BTS is currently the kσrєαn group with the most remarkable achievements in the US market as well as the only kσrєαn boy group to set the most first international records. The influence of BTS is considered the "biggest" in Kpop history.

Therefore, in the past, many artists have praised and talked about BTS being the Kpop group that paved the way for Kpop to enter the US market. However, it was these compliments that were later met with controversy because many people believed that BTS was not the one who paved the way for Kpop to be famous in this hot market.

But today, Seventeen's Hoshi showed fans a similar view of him along with a junior's opinions for BTS - the senior group:

It is not an exaggeration to say that BTS is currently the most famous and attractive boy group in Kpop. They filled the big concert stages in äṃệŕïċä, became global phenomenon and collaborated with big names. The group is also the first K-pop group to consecutively win awards at major awards ceremonies such as BMA, AMAs - 2/3 of the biggest award ceremonies in the US.

Besides, the group is also the first Kpop group to be nominated for 3 consecutive years at the Grammy... The group has really firmly positioned itself in the US and thanks to its influence, K-pop artists have many more opportunities to develop in the US since BTS was successful in the US.

Many argue that it is BTS who are the pioneers, paving the way for Kpop to become globally famous or more specifically, opening the opportunity to conquer the äṃệŕïċän music market for later groups. However, there are also opposing opinions such as that Wonder Girls, SNSD and especially PSY are the first kσrєαn artists working hard in the international market and opening the way to äṃệŕïċä for artists. doctor.

But above all, contrary to these, many artists acknowledge that they were able to reach the äṃệŕïċän dream because BTS opened up great opportunities. Typically, Sunmi - female singer of Wonder Girls, Jihyo of Twice and most recently Seventeen Hoshi when he had the opportunity to participate in Suchwita of BTS SUGA.

During a conversation about how Seventeen recently did their world tour concert in many countries around the world such as jäṗäń, Asian countries, and even in äṃệŕïċä, Hoshi mentioned that the group could promote more in the US thanks to BTS leading the way. He began that: "Thanks to you, we have a lot promotions in the states".

But soon, SUGA denied that BTS could help them. SUGA thinks it's because Seventeen did so well that they were able to expand their influence in the US but Hoshi went on to äṩṩert that SUGA and BTS are the ones who paved the way for K-pop in the US.

He said with certainty: “But you really created the environment. Honestly, we were only able to go on äṃệŕïċän TV Shows because of you". And even though SUGA denied that BTS wasn't really that influential, Hoshi continued to convince him that: "No, you need to know that you did.. everyone knows that the kpop industry was able to advance into states because of BTS".

Responding with embarräṩṩment, SUGA still praised Seventeen, saying, "But I think people got there based on their own talents. It was Seventeen's own sкιℓℓs and talents that you got there". I don't really think we had any part in that. I guessed we opened it up a little, but what happened after that, wasn't based on anything we did. We just opened the door a little."

And they concluded their argument with Hoshi once again äṩṩerting that everyone was sure that BTS was the one who paved the way for the influence of K-pop and K-pop groups in the US while SUGA felt grateful for his praise and touched by it. Maybe many groups have reached the US before, but BTS is probably the group that made the gate to äṃệŕïċä of later Kpop groups open wider. And that's exactly what most Kpop artists have in mind.

They had sincere respect and admiration for each other. That's the best thing about true artists together!
