I am a 71 year old dude from Chicago. Been Army for over three years now. You probably can not get more general public than I am. Most of the so-called popular music is just pablum. BTS is real food. They have depth and breadth and height. They are the real thing.
so true☺
I’m a 77 year old that loves BTS. Their music, dancing and character are in a league by themselves.
I'm a 63 year old grandma and I love BTS!!!
Ditto! I’m a 48 y/o husband and father of two. My daughter and wife got me into BTS during COVID. I have to say, BTS is one of the few groups that the entire family can enjoy.
I'm a 69 yr old Black grandma. And I love BTS!!! Namjoon is my Korean son!
SUGA gave the best answer:
"Slaves to capitalism, slaves to money
Slaves to hatred, prejudice, and revulsion
Slaves to *CZcams*, slaves to flexing
Selfishness and greed are
frantically rampaging Turn a blind eye and it's all easy,
it's all obvious
Opinions are so transparently
driven by interests
Everyone is blinded by envy and jealousy"

Suga is the quiet one but when you push don't get upset or whine when he pushes back with his lyrics💜🙏🏼💐to BTS
That’s so freaking TRUE!!!
I like Suga. I think he is a strong, self assured and mature person.😊
And that’s the first rapper to earn over $3 million in a single arena concert in US history. Note: I didn’t say "first ASIAN rapper." I said first rapper. {{{Mic drop}}}
I am not surprised at all. I'm 49, and I have never supported an artist in the same way as BTS. I will keep supporting them because they are fantastic humans and artists.
Me too! They're the 1st artist that I've been so deep into!!! 💕
You can say that again! I've never been a fan to anyone. This one got me. I'm a SUPER FAN. I 💜 them to bits.🫰✌️💃💃💃
Preach…. BTS is the who got me listening to K-Pop. I am 65 and a young ARMY of only four years. These gentlemen are not only extremely talented, but their music has no age limits. When I first heard them, I did a deep dive into their music and loved everything I discovered. I will be an ARMY for as long as I am on this earth.
Precisely
Am a South African and am totally impressed by BTS. Following BTS for just over 2 years, regret that was not a fan from way before.
I agree that their music is of such great quality, I am in my 50s and am so overwhelmed with their music, dance, character and spirit.
They are such great men, teach such great values and provide hope for the future. This is not a fad, so looking forward to their future work.
Totally support them all.
During the Las Vegas concerts after the Grammy loss, you could see that BTS’s had finally had enough. They got the message loud and clear, and they basically felt that they were no longer going to play everybody’s game. So their current pathway and choices doesn’t surprise me at all because they have finally had enough And they are not willing to play by anybody’s rules anymore. Not the western music scene, not the K-pop music scene and not the politics of whether or not they were going to serve in the military or not. They have had enough and were making their own choices and army is right behind them.
yes ture they feel sure that army will wait for them and they don´t need any help. they feel fine with being who they are they no longer strive for a goal because they already reached the limit.
Agree,GO BTS!!
Like Suga say Grammy is Local Thing
Exactly and I’m glad they decided it that way. They are smart, and so far it’s been going well for the most part. I just miss Jin and JHope and can’t stand the thought of another one enlisting. I think this may be difficult for ARMY
I LOVE Suga. He’s really shining right now and enjoying himself. I love it!!
I'm a 51 year old army. I found BTS in 2015 when my 23 year marriage ended in divorce. I have never been able to afford there albums or concerts or anything but that is okay. BTS found me when I needed them the most. I am forever Army. Love your reaction videos. Be proud of yourself and who you have become. Much love to you. Always stay safe and healthy. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜.
We love you army 💜 Stay healthy, stay safe and be happy!
I know how you feel BTS helps me through my health issues by not giving up and fighting to get back my health. The song Not Today Yes! It became my anthem. Fighting to regain control over my life from a stroke in 2021. Yes they found me as well. My dream is to be at their first concert when they come back in 2025. Forever Army and always BTS.
BTS Saved my life🦋😘
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I’m the same age as you, divorced and I ignored BTS for years, (this was my kids teeny bopper music. 🤦🏻♀️) Well, 2023 happened, my Dad was diagnosed with cancer and somehow I found comfort with K-dramas and BTS. They’ve helped me travel this journey with my Dad, and are now there as I say good-bye. Might be late to the table, and yet I’m a fan.
In time all justice does prevail.......we are truly in the midst of seeing the tides of chane shifting and BTS and it's members managers CEO staff families fans are randomly at the pinicle helm and the change that we are witnessing! I find comfort in change. It is the way of the universe. However, this greed manipulation that this BRILLANT ARMY described and explained so astutely is an example of entities and organizations who refuse to let go of the monopolizing they have profited from and gloated over for decades. Change is here .......and BANGTANG is the change.
As a retired data analyst and die-hard ARMY I have also noticed many many discrepancies regarding charting of their music etc. The only thing I can say is that BTS rules and ARMY will keep supporting them always. There aren't many "top" artists out there that wouldn't kill to have a fandom like ARMY! And in all honesty if tickets went on sale for a "maybe..lol" 2025 tour today they would be sold out by midnight all over the world and it doesn't matter if it's an arena or stadium!!! Me and my old body will be there supporting them just like I did in Chicago. Have a blessed rest of your weekend.
i love to hear it😏 so true
100% CORRECT!! There is really nothing like this fandom. A lot of FUN LOVING MUSIC LOVERS all over the world… sold out in 12 hrs everywhere. I really hope the guys believe it and want that still.
Others with the intelligence, courage and straight up correct data to support, should be doing the same thing as Boracity, multiple people should be publishing when they can, I think it would help to have more than just here and there, sure it would help Boracity to have more help in this, blasting the industry! Love and appreciate Boracity. Wish I had the intelligence, smarts to analyze data. ARMY and BTS, always having to fight for fair representation, just terrible!!!
@@WilliamsAK07 I guess I never really thought about it until your post. I never really thought about a platform to share the data.
me too 😂
What an eye opener. Just wait till they come back in 2025. We don’t need their Damn Grammy BTS is bigger than any American artist. I’m an American age 70 and Love BTS 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I have a lanyard with OT7 on it that carries my wallet. I was in the store and the girl recognized them and then started to say that she knew they were on a break or something and that when they came back it wouldn’t be the same. It was so awkward for me to listen to her go on about something she knows nothing about. I for one an going to be saving up my money until 2025 or 2026 just for the chance to be one of the people who gets to go to the first OT7 concert in years and I know there are millions who feel just like me. The “General public” does not understand this and it’s not like you can explain the depth and breadth of what BTS is to a stranger in 30seconds. Time will tell and ARMY will talk by their actions as time goes on. I believe that ARMY will just be bigger than ever when they come out of the military and I can’t wait for the day we get to show them our support in person and prove everyone wrong.
