i feel like non-koreans listen to k-pop more than the actual koreans do hahaha

That girl talking about them winning a Grammy and their acceptance speech is actually time traveling and forgot she was a year behind..its okay we'll act surprised!!

They didn't know that BTS isn't just simply 'popular' globally. They are the biggest boyband today.

I feel proud that at least RM is getting some recognition for his UN speech. His being the leader and fluent in English is a major factor of what draws in international fans.

"In Korea, nobody really knew about BTS before but now, their image has changed and people think BTS = Number 1. And now it's a group that no one would dare to mess around." _-Airpods guy_

We stan that guy who said it's awkward to be proud of them when he did nothing to help lol. That's a very mature stance!

The first guy with red jacket who they interviewed is so handsome.

the guy with glasses is so well spoken, he really made everyone feel appreaciated for their work, i loved his answers

"Because I didnt actually help them achieve anything, I cant say I'm proud of them, but I could say they're incredible." I like the guy with glasses.

*"In the end, aren't all hardworking people great people in their own life."* Dude with the red hoodie is the MVP. He had such interesting thoughts on so many things, not just BTS.

Koreans are just like any other people in any countries. They are busy with their work, life, and whatever daily agenda they have to deal with. K-pop is just a part of their many sources of entertainment and everyone has different taste in music just like in any other countries. Also the definition of K-pop abroad and that of Korea is different. In Korea, K-pop represents all pop music from Korea. There are so many different musicians and artists in Korea doing pop music. There are a lot of different Kpop music to choose from in Korea. Kpop fans abroad tend to think Kpop is equal to idol (boyband or gildband) music. You guys just dont know how many different singers, singersongwriters, and musicians exist in Korea. It is like there are 1,000 different types of menues to choose from in Korea but K-pop fans abroad think there is only a few menues exist in Korea. BTS is very famous in Korea for being famous abroad but they are only a part of this huge & diverse Kpop music industry. There are so many indie musicians, band musicians, solo artists, and many musicians in Korea, not just idol bands. Korean adults have a lot of options to choose from and normally they dont listen to idol music in general. Idol (boyband or girlband) music is mostly consumed by teenagers and people in their early to mid 20s in Korea. Korean adults tend to listen to other Korean artists depending on their taste in music. Also there are hundreds of idol bands debuting weekly, so they cant really differentiate who is who. What I am saying is that there are many singers, singersongwriters, bands, and musicians both in the mainstream and indie scene in Korea besides boybands or girlbands. So obviously, the public attention cant be paid only to one group.

That's so funny! I am a 56 year old woman from the US and I love BTS. They are my favorite group now. Their music is catchy, has great meaning, emotional and is very relatable. I don't go a day without listening to their music.

"I haven't noticed a change because I'm at home all the time." Some things surpass language and races, because I could relate to that on a spiritual level.

the guy in the glasses with the red hoodie so eloquent and thoughtful. His answers really got to the heart of things :)

the guy in the red jacket is so handsome.

The guy with glasses and how he talked about personalities and individuality is so good. Such a mature and open minded opinion.

This was fun to watch. I wish someone would do this to me, but I’d probably never stop talking

The round glasses guy is such a ball of optimism. He never want to place someone on a pedestal but recognized their contributions. His answers were never offensive at all, he had been realistic and respectful ~

yessss RM! I love how they mentioned his speech at the UN and the fact that he is fluent in english plus his leadership

Jimin "Oh tell me" : Man in video: "What lyric comes next?" Me: *OH YH OH YH, AH YH AH YH*

"Their speech at the UN was very impressive ... The man who gave the speech seemed to be very fluent in English. He was very cool. It had alot of meaning as well." *JOON STANS, WHERE YOU AT?* 😏💜

The guy with glasses is very thoughtful and logical. I like his style. He seems like a very considerate and conscientious person. Props to him

The guy that said "people know only of BTS not really south korea" is somehow correct, we got interested in the country after stanning the boys and learning about their culture, that's why we say "BTS paved the way"

The fact that we non Korean speakers are listening to the music should be impressive in it's own right. The guy that said that knowing BTS is not knowing Korea is right, however, it sparks curiosity. For me, it made me want to learn more about Korean culture. I'm a U.S. citizen but my curiosity in the music, sparked an interest in the language and culture and makes me love and respect Korean culture and it's people. I now enjoy the K dramas, the art, the family, and I am currently working on learning the Korean language with the ultimate goal of one day going to visit myself. So while knowing BTS may not be knowing Korea, it is definitely helping for people to want to know Korea.

