When Sebastián said "They were in the trenches but now are causing country wide money loss". That statement alone proved everything about BTS paved the way.....
Exactly, BTS didn't invent kpop, they didn't start it. They made it mainstream to the international audience. I'm crying so much, my boys...They deserve the world. It's hard to believe because they were so small and there are generations before them, but they surpassed them all by a long shot. I'm so proud. It took an extremely long time, it took a decade, it didn't happen over night. But they made it. They truly did paved the way 🥺
@@mechronine6087 I did, hardly anybody ever credits PSY properly though - they go straight to BTS and ignore what he actually did for the kpop market globally. People will even try to credit groups like 2ne1, Wondergirls, or Girls Generation before giving PSY credit.
@@ikeeneye He was an one hit wonder and never taken seriously which was a shame for Psy and if you listen to what Psy said himself you'd know he didn't pave the way.
@@ikeeneye Psy was "forgotten in the west", with his releases after gangnam style he saw little to no success in the west, people didnt care about him and they often mocked him and kpop. BTS on the other hand paved the way.
imma just need media outlets to stop calling every K boy group ‘the next BTS’. and fans to stop going after the groups mentioned in said articles, it is neither the fans nor the groups fault that a random author woke up and decided to cause havoc😭 the way this happened literally 5 days ago there is and will only ever be one BTS. there is no such thing as ‘next BTS’
True even BTS experienced this around 2019 being called as "THE NEXT BEATLES" but BTS really paved their own way, and opened the door for other Kpop groups. I felt so bad for other groups and fandoms whenever I see articles on Billboard that calling several groups as "The Next BTS" when in fact they can achieve success on their own by also going on the path that BTS paved ofc its not an easy way or a shortcut road. Acceptance is the real key :>
men can not, do not and will NEVER pave the way for anything women do. STOP DISCREDITING WOMEN FOR THEIR SUCCESS. Blackpink paved their own way they are only one to credit for their success
Even though I'd consider myself a Blink, I definitely see the overwhelming evidence pointing to the fact that BTS is the group that paved the way for kpop to mainstream global success. It's weird people argue about this point, because them doing that doesn't diminish their own favourite group's successes. EDIT: I just got the part of the video where someone is arguing in chat that Blackpink is what got them into Kpop. It's funny because even though Blackpink is the only group I've ever paid money for concerts/albums, that means nothing when it comes to the argument about paving the way. Paving the way means BTS' success in practice created an environment that allowed other groups to more easily access a larger market. So any argument about how whichever group you found first being "the one that paved the way" is automatically a moot point. Impact =/= Paved the way, a lot of groups have had impacts on the industry.
You should thank BTS, coz BTS paved the way for kpop, BP just walked in that way, n it's already kpop made name coz of BTS, u found BP immediately 😅😂.. N people think they found BP means they paved the way... They don't understand, why they found BP, ?? Coz they came in the pathetic BTs created..😂😅
@EUREKA I don't see how clapping is something to be praised for. And they're idols on the public eye and on tv. Of course they're gonna clap. That's how idols are taught by the company regardless if they have an issue with the other groups. Not saying they do. But that's the reality of it. Unless it's a standing ovation, clapping is the bare minimum.
The most groups don’t have a problem with that- it’s a fact… many fandoms are the problem here… just because BTS made the whole K-POP industry more popular international doesn’t mean other groups doesn’t work hard .. but many fandoms think so I guess… like I said- all the K-pop groups are working really hard!! BTS did it and many more too :-) But many groups does have it more easily, because they have more back up from industry … but that’s not a problem with the groups- it’s the industry and their system on shows etc..
Yes I’ve seen their half behind flimsy “clap” with their bored faces and? (BP). Most of the time they look zoned out and could care less. Not just them but a lot of groups. What makes me hyped is that BTS shows mad respect and deep appreciation for all the groups no matter how lacking their performance may be. Watch them. BTS will get up out of their chairs, dance, clap and cheer them on. I’m just saying mutual respect for every idol group whether you like them or not and this action may lead to no more fan wars. I have a special respect to the groups that admit BTS paved the way even though I may not care for their music per se.
Before BTS, NO kpop groups DARE to mention BBMAs , GRAMMY, AMA and performing at US talk SHOWS or even debuted in US. Let alone performing at these awards shows. Now almost EVERY fandoms is NOT SHY spamming and begging for their favs to be nominated and performed at THE GRAMMYS, BBMAs, AMA. Not to mention their favs literary name dropping these shows in every Western shows INTERVIEWS as their next target. I am not condemning it. It only proves "BTS PAVED THE WAY". 🤷♀️
Sebastine's whole journey in kpop is a fking proof BTS paved the way! You can't change actual FACTS with your personal opinion 🤷♀️denial is a river in Egypt , so cry about it!
bts definitely paved the way. the amount of reactors i see react to bts first and then randomly start reacting to other groups, that's one of the reasons why bts paved the way.

@@byeeeeeeeeee313 bffr- they come from a big three company (that has a history with media play might I add) and they where a highly anticipated group bc of being called the next 2ne1… yge is literally the home of two of the most iconic groups in K-pop history and the ceo is literally the creator of K-pop- if BP didn’t have all this backing them they would not have the fame that have now nor would they have gotten it so fast.
Best part is that if all groups disbanded BTS would still carry the kpop industry. If any other group disbanded they won’t impact the industry by a bit. On the other hand if BTS did ..kpop would immediately go downhill.

little fact lesson for you.. BEFORE bts had their first success in the US in 2017. BEFORE bts even hit the billboard hot100.. Blackpink was already THE FIRST kpop group EVER to hit the spotify global weekly charts. Hell they even where in the justice league movie BEFORE bts had any US billboard success. NOBODY paved their way.

@@byeeeeeeeeee313 don't bring women card in this... We're talking about kpop groups in general. Secondly BTS have been entering billboard music charts since 2015 (first kpop group) before blackpink even debuted. And in 2017 they blew up/ they had all the attention from the west. A year before blackpink blew up with du du du. Blackpink definitely succeeded on their own with the whole girl crush but no they didn't pave the way. The road was already paved by BTS prior. Kpop already had become mainstream.

"IN THE GARAGE...IN THE TRENCHESSSS" 💀. Ive never seen that picture, but DAMN bighit was poor poor. This is rlly encouraging tho, cause i don't come from a wealthy family and that comes with it's struggles. Seeing what BTS has achieved by working hard and not giving up keepse going. To start from absolutely NOTHING and then be the biggest artist in the world?!? Definitely didn't happen overnight, but if they can do it and achieve their dreams, so can i. So to all the ppl who wanna be crybabies and deny the fact that they paved the way, think what u want to.
This is the exact motivation I have too! If Jin can do it, I can do it, if BTS can do it, I can do it. I’ll do it in my own way, but my dream is going to become a reality, that’s a promise to myself. Good luck to you
Actually, that pic was when they were in Los Angeles during American Hustle Life. Altho Bighit was indeed struggling financially at that point to even get a temporary studio in LA. It's better to note that they do have a decent studio in SK at the time.
@@thatpersonyoudidntknowexis149 Part of "Dark & Wild" was recorded in that garage. There is another vid - maybe part of the commentary to "On" - where is showed that someone offered his own little recording studio to record the album (Reichers or something?) and the rest was made there.

