I've already talked about BTS before quite quickly, and now I wanted to write an article about something amazing that our fandom (ARMYs) and BTS did: they were nominated at the BBMAS, and yesterday they finally won the Top social artist award which is "crazy" for a k-pop band,
especially for BTS.
Why ? Well, unlike kpop bands such as EXO, 2NE1 or Bigbang which are under very big companies (SM, YG...), it's very hard in the korean music industry to get really famous nationally, and it's even harder to be famous internationally.
To quickly introduce you BTS' story, they are a seven-member kpop band which is under Bighit entertainment, this company is really small, BTS being their only boyband and the one that makes it become bigger actually! If you dig a little bit, you will find stories about their hard debut: indeed, at their debut, they couldnt buy themselves a proper meal because their incomes were really low, whereas now they have more than they need; so as a fan that follows them ever since their first Music video, it was a really weird feeling to see them come throughout all of this and end up at the BBMAS, by great american artists' side!
Anyway, I hope that you will enjoy taking a look at their last comeback and support them! ♥
PS: Just to make you realize how much they've climbed the ladder, take a look at the difference between their first concerts and now!!
See you Charlie!
- a super happy ARMY c:
they really did make history! The fact that when i was younger everytime i would talk about k-pop (being the first gendra of music i discovered on my own and of course obssesed with because of how different it is) to people they wouldn't know what i'm talking about and now after winning people are starting to open up to this "world" and stop being so close minded about it makes me really happy!
ReplyDeleteIKR! That's so cool that finally people start to try to discover it!
DeleteBy the way, they had an interview and they said that maybe next year they will perform at the BBMAS ;))
love your articles Dana! Thank youuu you're the best
ReplyDeletethank youu love you too ♥
Deletehow amazing !! it must be really nice to have such a powefull community as an artist. This price at the Bilboard will probably bring them even more fame, you must be really happy!! Maybe I am going to try to listen to Kpop... send me your fave songs hun :*
ReplyDeleteyeahhh indeed, a lot of western artists started to have interest in them such as The Chainsmocker, Laura Morano and even Desiigner hugged the youngest member of BTS!
Deletedon't even worry imma be your main phone notification ;)
Damn Dana they're the best !!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe they actually got such an award ! I know I'm not as big a kpop fan and listener as you are but BTS are a must! I personally prefer Blood Sweat And Tears , but you already knew that > < and I like Boy In Luv nearly as much! They can do sooo many different types of songs it's amazing ! Plus they can dance unlike SOME other singers ...
Go Kpop !!!!
YAY! You should take a look at ACE's street perfomances in Seoul: they covered a lot of k-pop dances/songs, they are really talented! They even made their debut today which is called "Cactus" but I didn't love it ^^
DeleteI had never heard of them before but they're cool. Their songs are good but I don't like songs where I don't understand what they are saying. They dance well though haha.
ReplyDeleteYeah I totally understand that it must be perturbing haha but we get used to it and we even get to learn some korean words by listening to korean songs/ watching kdramas which is really cool haha
DeleteAlways a good thing to discover more about K-pop, keep on writing about it !
ReplyDeleteThank you! :)
DeleteI knew about them and I have listened to one of their songs. It is so cool for them that they get more and more successful!
ReplyDeleteI know right? I'm so happy for them!
DeleteWhen I saw "Dana" I could feel the kpop thing coming ahaha
ReplyDeleteI will always remember that face you made when I said "japanese songs" and you basically were about to kill me (that's one of the reasons *you're not my daughter anymore)
shame on youu
DeleteAs an ex kpop fan (bts army kind of) this news made me really happy to be honest! I love how music from all around the world can be appreciated and the fact even if we don't really understand what their saying we still can feel a connection to their music so it's good to see that artist like them are getting bigger
ReplyDeleteI know right!!
DeleteYeeeeees BTS ! I'm really happy for them and for everything that they accomplished so far onnto their carrer ! I remember watching videos of them asking people to come to their concert on the streets of Seoul , withtout knowing that , in 3 years , their concerts would be sold out in less than a minute (literraly) around the world. I'm so proud of them for all of this and I can't wait to see what they're going to offer us in the future !
ReplyDeletexoxo , Abdel (a supper happy Army too ^^)
Well you could say I was kind of a kpop fan at some point and I still really like it to be honest. BTS was one of the main bands I listened to so to see that made me really happy and proud of them!
