For the first time in it’s history South Korea’s population and birthrate have fallen and Japan is already on its 9th straight year of their population falling. Just last year, Japan’s population dropped by 487,000. Is it possible for a country to go extinct?... how?

I don’t think people understand how BTS literally came from an unknown label, worked their way to popularity in Korea THEN broke records, won awards and made it to mainstream/western music, whilst being BARELY able to speak English, spoke at the UN, performed at the Grammys and have MILLIONS of fans globally. They sing, they rap, they dance, they entertain. They are versatile, their music ranges from rap, hip-hop, pop, pop-rock, k-pop. They have been compared to the Beatles. Personally, tho I’m a directioner and an army, for me it’s BTS lol, but I’m open to hear any oppositions.
THERE IS ONLY ONE BTS THERE IS ONLY ONE BACKSTREET BOYS THERE IS ONLY ONE 1D THERE IS ONLY ONE BEATLES SO I GUESS THERE IS NO NEED TO COMPARE THEY WERE ALL LEGENDS IN DIFFERENT DECADES (tysm guys for the likes......🤩💜)
BTS has no comparison. They became world famous singing in Korean from a small music industry, and a start up music company. I have great respect for them.
@Woojin X Cubs = Best Artist And Fandom But YG was influential since he was from Seotaji and boys... And seven also helped the company. We can't give all credit to big bang since 2nei also played a big role in the company... In case of SM that man too had lot of money and power... There were many before SuJu like from H.O.T to SNSD...shinwa etc... But It was BoA that really turned their game. In case of BigHit... PD Bang was a very famous producer but not much influential like others... BigHit started from zero with the boys. And when they debuted, there was high competition from all big3 still they managed to crash and open the western wall. Bigbang or artists from SM and JYP didn't have much competition when they debuted. But when they became big there was high competition among themselves and artists outside big3 thrived to get past all this hardships.
@Woojin X Cubs = Best Artist And Fandom Thats true... Everyone has a beginning but how is that beginning is what makes them unique. Yg, Jyp and SM has tones of artists which made them big3... But BTS and Bighit is different because before they became hybe, big hit was all about bts. Hybe wouldn't be even there if it wasn't for BTS. That's a great achievement rut?!
@@rashikajhan4748 When was 1D active?! 2010-2016. How did they became huge?! Deputed fromX-factor under a major label, huge promotion, tours on first year, all members famous in the X-factor. They became huge when there was no competition for them in early 10s. Even if 1D was active right now, BTS would still be bigger than them becos of the fan driven success and uniqueness they hv. It isn't directioners who sells out stadiums or albums of Bangtan. BTS debuted in 2013 in a small company in a competitive Kpop industry ruled by Big3. They had to take small steps to first surpass Kpop idols because they didn't hv media support nor where Kpop itself was mainstream. They even started get recognized in their home country only by 2015-16. They had to do 1000× work hard than 1D ever did in their entire career to get recognised. When did BTS truly became noticed in US - Only after 2017 after winning BBMAs against the 6 times winner JB and that particular event made Kpop mainstream. There is a huge difference between them. Use brains before saying dump things... PS: that is a sexy picture of Zayn right there? Is that GQ?
@@tanishkagupta1526 but modi is a prime minster of India and President have to give a speech at unesco, BTS have been awarded by the president of South Korea , lllllooooolllll
no not really. Bts is active now and they are the biggest boyband now. and that obviously why bts has more active fans now. So obviously we, Army’s will flock on any videos that will relate to bts.
@@parmaranushka just said u cant compare the two. Anyways 1D had more success in 5 yrs which many artists today dream of No hate to BTS, they are the big thing rn
PLUS, their membwr, Namjoon(formally known as Rap Monster) has a iq of 148, putting him as a genius. He also speaks english fluently, even if he is korean.
@@ofclinzz I agree but him having a high IQ or speaking English language fluently doesn't really count Sorry if it said something about IQ or fluent in language I might of missed it💜
Yeah, I Need U attracted a lot of fans (including me) especially teenagers to young adults, and BS&T was the era where the general public really supported them. DNA was the era where they were able to break in to the US market though.
I need you was the boost for their big success in Korea, BS&t was their arrival to the western market and their love yourself era made them to say in the Western Market.
