1. [+1,380, -23] They truly are a national treasure

2. [+807, -23] It has reached a point where BTS winning #1 on the Billboard is just something to be expected. But I know that not every achievement is guaranteed so I'm still touched by the hard work they put into it.

3. [+209, -16] BTS continues to write history, I'm so proud of them 💜💜💜

4. [+185, -63] So why aren't they given military exemptions yet

5. [+54, -0] I felt so surprised to hear Korean lyrics~~ my favorites Coldplay and BTS all in one song~~ so good so good~

6. [+47, -3] I remember when 'orientalism' became popular in the west, it was usually Japanese media. Now Korea is leading Asian culture around the globe. Our politics may have some work but our culture makes me proud.

7. [+44, -3] K-Culture is truly leading the world right now

8. [+29, -0] BTS and 'Squid Game' are really healing the hearts of so many exhausted Koreans right now

9. [+16, -1] Don't forget Son Heung Min and Hwang Hee Chan who made it in this week's best 11 in the premier league

10. [+15, -3] This has nothing to do with a Korean craze'. They just like this particular group and this particular show. If you go to the US and ask any American what they think of Korea, they're not going to say anything special about it. They just see us as another Asian country.