Nunca he apoyado a un artista como a BTS, son lo mejor que he escuchado en mi vida, sus mensajes su frescura y su gran talento y HUMILDAD. Los apoyarte siempre para el resto de mis días.
Su vuelta después del Servicio Militar será impresionante, ni ellos mismos lo podrán imaginar. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I am 65 and I totally agree with you.
Amen. Well done, it only shows what I’ve already been thinking and will always support BTS!❤💜💗💕😘🥰😍
@@rubyflint8410 me to
Since she posted this, it has been confirmed that the change that Billboard made was to only count an email address once for album purchases. So, it doesn't matter if a person forks over the money for 10 albums, it was considered a single purchase if they used the same email for the purchases. What made me laugh was that Jimin literally lost 90% of his sales numbers and had zero radio spins, but still made #45 on the top 100 for the second week. They took so much from him, but he was still in the top 50. Suga made it clear that BTS is now aware that it doesn't matter what BTS or ARMY do, the Western music industry will literally change their own rules to keep BTS and BTS members down. The music industry's accolades are completely worthless and now everyone knows it. I don't think that the Western music industry is going to like the fallout from this.
I saw literally how ARMY were voting to keep Take Two on billboard in first place, and at the moment of closing they were third??????? howw????
May I ask.who posted vlog ?
@@Lee-vb4vh the channel is Boracity
Thank you for sharing this information.
I am 63 year old, British lady and will always support them. Yes, they are talented and care so much for Army. I truly believe the world is a better place because they are in it. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I agree! Seems that boys are our hope to stop injustice and corruption. I’m 49 yo, I joined FB a month ago only for the one and only reason: to join UK Senior Army and felt like I found a family. I hope you’re with us. 👍
Boracity Magazine is INCREDIBLE. All of her videos are insightful, intelligent and fact-based. She kills it every time.
agree
So smart and a lot of research!
Thank you! ❤️🍀
Only in America. .? I don’t understand . Why is this allowed.? Now you know why they are so hurt, I really get it. Besides the cruelty they Endure Dailey , they had so much against them . Maybe you should show this all over the world. Thank goodness for ARMY. I ❤️you all. ❤️🍀
Agree!! Love her work!! She is amaJin 👍😃💜
I am 35 and a mother of four … I am an ARMY for 4 years now… i will always support them. They changed my life , they saved my life , they saved my marriage , they saved my relationship with children , i am forever indebted to them
My 10 year old introduced me and my oldest daughter to BTS, and thank God she did!!! I’m a 56 year old diehard ARMY!!! I’m on disability and can’t afford to buy merch or albums and definitely could never attend a concert but, they were there when I needed them and I’ll ALWAYS be here for them. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
BTS does NOT need radio, Grammys, etc. They will always have something more powerful than any industry…..Global ARMY!!
I’m 55 and will keep fighting for and defending BTS for life. 💜
i am 52 old army, i found RUN BTS on youtube accidentally in 2019 when I was suffering from my country's hardship situation, and then I became army after deeply reading their music, and know more about their personality... BTS members are all angels for healing ppl
I am a 74 year old Grandmother from Austin, Texas. BTS is my adrenaline rush for me. I get so much energy just by listening to their music. I listen to it on a daily basis. Their music has so much meaning to it. They're so young, but the words to some of the songs are like they've lived another life in another place and time. So much wisdom. They are a group of young men that have paid attention to things that are going on with society at large, whether in their own country or around the world news. They have done things with the music industry that I don't imagine is resting well with the commercial aspect of it. It's hard to describe them. They are simply amazing. I guess I am part of their ARMY. Each of them is gifted and have their own talent/talents. When it comes to the music industry, BTS is here to "RIGHT THE WRONG"! I'm just saying. FIGHTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😊😊😊😊😊💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
when i saw jisoo's flower music video i was really shocked because it had already reached 100 millions views yet jimin set me free pt2 was still at about 50 million views, i knew something was not right cause it didnt make sense when set me free was the most trending song ,people are making reaction videos..i ended up thinking that armys are just disappointing, but now it all makes sense..
I’m Army for 9 years now and am 42 years old before becoming Royal fans of BTS I’m just regular kpop listeners from 2008 never support any other idols group until BTS ..I will continue to support them until I can’t….They are Self made from bottom to the top with only support from the BTSARMY
💜
This video is a huge eye-opener for a lot of people. It shows that with all this corruption it's even more extraordinary what BTS has accomplished so far.
You know you're doing something right
when you "fall off" the American music charts! (or don't win a Grammy - twice)
...you go Jinim!!! Woo Hoo !!
Go BTS!!! 👑
Keep the American Music Industry scrambling...keep them up all night thinking up a new fake rule.
We'll be sound asleep hugging RJ 💤

love this comment! ❤
Yes, this 👏🏽 🙌 👌 😄💜
Brenda Miller • May i correct u pls with all due respect, it's *Jimin. For the rest i totally agree with u, they are appereantly can't handle réál competition huh.
😂😂😂holding Chim,chim tightly
I listen to all kinds of music. From classical to opera. After I discovered BTS ITS LIKE I WANT TO HEAR MORE. EVERY ONE OF THESE YOUNG MEN HAVE VERY UNIQUE TALENT AND THE SONGS ARE AMAZING. THE WORLD HAS BEEN BLESSED WITH THESE YOUNG MEN.
There is a variety show in Korea where Jimin and SUGA together made an appearance, the show is not even popular outside of Korea, but it has 101Million views within a few weeks. I was surprised because the MVs of both SUGA and Jimin have not received that much views. It’s just odd and seems like the algorithm is against their CZcams channel in particula but not other places where they make an appearance.
Yeah, the word is that BangtanTV and HYBE channels are not on YT's advertising program, so their views get slashed. But it may also be that YT doesn't want any more viewing records broken by ARMY.
I wonder if this is the show where SUGA mentioned is Suchwita’s rival and there was also discussion going on around nipples…maybe 🤣🤣.
I remember watching a youtube video of President Trump and the viewer numbers actually decreased as I was watching it and the dislike/like ration kept changing in a way that was weird. They have censored thousands of independent journalists, doctors, physicians as well as President Trump and conservative voices. Anyone who questions rules or doesn't follow the set narrative. You know BTS will receive millions of views but CZcams doesn't want to pay the hosts of the videos so tweak the numbers.
The same for James Corden, Jimmy Fallon and other American shows where BTS presents, if you notice
BTS has become like a giant octopus, impressively intelligent, sensitive, extremely flexible/agile and accomplished quick-change artists adapting to every situation/environment, having their enormous tentacles stretched in ALL directions, capturing and holding whatever approaches.
BTS is a class of its own and doubtlessly the more they grow, the powerful they become…
Did I mention how I haven’t listen to the radio for years??? 👎🏻 so much corruption. Im OT7. The industry won’t stop that.