Yes, I Need you aired on TV from a local channel here in Brazil on a clip show, and Dope was very successful followed by Fire! I became a fan of them at the time of Dope! And I didn't even know what Instagram or Twitter was, I heard about them on RU-vid because of the TV show.
??? they started gaining worldwide popularity around 2016, when they debuted in 2013.. i'm pretty sure they're not just the greatest artist from south korea
expecto patronum No shit...what’s your point here? How do you know if bts maybe got fair treatment and radio plays in America, if they wouldn’t be bigger? And I’m not saying they would but like-
@@rouro9915 bts barely know English and they are competing with bsb who already know English. Bts were able to get more famous by breaking a barrier with the internet.
@@enriquecruz-amigon205 I FREAKING LOVE BTS, but you can say that about English speaking bands that topped the charts in countries that don't speak English. They broke through the language barrier of the other countries that don't speak English as well.
I was a BSB fan in the 90s. I remember how crazy we were over them. All the girls back then wanted to marry Nick Carter 😁. Now I discovered BTS through my daughter. They are simply adorable.
@@youneedcooling8107 yup but we cant compare bts and one direction..into bsb success...why..simple in 90's there are so many competition bsb westlife nsyc boyzone a1 boys2men..in one direction prime? Who? After they disband bts became succesful one competition..
I mean they speak English so of course they got more coverage. Bts, on the other hand, are Korean and the fact that a korean band has been nominated for grammys, invited to the white house, spoke at the UN, have already broken 1d and beatles records all while coming from a label that no one knew so they had to knock on peoples doors to promote their own concerts because nobody would go?? I’d say bts is pretty fucking legendary
*BTS are Korean, even their home country didn't really accept them for the first 3 years of their careers. And it's as if they debuted in 2018 or 19 internationally, but still (some) people are not accepting them like 1D, or any other English artists. They JUST started it and are getting insanely stronger thus no one can predict what the future exactly holds for them. They are the players of their own game, they broke the language barriers and much more. Fun fact: They also won the Order of Cultural Merit as the youngest recipients in Korean history.*
bruv why do ppl make this a competition it's dumb af.. some people consider bts were more popular before in south korea, but now they're more popular in the west than in south korea. but their style is so different from the west bands fortunately which makes them unique so let's not make this a race lol. it's not always about the prizes
One Direction all the way to the end..... Also Directioners r mentioned in the dictionary so we r already winning.... No hate #TPWK cuz one of my idol says to treat people with kindness.... 🇬🇧🇮🇪
One mistake I would like to point out is that for One Direction they said 4 years, even though they lasted 5 years from 2010-2015 1D will always stay in my heart ❤️
But they consider it from the launch of the first album! I know they got recognition in 2010 because of the X factor but their album released in 2011! And yeah, 1D forever! BTS army might be huge but we are the OGs!
The thing is that we don’t care if bts is ‘the most successful’ We are just proud that they became so big coming from such a small country like korea, and coming from such a small company Thank you for the video, it was fun to watch :)
@@oneaboveall2019 idk if you are trying to make fun of BTS or not but stop making fun of artists with compering them please every junaration have legendary bands now it's BTS time after we don't know who will come 😊
@@k....j1496 Not at all mate! I ain’t got nothing against bts just telling the stupid fans that they aren’t the greatest of all time, we’ve had much better! You gen-Z’s would never understand
Val 2004 same! Im a 90’s baby,, the frst two band dnt have infact to me, and year 2018 i wqs so down and i start listening to bts , watching them heals me and i like watching there crack videos ,,
I was never into any pop bands whether the western or K-pop.I kinda had disinterest towards following celebrities always though I like their works and appreciate..admire and respect it. It was very accidentally I came to know about BTS and now they are an inseperable part of my life like a medicine like a stress reliever. I love them unconditionally for what they are like their extreme humble and adorable personalities and of course their incredible talent and achievements.
Just remember the reason why Grammys didn't let BTS have a solo stage bc they're afraid the award show might turn into a BTS Concert edit - [update]BTS will be the first korean artists to perform in the Grammys T^T
I don’t wanna be rude but how are their artists gonna satisfy their audience after watching BTS’ performance? The reason is simple: they can’t handle BTS’ charisma.