It’d be a waste on resources to pay people to market BTS. If you have the thought that they would even do this, maybe you’re projecting.
BTS PAVED THE WAY It is actually interesting because they started from very little to looking where they are today is more than what 2013 offered. They had to work their way up. Throughout 9 years, almost 10 each time they acted and remain humble and always give gratitude to ARMY. If you look at their first dance practices, it was in the old building Big Hit, small dance room, and now in the Hybe building it has 17 floors and the dance practice room itself is upgraded. When they were small and making their way, before 2017 they did not go on many variety shows and instead created Run BTS. A lot of the economic changes and growth partially came from revenue of BTS music, tours, and merch. When I listen to Kpop music, other artists and their songs, I stream and listen because I like their stuff not because of views. Their song SEA, the lyrics show the hardship(s) they went through in the early years of their career. Suga sings the line “the seven of them sleeping in one bedroom”. Hardships continued later on (2018 LY era) with other things like plager*sm, xenophobia, racism). Great video Sebastine!! 💜
What you fail to understand is BP DO NOT CARE about "kpop".they dont act like a typical kpop group. they did NEVER follow ANY path!BEFORE bts had their first success in the US in 2017. BEFORE bts even hit the billboard hot100.. Blackpink was already THE FIRST kpop group EVER to hit the spotify global weekly charts. Hell they even where in the justice league movie BEFORE bts had any US billboard success. NOBODY paved their way.
At least there's still kpop reactors who can still say the truth. Cuz the ones I've seen all get butthurt over the facts bora says here cuz they don't want to upset their followers, good on you seb for staying true to yourself edit: lol nevermind 🙃🙃
Exactly 💯 most of them even don't react to these videos 😂 But there is another one i think Jim games i saw his reaction on next BTS and his reaction was wht it should be
My friends and family who aren't into kpop, some of them dislike kpop and bts, but even THEY say bts paved the way for kpop. People know how much change bts did in the music industry. A lot of people just can't accept it.

@@BPBAE Yet to come has charted higher than any song released by any group in BB Hot 100 at #13 in the US this year, #1 in BB Hot 100 in Japan. Proof album still charting today in Billboard since June while the other new releases from the other groups have fallen already fallen off months ago.
Bro the amount of talent in kpop is insane. If labels put their pride down and actually focus on the music, think of how different the industry would look. The idols themselves get along, but because of the labels and ppl in power,journalists,etc they can't reach their full potential. They'd be stronger together 😭 but noooo it's every man for himself. -sigh-
This is why I love Big hit producers and choreographers. Bts of course. You can tell they put all their heart and soul into their music and performances.
I salute Boracity Magazine for her video, risky but it is the truth. I remember when I was in highschool (2015) all of kpop fans in our class are Exo-ls, Sones, VIP and im the only one who knows BTS they told me before "Who are they? They're not even famous. You're stanning a poor and flop group etc." But when 2016 came and BTS won their first ever daesang in MMA and Artist of the Year (daesang in MAMA) my classmates became ARMY (update they are still ARMY to this day that now we are college students). BTS proved to me that a group from a small company could make it too, little did I know that will be the start of their stardom and they will be the biggest boygroup in the world. I may stan other groups now aside from BTS but I will never regret the happiness of being an ARMY, those times that I defended them from haters on socmed, all of those happy moments whenever they won in award shows, and the huge amount of help that BTS gave me through music when I suffered in PTSD and Depression (they are one of the reasons why I survived my challenging youth) They deserve all of the awards and recognition they received, despite being called as "Superstars" now they remain humble, their passion for music never change, and their love for ARMYS didn't fade. This year will be their 10th Anniversary and I would say that BTS is not yet done they will achieve more and more And for those haters that said BTS will finally in their downfall when they go to Military service huh jokes on you guys :>
Way back in 2017, me and my friends tried to like kpop as a whole. I remembered how EXO was big here but i definitely heard about BTS. And after i watched their old MVs, i liked them instantly. So i tried other groups too mostly boygroups and BP. I never thought i would stan BTS only because i was supposed to like kpop music as a whole and i don't feel the connections to them like what i did with BTS. They just felt real and i felt comfortable with them. Now, i can't believe it's been over 5 years now and i still keep loving them more and more. I honestly don't understand how some people lose their love for them (or found another groups) because for me it's getting deeper each time 😂 Anyways, BTS PAVED tHE WAY..
I love you for saying this 😉.. I felt the same too ,before BTS i tried to listen other groups but the connection like i have with BTS is real. They are REAL , not bullshitting to be in Fame ..
@@sabbybarquio1789 same I practically wasted entire 2021 forcing myself into becoming a kpop stan. I would stay updated about every group listen to all their song but as the year approached its end i realised it wasn't for me and I only liked BTS. They have made a great impact on me, it's surreal that I feel a connection to a boyband also I never really related to other fandom because they were everready to throw hate on armys (me).
Oh my... I just came across your comment and I feel the same! I tried really hard to listen to other groups. I can appreciate it, I like some but I don't feel the connection I feel for BTS. I can only listen to other groups a few times, but I can listen to BTS all day.. BTS actually ruined music for me 😂 I cannot listen to any other music other than theirs now, because they have all the genres for my every mood! Borahae 💜
i just need other fandoms and companies (not necessarily the artists because I'm sure 95% of them are being controlled by their company) to stop taking offense or to stop seeing "bts paved the way" as an insult. because it isn't. its a fact. it does not mean everyone before or after them are talentless or have no achievements.
Ahaha I laughed so hard with the “confidence is everything” remark 😂😂😂 I mean, confidence is great, but BTS’ humility is for me, one of the main reasons they are so loved! They would never ever say what Jennie said… NEVER! They would never say… “we did that, we did this…” Thay have always attributed their success to ARMY, and so so so thankful all the time… and they rarely credit themselves… its nice to the heart to follow humble artists! thanks for the Vid Seb!
Don't mind them dey knew the truth but refused to accept cause they are blind to see BTS is the one who paved the way for kpop and that's on period 💯🥰 let BTS forever and God bless everyone who accepted and love my 7angels AMEN 🙏💯🤗 💜 Jungkook 💜 Jhope 💜Jin💜jimin💜V💜Rm💜Suga💜sarayhnae
i heard an ivy league college business professor say that if you have anything to do with business or if you want to work in the field, you can't not know who bts is because then you're not doing your job right or your homework. and this was business in general, not just music industry business
See ive been saying Bts is bigger than just music universities/colleges we be talking about them because this is globally on ever level especially economic wise based off how Korea is loosing billions/trillions of dollars because of BTS even with the big 3 and other Kpop artist combined they aren't shutting down revenue.
I was watching some videos on IG and a lot of people got stuck saying that BTS didn't pave the way for the industry not only in Korean music but in all Asian music too, I'm really I get really mad when people don't accept the crap, just the fact that it's right there, but as the saying goes "everyone sees what they want to see, it's easier to judge than believe"
Funny how some groups fandoms are delusional when their favs literally said bts paved their way for them. Seriously, listen to your favs and accept it already. BTW, Seb ate 😊
This is why I only listen to BTS out of all the Kpop out there. The passion and skill levels are worlds apart. There is no "next BTS" and never will be. If they decide to end (god forbid), no one can touch their legacy.
44:39 and after talking to the UN, a gg went to the UN and talked too. Do you wanna know why? "BTS visited the U.N. to help UNICEF promote Generation Unlimited, a campaign dedicated to educating young people and providing them vocational training." . do you wanna know why the other group went there? . They were going "to speak on sustainable development and the metaverse at the UN" in order to advance their own group's METAVERSE promotion.
The narrator speak FACTS. She appreciate all the Kpop groups before BTS for introducing KPOP but those all Kpop groups never paved for other artists like BTS did. Because the Big 3 (SM, YG, JYP) companies never let others artists to shine and love to sabotage other artists especially artists from small companies. They are also why BTS take longer time to get popular. BTS has made the path become more easier for others to enter. And now the Big 3 is busy trying to create the 'next BTS' and throwing away their artist natural talent instead of let their artist to create music in their own way or style. All Kpop artists is unique and I don't want them to be 'next someone'. Diversity of music and style in Kpop industry is what made me fall in love in Kpop.
Just recently bp were invited in some royal banquet hosted by king charles himself... what’s ironic is that despite them being there sitting with the royals in a long table, still bts are the ones constantly mentioning and given recognition by everyone for their unprecedented influence worldwide and not bp... all these girls have to do is to held their heads down while listening to what the speakers are saying... duh😏😏😏
One of the things people don't realise are that bts were part of the og youtubers era. Like they were here from 2011... The TH-cam newbie growth era. And I think its one of the coolest things ever. And they still are youtube based. Each members are having their own TH-cam shows now. It's kind of legendary. I think we should talk about this angle more... BTS og youtubers.
3:11 and 3:40 Yup this is basically why BTS paved the way regardless of who is the most popular Kpop artist in the future. BTS were the first K-Pop group to release Top1 hits, become mainstrean, and stay in that position to this day it is a fact, objective not subjective. They caused a lot of people to check out other groups from the industry making it smoother for those groups to have more fans instead of them having to rely on solely just K-Pop fans from mid-3rd gen and past generations.(Which obviously had a smaller audience than it did before 2017 and forward. Not saying the fandoms were little just saying that they were less compared to right now.)
Because BTS PAVE THE WAY now ALL of Kpop groups will have an opportunity to: -Speak at UNGA (3x) -Will recieve HWAGWAN ORDER OF CULTURAL MERIT -Will recieve a VAN FLEET AWARD - be a PRESIDENTIAL ENVOY - perform at FIFA - be nominated at GRAMMYS, BBMA, AMA - Will have 4 nights STADIUM tours with extension to an adjacent Arena. - will be Ambassador and have FREE concert to help the Government. -be invited to the WHITE HOUSE. -contribute to the GDP of the country. -and will have 800+ awards -and the list goes on.
Still...tone down the superiority complex. Pretty sure there were other groups who were nominated in music awards shows in the US before BTS. And other groups don't need BTS to win lots of awards to make it possible for the other groups to win lots of awards...
Also perform at time square on new year eve as a group and individually perform at lollapalooza invited to white House against anti asian hate crimes Partnership with unga for love yourself campaign...and so on

