BTS: The seven-member K-pop boy band, full name Bangtan Sonyeondan, blew up social media during the course of the evening, their voracious fandom inundating feeds with support for the group. In their first appearance at a U.S. awards show, they handily took home the prize for Top Social Artist, and made quite a few new fans in the process (Halsey included). If this is any indication, BTS is poised to become one of K-pop's first real stateside crossover successes.

Date: 2017-05-23 11:08 am (UTC)They also all have the same exact haircut. (And Zayn Malik thought he had it hard.)
FIGHT ME STOP SLANDERING PRETTY BOWLCUTS and why is GQ acting like they had BAP's hair debut era (though the styling was still different, it was just the color).

Date: 2017-05-23 11:38 am (UTC)i still haven't gone threw everything. part because i've been busy but mostly because all of it is still overwhelming to me and i need to do it bit by bit (or just do it all tonight and be all over the place with my emoitons, get it over with haha). i'm just so unbelievably happy. like, it went the best way it could go and more. definitely exceeded all my expectations, i'm so happy for my boys!!!

sway's mom emailing him is toooo cute
can some one at bighit please tell jimin to stop posing with his face/jaw pushed out and trying to smize??! this is a controversial opinion cause i know most fans think he looks better than ever recently, but it makes him look so weird and uncomfortable imo.

Date: 2017-05-23 12:36 pm (UTC)they just....I feel so proud of them AGAIN. I keep saying it but they really handled themselves well and had fun. I was watching a fancam of when they were announcing who was going to win and I think it was JK who had his fingers crossed lol. The looks on their faces when they won were nothing but gratitude and it still shows me how humble they are. I get emotional that Namjoon always starts his speeches off with saying Army.
I hope they had too much fun at any after partiesno subject
Date: 2017-05-23 12:39 pm (UTC)I applaud OP's formatting and organization skills, nice post.
But srsly congrats to BTS! Say what you will about them but they've really worked hard and come a long way from where they started (I don't really follow them that closely but I do know that much). I wonder how much more publicity and fans they'll get from this.
Oh and props to Rapmon(?) for basically hard carrying the all the interviews and speaking in english lol, I guess the others weren't as comfortable with speaking it?

Date: 2017-05-23 01:32 pm (UTC)I can't say this enough, I'm so proud of them.
They got so much coverage, some I didn't think they would, and exposure. I hope they had a great time and were able to meet lots of people.
lol I love how even though some didn't know English they would still chime in given the chance. Taehyung and Hoseok were so extra at times xD never change boys.

Date: 2017-05-23 01:47 pm (UTC)Damn seeing all those celebs and fellow artists and especially their bighit/industry family tweet their support is just really, really heartwarming. You can tell that a lot of their industry peers are fans of them as well :') I know this may be written off as a fan given win (though I think they took into account sales etc too?) but the fact that it opened them up to SO many new people who will hopefully give their music a chance just makes me SO SO happy.
"K-Pop Sensation BTS Praise Celine Dion" my eyes went straight to this because SAME tbh

Date: 2017-05-23 07:09 pm (UTC)wow at the amount of press coverage they've got
and without making fun of them yay. It's amazing.I'm also amazed at how collected they were while accepting the award, especially Namjoon, he spoke very well during his speech! Actually he did so well through the whole night, he's an great leader and I respect him for that

Date: 2017-05-23 10:05 pm (UTC)That buzzfeed article about Asian representation is my fave ugh (even tho it's buzzfeed lol) like I'm still a bit angry that someone whose music I kind of like called them "Chinese". I'm so so glad most of the coverage is about them as artists rather then trying to compare them to another boy band or relate them to psy.