First guy: "I've never listened to their songs": Presenter: "Ok lemme see if u know the next part of these lyrics" ....

I really liked what the guy in glasses had to say, he seemed very insightful and like someone you could have a good conversation with

Seeing these people, who arent fans and arent really familiar with them, makes me happy. When they talked about how amazing they are, despite not fully knowing them, makes me really proud as a fan. We get a lot of dirt thrown on our name. Seeing regular everyday people say these things... it is refreshing and I teared up because I was so so happy. Our hardwork really paid off.

The man with the round glasses is the salt of the earth. He doesn't give out superficial praise.

Although BTS is Korean, they've had a huge impact on me as a non-Korean. I am Thai but I live in Sweden. Growing up, I never had any interest in Asian culture at all, not even my own. I didn't have more than 3 Asian friends, and none of us were interested in anything that was related to our parents' home countries. At 18, I stumbled upon BTS and instantly fell in love. That led to me exploring Korean culture, which later led to me wanting to explore my own culture more. I went from identifying as an Asian only because of my looks to now identifying as an Asian because of my looks and my heart. I'm very happy that I came to embrace my Asian culture and my Asian roots as a 23-year-old because I would've regretted not doing it sooner. It all began with BTS, and I have to thank them.

“I don’t really listen to music” *Has AirPods in his ears*

OMG I loved how the guy with glasses express himself, really good thinking! I wish more ppl had his mind Hahaha

I wish those questions came in my exams

I really enjoyed this. Even though not everyone knows everything about bts they’ve at least heard of them. Kind of like here in the states where Billie Eilish is big but not everyone knows her songs or knows her personality. Also all the main stream artists are known by name but not all are known for their music and art.

The first guy is so attractive but he is clueless 😅 and that was cute

The guy with glasses is really good in answering the questions

I just love the "BTS is the most well known Korean Artists in the world PERIOD." and they deserve it.

"...now it's (BTS) a group that no one would dare to mess around with" finally finally someone said this, talk about the past...

I got interested in Korean culture bc of BTS. I now have watched many kdramas, Korean variety shows, Korean movies and appreciate Korean culture. Even picked up basic Korean words and phrases. I knew nothing about Korea before Bts.

"And now it's a group that no one would dare to mess around with". Bruhhhh i'm totally agree with you😎

4:33 I was exactly like this girl, wondering why they're so famous, I saw them on a small stage when they came to France back in 2018 but I did not listen. It's at the beginning of the year that I decided to learn more about them after seeing the Carpool Karaoke. And that's when I fell into the rabbit hole. Their lyrics, their passion, their love for art and music, their personalities, love for each other and their fans, their commitment and so much more are why they are who they are today. They are all younger than me but are teaching me so much. They're really like healers, giving comfort to a lot of ppl around the world including me so thank you BTS.

I actually search the names mentioned by those koreans, and damn they rank bts along with national artist and athletes. Well thank you for this. I think some of koreans are not really focused on kpop groups themselves and i understand that like the way some countries are not really into their artists and musics. Well we do all have different perspectives and taste we just have to respect individualities point of view. Edit: thank you for the likes :)

I feel like non-koreans appreciate BTS more than the actual koreans do:))that’ s a fact😂

"RM is very good at being in charge and taking leadership" That's literally so true

I love how each interviewee was clearly and consciously respectful in their responses. The responses were respectful to nonchosen groups’ or individuals’ talent/contributions. What a beautiful way to communicate! As an American, Westerner, I would have just answered and boasted about my opinion.

I liked the thoughts of the man with glasses he is insightful with having only little knowledge of k-pop

As an Army, im not bitter or angry at all even when they didnt know the lyrics.. U cant just assume every Korean knows BTS song just because they're a big name now. Life is more than just music. There's a lot more people dealing with things that are different than us.. But i love that they know about BTS and shows effort for this.

I really like how thoughtful and fair these people were that you interviewed. Thank you!

This interview is an eye-opener for me in terms of BTS popularity in Korea.

I'm 31 years old from India (Manipur) in my state there's BTS fan club, though I'm not a member of it because of my hectic schedule I'm a mother and a Accountant. I love BTS I'm OT7 love all of them equally, their song's lyrics always make me smile,happy, realise etc...etc...💜 One day when this corona ends I'll go to SK with my daughter to see BTS's concert. Borahae BTS 💜

The wise man on round glasses. And the guy on black coat reminds me of Goblin. He has beautiful mind as well.