Im just stating the FACTS. those listed above are BTS' record of achievements. you can look up to it in the internet, if you're doubtful 🤷. ohhh You know what Superiority complex means?? It's a defense mechanism to cope with feeling inferior. ps: I wrote those achievements as a form of motivation for other Kpop groups and a challenge to specially to all Kpop fans to work even harder for your artists.
I never understood why saying “bts paved the way” triggers so many kpop stans. Majority of the groups y’all stand ADMIT bts paved the way 😭. It doesn’t mean bts built them up and made them successful. The hate kpop stans have for bts is insane. it’s almost like they blame bts for the lack of success their favs have in the west.
Kpop groups do have more success in the west. They just don't have BTS success. A lot of non Kpop fans would not know, like & stream a lot of these groups, if not for BTS paving the way.
And the fact that many leftover armys keeps saying that .. they lose interest on bts the moment they start getting recognized in the west and globally.... And look at those other fandoms now.. trying so hard to chart on bb to get the same achievements 😭
Thank you for being realistic and giving honest feedback. I really like how you don't care about their looks only. You know the meaning of their music, what it means to us. Thabk you.

The fact that everyone is trying to find "the next BTS" -- as opposed to "the next [insert any other kpop group] -- tells you what the standard is and who the world has recognized as the ones kicking open the kpop door.
i don’t understand why people wouldn’t understand this, im not even army but i know that bts paved the way. one thing tho, ive seen so many armys writing “bts paved the way” on other groups achievements when no one ever mentioned bts, yes they might have paved the way but saying that seems like this groups success is ONLY because of bts
True, some toxic armys tend to go in others yt channels and say that, on that part, they are wrong and I, as an ARMY, accept it. But when it is a BTS related video where their achievements are showing and armys are saying 'BTS paved the way', some other fans just hates on them and discredits BTS's efforts and say 'BTS did nothing, other groups did that '. That's what annoys us.
@@delicate55689 yeah i agree other fandoms shouldn’t do that, they’re just jealous. aah it’s so nice to see a normal army once in a while who talks to me normally, cause usually armys just randomly start bullying me for dumb reasons

On twitter, you can see a lot of trolls changing username to look like army, blinks, stays, etc Some even get called out and have receipts like 'i don't even know who loona is, etc. But they kept in saying shit like if you stan loona then you dog wouldn't die'
Wait... I didn't know kpop acts started twitter in 2017 only after BTS won social artist award OH MY GOD !!! BTS were on twitter even before their debuted. They interacted with armys and always made sure their fans are good and even supported us and this is ways back in 2011 and 2012 OH MY GOD NOW YOU CAN SEE WHO IS GENUINELY HONESTLY THERE FOR MUSIC AND FANS AND WHO IS THERE FOR PRIZES...
If you ask the average person about K-Pop, most of the time, BTS is the first thing they mention. Just because this fan of K-pop learned about k-pop from another group doesn't mean that group paved the way. I knew about kpop long before the Gangnam Style boom, but I wasn't interested in bands and Korean artists, culture, dramas, etc. it only happened after I became interested in BTS. I found out about them thanks to the army's vlog from their concert in LA. Just read -> Blue House spokesman Kim Yoo Kyum stated, “It has been decided that the Hwagwan Order of Cultural Merit will be awarded to the seven members of BTS who further promote the spread of hallyu (Korean wave) and have influenced the development of k-pop culture and art ". BTS are the only group to receive this award! Not Stray Kids or BP, Got7, Exo, Psy… none of them. BTS is a group that has shaken the Korean economy, thanks to them other groups can get a deferment from the army for 2 years, this is a group that they wanted to exempt from compulsory military service. What if not this is the bottom line that bts actually paved the way¿! Everything that was said in the video, all these facts ... they are the ones that prove that BTS has taken k pop to another level in the world. It was they who paved the way!
I hate to come back and reading some of the comments and how Boracity explained what "Paving the way" means people STILL acting obtuse its sad but laughable, NOBODY is putting down other groups, I've come to the conclusion people just want to be mad about something and instead of being logical are Wayyyy to emotional about FACTS all of what Boracity talked about can be Googled, Kpop was not that popular till BTS came here ( America) is not that hard we the American fans didn't know anything about Kpop are how huge it was in Korea till Bts now its on scale that even some of ya'lls favs can be known and get new fans you would think that would be satisfying but once again some of you are stuck on PAVING the WAY and think that is taking away from the hardwork of other kpop groups. BTS paved the way whether you like or not. How is one group and one company can cause a major economic shift and the big 3 and with many groups aren't? That within itself is telling.

sometimes fans (not BTS') think that when their faves achieve one of BTS achievements they were the greatest, but they just scratch BTS LONG LIST of achievements.
It’s the whole story from start to now. Where they came from, who they are, the struggles they had. I am over 40 and have no interest in K-pop. Such a toxic industry. BTS has left that behind. They are much bigger than that now. They write, produce, sing, rap, they do it all sharing a great message along the way. They are a world wide boy band, the other K-pop groups have not reached that yet. There will never be another BTS, accept it. This started with my daughter but i finally realized how important they were to her and have nothing but respect for them.
I’m 34 and when my younger sister said in 2016: oh I love BTS and middle one: oh I love EXO, I was like: ok it’s some childish stuff for school girls... My shock in 2022 when I saw their albums after 2019 😳 just nobody can even imagine this. And now I’m here and even loving the early BTS school songs 😂
no other groups paved the way. ONLY BTS. ☺️ other groups may be famous way before bts but they didn't make it easier for everyone. and other groups may be the starting point of locals in kpop but that is not paving the way. BTS PAVED THE WAY AND IS STILL CARRYING THE MUSIC INDUSTRY IN THEIR BACKS. KPOP ENTERTAINMENTS, KPOP ARTISTS AND KPOP STANS SHOULD BE THANKFUL.

