1. [+1,713, -41] More than anything, I think a lot of their popularity has to do with their genuine love for music and the constant effort they put into achieving things on their own. I continue to look forward to more great music from them! BTS fighting!!

2. [+1,748, -69] Considering all the amazing things that they have achieved, there's nothing cocky about these boys. They still feel like the humble boys next door. Imagine being the ones to achieve putting a Korean song up on the Billboard 100 (song), 200 (album), and UK 100 (album)... it's a miracle.

3. [+1,287, -32] They truly are an international K-Pop sensation~!!!!

4. [+1,196, -31] Passion is the word best used to describe them!!!

5. [+1,128, -31] Only possible because it's BTS!!! So proud to be an Army ㅜㅜㅜ

6. [+340, -17] Our country has a tendency to ignore groups from smaller agencies. They would rather put the spotlight on lesser talented groups from bigger agencies and put groups from bigger agencies above everyone else. It's just how our music market is geared. Foreign markets like America, however, recognize talent first and that's why BTS is being acknowledged. There are Koreans who don't know who BTS is but there are Americans who are male fans of BTS and copy their clothes and sing their songs. BTS is a lot more popular in America than we could imagine and they're truly helping to spread Korean culture.

7. [+277, -8] This type of news might come as a surprise to people unfamiliar with the group but they've been quietly building up their skills and expressing themselves through music while gaining fans along the way. They have an incredible diversity of songs that are with the trends and their lyrics are very honest and genuine.

8. [+265, -10] There's no end to all that they can achieve because they are the ones paving their own path. While they have been hard at working paving their future, us fans have been the ones following right behind them. We are following their music! Whether their path leads to glory or obstacles, an oasis or a wave of water, nobody knows but we're happy just being able to walk it with them, and we'll do so forever.