I'm gonna tell my kids that i had legends called " BTS " when other artists sings and writes about only girls, bars and just relationships only they taught me how to love myself 💜
I mean kpop before bts was mostly about fairytale love songs but BTS changed that and digged deep with their music about the harsh things about society (because that what they also experienced in their lives when they were starting before) that other kpop groups did not show before and how to overcome them that is not really sugarcoated (there is still love songs but its not the unrealistic side) which is why I got interested in BTS and eventually becoming an army
@@takonadareishvili1743 I'm south korean and their lyricism with message and deep meaning is not common here too. Most of other boy band in Korean also sing about their girlfriend and relationship.
You can never compare them, they’re all legends on their own. Made their names big on their own HARDWORK. And it paid off successfully. All are deserving to be famous and successful.
Not tryna be salty but the only difference why BTS aren't winning awards in the west is because...well they're Korean and that's a sad fact. But of course ARMY only wants them to be happy and we'll do anything to let their messages and names be known. We aren't done yet.
The fact that 1D achieved all of this in just 5 years, gave us five wonderful albums, 4 world tour and millions of memories. Imagine this world if 1d had continued
Bruh, comparision should have been on an equal basis, if BTS's songs were played on the radio like other artists, it was game-over for all the other bands, no matter which era, and we always forget that BTS made a name by singing korean, coming frmo a small company with very little promotion when they debut, unlike other bands here, but that dosent mean the other bands didnt work hard or arent deserved, but the comparision should have been a bit more fair
@@YRJ88Game um, No. I mean there are so many western bands, and out all them why a band from Korea whose most of their songs are in Korean get so popular did you ever wonder?
@@YRJ88Game and the appreciation part, at this modern age of streaming bts is only band or artist to sell the most physical albums without any bundles! This is the power of ARMY and their appreciation for BTS
One Direction was my childhood while BTS is keeping me sane as a young adult. I'm proud to be a Directioner and an ARMY, and I'll forever love both groups.
I loved 1D. But what makes me ARMY for BTS is the substance of their music and messages, plus their dancing. But both groups inspired a lot of people, so lets love them both.
Let’s not forget how HARD it is for a KOREAN act to be this huge in the west . All the other bands mentioned are all revolutionary and I love them wholeheartedly , but BTS is a different story , they’re hands down one of the most if not the most revolutionary artists of THIS generation . It’s so hard for a non English speaking artist to gain this amount of popularity in the West , and we should’ve put this into consideration
"the most revolutionary artists of THIS generation" please tell me this is a joke... What is revolutionary about singing and dancing like 100s of artists before them? What is revolutionary about doing it in korean like 100s of artists before them? What's revolutionary about gaining a rabid fanbase made up of creeps who no one actually likes in real life like 1000s of artists before them? In the words of Niall Horan, it's the same old shit but a different day
"Rabid fans" - funny you say that because it was 5 direction fans who proudly hacked airport security cameras to creep on them hours on end. Revolutionary - Seems you need to reread op's comment to get it through your thick brain. What's not clicking? Did you lose it when they went 5 directions?
@@GranolaBars11 If you would actually try to understand what BTS is doing you would see that they ARE actually revolutionary. Tell me one of the so-called "1000s" of artists/groups that can dance like them. Oh, 'PLEASE TELL ME THAT THIS IS A JOKE.' If BTS were an American group, you would probably not say this. Just because BTS have fans that are actually dedicated to them does't make ARMYs toxic. Maybe if you actually listened to BTS before dissing them, you would actually understand why this comment is stupid. Before you make yourself look like more of an idiot and asshole, shut your mouth and do something better with your time than write hate comments on RU-vid that you'll just get dissed for.
