I guess I’m officially old, as I have no clue about one of the world’s biggest bands…
To call them a “band” is a stretch.
“K-pop” group — Korean pop, usually pubescent(-looking’ boy-bands — are huge in Asia and among many Western schoolgirls. They’re very similar to our own boy bands, perhaps a bit less sexually intimidating to young girls. Very androgynous. Military service can only do them good.
BTS is a male vocalist/singing group form Korean and of style that became known as “K-Pop” (Korean for Korean style pop music). They have a reported 90 million followers globally, with fans across asia and all the way to the U.S.
In some ways they resemble the style of the “American boy bands” of the 1990s, like Backstreet Boys, NSYNC and New Kids on the Block, with singing performances that include dance moves, but the K-Pop style has alot more dance choreography and I’d suggest it is much more developed.
The K-Pop style has expanded across Asia and is reflected in male singing groups in Japan and elsewhere.
