SEVEN THINGS TO BE ADMIRED ABOUT BTS

(Not related to my fujoshi's life, but I just want to share my honest opinion about my ultimate bias Kpop group, Bangtan Sonyeondan or BTS)


BTS is probably one of the most popular Korean boyband not only in Asia but also in different continents after their remarkable music and performances. They are also the first Kpop group who performed in a prestigious American Music Awards which all the well-known artists in music industry were gathered. Moreover, they won the Top Social Artist 2017 in Billboard Music Award, another renowned music award-giving body in the music world. Not only that, BTS' songs also topped in various charts as they pave their name to the top of the this industry.

However, more than the awards, prizes, and sales they have accumulated since their debut, there are Seven Things to be Admired about this spectacular group:

7. SENSE OF HUMOR


Personally, every time I heard the word 'Idol,' it's all about handsome men who will make you fall in love with their loving smiles and fine gestures. They are like the prince charming in fairy tales...

Well, BTS members are princes. They can make your knees turn into jello with their enthralling voices, scorching gazes and exciting dance moves whenever they're on stage...

But off stage, they're a bunch of dorky boys.

Seriously, I still couldn't comprehend how these boys' characters turn a complete 180 degrees every after their lit up performances.

The badass rappers: Suga, RM, and J-Hope, become aegyos with their antics and bright smiles.

Meanwhile, the sexy vocals: Jin, Jimin, V, Jeongkook, become adorable puppies with their cute posts and silliness. 
BTS isn't afraid of looking funny despite being idols. Plus their witty remarks and acts that will make anyone giggles a lot. 


6. FEARLESSNESS


Technically, each member has something they are afraid of. But when it comes with their music, they are fearless.

If BTS just wanted fame, they would just write songs based on what everybody wants to hear. Some music full of jam, yet senseless. Music that can make the people groove along, but not to think about.

BTS' music isn't and will never be like that.

Yes, it is indeed that their songs have lively melody, accompanied by amazing dance choreography... But these songs also tackle various social issues which, sometimes, are being set aside or avoided. 


In my opinion, DNA has subtlety discussed one of the highly debated issues nowadays - LGBT Community. 


Recently, the LGBT community has finally been finding its voice to speak out. Unfortunately, there are still some people who wouldn't and couldn't accept it no matter how the world changes because of different reasons. Culture-engraved is one of it.

It's interesting how BTS shows their perspective regarding love which isn't a coincidence since  DNA wants you from the very beginning. Meaning, a person will love and be loved regarding of gender, race, age, and etc. In addition, the rainbow set is hinting us of their support for LGBT. 

Anyway, RM, the leader and one of the composers, is known to advocate the said community.

In other words, BTS is fearless to use their music to raise awareness about various issues. As what Min Suga said in latest vlog, (not verbatim) there is something more important than sales, charts, and awards. 

5. PASSION


Aside from passionately sleeping and lying down, Suga is one of the members who so passionate in making music. It's not a secret to everyone the hardship he has undergone to pursue his music career. Although his parents strongly disapproved it. He strongly held onto his dreams.

It's the same with all the members. Since their group has come from a small company, a lot had told them, they wouldn't survive the savage world of show business. Just like the tag line of Project Runway, "One day you're in, the next day you're out." There were some people who looked down at them. 

However, it's their passion for music which drives them to continue with their work, albeit it might starve them to death. 

Let's be honest, in today's generation, who else will leave everything, who will go against the direction of majority just to pursue his own desire in spite of all the uncertainties? 

In the recent revelation of Jin's family background, it is said that he's actually a son of a well-known CEO in SoKor. In other words, he could live a comfortable life even without working too hard. But, he chose the latter. He chose to stay living his passion for music despite all the hardships. 

That's how passionate they are with their chosen field, and they want to share it with everyone. They are so in love with their music as much as we do.

4. DETERMINATION AND WILL


BTS debuted four years ago. However, the group was formed back in 2010. They just couldn't make their first appearance because of the constant change in members. In original line up, RM was the maknae. But it changed when all his hyungs left. There were some who told him to give it up because it seemed to be a fruitless pursuit. Yet, RM never gave up. He never let go of his dream that one day, the group he's belonged to would make a debut. 

Until they did. 

But it wasn't the end because, again, a lot had predicted their failure since they came from a small company unlike the other Kpop groups. 

Nonetheless, instead of wallowing over those harsh words, they used it to create and deliver excellent music. They were determined to prove their strengths and capabilities. They would rise despite all the hates and cruel criticisms. They used the stones being thrown at them to build a magnificent castle.

The more the others put them down, the more they will climb up high.

Through their will and determination, once a dream, is now becoming a reality.



3. HUMILITY


Usually, when a person has achieved so much in his/her life, there's a tendency for that person to brag it to everyone. To be arrogant because s/he thinks s/he becomes superior than the others. 

Well, we could say that BTS has achieved a lot. 

From being an underdog, they are now on top. Despite it, they remain who they are since their first day. If there is something that has changed about them, it's their hair color (XD). Kidding aside, they become more mature and widen their perspective which is a must to compose more better music. 

Regardless of it, no matter how high they have flown, their feet are still on the ground. They never forget to mutter their sincerest gratitude to all the people who make it possible for them to reach their goals and dreams. And they want to return all the support by creating spectacular songs.

Their humility is one of the things which makes them loved by ARMY's.



2. FAMILY


7 different boys from different places with different orientations, personalities, and experiences have been bound together through music. They have become each other's support during their ups and downs, and protectors from cruel eyes of haters.

Moreover, it isn't only about the members, but also to the whole company who gave them an opportunity to meet one another. It is always shown through their actions, and words aren't enough to describe how strong their relationships are. 

Even to the official fandom, ARMY. BTS considers everyone as part of their big happy family which can always be felt, that's why ARMY will never get tired of supporting them.



The bond they have with everyone is something that cannot be easily torn apart.

1. BTS BEING BTS

True, honest, cry babies, and sincere. What else could I say?
I think everyone has this so called feeling when someone is just being showbiz. We could easily tell it no matter how good that person is in acting.

And with BTS, it can never be felt.

Watch their videos for you to decide...



All the experiences they have are what made them who they are. The vulnerabilities they show are their greatest strengths... They are one of the few artist who would rather be loved for who they are than what they are not.



Hence, let's continue to show our undying support to this wonderful group as they deserve all the best in the world.



It's actually my first time to like a Kpop group...

and I'm proud that it's Bangtan Sonyeondan.

++++++++

P.S. Because I'm Suga's trash...he he he XD
