 BTS paved the way?

What is "BTS paved the way" for the ARMY?

The traduction "Paved the way" is pave or smooth the way, even don't have only this meaning in the industry Kpop and especially for the ARMY because this phrase transmits another message that is important. 


“BTS paved the way” would mean that BTS opened, prepared, easier the way, and things for the industry Kpop. For example, succeed in abroad, and the South Korean music industry achieved enormous popularity.


Who's BTS?


BTS (Bangtan Sonyeondan) debuted in the summer of 2013 with the hip-hop song "No More Dream and is a K-pop boy band assembled by K-pop producer Bang Shi Hyuk of Big Hit Entertainment.


Known for their style and signature synchronized dancing, BTS is made of seven singers and rappers, including:

  • J-Hope (Jung Ho Seok)


Proof that BTS paved the way

  • First k-pop group on the cover of 'TIME' magazine

  • FirsK-pop group with several Guinness Records

  • k-pop group to be #1 on the Billboard chart

Opinions

People often mistake the statement "BTS Paved The Way" as 'discrediting' other artists. It is not a statement that discredits others. The impact BTS makes in this situation is a byproduct of BTS' success as an artist from Korea. It is a mere acknowledgment. The artists do require their own input and effect to make it big. Contrastingly, saying that BTS didn't pave the way is discrediting to the group. It is also pitifully humorous that non-Koreans who are plainly unaware of the whole context try to prove that BTS didn't pave the way because Korean media and the Korean public are the creators of this phrase in the first place. Questioning the statement even after the President of Korea implemented it multiple times, K-pop stars themselves agreed to it, one of Korea's biggest directors praised them, and Koreans themselves acknowledged and appreciated. Don't accept is a representation of incompetence to comprehend the simplest of things.




Conclusion


We have much proof, opinions, and demonstrations that BTS paved the way, so we can say that they were done with blood, sweat, and tears. From the first day to the present have been through a lot and even so they have never given up on their ARMY, they have always overcome any difficulty which makes the title "BTS paved the way" well deserved, but remember... At the end of the day, everyone is entitled to their own opinions. if you think SHINEE paved the way, you are absolutely correct. if you think BTS paved the way, you have never been wrong. if you think SNSD paved the way, thank you for being so honest. if you think Big Bang or EXO or 2ne1 or Super Junior paved the way then okay?? they did !!! — Serena ♡ (@WEISHENMARK) June 22, 2020

Global Warming by Gabriel Navarrete

  Global Warming Global warming is a phenomenon that occurs when the Earth's average temperature increases due to the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. These gases, such as carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide, trap the sun's heat and retain it on Earth, causing the global temperature to rise. This rise in temperature has serious and often irreversible consequences for our planet. Melting glaciers and rising sea levels can inundate coastal areas and cause loss of habitats and biodiversity. In addition, rising temperatures can lead to droughts, forest fires and more intense storms, affecting food production and people's quality of life. Global warming is mainly caused by human activity, such as the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation. It is important that we take steps to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions and protect our planet. We can do this by adopting more sustainable lifestyle practices, such as using public transportation or bicycles, eat...
