| The chili sauce is awesome, y’all! Actually has funky Korean flavor. Cajun sauce was good. Basically a creamy spicy mustard. |

Butter has won #1 on a Korean music show! https://www.reddit.com/r/kpop/comments/nni6o3/bts_have_taken_their_first_win_for_butter_on_mbc/
This is with no promotions of this song in Korea. Dynamite won a bunch of weeks in a row without Korean promotions either. For context, there are 6 major music shows in Korea - Music Core (which is where they won #1 this week), Inkigayo, Music Bank, SBS The Show, M Countdown, and Show Champion. Music Bank, Music Core, Inkigayo, and M Countdown are the big ones though. Butter isn’t eligible on some of the shows because they all have different requirements and some require the artist to be actively promoting the song with live performances on the music shows. So it can’t win The Show or M Countdown because they require performances. Anyway, it’s a big deal to win #1 on a music show, it shows that you’re a top artist and is used as a barometer of success of sorts for new artists to see if they’ve really broken through to the next level of fame. For BTS to win with their English language song that they’re not even actively promoting shows they’re still the most popular group in Korea! |
The performances were good, the interview was lame, not that I expect a lot from GMA. After watching the Butter Special Performance video this morning I’m in love with their summery look. |
| Butter by BTS is #1 on the Billboard 100. I finally heard it on the radio yesterday when I was not listening to spotify. |

Back when they did carpool karoke with James Corden.

Jungkook is such a good singer, I can’t even. |
Papa Mochi and Baby Mochi! |
| Is anyone buying Muster? I’m torn, not sure I can wake up that early. |

Not BTS but is anyone watching GMA? TXT is on and they have an English language song too! I don’t follow them too much but I know they’re BTS’s junior group. They seemed to have multiple members who were at least passably fluent in English during the interview.
I can’t believe I’ve been following the ups and downs of K-pop for over 10 years and now I’m enjoying this moment of multiple groups performing in the US and having mainstream exposure. It’s crazy! |
You are ahead of the times! I just discovered BTS during quarantine. I was not used to their aesthetic but I love it now and enjoy the social media they produce. It's quite endearing. |
I have loved BTS for about 3 years, and have been watching TXT off and on since their debut. I really like their songs and their dancing is also good! Yeonjun’s look is amazing, he’s like a model. |

| I’m shocked at how much content is churned out each day for their fandom. Is this what other pop stars do as well? |

I don't know if I'm in the minority but I am a bigger fan of Run BTS than their performances!
I mean, I do think they are great singers and dancers but omg their Run BTS episodes are hilarious, I don't understand what they're saying but once the subtitles are in I usually replay the episodes multiple times. This group is one of the best things I've discovered during the pandemic and I'm SO grateful they've kept my spirits up during the past year. |
| Umm....FESTA is awesome. They rapped to Yoongi’s song! |
