:umjicry:... I hate that expression. Paved the way. Its basically a nice way to say, "I did it before you. Now bow down b**h"... But I digress.

How would we measure whether BTS "paved the way" for them though. I mean Psy was popular in the west for a minute like, what, 8 years ago. Did he pave the way for them?

PSY did not popularize KPOP in the West, BTS did. I'm not even an ARMY but I feel like this is obvious.

Better not start that discussion, some people think all groups that arent from Big Hit and try to promote in the west deserve a bash

It's a pretty flop expression, Kpop as a whole is trendy but when it comes to actual popularity it's only BTS and Blackpink that are popular so they can only argue over who paved the way for each other like they are doing

infrastructure is still grossly underfunded.
If BTS is paving the way, they failed miserably

I mean, eh? I don’t even care that much for BTS anymore and they are the reason I got into K-Pop.

I've always hated the expression... like god damn are y'all petty and annoying. You can say any groups paved something... you're just being an ass about it
