BTS is in service to their country,like all the unknown defenders of South Korea,why do people give their last dollar,to people that do nothing for them or do not care for them in the first place

10 years and I've still never bothered to listen to any of BTS's music. My apathy is that complete.
Viva J-Pop!

Always good to see philately getting some coverage. A 6x8 format mini sheet from Japan Post would be welcome.
Perhaps a missed opportunity though. They could have issued a playable record stamp. Innovated by Bhutan, Switzerland and Spain have also issued playable stamps. And North Korea have issued DVD stamps. The Bhutan ones are expensive, the North Korean ones come up occasionally, the Swiss and Spanish ones are cheaper and easier to get. Thematic (topical) collectors can build a substantial collection of pop stars or classical musicians on stamps.

Wow ten years old!
The honor should go to their marketing people, certainly not the trained dancing monkeys.

Try enabling a culture of gapjil and sexual favors. I quit listening to K-pop ages ago and am never going back.

Kpop only began its ascent by using bots to hyper inflate YouTube likes and views

kpop is not my taste but I praise their marketing and of course hard training. The Japanese who can't believe their global success and still believe some conspiracies should think of Michael Jackson. I found kpop idols are pretty like him: thin feminine appearance with bold confidence, exotic makeup, sharp dancing. That's why even westerners can appreciate them. Unfortunately the Otaku oriented jpop idols have no chance to get as popular as them.
