To the world, BTS has become an incredible name over the past decade with the mark they have left. It's a name to be proud of, to be admired, and worthy of the biggest acclaim.
However, in the past, this wonderful name - BTS has suffered many rude ιиѕυℓтs just because they come from a small company but "dream big". That market makes the members hesitate to say their group's name and they also have to doubt their ability to succeed when entering an uncertain future.
But in the end, the group made it through, and looking back, it's the people who once scorned BTS for their name who should feel ashamed:
Currently, BTS is the leading idol group, even international superstars are called "global phenomenon" by Billboard, Forbes, Vogue... with achievements, records and influence that are difficult to find the other one. Obviously, the name BTS has now become a legend, a proud symbol.
But many people don't know that, to proudly say that they are a member of BTS, they have to go through a dark period. They spent their poor days, had to work part-time to earn money to support their pαssion for music, slept in damp basements and picked up stuff others left to reuse when they were trainees.
Even at the time of the group's debut, difficulties continued to pile up when BTS was considered anonymous and despised with countless ¢υяѕєs and contempt from netizens. They hated the group because they had different music styles and they weren't idols from big entertainment companies at that time.
Back in 2013, 2014, Big Hit Music was a "small and poor" company, so the company's idols were often discriminated against and abandoned when appearing on programs with company groups. other big companies. Jimin once confided that they did not have the opportunity to appear on many shows. If the show has enough artists, BTS will not have a chance to appear.
The most crisis at the time of debut was when BTS received a lot of criticism and disparagement when they debuted with the name Bangtan Soyeondan. Initially, this name was coined with the core message that they represent young people struggling to break prejudices. Although it is a meaningful and respectful name, many people think that the members do not deserve this name and have the illusion of popularity when they come from a small, unknown company.
Accompanied by a series of comments that when looking back, it is easy to understand why it has become an obsession for the members, including RM. Those people left scornful words like:
- Hey guys, don't call it bulletproof helmets or bulletproof vests
- Bangtan Sonyeondan hahahaha
- It's been a while since I saw another company кιℓℓing their own artists after Coed
- The name is right... You should ċüŕṩệ the person who named the group like that. It's not like they're scouts
- So, have you guys been shot yet? Hahahaha
- Sounds like some 80s ̾j̾a̾p̾a̾nese group
Those words seemed to be just a few simple words but it made the spirit of RM and BTS members suffer so badly. At that time, the BTS members themselves also ̾l̾o̾s̾t ̾ their confidence to the point of not daring to say their group name when someone asked.
RM recalls the worst days of his life: “For us, we have a painful memory". He also added: “From when we didn’t tell anyone except our family and friends about our name for three years during that time.”
The name of a group should always be the top pride that the members mention or mention to others, but for BTS, the feeling of fear after receiving so much contempt and criticism makes them choose to keep as a secret rather than telling it out!
Fortunately, days after, BTS members soon regained the perseverance to accept it as a motivation to rise in the future. Thanks to those prejudices, BTS has worked harder to prove that BTS is Bangtan Soyeondan and even goes beyond the original ideas.
From an unknown group under a small company, BTS has gradually risen to the top of fame, making the whole world refer to the name "BTS" as a legend and follow them on YouTube and digital music platforms. They also have albums sold for millions of dollars, and even entered the Korean Blue House кσяєαn and US Wh̾i̾t ̾e House, stood in front of the United Nations council,... They made the whole world recognize that they actually do what they first claim to do without being paranoid about it.
Over 10 years on the road to building a career, BTS and RM have had to go through a lot of criticism and criticism, but it is these things that make the members strive harder than ever. Looking back at the comments disparaging BTS at that time, many ARMYs are now surprised by the cruelty of netizens that day.
Some wonder what those who have criticized BTS will think after seeing the group's success at the present time and surely many will be embarrαssed by what they have judged about BTS in the past:
- Looking at those comments, I suddenly realized what era I'm living in. Now I can't help but laugh. Thank you for creating Bangtan.
- The 700 commenters at that time must be embarrαѕѕed hahaha. It's so good to see this, Bangtan did well beyond their expectations hahaha.
- BTS proves that they deserve this name
- I thought that they will be ashamed because ever giving these comment about BTS