33:40 Boracity literally had to explain what "paving the way" means. She put the definition on the screen and spelled out what the phrase means.... That was literally the FIRST thing she did, YET here you guys are making the same mistake again! When the road has already been paved, how did the others "also pave the way"? As already mentioned, the road had already been paved for these groups (by BTS).... NO, they didn't "also pave the way", there's no "list of people who paved the way", and there's definitely no truth in "BTS paved the way along with xyz..." The only truth is "BTS PAVED THE WAY!" (on their own. They didn't have support from anybody be it KPOP or media or other groups or whatever, they did it on their own) Period! Also, if by this you're meaning to say that these groups are also very big then yes they are. These 3 groups have been the biggest KPOP groups for a while BUT no one is at BTS level. They're not even as big as the 2018 BTS yet.... and Not Even all 3 combined are anywhere near BTS. In fact, if you combine the 8 biggest KPOP acts(or even 10) etc, BTS is still bigger! (be it sales, streams, records, charts, awards, firsts, concert tours, etc) BTS are bigger than the big 3 combined right now(and have been since years ago). BTS has been competing with huge mainstream artists AND beating them(AMAs, BBMAs, IFPI, etc)! It's just the media play making these other groups look bigger than they are, making it look like these groups are a "competition" to BTS. And this media play and then these fandoms' delusions is exactly what makes ARMY mad. No, I'm not trying to shame or insult any of these other groups or whatever (they have their own achievements that are impressive in their own rights)... I think skz are good (They're doing well and making good music). Even though JYP and the media's "Skz is the next BTS" does piss me off, I still think they're putting in the effort and are a worthy group( and are also respectful of BTS) (I don't like Exo or bp cuz I don't like their music and they are so shady... esp bp, buying awards and constantly doing media play to steal BTS's Earned achievements etc etc). And of course, they are very popular and successful as well. BUT saying they or these other groups also paved the way is nothing but a LIE! These acts didn't open any new doors, they didn't carve or polish a path, they didn't have to face the struggles BTS did, they have/had the support and the big3 privilege from the start (and of course, BTS made it easier for them). So please stop these lies. The only thing it does is set these groups up (and also downplay their own achievements). You don't have to put them against BTS for them to be impressive, I think they can be impressive on their own... if you let them (and if you're putting them against BTS to make them sound impressive, it just means you're insecure and don't think they are good enough by themselves... which is sad fyi)... Again though, that won't mean "they also paved the way" because paving the way doesn't mean one group is better or whatever, it just means this person or group made it easier for others to walk a road that had been very very difficult to walk through.
there’s nothing wrong with thinking bts paved the way, just remember the senior groups who paved the way for bts. because without them, there wouldn’t be a kpop.
@@victoriab98 missing the point again. nobody is saying bts created kpop, but they paved the way for these groups on a global scale. as mentioned in the video, paving the way does not equal creating something.
@@victoriab98 Boracity literally explains howother groups didn't pave the way for BTS and how they had to pave their OWN way. That if there's anyone to credit for being part of BTS' success is black music like R&B and hip-hop, which BTS always credit for. If you want to go the "thanks. tothem...." game, thank then J-pop, since it was thanks to Japanese pop music that k-pop exists as an industry.
After bts's UN appearance SM pushed aespa to speak at UN about environmental sustainability and what they said was so embarrassing and ironic coz they were trying to promote their AI concept by saying if we don't have better real world we can never think about having a good virtual world 🙄 knowing that creating these AI models and stuff are one of the factor contributing to environmental problems.. Like the vidoe said, they just want to replicate what bts have achieved instead of taking this as an opportunity to spread their art and music in global market, they just want what bts have to be known as better than bts but if they actually focus on their music and their own artistic identity using this opportunity they might be able to be better than bts one day but they want instant fame and name
as an army , bts definitely paved the way but im confused on where did Jennie say Blackpink paved the way , she literally did not say that , and bts is literally the only group u can mention before black pink , love stray kids but to say they paved the way for something And black pink didn’t is CRAZY , bts is the only group you should mention before blackpink
@@vvvvvlogs6469 but in what world would u mention any other K-pop group second to bts besides blackpink , he said numerous other groups that are not half as popular or successful than blackpink as groups who paved the way , if they paved the way did so did blackpink wtf let’s be serious , whether she said they paved the way or not why would ever mention any other groups before them , it’s BTS then BLACKPINK the 2 biggest kpop groups anybody else is irrelevant in a conversation about "paving the way"
Saying BTS paving the way does not take the other group's credit at all. They deserves every praise they get, but it's just not deniable BTS made the platform bigger for groups than it is before their time.
I whole-heartedly agree with this entire video and I also agree with what you said Seb about other groups paving the way in k-pop too, I'm a massive fan of Stray Kids, Mamamoo and SVT but without BTS making it into the global music industry k-pop probably wouldn't be known as much around the world, this is just my take on it feel free to correct me or give me more info! BTS paved the way!! 💜💜
I was waiting for your reaction to this video! 💜 The way this brought out so many emotions out of you is so relatable lmao When we say BTS paved the way, k-pop fans think that we are saying that to undermine their favorite groups or solo artists success and basically saying that "BTS made their careers" but that's not true it all. BTS paved the way means that BTS opened ways and more opportunities for k-pop acts to grow and be known in the global industry. I've been into k-pop for years, I've been an army since 2016 but I know k-pop way before and let me tell you that after BTS got that award at the BBMAs in 2017 and started to get more and more global recognition, a LOT of things changed in k-pop. Maybe it's harder for new k-pop fans to recognize the "BTS paved the way" because they know the current k-pop and since the beginning have watched a lot of K-pop idols in the charts and promoting in USA and other countries, but that was not common it all. I think it's ok if Kpoppies don't want to mention BTS because they don't have to, but what it is wrong is they and other labels and their groups discredit BTS' hard work and being in denial. I respect all the idols that have admitted that fact, say thank you to Bangtan for what they did and keep going with their careers. BTS paved the way are facts, not something that Army just invented. the "x paved their own way" it's just sad because we all know the truth...
This is the third time I’ve watched this video, Seb, I appreciate your comments in defense of BTS, because it’s all true. No reason to work yourself up arguing with these haters because stupid is as stupid does. Not worth it.
When others say 'they paved by their own way' how's it's work when literally the entire company is behind them with power and strategics...and if you talk about hardwork..that each and every group do.. from small company to big company..from debut rookies to legend's.. everyone
The most delusional people who dont accept this are the other FANDOMS who always claim thwir faves are the best of paving their own ways. Like... Lol? 😭🤣
This video is absolutely perfect and your reaction is even better, thanxs for your hard work Seb 💜 And no matter what b*tches say BTS PAVED THE FUCKING WAY ✊🏻💜