Thank you John for sharing. 👍🏻
It has been over a decade since l listened to any music on the radio, and I am still a BTS fan and an ARMY…. BTW, I am 65.
Havent listened to the radio in 4 years - if they aren't willing to give my favorite artists air time, why would I listen to their BS?
@@heartsamessgaultier8562 Amen to that!!!!🫰👏👏
@@heartsamessgaultier8562 Thanks for the like, very much appreciated.
I thought it was just me that did this! I haven't listened to the radio in over 5 years! The music is crap and I won't contribute to any western stats and their corruption. Love my kpop and I will forever support them. 💜🫰💜🫰
Disclaimer: I'm a 37 year old Army in Texas who had never heard of K-pop before BTS. I listened to rock, alternative, and classical exclusively prior to BTS. I'm GP certified.
I remember back in 2018 when I joined the fandom, Twitter Armys had created State by state accounts that encouraged local Armys to call the radio stations in their state and request BTS. I cannot tell you how many times I was either hung up on, or told DJs had no say on whether a song was added or not so we needed to stop calling (WE as in there were MANY calls).
I finally gave up. And now I rarely listen to radio if I can help it. My local rock station is backed by Iheart radio and every hour for the last two years Ozzy Osbournes "Under the graveyard" has played. I literally cannot stand that song now. A true rock fan would NEVER choose under the graveyard over every other Ozzy hit every hour. So now im boycotting radio until they play BTS and some Mr. Crowley. I look at most music coming out of major labels as a manipulation from the industry- no sincerity at all. An unfortunate side effect of their shady tactics.
I am 58 I had never been so proud to be an ARMY ... they are a rare group that hits the spot every time.. and the world is jealous about it. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 "TheMagnificent7BTS
Love the moniker; THE MAGNIFICENT 7💜 Aptly put!
You know what is weird, they play BTS at Planet Fitness all of the time, even the Korean songs. I thought their music was from the radio, but maybe they are using a streaming site for the music they play. I also heard dynamite on the radio for sure. All this is to say, i have heard bts play in Vegas, where i used to live. I was at a restaurant the other day and heard this young people talking about Jimin and Suga's album, i almost turned around to say, hi fellow army, but i was too shy, because i am 48 years old you see😂.
Don't be shy! I'm 53, and I was blessed to see them during the Love Yourself/Speak Yourself tour in 2019. I went by myself and sat by myself, but all the younger ARMYs around me were so sweet and friendly, we were like family in that purple ocean! 💜
@@mochipjamas That's awesome, so happy you got to experience them live, and yes, ARMY are so loving.
The owner/manager is probably ARMY, which is awesome! You should go meet and thank them! 💜
I wouldn't have been able to contain myself. At my son's wedding (4/22/23) I overheard this young girl being told not to be listening to BTS 😁 because this is her aunt's wedding day. Waited till she was standing by herself went over and asked her her a few questions and she asked me how I knew about BTS. Poor girl didn't know what she was in for LoL. Called my granddaughter over and had her explain from beginning then she said have you seen her phone. When she saw what was in my phone poor girl went into shock she thought I was just humoring her and I told her no I am a die hard fan for BTS. I think she is still wearing that smile! It was so nice meeting someone that has a full appreciation for BTS. Get ready to be very very very busy when you get out of the military. Can't express how many people young and more mature love ya and look forward to your return! Don't be bothered by the idiots threatening you remember I've got 18 wheels and weigh about 26,000 lbs empty. Loaded could be up to 80000lbs😁hehehe. Accidents do happen hahahaha.....just joking or am I?
@@laurakellyl Lol, I heard some teenagers talking about BTS behind me in a restaurant...I almost turned around and said ARMY! Didn't do that though, I thought they may have found me a bit weird...and nosey😂. However, I wish I did say something, maybe next time I will not be so shy, seeing they would appreciate it from your experience.
They don't need awards to show they are the bosses the kings ..their music caters to all kinds of people's likes ...and these men are humble...don't flaunt that they are on top of the game...this is my opinion on why they are so popular....BTS will always be number 1....44 year old fan forever. 💜👑
I don’t use Spotify, Pandora, etc, I don’t give a crap about the Grammys or AMAs. I listen to music I like, and I love BTS. I am a 68 yr old ARMY, mom of a young ARMY woman. But it extends farther - Stray Kids, Ateez, Seventeen….real music for real people. Music with depth and meaning. Their ability fold two languages into their composing/singing/rapping is just incredibly impressive. The writing is on the wall. Keep blocking what the fans want, they will walk away. These orgs such as Billboard are on their way to being irrelevant.
also about the playlists, spotify reported and banned like about 25-30 playlists created by armys so we could listen to the new individual songs easily, that had new jimin and suga songs. they are not just doing it directly, but even doing it on smaller levels.
true i just saw a post from an army that her playlists was deleted. also when i look for playlists there is less than it used to. so i had to pay for sportify to create my own. but the funny thing is that every time my playlist end, sportify play one flower song. not the American one even though more recent songs chart higher it´s always this song. so i think they pay sportify to get sneaked in on false pretense to get more views.
and as soon as the song begin it count as a stream so they get so many fake streams that way. i have many acc and it happens on all of them so i know it´s planned that way. that´s why you should stick with playlists so a wrong song don´t play by accident. unless you want to listen to if.
I set my YT on all of my devices to not auto play at all... not even clips because it would show up in my history 🙄
I don’t think that any of my playlists have been deleted yet, but I have noticed them tacking on songs at the end of my playlist songs I don’t even know and I do have to admit that I have liked a couple of them because obviously they’re going to try and put something that’s more in the same wheelhouse as your playlist but I noticed that and I don’t appreciate it.
The moment I saw this comment, I went on to check my spotify playlists---thank god it's still there. What I don't like about spotify nowadays is when I play an entire discography from BTS, an unknown song pops up in between like what? Spotify is so messed up.
Oh so that's why the songs I liked on the different playlist was gone? I was using BTS' playlist on Spotify. And I noticed that their older songs which I have listened and click the heart/like icon was gone?!!! When I checked the older playlist that was created by Armys it was gone😢. So then I realized that's why these songs were not playing on my liked songs playlist, they were deleted on my liked playlist. Damnit
I’m 71 years old and totally understand this video which I’ve seen many times, this people are so shameful. But no matter what they do BTS WILL ALWAYS BE ON TOP. I became Army on May 20, 2018 and I’m OT7 and totally proud of our amazing boys. OT7 until the end.💜💜💜
I so agree!!!
But they are adult men pls, not boys anymore.
For the independent artists the fans support is everything. To achieve good numbers for an independent artist is proof of true success because they need real fans to achieve those things without any major label backing them. I'm a Dimash Dear and I know Dimash most likely never will be an industry favourite, no matter how talented or successful he is he will not be pushed on radio or music platforms, the fans have to work hard for him all the way. So everything BTS and ARMY have achieved is impressive, their achievements are the results of hard work - not getting anything for free. It's hard to constantly fight against the established industry but in the end I think it's much more rewarding to have that kind of true success with engaged and loyal fans willing to fight for you than having success based on being an industry favourite.
