![]() What sucks to me, is seeing armys often calling smaller groups (that are facing the same hardships bts went through at some point) flops or blindly accusing them of plagiarism or copying bts, attacking them and shoving bts achievements on their throats, which honestly makes me think if they are there for the boys, for their music and messages or for their popularity. It's not an only-bts thing, it's the fate that unfortunately every group from unknown companies have to face. but a lot of groups go through the same thing and are still facing these hardships. I think we shouldn't discredit them, it's true that at some point they almost disbanded, it's true that they had a hard time to make some money and promote their music, it's true that they had people insult them and telling them they're not gonna make it right in front of them, it's true that they had their songs cut from shows, it's true that they were falsely accused of things they never did. I believe as fans we tend to take everything at heart and exaggerate when we talk about our faves, BigHit too can't go one year without promoting their humble beginnings. They do a lot of covers to keep their fans fed and they go busking on the streets, but still no recognition or whatsoever. They never had props for their stages, they were able to decorate the stage just with this comeback (nothing huge but still), they even tried to participate in survival shows like The Unit and Mixnine, and one member even made it in the final line up of the group, but UNB was not promoted well and they disbanded before people even knew they were a thing so at the end of the day, they gained nothing from it. ![]() ![]() This group debuted in 2017, and just with this latest comeback they were finally allowed to perform their entire song without cutting out pieces of it, they were never invited to shows like Weekly Idol or any other variety show so they try to compensate with a lot of vlives and try to be as much entertaining as possible. I noticed BigHit is also pushing TXT a lot in Japan, I guess they prioritize Japan a lot in their marketing decisions but it definitely payed off.Īlso, now that I started stanning a different nugu group who's company was created just for them (so no connections to any market prior to their debut) I can definitely see the difference. So yeah, I'm pretty sure that by the time BTS debuted BigHit had already created strong relations and connections with the Japanese market, that's why BTS got a fast recognition there. Before BTS I used to stan Glam, the first girl group under BigHit that officially disbanded in 2015 but was pretty much inactive since BTS's debut, what I can tell you for sure is that BigHit focused a lot on the Japanese market with Glam, they even played a role on Vocaloid, one of the biggest Japanese projects, with the introduction of the first Korean vocaloid ("SeeU" who's voice actor was a member of Glam Dahee, I was a huge otaku and through Glam I was introduced to kpop).