I was never part of a fandom until 3 years ago ( I am an Atiny!) just enjoyed music since 15 years K-POP , Like SUJU, SHINee, EXO and many more and of course I like BTS too… and I need to agree with many army’s here. It’s a fact BTS made the hole KPOP music more popular international.. I am glad, because I came to know ATEEZ too! I just would like the fandoms to be friendly with each other- all groups are hardworking talented guys! Sebastine is the best example: he is a true army but he appreciates the music of other talented groups too ❤️ Wish you all a happy new year! Lots of good opportunities to see/ hear our favorites and stay happy and healthy everyone ❤️
As much of an ignorance this is on kpop society an example of this is shown like when kpop groups are in the US, on multiple occasion alot of interviewers and passerby call these kpop group "BTS" even when they are not . This is to show that if anything kpop related comes to anyone mind who is not well aware of it will think BTS and only BTS, as much of this ignorance is hurtful to see
this will forever be the most pointless debate because it's literally just a phrase that many people understand differently, and even if it was something objective, what are we supposed to do with this information? I feel like the only reson people even argue about it is because of the way it's used. Like why do you have to spam it in other artist's achievements? it's like you can't stand other people celebrating other things than your favs, so childish
YG their agency themselves have said in one of their articles that bts paved the way 'Indeed, BTS's increasing global presence in developed markets over the past several years has paved the way for partnerships between other K-pop artists and US labels (Universal Music Group for BLACKPINK)
Wow I'm so amazed at how fired up you are. ARMY is right there with you. I however doubt the Super Bowl won't be able to afford them. But I'd like to see that for sure 💜💜💜🤟
Gangnam Style is a great song but one of the great things about it is that it's hilarious, purposely. I think that heavily contributed to it becoming a meme.
Not just in west BTS paved in whole world for kpop m from india nd before BTS no one or very few people know about kpop but now BTS almost become household name people hate or love but everyone know BTS nd same goes for South Asian countries people got intrested in Korea k-pop just bcz of BTS in India there is huge fan following of BTS nd know kpop becomes common bcz BTS really paved the way not in west but in world too infact in my country BTS is equivalent to whole k-pop, k-pop means BTS to them nd those who always says there groups paved their own way and all do they forget how much hate BTS get when they were almost new to West and world when their culture is unknown people hate them bcz wearing makeup nd talking shit about them but now when BTS becomes mainstream nd many people people becomes familiar to kpop culture thanks to BTS other groups don't have to face those things bcz BTS already did that It's fact that no one change BTS paved the way in world for kpop nd i respect all groups who are working hard to achieve that level of succes with their own way nd BTS paved their own way nd others too they didn't have enough money when they debut to do media plays and they still don't do it when they have money bcs their talent nd army's love is enough 💜🙏
When Sebastián said "They were in the trenches but now are causing country wide money loss". That statement alone proved everything about BTS paved the way.....
Exactly, BTS didn't invent kpop, they didn't start it. They made it mainstream to the international audience. I'm crying so much, my boys...They deserve the world. It's hard to believe because they were so small and there are generations before them, but they surpassed them all by a long shot. I'm so proud. It took an extremely long time, it took a decade, it didn't happen over night. But they made it. They truly did paved the way 🥺
I thought PSY did that lol.
@@ikeeneye did you even watch the video lol?
@@mechronine6087 I did, hardly anybody ever credits PSY properly though - they go straight to BTS and ignore what he actually did for the kpop market globally.
People will even try to credit groups like 2ne1, Wondergirls, or Girls Generation before giving PSY credit.
@@ikeeneye He was an one hit wonder and never taken seriously which was a shame for Psy and if you listen to what Psy said himself you'd know he didn't pave the way.
@@ikeeneye Psy was "forgotten in the west", with his releases after gangnam style he saw little to no success in the west, people didnt care about him and they often mocked him and kpop. BTS on the other hand paved the way.
imma just need media outlets to stop calling every K boy group ‘the next BTS’. and fans to stop going after the groups mentioned in said articles, it is neither the fans nor the groups fault that a random author woke up and decided to cause havoc😭 the way this happened literally 5 days ago
there is and will only ever be one BTS. there is no such thing as ‘next BTS’
True even BTS experienced this around 2019 being called as "THE NEXT BEATLES" but BTS really paved their own way, and opened the door for other Kpop groups. I felt so bad for other groups and fandoms whenever I see articles on Billboard that calling several groups as "The Next BTS" when in fact they can achieve success on their own by also going on the path that BTS paved ofc its not an easy way or a shortcut road. Acceptance is the real key :>
agree like we dont need to go after other groups and people just need to respect each other on both sides
It's the big 3 labels doing that! And buying media play is how they get their groups to work. Otherwise, they would have been unknown.
Only a few days after and they are already calling Newjeans the "next BTS"...WE ARE TIRED 😭😭😭
@@kuntalasen i completely get you😭 we had an article a few days ago calling Stray Kids the next BTS and the Kids got dragged so bad😭😭😭

men can not, do not and will NEVER pave the way for anything women do. STOP DISCREDITING WOMEN FOR THEIR SUCCESS. Blackpink paved their own way they are only one to credit for their success
Even though I'd consider myself a Blink, I definitely see the overwhelming evidence pointing to the fact that BTS is the group that paved the way for kpop to mainstream global success. It's weird people argue about this point, because them doing that doesn't diminish their own favourite group's successes.
EDIT: I just got the part of the video where someone is arguing in chat that Blackpink is what got them into Kpop. It's funny because even though Blackpink is the only group I've ever paid money for concerts/albums, that means nothing when it comes to the argument about paving the way. Paving the way means BTS' success in practice created an environment that allowed other groups to more easily access a larger market. So any argument about how whichever group you found first being "the one that paved the way" is automatically a moot point. Impact =/= Paved the way, a lot of groups have had impacts on the industry.
You should thank BTS, coz BTS paved the way for kpop, BP just walked in that way, n it's already kpop made name coz of BTS, u found BP immediately 😅😂..
N people think they found BP means they paved the way... They don't understand, why they found BP, ?? Coz they came in the pathetic BTs created..😂😅
it is an actual fact that bts paved the way, kpop was never mainstream in the western market until bts blew up and opened the door for other people.
exactly
Hell yeah 💯
YESS!
I agree, I discover Kpop because of BTS, but became a Kpop fan due to Seventeen.
men can not, do not and will NEVER pave the way for anything women do. STOP DISCREDITING WOMEN FOR THEIR SUCCESS
Im just thankful to the groups who always acknowledge that bts paved the way...
Huge respect to those groups
@EUREKA idk.. i really don't focus in the audience im sorry
@EUREKA maybe BP did claps bc they was on TV?
@EUREKA I don't see how clapping is something to be praised for. And they're idols on the public eye and on tv. Of course they're gonna clap. That's how idols are taught by the company regardless if they have an issue with the other groups. Not saying they do. But that's the reality of it. Unless it's a standing ovation, clapping is the bare minimum.
The most groups don’t have a problem with that- it’s a fact… many fandoms are the problem here… just because BTS made the whole K-POP industry more popular international doesn’t mean other groups doesn’t work hard .. but many fandoms think so I guess… like I said- all the K-pop groups are working really hard!! BTS did it and many more too :-)
But many groups does have it more easily, because they have more back up from industry … but that’s not a problem with the groups- it’s the industry and their system on shows etc..
Yes I’ve seen their half behind flimsy “clap” with their bored faces and? (BP). Most of the time they look zoned out and could care less. Not just them but a lot of groups. What makes me hyped is that BTS shows mad respect and deep appreciation for all the groups no matter how lacking their performance may be. Watch them. BTS will get up out of their chairs, dance, clap and cheer them on. I’m just saying mutual respect for every idol group whether you like them or not and this action may lead to no more fan wars. I have a special respect to the groups that admit BTS paved the way even though I may not care for their music per se.
Before BTS, NO kpop groups DARE to mention BBMAs , GRAMMY, AMA and performing at US talk SHOWS or even debuted in US. Let alone performing at these awards shows. Now almost EVERY fandoms is NOT SHY spamming and begging for their favs to be nominated and performed at THE GRAMMYS, BBMAs, AMA. Not to mention their favs literary name dropping these shows in every Western shows INTERVIEWS as their next target. I am not condemning it. It only proves "BTS PAVED THE WAY". 🤷♀️

Best part is that if all groups disbanded BTS would still carry the kpop industry. If any other group disbanded they won’t impact the industry by a bit. On the other hand if BTS did ..kpop would immediately go downhill.

