David’s UN Speech is beautiful.

I started learning Hangul because of BTS. Speaking of Hangul if you were writing DKDKTV in the background why leave out the second 디? Lol I was just curious 😂

Me and my friend are a part of those who studied Hangul because of BTS. They definitely indirect promote Hangul.

That specific YouTubed went about Korean pride the wrong way. He might not like BTS or kpop but what he fails to see is how that pro

A couple of years ago my daughter says, watch this video... It was "Dope". I was very impressed with the dancing, but liked the music too. I watched some lyric videos to make sure my daughter wasn't being exposed to anything bad, and I fell head over heels with their message and them too. I started studying the language because I want to understand BTS' songs in their language and not just the translations. This guy is an idiot, did he even do any research on BTS' economic impact on Korea? Didn't I just read that it's like 7.8% of the total GDP. I could be wrong on my numbers but it was certainly significant. Why wouldn't you talk about that or be proud of how much attention and money they are bring to your country.

Wanted to give ya'll at least 12 hours early access... but then realized that I might wake up to seeing myself be cancelled tmr morning haha. Sorry guys, but gonna have to make this public now.

Actually my friend who's a Korean teacher in the US noted her student numbers double after BTS got big

I think 7.8% is a little overstatement haha... I mean Korea's economy is not that small. Anyway they do bring in a lot of foreign capital to Korea, and it's really a big help to the economy indeed.

I actually subscribed to your Patreon because of this video. This is exactly the type of opinion that I feel most people lack: the guy did mess up when he compared BTS to McDonald's, but he did have a few good points. I think the way BTS is spreading the korean culture is very unique and effective, I know a lot of people (myself included) that used to listen to k-pop casually, but after listening to BTS they started to take it seriously and dig into their music and culture.

Also, I remember when they went to the UN and the whole thing made into the biggest news channel here in Brazil. We are still a very racist country, it's rare that things outside of Brazil or USA make news here, so the fact that BTS went and brought attention to their culture like that was amazing.

His choice of words, facial expressions and body language tell me what I need to know. He thinks he’s incredibly smart, deep and ‘woke’, and he’s going to teach the unwashed masses how things really are. Seriously, it’s an ego trip and he choose BTS to piggyback it on but I don’t think the latter mattered to him.

your speech was amazing david, thankyou.
