What does BTS have or what message does BTS send that has my daughter under its spell?

in #life7 years ago (edited)
Good afternoon, steemit community. Today my post is to see if you can help me solve a question that has been on my mind for months.

To begin and be brief, what I really want is for you to help me understand what BTS means, because I can't get a timely response to this group. First of all, BTS is a South Korean K-pop group that stands for Beyond The Scene, which refers to "the youth who open the door and walk towards their dream". In Korean his name is Bangtan Sonyeondan.

Since 2013, the group has seven members: Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V and Jungkook. Their fans or true fans are known as BTS Army, they have a website called FANCLUB Café and are able to do anything for their heroes, including moving to Korea to live near them, trying to speak their language, among other crazy things.

As I was able to read, it is very difficult to belong to your club and there is even a waiting list to be accepted. The requirements to be admitted include that they must have several objects identified with the BTS mark, such as albums, various photos. In fact, they must know more about Korean culture than they do about their own country of birth. I sometimes see this as dangerous because it can be seen as a search for dominance, or as a Korean weapon for the rest of the world.

And you may wonder why I know so much about this group? As a father, I have taken on the task of investigating, because I am concerned that my 14-year-old daughter is under a spell with it. I must say that my daughter is doing very well in her studies, she is excellent in everything, but I find it very interesting, for example, that she has to be picked up on working days to go to class, but it is enough for BTS to make a presentation and because of the time change she plays at 3 am, or very early in the morning, so that she gets up without much effort to see the group. Or prefer, for example, to stay at home without sharing with anyone and live close to the computer.

I know that every teenager goes through a stage where they fall in love with singers, with a group, with a sportsman, but I feel that my daughter is an exaggeration. Perhaps you will say that it is jealousy or unjustified concern and perhaps you are right, but I feel that the fascination that these 7 Koreans cause is not normal.

Well, I have to leave them because my daughter is asking me for my computer so she can connect to a chat where they will exchange BTS stories. What these guys really do is like hypnotizing their fans. The power they have in the so-called Armys impresses and even scares me.

Hello @baselogoo, Nice to meet you!

I'm a guide dog living in KR community. I can see that you want to contribute to KR community and communicate with other Korean Steemians. I really appreciate it and I'd be more than happy to help.

KR tag is used mainly by Koreans, but we give warm welcome to anyone who wish to use it. I'm here to give you some advice so that your post can be viewed by many more Koreans. I'm a guide dog after all and that's what I do!

Tips:

  • If you're not comfortable to write in Korean, I highly recommend you write your post in English rather than using Google Translate.
    Unfortunately, Google Translate is terrible at translating English into Korean. You may think you wrote in perfect Korean, but what KR Steemians read is gibberish. Sorry, even Koreans can't understand your post written in Google-Translated Korean.
  • So, here's what might happen afterward. Your Google-Translated post might be mistaken as a spam so that whales could downvote your post. Yikes! I hope that wouldn't happen to you.
  • If your post is not relevant to Korea, not even vaguely, but you still use KR tag, Whales could think it as a spam and downvote your post. Double yikes!
  • If your post is somebody else's work(that is, plagiarism), then you'll definitely get downvotes.
  • If you keep abusing tags, you may be considered as a spammer. It may result to put you into the blacklist. Oops!

I sincerely hope that you enjoy Steemit without getting downvotes. Because Steemit is a wonderful place. See? Korean Steemians are kind enough to raise a guide dog(that's me) to help you!

Woff, woff! 🐶

Hi, if you're so right, I'm not abusing you, I just wanted to reach out to the Koreans using your label, but if you think it's an abuse I'll undermine your label and apologize.

kr-guide!
