with. K-pop is just a part of their many sources of entertainment and everyone has different taste just like in any other countries. Also the definition of K-pop abroad and that of Korea is different. In Korea, K-pop represent all pop music from Korea. There are so many diverse musicians and artists in Korea doing pop music. There are a lot of different Kpop music to choose from in Korea. Kpop fans abroad tend to think Kpop is equal to idol (boyband or gildband) music. You guys just dont know how many different singers, singersongwriters, and musicians exist in Korea. It is like there are 100 different types of menues to choose from in Korea but K-pop fans abroad think there is only a few menues exist in Korea. BTS is very famous in Korea for being famous but they are only a part of this huge Kpop music industry
There are so many indie musicians, band musicians, solo artists, and many musicians in Korea, not just idol band. Korean adults have a lot of options to choose from and normally they dont listen to idol music in general.
Idol (boyband or girlband) music is mostly consumed by teenagers and people in their early 20s in Korea..Korean adults tend to listen to other Korean artists depending on their taste in music. Also there are hundreds of idol bands debuting weekly, so they cant really differentiate who is who.
What I am saying is that there are many singers, singersongwriters, bands, and musicians both in mainstream and indie scene in Korea besides boyband or girlband in Korea.
the so called kpop or idol music is a small part of the whole music industry here. Of course we listen to Korean music but it's just that we listen to other groups or solo artists because usually 'kpop' is considered to be for teens here at Korea.
@@eugenecho1055That's 1 big generalization. Most BTS fans I know for example are 30+ year old adults. "Idol" music can be enjoyed by all age groups, good music is good music.
The guy in black with the AirPod in and the guy in the beanie, they can both have me they’re so gorg! 😍😍😍
As an American I was first introduced to #BTS first. Which sent me down a rabbit hole I cannot get out of. I now love most Kpop, Korean food, K dramas and now trying to learn Korean. I absolutely love Koreans. Here in America we support our local Koreans and their businesses. You are a beautiful people. I've now subscribed. Your English is right on!!!!!!
Also saving money to go to Korea!!!
If there would be a singer like BTS in our country, our nation would all know them... They’re so amazing artists, I wish we had singers like them in our country.
Actually they are,but people aren't recognizing..
Soo true !! Are country would know everything about them , they dnt even know their names , nor their achievements as a Korean
So true
Sometimes I envy korean people coz They can speak korean to understand BTS' lyrics while I'm listening and reading their lyric video then thinking and crying at The same time :)
I'm sure your country has some great singers already
I was about to ridicule everyone in this comments section but then I decided not to stoop so low. Bullying children is not okay. Have a nice day!
Some people: clicked as they saw the caption BTS
Me: clicked as I saw a hot guy from thumbnail 🤣🤣
Edits: tho i ends up falling for the guy with earpods lol
Plus david 😅
@@randomperson4526 David, who? Sorry, enlighten me please 😁
Lol
I’m you XD
same tho loll
The cool thing is that Non Koreans are now open to even more Korean Artists.
That is always a good thing.
Though the guy with the glasses was super analytical.
Little do they know that these 7 boys are literally saving lives, only armys understand how this boy band one day changed their whole life, this can’t be expressed by words