To be honest, I started to learn more about Korea after knowing BTS...... I AM ACTUALLY NOW LEARNING KOREAN and wish to visit SEOUL , KOREA......... and hope to see bts in person

Koreans have so many groups to hear off and very importantly they will understand korean nd we army's can understand wt our boys are trying apart from language barrier we go deeper in the lines also make up theories at times... Aish i sometimes feel happy I found them from far nd not as Korean... It has really different feel nd enjoyment to enjoy nd stick on only to our boys

I have notice that FIRE was literally a BIG HIT in Korea! (Pun intended)

11:19 Foreigners actually started wanting to learn about the language, culture and even wants to visit Korea. Even though its influence is BTS .

These were refreshingly eye-opening interviews. Our world is so intricate... BTS blowing up globally, yet some people in Korea don't even know all the members' names. It's nice to be reminded that existence never circles around any single topic. Life goes on.

I loved this! Great questions and answers👍🏼

Who else clicked this video because of this guy on the cover ？！？！

The gentleman with the glasses is so intelligent...I could listen to him respond to questions about arts, culture of social topics all day! I really appreciated his wise answers.🌼💖👏

Love the different insights presented by the people interviewed.

I like what the guy in glasses said that everyone is great in their own way. BTS might be popular and great but everyone can be in their own individual way be great as they diligently do whatever they are capable of. Perfectly said.

Danny: * sneezed * David: corona?? i never laugh so hard on any dkdktv videos more than this

the cute guy in 13:55 saying "aren't all people hardworking and great?" i loved that, he's awesome // i loved that interview! brought me a different vision from what i've thought til now.

Soy de Guatemala y estoy viendo su video, ahí se pueden dar cuenta de lo inmenso que es BTS, porque por ellos los estoy viendo a ustedes, desde un país del otro lado del mundo, y lo más increíble es que soy una señora de 50 años que admira inmensamente a estos asombrosos 7 chicos

As an American I was first introduced to #BTS first. Which sent me down a rabbit hole I cannot get out of. I now love most Kpop, Korean food, K dramas and now trying to learn Korean. I absolutely love Koreans. Here in America we support our local Koreans and their businesses. You are a beautiful people. I've now subscribed. Your English is right on!!!!!!

I love bts. However i clicked for the guy in the thumbnail cause FINE.

the guy with glasses gave really wholesome answers, I like him 💜

This quarantine , around June, I discovered Asia’s culture, specially SK’s. I knew stuff before since I’m a geography and history enthusiast but after watching my first k-drama I got interested in learning about SK’s culture and history. Then, I met BTS thanks to the many Dynamite teasers I saw on TikTok. No idea how they showed up in my feed, that day was a first, serendipity. I’m from Mexico and I knew BTS existed although I’d never listened to them before because I’m always listening to oldies, jazz or classical music. Even my mom knew who BTS were before I told her I was their fan. I love English culture too and literally when I had the chance of going there, I discovered lots of people didn’t actually like Harry Potter or Jane Austen. It’s a worldwide phenomenon.

I totally enjoy your contents as a new army you are a big help to get to know them more. Thank you.

They are so cute 😁 recently few Koreans from Busan came to our college (in Manipur, India) most of the girls know BTS but one of the guy even didn't know their names... I knew more about BTS more than them 😂

This shows that not all Koreans like/listen to kpop or BTS actually a lot of my friends and me (I am Korean) listen to English songs.

That was a very interesting interview... Thanks! [extra credit for the guy with the glasses -he had really wise opinions on the matter!]

The guy in black with the AirPod in and the guy in the beanie, they can both have me they’re so gorg! 😍😍😍

Who's the first guy they interviewed, and how does he like his eggs in the morning?!

I laughed when they were trying to continue the song some of them were so confused

The first guy in the beanie and red jacket. HELLO CUTIE

We are in America and simply love ❤️ BTS. They are the best since Michael J and Lionel R. That's what I feel There are a lot of great artist out there but this day and age they are extremely talented God Bless all of them so much.❤❤❤☆☆☆☆

This video is just in time before the BTS COMEBACK😌

The guy in the glasses is for sure my favorite person they interviewed. He didn't really show bias towards BTS or hate on them. He just answered in such a thought out way. His answers are actually very true.

You guys are good interviewers. And I am struck by how educated and polite the people were. Also I really enjoyed your explanations of the BTS MV's, there are so many references that are not known to Americans, and so much rich meaning in their songs! I really though IDOL was kind of bubble gum before I saw it translated and explained, but it is a very important song.

