1. [+387, -37] I'm in my mid-thirties and don't really have an interest in idols but I found out about BTS and how popular they are. Their popularity isn't just restricted to Asia but all over the world. I like that they're a boy group made up only of Korean members too.

2. [+232, -13] Amazing!!

3. [+222, -17] So cool, really

4. [+245, -29] BTS made it this far with nothing but hard work. All they need to do is keep it up and results will surely follow. Fans know how hard they've worked for this so I applaud them!

5. [+65, -2] It's this consistency that will blow BTS into something even bigger in the future

6. [+59, -1] As long as they keep promoting in Korea, I'm sure foreign markets like America will naturally take an interest just like how they were recently invited to the Billboard~