"IN THE GARAGE...IN THE TRENCHESSSS" 💀. Ive never seen that picture, but DAMN bighit was poor poor. This is rlly encouraging tho, cause i don't come from a wealthy family and that comes with it's struggles. Seeing what BTS has achieved by working hard and not giving up keepse going. To start from absolutely NOTHING and then be the biggest artist in the world?!? Definitely didn't happen overnight, but if they can do it and achieve their dreams, so can i. So to all the ppl who wanna be crybabies and deny the fact that they paved the way, think what u want to.
This is the exact motivation I have too! If Jin can do it, I can do it, if BTS can do it, I can do it. I’ll do it in my own way, but my dream is going to become a reality, that’s a promise to myself. Good luck to you
I hope you achieve what you dream of like BTS 👍👍👍
Actually, that pic was when they were in Los Angeles during American Hustle Life. Altho Bighit was indeed struggling financially at that point to even get a temporary studio in LA. It's better to note that they do have a decent studio in SK at the time.

BTS PAVED THE WAY
It is actually interesting because they started from very little to looking where they are today is more than what 2013 offered. They had to work their way up.
Throughout 9 years, almost 10 each time they acted and remain humble and always give gratitude to ARMY.
If you look at their first dance practices, it was in the old building Big Hit, small dance room, and now in the Hybe building it has 17 floors and the dance practice room itself is upgraded.
When they were small and making their way, before 2017 they did not go on many variety shows and instead created Run BTS. A lot of the economic changes and growth partially came from revenue of BTS music, tours, and merch.
When I listen to Kpop music, other artists and their songs, I stream and listen because I like their stuff not because of views.
Their song SEA, the lyrics show the hardship(s) they went through in the early years of their career. Suga sings the line “the seven of them sleeping in one bedroom”. Hardships continued later on (2018 LY era) with other things like plager*sm, xenophobia, racism).
Great video Sebastine!! 💜

Bro the amount of talent in kpop is insane. If labels put their pride down and actually focus on the music, think of how different the industry would look.

They'd be stronger together 😭 but noooo it's every man for himself. -sigh-

@@SkywalkerSnape So, tell to your idol to move to Big Hit E., so they can reach their full potential.
This is why I love Big hit producers and choreographers. Bts of course. You can tell they put all their heart and soul into their music and performances.
I salute Boracity Magazine for her video, risky but it is the truth.
I remember when I was in highschool (2015) all of kpop fans in our class are Exo-ls, Sones, VIP and im the only one who knows BTS they told me before "Who are they? They're not even famous. You're stanning a poor and flop group etc." But when 2016 came and BTS won their first ever daesang in MMA and Artist of the Year (daesang in MAMA) my classmates became ARMY (update they are still ARMY to this day that now we are college students). BTS proved to me that a group from a small company could make it too, little did I know that will be the start of their stardom and they will be the biggest boygroup in the world. I may stan other groups now aside from BTS but I will never regret the happiness of being an ARMY, those times that I defended them from haters on socmed, all of those happy moments whenever they won in award shows, and the huge amount of help that BTS gave me through music when I suffered in PTSD and Depression (they are one of the reasons why I survived my challenging youth)
They deserve all of the awards and recognition they received, despite being called as "Superstars" now they remain humble, their passion for music never change, and their love for ARMYS didn't fade. This year will be their 10th Anniversary and I would say that BTS is not yet done they will achieve more and more
And for those haters that said BTS will finally in their downfall when they go to Military service huh jokes on you guys :>

I never thought i would stan BTS only because i was supposed to like kpop music as a whole and i don't feel the connections to them like what i did with BTS. They just felt real and i felt comfortable with them.
Now, i can't believe it's been over 5 years now and i still keep loving them more and more.
I honestly don't understand how some people lose their love for them (or found another groups) because for me it's getting deeper each time 😂
Anyways, BTS PAVED tHE WAY..
I love you for saying this 😉.. I felt the same too ,before BTS i tried to listen other groups but the connection like i have with BTS is real. They are REAL , not bullshitting to be in Fame ..
@@sabbybarquio1789 same I practically wasted entire 2021 forcing myself into becoming a kpop stan. I would stay updated about every group listen to all their song but as the year approached its end i realised it wasn't for me and I only liked BTS. They have made a great impact on me, it's surreal that I feel a connection to a boyband also I never really related to other fandom because they were everready to throw hate on armys (me).
Old ARMY Here 💜💜💜💜
@@sabbybarquio1789yea now only bts and nothing else. I feel uncomfortable with other bands
Oh my... I just came across your comment and I feel the same! I tried really hard to listen to other groups. I can appreciate it, I like some but I don't feel the connection I feel for BTS. I can only listen to other groups a few times, but I can listen to BTS all day.. BTS actually ruined music for me 😂 I cannot listen to any other music other than theirs now, because they have all the genres for my every mood! Borahae 💜
i just need other fandoms and companies (not necessarily the artists because I'm sure 95% of them are being controlled by their company) to stop taking offense or to stop seeing "bts paved the way" as an insult. because it isn't. its a fact. it does not mean everyone before or after them are talentless or have no achievements.
Fandoms first then lables. Goodness. The fandoms are way more delusional than the word delusion itself
Ahaha I laughed so hard with the “confidence is everything” remark 😂😂😂 I mean, confidence is great, but BTS’ humility is for me, one of the main reasons they are so loved! They would never ever say what Jennie said… NEVER! They would never say… “we did that, we did this…” Thay have always attributed their success to ARMY, and so so so thankful all the time… and they rarely credit themselves… its nice to the heart to follow humble artists! thanks for the Vid Seb!
Some of these comments are the perfect example of “why is it so hard to except it” 😭💀 anyways bts paved the way 💜💜
FRRRR
I purple you 💜💜💜💜
Don't mind them dey knew the truth but refused to accept cause they are blind to see BTS is the one who paved the way for kpop and that's on period 💯🥰 let BTS forever and God bless everyone who accepted and love my 7angels AMEN 🙏💯🤗 💜 Jungkook 💜 Jhope 💜Jin💜jimin💜V💜Rm💜Suga💜sarayhnae
i heard an ivy league college business professor say that if you have anything to do with business or if you want to work in the field, you can't not know who bts is because then you're not doing your job right or your homework. and this was business in general, not just music industry business
See ive been saying Bts is bigger than just music universities/colleges we be talking about them because this is globally on ever level especially economic wise based off how Korea is loosing billions/trillions of dollars because of BTS even with the big 3 and other Kpop artist combined they aren't shutting down revenue.
Bro they're rlly causing money loss of a whole country by just taking a break 😭.
Yes😭😂
Yes 😂😂😂😂 and that the power they hold
I was watching some videos on IG and a lot of people got stuck saying that BTS didn't pave the way for the industry not only in Korean music but in all Asian music too, I'm really I get really mad when people don't accept the crap, just the fact that it's right there, but as the saying goes "everyone sees what they want to see, it's easier to judge than believe"
Funny how some groups fandoms are delusional when their favs literally said bts paved their way for them. Seriously, listen to your favs and accept it already. BTW, Seb ate 😊
This is why I only listen to BTS out of all the Kpop out there. The passion and skill levels are worlds apart. There is no "next BTS" and never will be. If they decide to end (god forbid), no one can touch their legacy.
44:39 and after talking to the UN, a gg went to the UN and talked too. Do you wanna know why?
"BTS visited the U.N. to help UNICEF promote Generation Unlimited, a campaign dedicated to educating young people and providing them vocational training."
.
do you wanna know why the other group went there?
.
They were going "to speak on sustainable development and the metaverse at the UN" in order to advance their own group's METAVERSE promotion.
The narrator speak FACTS. She appreciate all the Kpop groups before BTS for introducing KPOP but those all Kpop groups never paved for other artists like BTS did. Because the Big 3 (SM, YG, JYP) companies never let others artists to shine and love to sabotage other artists especially artists from small companies. They are also why BTS take longer time to get popular. BTS has made the path become more easier for others to enter.
And now the Big 3 is busy trying to create the 'next BTS' and throwing away their artist natural talent instead of let their artist to create music in their own way or style. All Kpop artists is unique and I don't want them to be 'next someone'. Diversity of music and style in Kpop industry is what made me fall in love in Kpop.
Seb actually spilled as he always does. Don't let them silence you!!!
Just recently bp were invited in some royal banquet hosted by king charles himself... what’s ironic is that despite them being there sitting with the royals in a long table, still bts are the ones constantly mentioning and given recognition by everyone for their unprecedented influence worldwide and not bp... all these girls have to do is to held their heads down while listening to what the speakers are saying... duh😏😏😏

One of the things people don't realise are that bts were part of the og youtubers era.