So to all the fans of independent artists out there, keep up the good work - we know our love and support matters.
When 'Yet to come' mv came out I watched it and noticed the number of views who had already seen it. I refreshed to listen to it a second time and the number of views was suddenly cut down by hundreds of thousands. I did a double take and refreshed again thinking it was a mistake. I'd heard everyone talking about it for years but that was the first time I saw it happen in front of my eyes. Couldn't believe it!
Two words for it, Music Industries are scared n coward. Money, money lol. No one can stopped BTS for real. Time change n things will change too. Now you see how corrupted Music Industries are? The boys are very talented n they each can write n produce their songs which they do n I like when they collaborate with some artists here in the USA. We like their music which is meaningful n for all ages. Awaiting their come back from their Military Duties stronger n happier.
21:36, freezing the charts and making the numbers unavailable/uncounted, is what the Korean Hanteo sales chart did with Like Crazy. They didn't want to report that Jimin surpassed 1m sales in one day, so they under-reported his sales. And when ARMY informed them of their 'glitch', because they could see the correct numbers on the real-time counter...Hanteo shut that counter down and called it a technical problem. Jimin actually reached nearly 2m sales, but Hanteo cut 770k in their efforts to keep him from breaking the record. But they had to officially report that he broke the record anyway, because K-ARMYs wouldn't quit buying and pushed it across the 1m mark...again.
Then D-Day sold 1.2m its first day, so D-Day has the record of all-time highest sales in a day. At least until the group comes back in 2025...
Facts !! When BTS comes back ARMY is going to go crazy !! BTS will be bigger and even better than before, they just keep getting better and better , TRUE KINGS !
I am 58 and since finding them in 2019 I have gone and tried to buy all of their albums since 2013….I’m 58 grew up in the 80 Michael Jackson’s era…as a teen I never purchased every Album an artist put out……..not til BTS and that is because I love the boys as people and their music is unmatched and unequaled….there will never be another group to affect the world like they have
Their music is unmatched and unequaled?
That's a bit much, considering the talent that has proceeded them for generations and all of the artists around the world that you probably don't take any time to listen to.
Widen your horizons a bit. You're stuck in a boring place.
@@connie7128 hi hon that’s my opinion …I have listened to and watched some of the most disgusting people who only know how entertain by wearing a vulgar outfit and doing most dances that you can find in any strip club…again MY OPINION!
@@connie7128 let her listen whatever she wants to ........... Everyone has different taste and opinions
thanks for your reaction. the music industry is corrupt just look at suga's d day concert as an example. all his u.s. shows were sold out, he sold over 1 million + physical copies in 24 hours of the release date and he has no radio air play and no media coverage. yet taylor swift has media and radio time, go figure. the bts 'permission to dance' concerts were only 12 shows and they were all sold out and grossed more money in 2022 than any other artist doing 100+ concert that same year. the industries hate'' towards bts is astounding and their overall disrespect is shameful. bts has been fighting against the music industry since day one and will continue to fight and remain the great independent artist that they are. it is a very rare event for a group to have 7 very talented individuals not only write, compose and produce their own music but to also have your own record label 'big hit, a complete 'in house' production company and to create your own multi media corporation known as 'hybe, is very damaging and scary for the music industry. the fandom of bts is increasing daily and bts is unstoppable, ha! ha! jimin just took part in the song 'angel pt 1 and its climbing to the top of the charts. bts and the members are a threat of 'independence on steroids' and this is what the music business industry can not handle.💜
He raked cash😂😂😂, and Swift had to pay. Its sad how manipulation, money greedy music crooks work.
@@slbean9283 News just out - Yoongi's D-Day album and world tour helped Hybe achieve up to 1 trillion KRW sales. Let the industry play their games; real people know the real story.
So glad you watched this!! I had seen this already, and it backed up everything I have noticed since becoming ARMY in 2018. I can really get behind this exposé for its journalistic, unbiased portrayal of facts. Though the endgame is in defense of BTS, the toughest arguments would have a hard time standing against these facts. My first job was in radio 3 decades ago, and I was there for the uptick in industry overtake. No more local requests and popular demand -- it all became beholden to pre-recorded, pre-ordained playlists which invalidated all the local requests at ground level. It's only gotten worse since. If you think about a group from a very small Korean label selling out the biggest stadiums worldwide for multiple nights per city YEARS before they even had "Dynamite," and "Butter," you have to realize: something is amiss in a serious way! A conspiracy theory? Try mass global attendance at every show worldwide and extensive multinational fandom, compared to top-charting Western artists. Self-love and introspection have always been subversive and never served the moneymakers(well, until Big Hit made a big hit). You can't really argue with album sales and concert attendance, versus paid-for radio streams....keep seeking your joy, ARMY! ARMY+BTS= mutual nourishment is SUPREME! Better than a Scammy...
I remember an article about the Emmy Awards and its 5million plus viewership - and across town, Jin was matching (and exceeded) that viewership when he decided to play a game in his hotel room. In his pajamas. Also, the Grammys - wasn't there an article saying that BTS' post-Grammy Vlive got more views than the Grammy Awards show? The power of real people!
51 and I'm Army, they have worked hard and it has paid off. I may never make it to a concert but their music is always playing. I can hear them wherever I go!
I'm 56. Because of BTS, I became to enjoy music again.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Same with me..am 55 & i love bts & their music❤
Im 74 year old grandma. I loved bts years. I really love them❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
i am 33 yrs old and have been an ARMY for 7 yrs. i am a music lover and i always listen to songs that has good lyrics or music video BUT i never supported any other artist as i did when i found BTS .. i never bought a song or an album until i met BTS, i never went to a concert until i met BTS, i never binged watch specific group of people or celebrity unless it's a tv series that i like until i met BTS .. all im saying is that, they will always break boundaries because that is the meaning of their group name .. 💜💜💜💜
For me personally, I think what made me become as big of a fan as I am is the fact that they get treated this way. I’ve had artists I have liked to listen to and loved their stuff and maybe bought an album but my relationship with BTS is something I’ve never experienced before And it stemmed from feeling protective towards someone that was being bullied. And having been bullied so much in my life, I am willing to set alarms on my phone to get up and immediately start streaming or buying BTS products just to send a message to the industry and the more the industry does this More committed I become so by them acting this way in a sense. They are in advertently promoting BTS by treating them this way because I feel we live in a society today. We’re people are sick of being told what they like when it isn’t true. If the industry doesn’t get its act together and catch onto the times, they’re gonna be left behind.
