>BTS is #1 on the Billboard top 100 charts at the moment. That don't mean much to you but it's kind of a big deal. This group is bigger than Jesus. That don't mean I idolize BTS or the Koreans. My wife probably does. She says that she wishes her Korean mom could have lived to see this.

I've seen a documentary about the Korean pop scene. It's extremely
nasty. The young artists are complete slaves to the record companies.
I don't think stuff like this happens in the western music industry.
At least not THIS bad. That's irrelevant to girlies who like to jump
around to that music, of course.