The TH-cam newbie growth era.
And I think its one of the coolest things ever.
And they still are youtube based.
Each members are having their own TH-cam shows now.
It's kind of legendary.

Exactly! From american hustle life and bangtan bomb eraaaaa 💜
@@catetupas973 nd blogs too
3:11 and 3:40
Yup this is basically why BTS paved the way regardless of who is the most popular Kpop artist in the future. BTS were the first K-Pop group to release Top1 hits, become mainstrean, and stay in that position to this day it is a fact, objective not subjective. They caused a lot of people to check out other groups from the industry making it smoother for those groups to have more fans instead of them having to rely on solely just K-Pop fans from mid-3rd gen and past generations.(Which obviously had a smaller audience than it did before 2017 and forward. Not saying the fandoms were little just saying that they were less compared to right now.)
My little sister says "Blackpink paved the way and are more popular than BTS" And I was like "yo,shut the fuck up"
As much as I want BTS to do a Super Bowl, I don’t want them to be the subject to the extreme racism added on top of what they already receive.
Because BTS PAVE THE WAY now ALL of Kpop groups will have an opportunity to:
-Speak at UNGA (3x)
-Will recieve HWAGWAN ORDER OF CULTURAL MERIT
-Will recieve a VAN FLEET AWARD
- be a PRESIDENTIAL ENVOY
- perform at FIFA
- be nominated at GRAMMYS, BBMA, AMA
- Will have 4 nights STADIUM tours with extension to an adjacent Arena.
- will be Ambassador and have FREE concert to help the Government.
-be invited to the WHITE HOUSE.
-contribute to the GDP of the country.
-and will have 800+ awards
-and the list goes on.
Still...tone down the superiority complex.
Pretty sure there were other groups who were nominated in music awards shows in the US before BTS. And other groups don't need BTS to win lots of awards to make it possible for the other groups to win lots of awards...
Also perform at time square on new year eve as a group and individually
perform at lollapalooza
invited to white House against anti asian hate crimes
Partnership with unga for love yourself campaign...and so on

I never understood why saying “bts paved the way” triggers so many kpop stans. Majority of the groups y’all stand ADMIT bts paved the way 😭. It doesn’t mean bts built them up and made them successful. The hate kpop stans have for bts is insane. it’s almost like they blame bts for the lack of success their favs have in the west.
This simple thing doesn’t go in their head. They mix up 'Who started it' with ' Who made it easier'
Kpop groups do have more success in the west. They just don't have BTS success. A lot of non Kpop fans would not know, like & stream a lot of these groups, if not for BTS paving the way.
@@jg5615 Yes, I meant that in comparison to BTS it’s not the same.

only bitter fans can’t accept the FACT that bts paved the way for kpop.

i don’t understand why people wouldn’t understand this, im not even army but i know that bts paved the way.
one thing tho, ive seen so many armys writing “bts paved the way” on other groups achievements when no one ever mentioned bts, yes they might have paved the way but saying that seems like this groups success is ONLY because of bts
True, some toxic armys tend to go in others yt channels and say that, on that part, they are wrong and I, as an ARMY, accept it.
But when it is a BTS related video where their achievements are showing and armys are saying 'BTS paved the way', some other fans just hates on them and discredits BTS's efforts and say 'BTS did nothing, other groups did that '. That's what annoys us.

Wait... I didn't know kpop acts started twitter in 2017 only after BTS won social artist award OH MY GOD !!!
BTS were on twitter even before their debuted. They interacted with armys and always made sure their fans are good and even supported us and this is ways back in 2011 and 2012
OH MY GOD
NOW YOU CAN SEE WHO IS GENUINELY HONESTLY THERE FOR MUSIC AND FANS AND WHO IS THERE FOR PRIZES...
Bts is the only k-pop act that paved the way, LIKE EVER IN THE WHOLE HISTORY OF K-POP.
If you ask the average person about K-Pop, most of the time, BTS is the first thing they mention.
Just because this fan of K-pop learned about k-pop from another group doesn't mean that group paved the way. I knew about kpop long before the Gangnam Style boom, but I wasn't interested in bands and Korean artists, culture, dramas, etc. it only happened after I became interested in BTS. I found out about them thanks to the army's vlog from their concert in LA.
Just read -> Blue House spokesman Kim Yoo Kyum stated, “It has been decided that the Hwagwan Order of Cultural Merit will be awarded to the seven members of BTS who further promote the spread of hallyu (Korean wave) and have influenced the development of k-pop culture and art ".
BTS are the only group to receive this award! Not Stray Kids or BP, Got7, Exo, Psy… none of them. BTS is a group that has shaken the Korean economy, thanks to them other groups can get a deferment from the army for 2 years, this is a group that they wanted to exempt from compulsory military service.
What if not this is the bottom line that bts actually paved the way¿!
Everything that was said in the video, all these facts ... they are the ones that prove that BTS has taken k pop to another level in the world.
It was they who paved the way!
I appreciate your reaction! Cuz it was mine watching this along with you! FACTS!
I hate to come back and reading some of the comments and how Boracity explained what "Paving the way" means people STILL acting obtuse its sad but laughable, NOBODY is putting down other groups, I've come to the conclusion people just want to be mad about something and instead of being logical are Wayyyy to emotional about FACTS all of what Boracity talked about can be Googled, Kpop was not that popular till BTS came here ( America) is not that hard we the American fans didn't know anything about Kpop are how huge it was in Korea till Bts now its on scale that even some of ya'lls favs can be known and get new fans you would think that would be satisfying but once again some of you are stuck on PAVING the WAY and think that is taking away from the hardwork of other kpop groups. BTS paved the way whether you like or not. How is one group and one company can cause a major economic shift and the big 3 and with many groups aren't? That within itself is telling.
BTS may be the first that ever had that much mind control magic on them to make them that popular that quickly though.
@@jameshenrysmith7385 They don't need mind control: just authenticity: sharing their real thoughts and feelings and giving back on a horizontal scale not from above.

It’s the whole story from start to now. Where they came from, who they are, the struggles they had. I am over 40 and have no interest in K-pop. Such a toxic industry. BTS has left that behind. They are much bigger than that now. They write, produce, sing, rap, they do it all sharing a great message along the way. They are a world wide boy band, the other K-pop groups have not reached that yet. There will never be another BTS, accept it. This started with my daughter but i finally realized how important they were to her and have nothing but respect for them.
I’m 34 and when my younger sister said in 2016: oh I love BTS and middle one: oh I love EXO, I was like: ok it’s some childish stuff for school girls...
My shock in 2022 when I saw their albums after 2019 😳 just nobody can even imagine this.
And now I’m here and even loving the early BTS school songs 😂
Blackpink paving the way is so delusional 😂
no other groups paved the way. ONLY BTS. ☺️
other groups may be famous way before bts but they didn't make it easier for everyone. and other groups may be the starting point of locals in kpop but that is not paving the way.