Boracity Magazine always crushes! She’s amazing and she spits facts. I guess she says "allegedly" because if she makes an affirmation it can get bad for her
I support BTS! I am a Grandma Army. These young men have changed lives and changed how people view KPop. They've made so many strides in so many areas. GO BTS!!!!!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I became an ARMY at the beginning of Tear eta, so my first comeback was Answer, and IDOL was the lead track. We blew the doors off YT and set a new record at the time. The views just kept going up and up... and then, suddenly, MILLIONS OF VIEWS vanished between the time YT "froze views for verification," and by the time the "new" total went up, there were less views than when they "froze" them. We literally watched it happen before our eyes. I've watched all of the stuff in the video happen. ARMY always has and always will find a way to break the system as long as BTS exists.
Also, there is A LOT more to the ARMY vs. radio story than "no spins," but that is honestly another whole video in itself.
Boracity did a BTS vs Radio breakdown... and a BTS vs Spotify as well. Along with 'The Next BTS: Why They Fail Every Time.' A particular favorite.
YT did that to Black Swan, too, didn't they? Wretched....
It happened to me with LC.. seeing deletions before my eyes was extremely difficult and disappointing. I was so clueless about whole system and slowly got to know about it.. I feel bad for older armys who had to through it repeatedly.. but I think that’s what had them so rebellious and strong
I bet they got really scared when Big Hit announced they were thinking of opening an office in the US. If BTS' managing company does that...whoa!!!
HOLY SHOOT!... If {BigHit Entertainment} does open its doors in my hometown; the mass audience will be there! Crazy! I may too be there... To see it with my own eyes than a phone screen-
I am from Texas and over 60. I love BTS. So do my 3 grandkids.
I honestly don't know if I can consider myself as an Army since I just started adoring them this year. I was suicidal and I don't know... what... is... with... them.... but... they helped me cope up. They make me smile.
Namjoon taught me how to love myself even more.
V taught me that life is short so just enjoy it.
Yoongi taught me that its okay to fail as long as you get back up.
Jungkook taught me that its okay to be vulnerable
JHope taught me to smile again and it is a big deal for me.
Jin taught me to be confident again.
I may not have merch but I respect them. I adore them. And I will support them no matter what.
I think God send them to us to love ourself even more and to know that everything is possible if you worked hard and believe in yourself
If you love them and their music speaks to you and you support them, you are most definitely ARMY. You don’t have to have a house full of merch to be ARMY. I only have a few things and I am and always will be ARMY.
I can relate. I am a poor ARMY And I do everything I can to support them. 3 years ago I couldn't afford to buy anything so instead I streamed as much as I could and enjoyed it while I did. Now I have a little more money so I have been buying all of their albums. I just pre-ordered Jack in the Box and Layover I am soo excited about getting them. I buy what I can and I continue to stream as much as I can because they deserve so much for saving people all around the world. They are truly the greatest group of people ever to walk this earth.
You don't find BTS. They find you when you need them most. If they found you, and the helped you, you are ARMY. It's not about the merch. It's about the love and support. 💜
💜🎶⭐️Now we know that some awards are not worth winning. But BTS has WON against the odds. They have won the Hearts of the People who see them for who they Truly are. Let the industry play games with themselves, they have degraded themselves and lost the respect of the masses. We don’t need them to tell us what is worthy of honor. We can see and hear that for ourselves. We know what is REAL !!! Always Trust your heart!!!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Hello, I am 23 years old I have been a fan bts and the army since 2017. I want to say love and understand what u said that is 100% fact! I learned the hard way about it and I felt like they should take note and figure out what are next steps that way they would change it
When my friends point out the fact that the same 3 songs play on the radio all the time. I jump in with this this information. Those songs are not really #1's in any sense of the word! They, BB, recently brought back bundles for a certain industry darling. While they never explained how all of those sales were filtered. And army continues to buy even with the change of rules, because if they have their freedom, army knows that we will get amazing music from BTS.
their response and reaction to any time a bts song blowing up is 'oh they are not that good its just some people mass streaming and mass buying the albums which should not count'
Dhrumi Jhaveri •It does count, & they know it! They are just sóó jealous ánd they have underestimated them, & now they are trying to blame them! Wellsaid!
Soy mujer de 55 años que tenia varios gustos musicales y artistas. Pero desde el 2014 vi a siete chicos que llenaron realmente mis Espectativas de lo que es buena música, excelentes letras y mensajes positivos a mi mente y corazón, que realmente necesitaba. De ahí en adelante, me sumergí en ese maravilloso universo que es BTS y del cuál no quiero salir nunca. Los Amo, los admiro, los apoyo y los seguiré siempre y por siempre. ARRIBA BTS, ARRIBA ARMYS!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
It is the exact same for me. Since BTS came into my life, nothing else measures up. BTS fills my every moment😊
As a big fan of BTS, I also enjoy their solo work. However, I've noticed that many independent artists I follow aren't making it onto the charts or getting radio play. It's disappointing to see how the music industry prioritizes money over talent and integrity. Even in the UK, where I haven't heard BTS on the radio, it seems corrupt. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if anything will change.
Well well …Thank you John for sharing this …. I personally confirmed that the platforms are controlled … I was streaming a lot Set Me Free pt 2 so many times and at one point I saw that the streamings instead of going up, they were decreasing … and it happened also with Like Crazy … After BTS has been nominated for a Grammy, and never took one at home, I realized that the music industry is corrupted and they manipulate the numbers …. It’s a shame that in these days the industry is paying attention more, not even to their artists, but they recognized a type of music with lyrics that are horrible and do not give any message to the public (I have to say vulgar lyrics) I am an ARMY since 4 years ago, I am 55, and the first thing that I love from BTS is that they make MUSIC in all senses with beautiful and positive messages in all their songs … So we can say at the end that BTS doesn’t need the industry either a Grammy to show that they are amazing and make great music … they have us all the way until they will come back all together…. Aahhh .. in the meantime we have to mention that even making music as a solo artist they are wonderful …👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
i'm 31 years old, i've been a kpop fan since 2009 in our 2NE1 days and BIGBANG they set it off for me, i've followed BTS shortly after their debut and THEY ARE IT they are the real music industry better than any genre they just are the genre , they touch on subjects personal to everyone and help us , there for us. No artists do this anymore.
Billboard even get rid of the social media charts because BTS kept getting first place because army engagement online is craze so of course BTS will get number 1,like BTS beat Justin Bieber‘s recorded and than one day they decided to get rid of that chart
I hope she dropped the mic at the end of this video because omg she NAILED that!! My blood boils and my heart friggen pounds whenever I see or hear BTS being mistreated. Of all the people on this planet they deserve all the best in this world! This shows that the industry is afraid ARMY has become too powerful to keep controlling, so now they are grasping at straws. If they think enlistment will make fans move on then the industry is going to collapse to their knees when they see the force BTS and ARMY will be in 2025/26. I love that BTS has always stayed true to themselves and to their fans and have never put us aside to appease an industry.