Granola Bars oh man... I hope you realized what kind of a dummy comment this was. I mean they even spoke at UN and made a huge impact on the world by being an incredible inspiration... and nobody did it like BTS. Non other group ever achieved a success likely to gain attention from the West (Europe, America etc.) when they actually come from Asia, ESPECIALLY from an actually unknown small label which gained huge success through BTS! They are very different to other groups... they had a way harder path to prowl and had to prove themselves much more often then other groups and had to fight trough prejudice and racism because they are Asian and make K-Pop music and stuff like that. They are unbelievably talented, they sing, rap, dance, act, produce their own music/songs, entertain (the list goes on and on). They speak about topics that every age group concerns and have a fandom which isn’t only consistent out of teens but also elders. They talk about very important topics and aren’t typically singing about love and relationships and so on. They have a really big depth in their lyrics which touches many people around the globe. I really much hope that you start to reflect the things you said and try to think a big more objectively instead of mean, pessimistic and hater-vibe-likely and try to rethink your opinion about BTS. I hope you didn’t feel offended and I wish a great and relaxing day/night.
mochi kookie I think he or she worded it wrong, the concepts of what BTS is doing isn’t “ revolutionary “ or new. Many artist in the past and present try to have the concept of self love, mental health , LGBTQ , etc. What’s revolutionary is their success on doing these things.
@Omkar Gole Zyan already left 1D right? so it's not 1D which u all were a stan of anymore instead of telling them to reunite, why not just support their solo songs and albums?
@Omkar Gole BTS made songs since 2013 and Blackpink since 2016 1D's less popular than BTS n BLACKPINK BTS has over 23B views and BLACKPINK has over 15B while 1D Only has 10B and they made songs since 2010 BTS IS THE BIGGEST BOY BAND duh only 20M Streams? 😂 BTS has over 15B streams on Spotify and more than 15 songs with 100M+ streams *IF* They were active they could have surpassed BTS but they aren't and wouldn't be 😛, so it's BTS for now
Yes but we have to take into consideration that BTS are ASIAN Artist who sing in Korean and became big in America and WW. 1D and the Back Streets Boys are groups with mainly white members in a western music industry.
I think the Asian theory did take this into consideration. Both one direction and definitely the Beatles were popular in Asia. All of these groups are extremely successful and have done great things. Beatlemania helped create fan culture as we know it today. The Backstreet Boys helped create boy bands as we know them today - an influence in kpop. One direction helped propel boy bands and fan culture into the 21st century. Bts are perfecting and revolutionizing the idea of the boy band. They all have had an important role to play.
I’m totally agree whit you, 1D and Back Streets Boys are amazing, but their songs are in English, BTS songs are in korean and still manage to connect and transmit messages to people, and that is a great achievement 💜.
The difference is the art they give. All of them are great but Bangtan has something that no group has. They are real artists: lyrics, production, rap, sing, dance. You can relate to BTS songs if you are 10 years old or 50 years old.
One direction has everything bro you can't add dance to vocals but we can put high notes to vocals and also one direction (Zayn) are best vocalist of the generation and the king of high notes ❤
let's be honest here if bts gets the same treatment as the english speaking bands , like putting them in the radio + playlisting , i'm sure they will demolish every band out there , also english language is a big advantage , the fact that bts music is in korean and still have this success and can compete with these bands tells you how great they are also big props for bts and thier fans facing xenophobia and still being successful.
@@belanie7145 the fact that their latest title track "ON" got 0 radio support (literally) because "it's not in English" and still managed to get all those numbers is...truly insane
Yess they really did that and now they have surpassed so many band like 1d and now been compared to beatles so much great amount of success they have got
I agree.. but if they start singing in English.. they would not be true to themselves, their country ad culture they represent... that i why i love them more.
Not really if their songs were in English I doubt people would even listen to it and they would become irrelevant but it’s cause they sing in a different language which is why they already have a lot of recognition.
i agree and disagree honestly. english music is more known because its a universal language and im pretty sure people would prefer listening to them because they would understand it without the need to search the meaning, but singing in korean is what makes them unique and is what they are known for !! < 33
One direction forever will be in our hearts❤.. We are not done yet When they are back we'll break all the records at once we'll show everyone the power of a directioner !!! ❤✨
@black velvet you guys don't even think about being a family all of my friends are armies and two of them aren't talking from like a year now because both of them like jungkook
We cant compare bsb to one direction and bts...why..bsb on 90's has so many competition...westlife nsync a1 boyzone otown etc.when one direction become popular is there any competition? Then when they disband bts become the most populat boy band..any competition ?
