Did BTS get the world or did the world want BTS?
If an idol Singer has a superb appearance, singing, and dancing skills, it is natural that he will have a fan. However, the relationship between BTS and Ami is a little special. They are like partners who share their beliefs and share their values, leaving the sign of not, and what are they tied together?
I found Newport, a relatively new city in New Jersey, comparable to Bundang in terms of Korea. Those who met here told a more personal and deep story.
Before we hear them, we need a rough understanding of American society: America is a group of people of various races, incomes, religions, and identities. It inevitably creates a diverse class, and it is certainly a “mainstream” in this society, and some people are branded or pushed out of the “Subculture” for either innate or acquired reasons. BTS' message caught the hearts of those who thought they were alienated, especially in American society.
Barry Lee, who is a fashion blogger, is a Japanese African-American, but he is often teased because he is a mixed-race in black society. And he knew from the age of eight that his sexual identity was different from others. He was gay. It was BTS who spoke to Barry, who had to be shrinking in society for various reasons. “Member Suga always says, ‘It doesn’t matter whether you’re a man or a woman,’” he said, “which has increased my self-esteem.” The same thing is that Sutan, who studies biomedical science at Hudson University, whom he met with, also refers to Suga, saying, “Sex identity is not a problem. “No Singer has ever told us this story,” he said.
In the American student society, the fact that I liked K-pop once became a target of teasing. K-pop Singers who dance with their ears, dye their hair, and wear clothes on their bodies seem to be gay without any sense of spirit. Chris, a Filipino, also said, “I was teased a lot at school, but now that K-pop is popular, my friends who are teasing me are becoming fans.” For those who suffered from the status of immigrants and sexual identity, the message of BTS was like salvation.
Even if there is no problem in nature, there are crises and hardships for everyone. Aileen, an art school student in Manhattan, suffered from heart disease. Eileen’s family, who emigrated from Colombia, also live in central Manhattan in New York, a well-off environment with no problems at home, but depression and anxiety disorders came at the age of 11. Every winter, depression became worse and the parents who had chosen to emigrate for their daughter's education deepened their worries. Then Eelin heard BTS' song Spring Day. “Wait until winter, and spring, and I’ll pick you up.” The song heEilatd Eileen, who had been able to spend the last winter without pain thanks to BTS. “The other Singers were just singing nicely and finished, but no one was constantly giving messages to their fans like BTS,” Eileen said.
Many Amis had an unusually similar story: the biggest trigger for their fall into BTS was their “message.” BTS sang about the anxiety about growth that comes to anyone, regardless of nationality or race, in their teens or early 20s, and they listened to themselves. Dominic Jack, who met in Brooklyn, said he was bullied, and Molly, who met in Times Square, said, "I often hated myself because of my fat body. “I was very comforted to hear BTS’ Not Today,” he said.
Numerous minorities were heEilatd by BTS and restored their self-esteem, further bringing their hands to the more difficult people around them. They found out and communicated with each other through social networking expenses, and they gathered through applications such as Meet Up offline to hold events. Their events have developed into social influences such as photo exhibitions and dance covers, as well as social service and donations. “BTS saved me, and it became their music and strength in the tough times of my life, and now I will go to those who are in need,” Michelle said, meeting at the Newark Prudential Center.
Those who support BTS are different from each other, but they have risen from this situation and started to support them. The American amis who have found courage thanks to them who have not said anything to Korea as well as any other Singer in United States of America have now become a good friend to keep the BTS side. Because of their solid support, BTS' world challenge can not be prevented.
