get iiiiiitttt. and gahdamn tae looks hella fine in that group pic

[jaelissi.livejournal.com]

Tae always looks fine rho. He doesn't do it for me like that, but he and Kookie have no bad angles. It's infuriating

[mc1a.livejournal.com]

Wait till you see him dancing to BST with that beret.

[jaelissi.livejournal.com]

So that deal with Def Jam Japan is actually paying off. And k-ARMYs were accusing the Island girls of not pulling their weight

[mc1a.livejournal.com]

Some i-ARMY were accusing them as well. I remember when BTS announced the tour in Japan a lot of them were "why Japan? They haven't done anything for BTS but trending #s why Jimin or Hobi should leave the group."

[queenhinata.livejournal.com]

they're gaining fans everywhere :')

at this rate, i think they can do tokyo dome concert within 2 years

[chikage-chan.livejournal.com]

Considering they are doing 3 days Saitama Arena already this year, I'm sure they can successfully arrange a Dome show next tour, or even an special additional live there this year if they have time in their super packed schedule lol

once again, bangtan is slaying. slay bangtan slay.

[saemcrh.livejournal.com]

Kings of selling in Japan.

[jaelissi.livejournal.com]

Kings of topping charts with translated versions of old songs

[zui-circus.livejournal.com]

congrats!! i hope they get some rest :s

[dynamite-state.livejournal.com]

BS&T is just THAT powerful.

[hellicoptajuuce.livejournal.com]

I looked at their album sales for Wings and ong they passed 1 million! LEGENDS ONLY!

[welljustguess.livejournal.com]

Surprised tho since I currently lived in Japan and their live performance in Japan tv shows always aired at morning time in weekdays.. like who'll watch at that time? But this number change my mind little bit.

[chikage-chan.livejournal.com]

Morning shows are actually a big deal here as far as I know, since they reach a lot of the general audience that would not normally know about kpop. Specially the housewives/older women demographic, and they tend to become huge consumers of the genre once they are introduced to it! ^^

[jillyjellly.livejournal.com]

i won't be surprised if they announce tokyo dome dates soon - their growth is incredible! i browse japanese websites for shinee stuff and 防弾少年団 always top the search rankings for kpop artists

[rosiemotleymind.livejournal.com]

Slay a bit boys. I'm wondering already what the next big boy group will be after them. Their actual reign of popularity is crazy.

[jazzy4heard.livejournal.com]

sorry ! I replied to the wrong comment lol..

[baboboy.livejournal.com]

I don't understand why are they so popular, I mean I'm not hating, I just want to know how they got so big especially with exo still around

But still congrats on selling a lot, that's always nice

[racquelle2005.livejournal.com]

mte. they haven't really done anything groundbreaking musically but I think it helps that they all have such interesting personalities.

[pikapika217.livejournal.com]

so proud of my boys (and rapmon)!

[chikage-chan.livejournal.com]

Congrats to the boys~~ They know what they are doing promotion-wise, they released the single in a week that it was clear they would overcome all the other releases, plus their physical promotions have been wild lol Huge billboards in Shibuya, decorations in a lot of music stores, single snippets consistently playing on Family Mart... It definitely paid off!

[ohlookshiny.livejournal.com]

dayum! slay a bit... and these releases didn't even have photocards.

[miwa201.livejournal.com]

no photocards but there are multiple versions and those handshake events, typical gimmicks to inflate the sales

[pastelpinklace.livejournal.com]

Damn, they're bringing the hallyu wave back to Japan

[miwa201.livejournal.com]

good for them, maybe during their next tour they'll do tokyo dome. i hope i-fans stop being so damn bitter about japan/japanese fans now

[callherblondie.livejournal.com]

They're unstoppable.

Tae + Beret = Me Not Ok
