Lol there are actual kpop fans here in the US. Some undercover, but I've been a kpop/jpop fan since like 08. Im Just glad it's getting more traction in the US, hallelujah.

Maybe we're getting older and we're not their target-audience. But all little brothers of my friends (10-15 y.old) are fascinated with BTS and this song, the most talked thing between them.

This will hardly be a hit outside their fanbase. It's their best attempt, though, as they are clearly following chart trends and singing in all English. It's just so generic...

Am 18 - everyone I know has heard of BTS. If you haven’t, you live in a hole. I still haven’t met one person (that isn’t an ARMY) that can name a single song by them, though. There’s name recognition, but the songs don’t have widespread success. The only BTS song I recognized when going through their catalogue for the first time was the whistle riff from “DNA”. Similar thing with BLACKPINK, to a lesser extent. No other k-pop group is as big as those two. Also - I like this song now! If I skip the still-atrocious first verse, it becomes a bop. The deep voice guy makes me feel things

The deep voice guy makes me feel things I believe BLACKPINK has a way bigger western appeal though. Everyone here has heard their songs and they are pretty common in gym's playlists. Everyone knows who the girls are and even if they don't know the name of the songs, people can still mouth the lyrics and do some of their most iconic choreo (guns in DDD, riffle in KTL...)

deepston Maybe we just hang w different people? Even less people recognize BLACKPINK in my experience. They’re not A List like BTS is, though everyone has probably seen at least one fancam by now. Idk if I know their names...? Jennie, Jisoo, Lisa and the other one. BTS has way more members, I just know Jimin, Jungkook, & RM from memory.

I can assure you that the GP in Europe knows Blackpink way more than BTS, mostly because of their collabs with Dua and Gaga. not you forgetting the iconic rosé, though. delete your account :'(

Sorry about Rosé, I suppose I must educate myself ;(

most people in my circles who keep up with modern music releases know of BTS. I'd say a lot of us young millennials are aware of the prominence of k-pop and know a couple songs, even. I know several of my friends that really enjoyed BLACKPINK after they saw the girls live at Coachella. My friends who like Nicki Minaj, Halsey, Charli XCX, Becky G etc all know BTS thanks to their collabs. They aren't as unknown as some posters make it out to be, but also important to note that this is anecdotal evidence so it isn't conclusive, lol.

My local station WXKS FM Boston played this on the hour last Friday. I haven't heard them play it since then. It will be interesting to see the updates after the 8th day.

I'm honestly interested in seeing how far they'll drop after their inevitable #1 debut. Maybe it'll be Wap vs this? Views on the 1st video are already going down pretty hard& the 2nd video isn't doing that well in streams at all(in BTS terms at least).
Like the song isn't bad per se(though the chorus being sung in that high of pitch irks me to no end), but I still haven't 100% enjoyed a comeback of theirs since Idol.

I like this song now. It was 69 cents and my friends daughter does BTS reaction videos on youtube. At first I thought it sounded a bit to childish for me but I ended up liking it after a few listens. Maybe it really is the first verse that's throwing me off??? By the end of the song I think it sounds like a happy Bop!

I dunno how it is in The US but even here where K-Pop is pretty much mainstream and widespread across age groups, Blackpink got much more radio plays and their songs are more recognizable than BTS' despite BTS itself being very famous here.

Look even though I'm really not into K-pop, at the very least it's great to see some diversity on Pop radio.

This sounds like a mix between Maroon 5, Jason Derulo and DNCE. This is the first time I have heard a BTS song. It's fine but not my cup of tea.

Ok the performance of this song is impressive so far! Radio is eating it up and it isn't dropping much on streaming, surprisingly

This is a great pop song but definitely don't deserve the top spot with like 5 discounted versions on itunes, countless videos and payola. They really have devoted fanbase, don't they?