@@MRHEALS-je1lj you Directioners are always so pressed when someone talks about BTS, like no one can praise or even talk about BTS and BTS alone without some of y'all inserting yourselves. It's embrassing
BTS is everything, I cry, laugh and being emotional all that in one single day and everyday because of them.. I could definitely never ask for more, I love them so much
Can we just talk about how bts have done things, that haven’t been done since the Beatles, while opening up the music industry for non-western music, and changing the history of music - and they have signed a contract for seven more years. In my opinion no group has ever come close, to the status that the Beatles has until BTS came around.
nah one direction were definitely getting compared to them as well. Any band with high success will get compared to the Beatles tbh and especially in our day in age where social media makes it easy. Imagine if the Beatles or even BSB were in our generation.
It’s facts, you have to think about how easy it is to gain popularity in general not even with just music compared to back then. Wasn’t no Apple Music or Spotify or RU-vid for streams or nothing.
@@Slauson59th fair, they were compared to the beatles as well, BUT bts were the ones who broke the beatles' record for 3 number 1 albums on the billboard 200 chart in less then a year. that's what op was referring to.
@@Slauson59th yes of course one direction was being compared to them but never broke the Beatles record if they would have stayed together they could've gone far too
BTS topping the world (currently) speaking Korean when the world is such a sucker for the english language, it's what I call 'doing history'. So BTS being the n1 or surpassing the N1, it would be good ngl, but it doesn't matter to me at all bc the things BTS got until now, no group could ever.
LOL no. They're not "topping the world". You do realize that bts on charted top 10 for 1 week before dropping all the way down the charts 1 week later. At least 1D and BSB can chart for longer than a week
Granola Bars you’re literally commenting on everyone praising BTS. go outside and smell some fresh air, please. your obsession over a hating on a Korean Band that is currently thriving more than your Western Boy bands is not healthy.
Let's be real 1st Gen- The Beatles 2nd Gen- One Direction 3rd Gen- BTS •Soon BTS will be out too because in the future, another band will take the spot. That's the reality, it just goes on and on from generation to generation. They're famous now but not forever. But I know for sure those three will be in music history
Exactly so fuck the Grammys. But seriously....40 Daesangs??????!!!! Plus I think he forgot to mention about BTS getting something off the president/prime minister (idk which they use) of South Korea. Plus they were only popular in 2016 unlike the other two where they blew up quickly
Daniel Schriever yes, but the video is mainly talking about the band that are still alive And who would forget the Beatles of course... also Queen is also a force to be recken with in the music history... Ahhhhhh......0
expecto patronum yes, they did mention the Beatles actually. Watch the whole video. And yes it was super obvious, they were going to win, WaTCh tHe WhOle viDeO, they mentioned it. Oh yeah if you haven’t get the point of the viDeO, it’s about the current biggest boyband. At this point I don’t know if you are even watching the video are not lol That’s why it’s not possible (no offence, no hate) that the beatles would win in this list BUT definitely a band written down with bold letter in the history of music. (Sorry, no offence if it was offensive to you, I just have a problem withh people who clearly say the obvious but said “I think” like they thought of it. No hate. Just my problem)
@K-7 "Helios" lmao that's your imagination, Ain't no one can hit bsb legends, they will always be first at the position of being best boy band in the world : Get more educated about the topic your talking with ans then come to talk without being cringe
@K-7 "Helios" Lmaooo, They have their own unique way of dancing, and still they perform the same choreography in today concerts , Unlike those bts copycats who copies Michael Jackson's dancing steps 😂🏳️🌈🐵 lmaoooo , Even Indians dancing better than those kpop bts trash
@Demon Dogs "케르베로스" Lmao those korean plastics are overrated. They came in digital era when everything is much easier to access with. BTS will be vanished in 10 years. Mark my words. BSB is far better than BTS. 100m album copies are better than 2-3 billion youtube views. Even after more than a decade after their golden era, BSB still can make hundreds of million to 1 billion youtube views. And they're still active.
