BTS's journey to the top of glory for nearly a decade has never been a rose-lined road. They have been repeatedly despised, underestimated, even received unnecessary criticism.

However, with the group's current success, many people regretted looking down on 7 boys. One of those who fall into this case, in particular, is a South Korean congresswoman.

BTS is considered the miracle of Kpop when 7 boys from a small company have become a leading group, their influence extends beyond the borders of Korea. But in order to do these extraordinary things, the group went through countless difficulties, suffered a series of prejudices as well as contempt.

Big Hit is a small company, not financially strong, so when they first debuted, BTS had almost no place on the Kpop map - there were too many famous groups at that time. At that time, BTS faced many injustices and was ignored because they did not have a reputation.

It was a South Korean congresswoman who admitted that she had the same opinion, but now she regrets it. Specifically, the female person in the story is Congresswoman Na Kyung Won of the Liberty Korea Party.

During a speech at a university where there are many young people, she mentioned BTS as a symbol representing Korean youth. In it, she shared a story she called an unfortunate incident of herself.

She said that before, when BTS was not yet famous, she had the opportunity to meet them at an event she organized for people with disabilities. At this event, in addition to BTS, there was also the appearance of Korean Ice skating queen - Kim Yuna.

At that time, Kim Yuna was a very popular person, so she was sought after in the event and BTS was the opposite. Even when taking photos, she took pictures with Kim Yuna and didn't do that with BTS. She admitted that at that time because BTS was not famous, she did not do it with them. Later, when she recalled, she regretted this action.

Congresswoman Na Kyung Won said: “I’m a fan of BTS. Back when BTS wasn’t well-known, they attended an event that I held for the disabled. At the time, I only took photos with Yuna Kim, who was very famous and didn’t take any photos with BTS, who was not famous at the time. I really regret it now.”

She also added that: “You probably remember the message BTS gave at the UN assembly, which was, love yourself. Everyone, remember to love yourselves. That’s what you can do for the better future of Korea.“

Although it's been a long time, this is a prime example of how it costs people to look down on others without seeing their success. Now even BTS is dedicating to the country and glorifying Korea internationally.

The story of the above female congresswoman has made many ARMYs exclaim:

- The price to pay for looking down on others too soon

- That's right, when my boys weren't famous, there were a lot of people like her

- She talks like she's a fan of BTS now

- Such an embarrassing story that can also be brought into a speech

- She's a prime example of people who used to look down on BTS

- Our boys are good at making other people feel ashamed of their old actions

- So proud of BTS
