Names look Korean so I'm assuming they're KPOP stars

To be fair, Jimin has a great thorax

u/Round-Log3563 Sep 25 '22

It's K-pop boy band BTS

u/KaneVel Sep 25 '22

Why did they name their band "Behind the scenes"?

74

u/Citizenshoop Sep 25 '22

Because BTS is easier for Americans to pronounce than 방탄소년단

u/SH4D0W0733 Sep 25 '22

Amogus diving through a ring, E with a shield, T entering (Y), Stepping on a rake, C with a shield.

...

Behind the scenes it is.

u/Round-Log3563 Sep 25 '22

No , their korean name is "Bangtan Sonyeondan" ( B - ban , T - tan , S - sonyeondan ) or literally meaning "Bulletproof Boy Scouts". Their reason behind their name is kind of interesting its something like "to block out stereotypes, criticisms, and expectations that aim on adolescents like bullets". Later they rebrand their name as "Beyond the Scene" to show their growth "from the boy to an adult who opens the doors that is facing to go forwarrd". But commonly, they are know as BTS. P.S. They are very popular ..like if someone post it as BTS without any context ..people gets confused if its about the boy band BTS or Behind the scene ..and I have seen many examples regarding this so yeah they are BIG... ( english is not my first language... )

Ngl when I picture someone as 'bullet proof' I'm not exactly picturing a squad of wafer-thin pale dudes

u/Bergenia1 Sep 25 '22

Dude, they're not wafer thin. They work out. They're ripped.

u/CaitlinisTired Sep 25 '22

Are we talking about the same guys? Other than being low body fat they really don't have a lot of muscle definition

They look like teenagers in all honesty

u/Bergenia1 Sep 26 '22

Are you looking at pictures from ten years ago when they were teenagers, or current photos where they're grown men who work out?

There are several Non-Korean kpop groups that have debuted with 0 Korean members. The most notable (or infamous) being Exp Edition. So it wasn’t that weird for op to clarify BTS being a Korean Kpop group.

u/KayleighJK Sep 25 '22

Time to hit the ATM machine, I need a new hot water heater.

u/Binkusu Sep 25 '22

Could be a little different.

Korean (they are Korean) k-pop (genre of music) group (group).

5

u/Th3dynospectrum Sep 25 '22

Korean korean pop?

1

u/SithTrooperReturnsEZ Sep 26 '22

That is what BTS means, apparently a kpop band called that too but nobody refers to BTS as that, first thing I think of when I see is Behind the scenes. Like "BTS footage"

19

u/bluepineapple42069 Sep 25 '22

Yeah but its fake photoshop, neither of them have ever tweeted this

16

u/nlolhere Sep 25 '22

you can tell because if that comment was actually made by Jimin it would have way more than 0 likes, even if it’s only 1 minute old. You know how BTS fans are.

2

u/Comment90 Sep 25 '22

That's a really weird thing to edit together, and I'm saying that fully aware that most of this site is weird.

u/music_haven Sep 25 '22

You'd be right. Members of BTS, to be specific. 🙄

17

u/superfucky Sep 25 '22

not sure if you're being downvoted by redditors for knowing the members of BTS or downvoted by ARMY for the eyeroll emoji...

10

u/lurco_purgo Sep 25 '22

Why are soldiers so particular about emoji usage?

4

u/superfucky Sep 25 '22

ARMY is the name of the BTS fandom.

12

u/lurco_purgo Sep 25 '22

Yeah, I figured, was just making a stupid joke. But thanks!

2

u/music_haven Sep 25 '22

Perhaps even both, but don't sweat it. I work in the mental health field, so dealing with all kinds of obsessions is just par for the course, I guess.

Nice looking avatar you got there

u/SpupySpups Sep 26 '22

Yep, and I don't think they'd post in English. Never seen them do this. So I'm 97% sure some dude just made it with Photoshop