hey the real fact is that one direction is the biggest boyband since 2010 and they will always be. they will be the history. its been 5 years without them and their fandom is still huge and alive. no one can beat them. they got so successful in like 5 years. :)
I never in my life liked a artist so much than bts, music was tasteless for me I don’t even bother to listen to music from my own country many artists consider legends where just famous people for me, but then I met bts I never knew why people were crazy around them for me it was stupid, why will you cry about a Asian guy? For their success? I listen to one song and without read the lyrics I cried so hard because I could felt the message. Now I’ve been following them 4 years, sometimes I get told I’m gay for liking them but I don’t care, they are my happiness I’m 25 and I’m a bts army
Honestly, same i never was into any artist at all I would listen to random songs, never was a fan of any artist until BTS which is very surprising coz i preferred female voices before to sing along well, make cover and i found female voices more soothing, until i listened to BTS ofcourse, now I'm Listening to 7 diverse male voices and i can't believe the me two years back was so tunnel visioned 😹 Anyways I'm happy to stan BTS and like you said Don't care about those narrow minded people who bring down others 💜
Agreed! I became an army this year, and it changed my life. I felt I understood their message, even if I don’t understand their language, I look at the translation and I feel I understand. I get made fun of for liking them, but I don’t care, they brought me happiness and taught me to love myself.
Same, i ended up hating the Italian Music because of Trap. They made me see Music in general under a new light. I've been for 3 years a fanboy now. I even transformed in ARMY my Family and my girl 😂
i would like to point out comparing artists from different generations. bts are leading an era where buying the physical album is basically useless, as there are streaming apps and stuff like that. however, in the 90s, such streaming apps were not available, making fans buy the physical albums (which would lead to bigger sales). same thing the other way around. so many people can access music today so it’ll be inevitable for today’s artists and heartthrobs to have more fans than the artists of the last generation. so, i think it is important to keep in mind the different circumstances of the different time periods! great video!
in this era buying the physical album is just to have the feeling of owning something it doesn't really mean anything anymore. I think it's just to have the things that come with the album like posters and photo cards. It's just used as display or decoration so I agree with this comment
My 2nd comment.. Remember y'all Armys when RM was dissed on his look that he doesn't have an idol face and is not handsome... n there was lot of dissing after that on BTS... n he said " he will prove it to all" And here BTS is being compared to Best boy bands of the WORLD of all time... the only K-pop group to achieve the "World's Best Boy Band" status...
As a Directioner who recently became Army I can say that I've never seen a group like BTS before. These guys are pure talent and 100% self-made. They came from a bankrupt company in Korea and managed to work their way up to now becoming the biggest group in the world. They literally do it all and they do all genres. They address important topics in their songs like mental health, societal expectations from youths, and self-love so their lyrics are often very powerful, empowering, and comforting. Not to mention how humble, genuine, charismatic and funny they are, and how they truly care about their fans and about each other. I really wish I'd given them a chance earlier 💜
Bro say what you want but the Beatles are like music gods. Without them none of the other Boybands would have existed. BTS are the only ones who can come close to them if they stay together for a few more years. But the Beatles are the number one forever.
truthfully BTS are going to be the greatest boy band in history. they’ve made a great impact on a lot of people in the past 7 years and they aren’t gonna stop anytime soon.
Hotshortie1984 There will be a day when people will hear BTS and say: I like them... They will look at the lyrics and say: wow 😳 this is amazing! ... And they will continue to listen and ask for these songs on the radio and maybe, who knows, somebody tell these occasional BTS fans about the Armys and they say: Cool!
Hotshortie1984 sweetie ARMY WILL stay focused. We always are there is a reason they hold the world record for most twitter engagements(average tweets) for a music group, the record for most views in 24 hours and oH we have also been holding the number one spot on social 50 for 173 weeks. We are VERY focused.
I think is unffair to use grammys to compare bcs there will always be this "they are koreans" thing, and well we all know that no matter how much sales and streams BTs has grmmys has been refusing to nominate them you can use americans awards against an asian group
universe yt exactly, just how he isn’t comparing the south korean awards to the english speaking bands... like... he called the grammys the biggest award show in music. but music is global and not limited to native english singers unlike the grammys. I think this was an unfair way to put it because the grammys aren’t even fan voted. They’re voted by other artists that are jealous and xenophobic...
@@GranolaBars11 daesangs are for kpop idols only, ever seen an American even appear, welp there's a reason. The Grammys are racist, just shut up no one wants to hear u.
Kara queen would the korean award show nominate an american artist from the western company i think not. stop with ur bull sis it isnt that easy to change award shows and just bring in artist(s) from a different country pursuing in a different industry. yall sound like delulus
