It's surprising how many people suddenly become blindly pro-Western just to criticize BTS whenever the Billboard rankings come out. If hey want to hate them that badly... It's honestly kind of pitiful. 2. Fans who like pop music probably know that BTS's achievements are honestly on another level. BTS are just top-tier even among the world's top artists, both in terms of performance and fandom size. 3.

Beyond top-tier performances and a packed media schedule, the group has also won hearts with candid behind-the-scenes, revealing many previously unseen sides of themselves.  Among them, the talk show EPIKASE, featuring Epik High alongside RM and Suga, quickly became one of the most beloved pieces of content of the day. Not only did it offer a light-hearted and humorous atmosphere, but it also included intriguing revelations and thoughtful discussions about music, life, and friendship.  For instance, when asked about their time at a songwriting camp in Los Angeles, RM recalled a humorous conflict between the members: "We fought. We were drinking at night, and I said, 'Let's tidy up the place. Then Jimin said, 'Hyung, shouldn't you not talk to Taehyung like that?' and that's how i...