Also can I just say that everyone that is interviewed is so well spoken and I thoroughly enjoyed hearing all their different opinions. 👌🏼❤️

To explain this phenomenon as a Korean, today Koreans tend to pursue their own interests only. Before 2010, there was a so-called "national song." So there were a lot of songs the whole nation knew at the time, but after 2010, each person's interests or channel have diversified and so if they're not interested in BTS, they don't know BTS very well. And of course, as the BTS gained global fame, interest in Korea has increased and Korea became famous, but Korea does not scratch a living on BTS alone. It's uncomfortable to say "silliness" just they dont know about BTS

Being an International ARMY I can tell the ans of 'BTS contribution to Korea.' 1.Most of the people are now aware of Korea just because of BTS. I mean they have opened the door for people all over the world to explore about Korea. Nowadays people learn about Korean culture, Korean food, Korean history and also Korean language. And I think these things are enough for a Korean person to be proud of. 2. People usually starts with BTS but ends in falling love with Korea. This has even helped to raise the Korean Economy. I think these factors are enough to prove BTS's contribution to Korea. Edit : There are several others point that I can mention but I didn't Coz these were enough. And people coming up in comment section please I want to clear that BTS aren't ONLY ones but they are the Major Part of contribution. Big Bang ..... And all others your are mentioning absolutely did help but certainly there influence was 10/100 and I swear I am not exaggerating by saying that in my Country people don't know KPop or Korean but do know BTS( even if they listen to them or not.) Why to take everything between fans and fandom . Let's just Accept some natural facts sometimes. 🤗 And National / International media is not mad when they say that BTS PAVED THe Way 😄 and even President Of Korea Itself has said that. They are even recipients of 1. Order Of Cultural Merit 2. The Korean Society's Van Fleet : Awarded because of the massive contribution of US- Korea relationship.

The cool thing is that Non Koreans are now open to even more Korean Artists. That is always a good thing. Though the guy with the glasses was super analytical.

Little do they know that these 7 boys are literally saving lives, only armys understand how this boy band one day changed their whole life, this can’t be expressed by words

Interesting that here in the US we see article after article about the huge impact of BTS on the Korean economy, tourism, entertainment and promoting the Korean language and culture around the world. It just proves that so often we live in our own little bubble.

I think we outsiders sometimes condense Korea's image to K-pop or BTS. That is why we are so infatuated by the country because we imagine it as a land that where people go gaga over the biggest kpop bands and also enjoy a close proximity with them. But infact it is like any other place where people have jobs, life, work and a regular life. K-pop or any other form of entertainment is also a form of entertainment or relaxation for them.

Love your interviews!

When they actually don't know about BTS not knowing they're the most famous boy-band in the world Proud Army here💜

DUDE the first guy they interviewed and the one with the airpods are so attractive ???? movin to seoul after covid-19 def

If there would be a singer like BTS in our country, our nation would all know them... They’re so amazing artists, I wish we had singers like them in our country.

I love this VLOG fair and unbiased The vloggers are very good in talking too and fluent in English.. i love that we hear Koreans perspective about our idols and i love how they respectfully answer all the questions... Love it!❤ By the way the guy with a black bonnet on his head is HANDSOME 😁😍

I will love another segment of this to see if things have changed or not

The round man had really good thoughts. I enjoyed hearing what he had to say. And I really like how the tall man in black speaks. The way his mouth shapes his words is cool.

Imagine if after asking Koreans these questions, they then show them a video of them asking the same thing of international army nailing everything, even the korean lyrics. I bet their reactions would be fun to watch.😁

Imagine these questions was asked to a hard core ARMY-

I like your questions and your interviewees encompassed a universe of thought and opinión very accurate

Koreans passed the point that they could ignore bts’s success and achievements

Literally!!! GIRL:"Kpop isnt just manufactured idols from factory they have proven that they are actually skilled artist with their own story". Me:Yeah thats BTS😊

In my opinion as an Army and representing the Army BTS is famous worldwide not only for their synchronization in the choreography or how some people deserve their fame with beauty ** BTS makes BTS great with their songs, their lyrics, their talent, effort but above all their personalities, what they want to convey and apart from that their great love towards the fans their sincerity, humility I love all that about them, I love them for that and I will always support them for all that and more. Every time I get close to I feel like if I've known him for a lifetime he's such a cute and sincere love and I know that BTS wouldn't do anything to hurt our hearts. Amo a BTS sanamente, son parte de mi vida y estoy muy feliz con eso y doy gracias a Dios por su existencia.

"They won grammy" Lol they didn't but they were going to performed at there this year