I'm 51 years old. I became army when I heard fire for the first time. I love them. Fantastic music! Unique.
I buy every album. Sometimes I buy more than 1 copy to support BTS and to give them away to army who can't afford buying their own album 💜
BTS is ORGANIC.
Thanks
I do love BTS for a long time here from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 Im 63 yrs old. It saddens me when I see thier faces 😢 by rhe mistreaments through thier success. At least other realise thier potential (White house, UNO, ambasadors, etc.)
Cant wait until they reunite and are out military 2024. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
And funny thing, I'm subscribed to your channel and have 'all notifications' on, but I didn't get any notification about this one!
I watched this video right when it came out. All the facts stated just boiled my blood. How everything can be so corrupted?
Anyway, John thank you for another amazing video! And again big shout out to the author for creating this masterpiece summary for us.
💜💜💜
Same situation here. Subscribed, notifications on, and got absolutely nothing.
Same
Same 😢
This video certainly opens your eyes to the music industry no wonder BT S never won a Grammy which they should have done easily say no more
I really enjoy your reactions, I love how much you love the boys, as a group and individually.
Boracity is definitely a force to be reckoned with, I love that they have a receipt for everything, leaving no room for doubt or speculation. It is what it is.
About mass buying, it is Army’s money so we can spend it as we want, and if we wish to buy all the versions of the same album, How cares? It is our money.
I think it all comes down to power. BTS is able to sustain itself as a foreign act without falling into the illegal practices and the fact that the industry gets 0% of their success is the reason why they try to downplay and sabotage them. I always get really impressed with all the accolades BTS has, their success was forged through hard work, going against all odds, anger, and Army’s support. The music industry stopped caring about the music so long ago, and BTS is about the artistry in their craft, so they won't simply start buying and paying for awards and recognition to please some powerups that don't have any idea about music.
Anyway, love your channel, keep safe and I purple you 💜💜💜
This was quite enlightening. I knew already the industry hated our voys, but this is beyond the pale…😢
I don’t listen to radio anymore and haven’t in years. I only got Spotify to listen to BTS and now I wonder if I dhould even do that!! Though any points I can give them is better than none. I think they’re not only the best group out there with the best music, but the most honest, decent guys in all of music nowadays. I will buy their physucal CD’s, watch their videos, listen to their songs digitally too and go to their next concert(s) just to support them!!!! To H-E-double sticks with the music industry here and in Korea!!!!! BTS forever!!!! Borahae!!!!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thats why , ARMY are the biggest fandom in the world
We love them, and they love us 💜
I stopped listening to radio for about 2 years now. BTS for life 💜💜💜💜
Me since 1/2012 (📻)
Hey John ...Kudos to the creator!!!! Someone who created content that tells some of the REAL happenings in this "somewhat corrupt?", industry.....Over twenty years ago I worked as a traffic coordinator for a popular FM radio station. Part of my job was taking weekly calls from recording company reps with their "suggested" adds to weekly play.....of course, final decisions would be made by the Program Director, but I got to be a mission of info. I had the opportunity to experience first hand the levels of "promos" that they were willing to "gift", to promote their artists....and I was at a mediocre level of decision making. At least once a week I would receive "gifts" in the mail of various artists merch. And when they were on a major "push" for new artists, or releases...they then would do the regional in person visits. Dinners, drinks, concert tickets, and that was only at my level. Who knows the levels of compensation made for the PD, or company owners. When the movie "Dreamgirls" came out, it really portrayed the level of "palm greasing" that could make or break an artist...The decision of Prince, to become, "The Person formerly known as", Taylor Swift deciding to re-release her catalogue after her falling out with Scooter Braun (now a part of what co.🤔).....and these are just some of the highly publicized examples. I applause this person for bringing the REAL ugly truth to the forefront!!!!! Unfortunately, it won't change over nite, but the more the general consumer is aware of this ...we can only hope for some revisions to this questionable processes in the making of artists level of success.....As always John....thanks for sharing!!!!!💜
omg that´s so messed up it´s nice to hear from a real source
Personally?
I think Taylor Swift wasn't quiet as angry as she pretended: she got a lot of reputation/clout for making big waves with that "fight" and the rerelease of her music is genius: easy number 1s and promo also for her new music.
I admire her for that. She has played the industry well and I think Scooter Braun has learned a lesson - mind you that was about money for him in the first place but he did loose rep because of it.
And I'm told she is very intelligent so I think it does work out. I wish her luck - but she is definetly playing the industry game and plays it well.
@@lealarsen2017 hey lea....thanks from another ll....Laurie Larsen.....where are you from?
Nobody is like our 7 normal boys from South Korea!
BTS это феномен, это чудо, они прямое творение бога, дар этому миру!
Эти парни - свет, любовь, бескорыстность и теплота! Ум и нескончаемый талант!
Таких никогда не было и больше не будет! Неповторимы! Незабываемы!
Они как источник жизни и энергии для нас АРМИ!!!
Они утоляют боль и дарят радость одним своим присутствием!
Я благодарна что живу в одно время с ними!
Я благодарна богу за то что он послал их нам!
Я надеюсь что эти прекрасные мальчики будут ещё долго состоять как группа, они сильнее всего когда все вместе!
Им так трудно, но этот мир нуждается в них!
Но важнее всего для меня, пусть они будут счастливы и здоровы, обретут покой и счастье и в личной жизни и пусть все беды и недостойные их люди просто пройдут мимо них!!!
OT7 forever and ever 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

I'm an older Army. I grew up on Michael Jackson and Prince, but also listened to the great music my parents listened to (i.e., Commodores, earth wind & fire, etc). I've been listening to BTS for a long time because of their discography. The variety of their songs, the message just makes you want to hear more. Heck, you know the music is great when you'll listen to it in a different language. Before I started listening to BTS, I had stopped buying music because I could listen to sub-par music for free. Long since stopped watching the awards shows because they were tired and no one I thought worthy ever won. Like music from back in the day, I can listen and will listen to BTS over and over. Hell, I think I could singlehandedly keep Jimin's Face on the charts because it's in rotation every day over here. It's just a shame that the very things BTS sing about (love yourself, inclusiveness, bringing everybody up) are the very things the American/Korean market try to tear down because they do it on their own terms. THIS video is spitting facts, and I hope people are listening because we need a change. I'd rather be part of a fandom, the a puppet of the music industry spoon feeding me what im supposed to like. I hate we don't hear BTS on the radio. Billboards wants us to believe BTS isn't being played because Americans don't want to hear them, but that's just nuts because we're buying, streaming, and downloading the hell out of the music. ARMY , let's keep doing what we need to to keep the best music this decade from becoming a footnote in music history. Thanks for reacting to this awesome video.
