As a person who used to laugh at people who were into BTS and their music I totally understand why you may think of it as an obsession and what your concerns may be.
Let me tell you why I really like them. I came across one of their performances by pure accident while going through youtube videos. I watched their performance and honestly it was mermerizing. I had never seen anything like it! They had catchy music and powerful choreography. Now I have never been a person who goes crazy over bands or musicians but I was really curious and wanted to know who these people are and how a small band from Korea made such a huge impact in western media. So I read up and did my research.
At the end of it all I found that theyâre a group of 7 absoluteley genuine and humble men. Just like me, theyâre in their twenties and their commitment to what they do is really inspiring. They started out as nobodys, been through A LOT and have reached where they are today through pure hardwork.
As for their music, their music is just different. Unlike your usual POP songs that talk about love, sex and drugs and are just shallowâŚTheir songs go deeper and talk about stuff that society likes to sweep under the rug . Their lyrics are poetic master pieces. That is why, contrary to popular belief, their fanbase is one of the most diverse fanbases in the world (Age, Race and Gender). You will find anyone from a little kid to a person over 60 at a BTS concert. Iâve attached a picture of an old couple that were spotted at a BTS concert in the states and thatâs just one tiny example.
So honestly, when people actually get to know their music without having stereotypes of them singing in a foreign language and âhaving teenagers as fansâ, there in no way you CANâT appreciate their music. In todayâs world where the media and the music industry like feeding us garbage, BTS are more than a breath of fresh air.
