Netizens say no other group is comparable to BTS when it comes to international popularity

AKP STAFF

Netizens are saying no other group is comparable to BTS when it comes to international popularity. 

On October 15th, a post showing how BTS is the most streamed K-Pop artist on Spotify landed on a trending page of a popular online community. The original post says BLACKPINK is streamed more than all the other female artists combined but even BLACKPINK isn't comparable to BTS. 

Netizens commented: "BTS is the only group that is famous internationally in the first place. When you're in the states and if you hear a K-pop song 90% of the time it's going to be a BTS song." 

"I cackle every time I see someone claiming a nugu boy group surpassed BTS."

"You have to give it to BTS. They are undoubtedly the top group."

"I'm more intrigued how SUGA has his own share lol"

What do you think?

blinks always try to debase international success to solely the amount of views so that their faves can 'compete' with bts to give the impression that their on the same level lol. when in fact army is at least 4x bigger than blinks worldwide and at least 2x more armys solely in asia. bp views on youtube and spotify come from thailand streams cafe farms, are fake as fuck and the amount of subs they have on youtube proves it, its the biggest scam in the music industry right now and everybody knows it and this is reflected in the album sales and awards they get and the unanimous association KPOP=BTS by western general public. bp has been on hiatus for 2 years and they only get 2M pre orders (which by btw are not actual sales) when a bunch of other kpop groups like for instance stray kidz seventeen and nct have done it more than once recently without selling their albums for 5$ and without two years of raising funds for an album as blackpink did lol. bts mots7 is a 5 million seller lol the superiority of bts is huge there's no one like bts, not in the whole world let alone in korea hahah and suggesting otherwise is ludicrous.

I thought this was common knowledge. I mean BTS have never left the top 10 Spotify global daily artist list. Their streams are on par with mainstream western artists. Let’s be honest there most likely will never be another Korean artist as successful and popular as BTS. Anyone who says otherwise is just fooling themselves or believing in media play.