Fighting
J Hope brought me in this summer, but like you, the discography is blowing me away! My son is on his honeymoon in France and I had been telling him about how they based-I think-I’m still learning-the BU on Hermann Hesse’s Demian. My son sent me a picture of a bookstore in Paris with a huge pile of paperback copies of Demian by Hermann Hesse. The dots are connecting even for him and he’s not listening to the music yet!
@@midkiffminor love the synchronicity
Wow! Im glad you said what you said!!8 feel the same, I also feel so sad for other people who haven’t heard them or won’t listen. This is really good music and I also feel that all the flavors of their albums. Just tons of different kinds of songs and all of them
Are GREAT!!💜
@@midkiffminor oh hey! You're a j-hope on the street baby? Welcome!
You just wait until you dig into the Jungian stuff with the Map of the Soul era! That goes some interesting places - Singin' in the Rain, The Wizard of Oz, the hubris of Icarus - yet keeps roots deep in Korean culture.
Also, this comment stream is soul food!! So proud of the diverse, intelligent tribe of viewers here supporting
John I've heard this before not the entire, through some of my research I love ❤ BTS their music and dance, I've ponder the idea of writing to HYBE on what place is safe and sure to purchase BTS music, it's a conspiracy, racist, unjust whatever term u use, these young men are extraordinary hard working, 💜 and after the military I predict they will blow the industry away, I ❤ them💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
The matrix is falling and BTS will survive on top. They are true ambassadors for Humanity. ❤
Jimin’s Like Crazy English version is played on the radio a few times. Wish they would play it more. It sucks how they don’t get the recognition they deserve and how the music industry is so corrupt and racist. It’s just a shame
I have to say, here in Venezuela EVERY NIGHT at 9pm or 10pm you'll hear Jiminshi's Like Crazy on the radio since it came out, still does today
Our World Wide Handsome Jin, he wanted a song to sing for Army. Coldplay had it. Our Jin, flew to South America to meet them. His whole video has Army or/and his members throughout the whole video. He wanted to show his love for Army and of course, his members. That song is awesome! Our Sunshine, Hobi, his song he put out before he had to go in the military, was for Army. Our 7 normal boys from Korea, our BTS, put Army first. When they win Awards, they have won many! When the award is presented to our 7, the very first word from all of them is "ARMY!" There was never a group like BTS, ever. There will never be another group like them. Our 7 are kind, respectful, humble. Not only are they singers, dancers, they are all comedians! I think the words I hold on to the most is from our TaeTae. At one concert, our TaeTae got one his microphone . He called out to Army. " I have something to say! Army! You belong to us! You are ours!" TaeTae knows. And we will wait for them to come back to us. They work hard to make great music for Army. There is new Army everyday! Our Sweet Suga tells new Army never feel bad if you weren't with us from the beginning. The day you found us, is the day we debuted for you." Army tells new Army, " Never feel bad for being new. BTS is there when you need them. So true for so many Army. I am 65. I liked Phil Collins, Michael Jackson, disco, music from the 80's and 90's. I love BTS.
ARMY supports BTS regardless of what the music industry does. The more they hate, the stronger we get
Wow oh wow!!! I was wondering why I didn’t hear some of these songs. So glad this is shown and told to us. BTS kick their butts!!! I love your music, happy when I listen to or see your videos. Winners to me.
Thanks for having this reaction. I have been wondering what is happening. I have been hearing things, too.
I have also been wondering how some of these songs made it to the top. Now I know. Lol.
BTS forever. A 70 year old fan.
I have noticed that in the UK the only way I can listen to BTS is on utube or Spotify so I have noticed the bias.
I used to listen to radio a lot in my 63 years but accidentally stumbled on BTS and my life has been happier for it ever since. I do take some stick as I have been a motorcycle rider since 1978 but I do not care they are talented and that’s it - fact - love to all supporters regardless of ‘the system’
Teresa 🇬🇧
I'm 60 years old and I will support BTS because they deserve our support. I am in the Army and will support them all the way.
Did anyone get a notification for this video? I didn't and I always get them. Hmmmmm... This was a good explanation of the industry's agenda. Thanks, John, for sharing this so people know what's happening. I'm going to go scream now. 💜👀
Same, Borahae 😪💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🇧🇷
This video brings tears to my eyes. I’m 66 and ARMY since their debut. I’ve been really annoyed with the unfair treatment. This is just heartbreaking.
I am 75 and I will also support BTS always their music and videos are great
This really makes me sick, and mad, how unfair BTS are treated from all sides😤 its ridiculous!! Its super frustrating!!
But still, I won't give up!! BTS only have ARMY! I will stay here to do my very best!
I have only been Army since 2018 so I can just imaging how frustrating this " sabotaging BTS by the music industry " must be for veteran Army 😢 and still they didn't give up! They never give up, no matter what rule change BB and snake tube or spot the fly keep coming up with. Our veteran Army are super smart! They studie the rules, over and over, then they inform us and we do our best, fighting hard to support BTS on every new release, and in between 😊💜 just trying to give back a little because they give us so much 🥹💜🙏
All my love and respect to veteran Army and to all Army who are tirelessly fighting for Bangtan and never giving up, staying here to support, love, respect and protect OT7 Bangtan together forever 💜 APOBANGPO borahae
Greetings from Austria lovely Army family 💜
Very sad what is happening. BTS.......they are everything we need. I heard them and though I listen to other music still, BTS IS IN MY HEART AND MY HEAD. I am a 61 YO ARMY and will never stop. Their music and lyrics tells a great story that impacts us all if we listen. They have done things in the WORLD that so many haven't. Even in the solo realm they are achieving and show support to each other. 2025 will be unstoppable when they come back together. ♾️💜💜💜💜💜💜💜❤️💕ARMY💜BTS. #Forever7 #hatershate #ARMYSUPPORT
That's right I am 62 years old and a devoted ARMY , I have been a army since 2018, and I will tell you what ,when they were nominated for the first Grammy, I knew they would win, I was so disappointed that they didn't because they truly deserve it all the way, but unfortunately we do have alot of corruption in the music industry and this video this person told them off, yeah baby. I'm glad because those people who are the musical industry are corrupt. BTS is a jewel, I am pride and honored to be one of there fans and support them 💯 with the Army Fandom, because they are real..that's why.what they have done I have not seen not 1 American singer do what they have done.and I am a American that's pretty sad. They have done more global around the world. I don't care what an6body says BTS is and will always be my number 1 kpop artist group of the world..
Thank you for sharing your insider knowledge about the music industry - didn't even know this was happening. Boracity's mini-docus are opening my awareness of what's going on in the industry. By the way, John, your channel is featured in the latest video from Boracity.
Thank you John for this video. Please publicise it more. No matter what BTS STAYS ON TOP. Good day to you John.
