[pann] IS BTS JUST FAMOUS FOR BEING FAMOUS?

“Let’s use the strategy of “being famous for being famous””

They’re male idols who are only famous for being famous, but now that V, RM, Jimin, Jin, Suga, and Jungkook have all completed their military service, people are saying their ‘fame for being famous’ is also coming to an end?

The ‘famous-famous’ thing he’s talking about doesn’t actually mean ‘famous because they’re genuinely popular.’ What Bang Sihyuk said back then was that BTS was already popular in Latin America, and they leveraged that popularity to grow their presence and status in the US. But antis like you twisted and exaggerated that one part and started spreading it completely out of context, distorting what was actually saidㅋㅋ

But the real ‘famous for being famous’ ones are SM idols

I’m always amazed at how communities and reality is the opposite ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ In the real world, BTS are a group with public recognition both with men and women, but Pann are trying to claim they’re not popular, meanwhile groups like Stray Kids are the real unpopular ones…

If it’s such a well-known strategy, so why don’t you guys use it too???? Go ahead and try it. The ‘famous-famous’ tactic worked for them, so it should work for your oppas too, right?  ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ  Everyone knows about it, so what’s stopping you? Especially those SM idols who always perform to half-empty concerts, why aren’t they using it? ㅋㅋㅋ

The whole ‘famous-famous’ thing doesn’t mean someone is genuinely famous because of their own popularity. What Bang Sihyuk actually said at the time was that BTS was already popular in Latin America, and they used that popularity to grow further and level up in the US  But that comment was exaggerated and taken out of context. If we’re talking about idols who are truly ‘famous for being famous,’ that would be groups like Wanna One and SM idols. Wanna One, for example, was never more successful than BTS, but people keep spreading that false narrative. And SM idols, even while getting overshadowed by other agencies’ idols, keep forcing themselves into the conversation and going viral with cheap tactics ㅋㅋㅋ