33:40 Boracity literally had to explain what "paving the way" means. She put the definition on the screen and spelled out what the phrase means.... That was literally the FIRST thing she did, YET here you guys are making the same mistake again!
When the road has already been paved, how did the others "also pave the way"? As already mentioned, the road had already been paved for these groups (by BTS)....
NO, they didn't "also pave the way", there's no "list of people who paved the way", and there's definitely no truth in "BTS paved the way along with xyz..." The only truth is "BTS PAVED THE WAY!" (on their own. They didn't have support from anybody be it KPOP or media or other groups or whatever, they did it on their own) Period!
Also, if by this you're meaning to say that these groups are also very big then yes they are. These 3 groups have been the biggest KPOP groups for a while BUT no one is at BTS level. They're not even as big as the 2018 BTS yet.... and Not Even all 3 combined are anywhere near BTS. In fact, if you combine the 8 biggest KPOP acts(or even 10) etc, BTS is still bigger! (be it sales, streams, records, charts, awards, firsts, concert tours, etc) BTS are bigger than the big 3 combined right now(and have been since years ago). BTS has been competing with huge mainstream artists AND beating them(AMAs, BBMAs, IFPI, etc)!
It's just the media play making these other groups look bigger than they are, making it look like these groups are a "competition" to BTS. And this media play and then these fandoms' delusions is exactly what makes ARMY mad.
No, I'm not trying to shame or insult any of these other groups or whatever (they have their own achievements that are impressive in their own rights)... I think skz are good (They're doing well and making good music). Even though JYP and the media's "Skz is the next BTS" does piss me off, I still think they're putting in the effort and are a worthy group( and are also respectful of BTS) (I don't like Exo or bp cuz I don't like their music and they are so shady... esp bp, buying awards and constantly doing media play to steal BTS's Earned achievements etc etc). And of course, they are very popular and successful as well. BUT saying they or these other groups also paved the way is nothing but a LIE!
These acts didn't open any new doors, they didn't carve or polish a path, they didn't have to face the struggles BTS did, they have/had the support and the big3 privilege from the start (and of course, BTS made it easier for them). So please stop these lies. The only thing it does is set these groups up (and also downplay their own achievements).
You don't have to put them against BTS for them to be impressive, I think they can be impressive on their own... if you let them (and if you're putting them against BTS to make them sound impressive, it just means you're insecure and don't think they are good enough by themselves... which is sad fyi)... Again though, that won't mean "they also paved the way" because paving the way doesn't mean one group is better or whatever, it just means this person or group made it easier for others to walk a road that had been very very difficult to walk through.
there’s nothing wrong with thinking bts paved the way, just remember the senior groups who paved the way for bts. because without them, there wouldn’t be a kpop.
@@victoriab98 missing the point again. nobody is saying bts created kpop, but they paved the way for these groups on a global scale. as mentioned in the video, paving the way does not equal creating something.

@@Doyoungismyfave they paved the way outside of Korea and even within Korea for a lot of things.
After bts's UN appearance SM pushed aespa to speak at UN about environmental sustainability and what they said was so embarrassing and ironic coz they were trying to promote their AI concept by saying if we don't have better real world we can never think about having a good virtual world 🙄 knowing that creating these AI models and stuff are one of the factor contributing to environmental problems.. Like the vidoe said, they just want to replicate what bts have achieved instead of taking this as an opportunity to spread their art and music in global market, they just want what bts have to be known as better than bts but if they actually focus on their music and their own artistic identity using this opportunity they might be able to be better than bts one day but they want instant fame and name

Saying BTS paving the way does not take the other group's credit at all. They deserves every praise they get, but it's just not deniable BTS made the platform bigger for groups than it is before their time.
BTS is beyond the k pop industry
I whole-heartedly agree with this entire video and I also agree with what you said Seb about other groups paving the way in k-pop too, I'm a massive fan of Stray Kids, Mamamoo and SVT but without BTS making it into the global music industry k-pop probably wouldn't be known as much around the world, this is just my take on it feel free to correct me or give me more info! BTS paved the way!! 💜💜
I was waiting for your reaction to this video! 💜 The way this brought out so many emotions out of you is so relatable lmao
When we say BTS paved the way, k-pop fans think that we are saying that to undermine their favorite groups or solo artists success and basically saying that "BTS made their careers" but that's not true it all. BTS paved the way means that BTS opened ways and more opportunities for k-pop acts to grow and be known in the global industry.
I've been into k-pop for years, I've been an army since 2016 but I know k-pop way before and let me tell you that after BTS got that award at the BBMAs in 2017 and started to get more and more global recognition, a LOT of things changed in k-pop. Maybe it's harder for new k-pop fans to recognize the "BTS paved the way" because they know the current k-pop and since the beginning have watched a lot of K-pop idols in the charts and promoting in USA and other countries, but that was not common it all.
I think it's ok if Kpoppies don't want to mention BTS because they don't have to, but what it is wrong is they and other labels and their groups discredit BTS' hard work and being in denial. I respect all the idols that have admitted that fact, say thank you to Bangtan for what they did and keep going with their careers.
BTS paved the way are facts, not something that Army just invented. the "x paved their own way" it's just sad because we all know the truth...
This is the third time I’ve watched this video, Seb, I appreciate your comments in defense of BTS, because it’s all true. No reason to work yourself up arguing with these haters because stupid is as stupid does. Not worth it.
To be honest k pop would not be so much popular around the world without BTS that is a fact without a doubt
When others say 'they paved by their own way' how's it's work when literally the entire company is behind them with power and strategics...and if you talk about hardwork..that each and every group do.. from small company to big company..from debut rookies to legend's.. everyone
The most delusional people who dont accept this are the other FANDOMS who always claim thwir faves are the best of paving their own ways. Like... Lol? 😭🤣
And it's not only the fandoms...there are groups who are bitter to bts success too
I won't drop names but that's the reality💀
I say it’s just toxic people of any kind. I’m not Army. But I respect BTS a great deal.

Wish you all a happy new year! Lots of good opportunities to see/ hear our favorites and stay happy and healthy everyone ❤️
FACT: BTS PAVED the Way‼️
As much of an ignorance this is on kpop society an example of this is shown like when kpop groups are in the US, on multiple occasion alot of interviewers and passerby call these kpop group "BTS" even when they are not . This is to show that if anything kpop related comes to anyone mind who is not well aware of it will think BTS and only BTS, as much of this ignorance is hurtful to see
this will forever be the most pointless debate because it's literally just a phrase that many people understand differently, and even if it was something objective, what are we supposed to do with this information? I feel like the only reson people even argue about it is because of the way it's used. Like why do you have to spam it in other artist's achievements? it's like you can't stand other people celebrating other things than your favs, so childish
YG their agency themselves have said in one of their articles that bts paved the way 'Indeed, BTS's increasing global presence in developed markets over the past several years has paved the way for partnerships between other K-pop artists and US labels (Universal Music Group for BLACKPINK)
Wow I'm so amazed at how fired up you are. ARMY is right there with you. I however doubt the Super Bowl won't be able to afford them. But I'd like to see that for sure 💜💜💜🤟
BTS definitely paved the way! Blinks stop being deluluZ
FACTS bioTCH # Bts army💜
Gangnam Style is a great song but one of the great things about it is that it's hilarious, purposely. I think that heavily contributed to it becoming a meme.
Not just in west BTS paved in whole world for kpop m from india nd before BTS no one or very few people know about kpop but now BTS almost become household name people hate or love but everyone know BTS nd same goes for South Asian countries people got intrested in Korea k-pop just bcz of BTS in India there is huge fan following of BTS nd know kpop becomes common bcz BTS really paved the way not in west but in world too infact in my country BTS is equivalent to whole k-pop, k-pop means BTS to them nd those who always says there groups paved their own way and all do they forget how much hate BTS get when they were almost new to West and world when their culture is unknown people hate them bcz wearing makeup nd talking shit about them but now when BTS becomes mainstream nd many people people becomes familiar to kpop culture thanks to BTS other groups don't have to face those things bcz BTS already did that
It's fact that no one change BTS paved the way in world for kpop nd i respect all groups who are working hard to achieve that level of succes with their own way nd BTS paved their own way nd others too they didn't have enough money when they debut to do media plays and they still don't do it when they have money bcs their talent nd army's love is enough 💜🙏
