I did a lil bit research here & there to find why bts is so pop. Unlike your usual rockstars who glamourize drugs, depression, self harm, anarchy, suicide & other self destructive shit, bts make songs about mental health, bullying from positive outlook. They also do shit like "study with us" sessions

BTS came from a small company, they started with nothing. Jin who was casted just because of his looks, Suga who left his family and gambled his education just to do what he really wanted to be, Namjoon who was never have been supported by his parents, Jimin who thought himself as ugly and fat, Taehyung whose always been part of BTS but was never shown in any promotions- not until they debut, Hoseok who seemed to always laugh but never felt as an accomplishment to his father, And Jungkook who was very shy and have saved his parents at a young age by auditioning to companies. Remember the days when they were struggling? They even have to sacrifice and work hard just so they could eat? They were squeezing themselves into one small apartment and have to take responsibilities- the reason why they wrote the song 'Move'. Those times when Jimin has to starve himself just because people calls him fat and ugly. That one interview where Yoongi said that; it was nice that people listens to their music because Taehyung and Jungkook are good looking. And he thought that it was at least enough. Do you remember when Hoseok was supposed to be the vocalist and Taehyung is the rapper, but he chose to rap instead and learn it because Taehyung wants to be a Vocalist. It was Taehyung's dream and Hoseok loves his dongsaeng that much he would sacrifice. Other fan base were accusing them for plagiarism just because they had the smallest detail whose the same with other big K-pop group which is actually just a coincidence. There was a time when Yoongi packed 300 gifts and letters just to give to their 300 fans who will attend at their mini fan meetings. So why do people judge them so quickly? Did you know that Jimin came all the way to Seoul from Busan just to persuade his dreams? Did you know that Taehyung lived with his grandma gor almost half of his life making him innocent from what else is out there in our world? Did you know that Jungkook set aside his embarrassment just to meet the others expectations? Yes, he is the golden maknae, but he suffers too when he see his hyungs having a hard time, he cries. And there was a time when Jimin caught him crying and the reason is because he misses his family. Jungkook often cry secretly so that his hyungs wouldn't worry. Did you know that Jin auditioned to make his mother proud of him and so that his mom would have something to brag off to those judgmental neighbors they have. He worked hard on his vocals yet people called him talentless. Did you know that Namjoon worked hard just to produce songs yet there was a time when his mom ruined his computer and broke his mike so he could focus on studying? Did you know that Hoseok auditioned because he wanted his father to be proud of him? Because he felt like he was a disappointment? Those rookie days where they only listen to the awardings and be amazed by their seniors. They can't do anything but to watch those idols who receives the awards. The days when they were happy with just 300 views on YouTube, mini fangatherings, small numbers of followers, and one Daesang award. They were contented. And now they've reached to the top and became more successful. From 150 fans to 16M and counting, From a small practice room to a bigger one, From cramped dorm with roommates to big dorm with each of them having a room, From one daesang award to more awards and they've even won on BBMAs. BTS never expected this before their fourth year anniversary, they've come so far- so far that the only chance we have to see them is to go to their concertor (NEVER) meet them along the street with 0.01% chance. But really ARMYs! We've came this far fam, let's love them and give them our support till the end! I wanted to thank y'all. I love you fam! I love BTS. Let's stay together until the end. If you believe in what I've said. If you believe in 1! 2! 3! A true ARMY shall spread

