  I am an example of someone who opened my eyes to BTS after seeing them on an American TV show. Seeing how they were even mentioned by the American mainstream media broke a wall, a barrier, and many stereotypes, for me.
- sharonsgames says:
  And now, they have won Top Duo/Group at the BBMAs as well as Top Social Artist for three years in a row, as well as performed multiple times on the BBMAs. Rather than having a hit song like Gangnam Style, growing steadily seems like it's paying off!
- sharonsgames says:
  That sentence was so satisfying to read. We now know that the BBMA award was the first one in a long string of awards. I had no idea about BTS, and I had no idea they won that award back then. Now, however, three years later, millions more people are fans of BTS and are very well aware that they won that award.
- sharonsgames says:
  True. I didn't even know that they won the award when they did. Now, three years later, I am a fan of BTS and I know about that award very well.

  I think the problem really lies with what people consider queer. In most Western countries, the though of two adult men holding hands while walking down the street is homosexual. That's not necessarily true in South Korea, especially if they're under 25. We have to remember that many South Koreans still see people 24 and under as basically teenagers. They're cute. They're expected to still be innocent. As well as the fact that most South Koreans don't get married until they're closer to 30 and most haven't had their first sexual intercourse until they are well into their 20's (it's actually illegal to have sex if you're under 20 unless you're married...age of consent is 20). In some Western countries (not America), it's normal for straight men to lip kiss as a greeting. Although that's not a custom in South Korea, we can't impose our own ideas of what it means to be queer in a country that values skinship among youth. Ideas of manliness vary as well.

  i don't care what your opinions are or whose side you're on. the fact remains she sung about a little 5 year old boy knowingly and found his character sexy in some way. I liked IU but hearing about this song kinda raises eyebrows and basically broke the spell of being mesmerized by this woman. Seriously, the only reason she's getting a break is because of her fame. If you sung about this to your family or friends, they'd probably think you're crazy