It would be cool & scary to see these Boracity essays show up on television, so that more of the "general public" gets to see what is going on. Perhaps start somewhere like PBS Frontline (in the US), which is a documentary-style show mainly watched by highly-critical thinkers, especially because it's on PBS. I've watched them as well, over the decades. Some of the general public may become intrigued, some will get confused & the rest would be apathetic, firstly because they may not know who BTS is. But it is the first group, the "intrigued", that may become more curious about BTS, as well as curious of the music industry (western) that has been fooling them for decades. Of course, Boracity would have to design her essays to be a bit more understandable to the public, as well as giving enough subject to extend to an hour show. Anyway, I would like John to continue more reactions of Boracity's videos, because her videos are very relevant in understanding why things are not always what they seem to be. Boracity is one case of someone "sticking it up to the man". And with receipts.
BTS are talented, smart, handsome, with so much love for us the army. Fine young man making songs anyone can listen without sensors.
The only artist I hv ever supported and will forever do is BTS. What the US industry isn't getting is tht BTS song is very different, is not the normal US song which is always abt sex, money, alcohol, drugs, sexy body, etc. BTS songs are positive,pure,etc. Is a breath of freshness and they are so humble, respectful, down to earth and they really and genuinely love and appreciate their fans.
Right now I think South Korean and US labels are working together to push Kpop artists signed to the US labels over the last couple of years. Cutting BTS’s visibility is probably one way they believe will drive ARMYs to support their other artists. These labels are always underestimating the fandom. As long as ARMYs keep showing up at concerts, in theaters, buying music and merch, BTS will continue to thrive. Even while on “hiatus”💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
When their military service is over, you will find out that so is their number one spot. They are already overshadowed by other artists. This is the life cycle of artists. Their fans grow older, and they grow older, and there is no such thing as ARMY's saving the day for decades to come. Not gonna happen.
@@connie7128 Strange that many of the top global artist’s careers span decades isn’t it? Funny how BTS are also gaining fans 10 years into their career. Almost as if they’ve been well established, mainstream artists for years now. Artists that aren’t well established, (without a dedicated fandom, padding their album sales with paid streams or 10+ album versions and little cultural impact) are easily forgotten🫰💜
@@connie7128 strange.. you are so right and that will be reason for their long term success.. fans grow older with them .. ‘together’.. that’s the biggest dream of any artist that few get to experience .. army is loyal fanbase .. as long as they produce good music in future , fans are there to stay and enjoy it till their last breath 😂.. it can two ways in future… also bts attracts fans from all age groups from 80+ young who adore them to teens who get motivated with their passion and idolize them.. So Fanbase continues to attracts much younger teens to this day and in future too.. only caveat is quality of music .. which I doubt will decrease any time soon, apobangpo
Hmm~... I am planning to buy their collection album (PROOF) by [BTS] next week-
I mean I don't know but only [BTS] can take my money! And call me their (ATMs) just like how [Woozi] phrased to (CARAT)-
@@tutorerthing don't forget the preteens that are now their fans will become Armies of the future. BTS are legends and everyone knows legends do not die only become stronger🌹💜
Thank you Thank you !!!!!! ur so brave it’s about time for revealing the truth/facts 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 but whatever happens we are still the number one fandom BTS forever
This video hit the mail on the head! So true. I also learned so much about the music industry. She really said it like it is. I’m 52. Been Army for 4 years. Listen to them every day and follow most things they do. I’ve never done that for any other American group. Run BTS Run!!! 💜💜💜
I’ve been following bts for years. I admire their intelligence and originality and honesty. I knew for a long time they manipulated the charts. My solution was get the CD and play it myself. Personally I love that another free country is making millions on their own music. If we love democracy and free countries we should support them.
Army will be behind them for ever. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Surely the original purpose of those charts was to count sales as an indication of popularity and success. If the public wont spend their money then there is no evidence of success.
Thank you Boreacity for making this documentary.
I cant believe the age group of die-hard fans of BTS, but i ENJOYED their music over the years. my 68yr old sister is a die-hard fan like crazy as, and I am hoping to take her to SK for a BTS concert, I cant believe if tickets went on sale now 3 front rows would be ours.
Yes and I am an American 65 year old and BTS is where it's at. I can't even listen to any other K-pop group because I am a loyal Army!!!
You know what's funny?
SO MANY YEARS before getting to know BTS or caring about music charts I already had a sense of how the music industry is pushing music they want us to listen to.
Annoying songs sounding all the same, same lyrics, same words repeating every chorus, same beats, zero concepts, zero soul, zero content, playing over and over until
it's stuck on our heads, so they release next song and we forget forever about the previous hit in just one month!
For some reason, as I was felling that but not being able to explain it as a kid, I avoid listening these music -that were not even that good- but kept playing incessantly on radio and channels like mtv, so I tried to listen to independent artists from my country (brazil, and I found out so many talented artists)and old hit songs(i'm obsessed with the 80's music and i'm also the biggest pink floyd fan) that could really feed my soul and make their mark at some moment of my life.
Right now Im thankful for discovering about BTS but so angry about the sick capitalist music industry that sabotage them because they dont make a profit out of them. My boys are so talented and hard working, they deserve so much better. I dont know if they are aware of this corruption. I dont know if I want them to know about this. I just want them for making music as a passion as they always did, and trust army that we will keep here for them so many years ahead! apobangpo
And then the music industry has the gall to blame it on the listeners. 'We can't make these long 3 minute songs, people don't have the attention span to listen to that!' 'We can't use high-school and college-level vocabulary, listeners don't want to have to go look words up! Use basic terms!' 'Listeners don't want complex ideas or imagery! Keep it as simple as possible!' 'Don't make a full chorus, just use the sentence- better yet, use a phrase. And use it for the hook. Just repeat it, repetition is what people want to hear, it's catchy!'
All that, and it would never dawn on them that the reason people don't buy this dumbed-down, predictable, repetitious music is because it. Is. BORING. And they cannot comprehend why ARMY's over here listening to 3-4:30 long songs translated from Korean, with out of this world wordplay, vivid imagery and layers of meaning. So they dismiss it as a fad, and retro music as nostalgia, and keep grinding out the boring gunk. And whining about how nobody appreciates 'popular' music anymore.
@@ystrw wow you so said it! I completely agree with you. This has been going on for so many years to non-american artists with non-american labels. They made us think that fandom behavior its not a merit of the artist, when its the completely opposite!!! If a artist has fans, it means many people really love and identify with the artist and their music.
Right now i understand this sick music industry like I never did before. Like Crazy could have been so much bigger. We still dont have a US real hit song five months into 2023. Like Crazy had everyhting to dominate america. They literally sabotage the song. honestly... Thats why I do my best to support them. They were never treated by this industry like the true artist they all are. Streaming and buying their songs maybe its the only thing we can do as a fans to support them since they have to work in this sick environment...