Jennie - Blackpink
The 25-year-old Blackpink star was recently the target of a US$30,000 billboard ad set up by Filipino social media influencer, Christian Albert Gaza, who is a self-proclaimed No 1 Jennie fan. Placed near the YG Entertainment building in Seoul, the ad reads, “Kim Jennie Ruby Jane, you are my ultimate crush. Can I take you out to dinner and make me the happiest man alive?” in both Korean and English.
Nayeon - Twice
If you’re a Twice fan, you may be familiar with the Twitter handle @Josh1994. The German sasaeng fan has been known to have stalked and harassed member Nayeon since the end of 2019. The agency representing Twice, JYP Entertainment, filed a lawsuit against him after he repeatedly went to the headquarters of the agency and published Twice member Chaeyoung’s phone number, according to Kbizoom. But the ban on the diehard fan was lifted in March 2020, with JYP announcing that it would tighten security around the member, reports Kbizoom.
Despite the measures taken to protect the 26-year-old singer, @Josh1994 has been persistent; he recently posted a video saying he’s waiting for his Covid-19 test results so that he can visit Korea and see Nayeon again. As a result, fans have since been trying to get JYP Entertainment’s attention through emails, urging them to protect Nayeon’s safety.
Ateez
Just last month, Ateez became a victim of sasaeng fans when the members discovered tracking devices attached to their business vehicles. The group’s agency, KQ Entertainment, released a statement notifying fans about the incident, promising legal action.
EXO
Sasaengs rented out a van identical to EXO's van and parked it in front as they came out from a schedule. They almost entered the van but their manager noticed something was off and stopped them.

Wanna One
After MAMA 2018, a flight from Hong Kong to Seoul was forced to deplane all its passengers due to Wanna One sasaengs who had boarded only to see the group. After they'd rushed the boys at their seats, the people insisted on leaving the plane and getting a refund, although it meant everyone would have to get off and re-board.
TVXQ!
TVXQ! were victims of sasaeng behaviour on too many occasions to count. Sasaengs did everything from making a copy of the key to the idol group's apartment, breaking in and kissing the members while they slept, to freezing their phone account and going through the call history to look for any girls' numbers, tapping their phones, causing car accidents and even bodily harm to members - including throwing rocks at Changmin.

Jeno - NCT
K-pop idols are no stranger to phone calls from obsessive fans – especially NCT Dream member Jeno. Early in 2020, NCT Dream members Renjun, Jeno and Chenle held a casual live broadcast, interacting with fans and talking among themselves. However, throughout the whole broadcast, 21-year-old Jeno’s phone rang more than 20 times with sasaeng calls, causing Renjun to pick up and tell the fan to stop calling and harassing Jeno.Ateez

11 Extremely Disturbing Sasaeng Stories From Idols - Quietly
K-Pop Idols receive so much love from everyone but some cross the line between love and obsession and suffocate their beloved idols

11 intense stories of over-obsessive sasaeng fans
Sasaeng is a familiar word for any fans of K-pop, but for those who don't know, it refers to people who exhibit obsessive, dangerous and stalker behaviour towards idols. K-pop idols have to deal with all kinds of scrutiny, but sasaengs cross the line from supporting their idols to harassing and...
I remember that josh guy. Funny thing is he's not even a fan of Twice. He just has this weird obsession with Nayeon.
For anyone wondering "why do they do all this, they can't possibly think this'll endear them to their idols?" The kicker is they don't. Most of them are so far gone that they don't actually care about their idols liking them very much. It's about being remembered by the idol and making an impression, more than what a typical fan would get. Even if that impression is "eww it's that fucking stalker again". The whole 'any attention is better than no attention' adage.

Sasaeng are usually female, starting as young as 13 to about 22, and they have made it their life's goal to make sure they are noticed by their idols, by hook or by crook.
Top K-wave stars targeted include male groups and stars like JYJ, TVXQ, B2ST, Jang Geun Suk, Big Bang, Super Junior, SHINee and SS501′s Kim Hyun Joong.
Korean managers speaking to Korean media have revealed that popular stars have between 500 to 1,000 sasaeng fans. On any given day, the stars have at least 100 full-time stalkers on their heels.
An ex-idol manager told Korean news entertainment site Newsen that stars have woken up and opened their doors in the morning to find urine and faeces on the floor.
"It's as if they are marking their territory," he said.
He admitted that he has had to hit a sasaeng for the security of his charges.
"After the schedules are finished, hundreds of fans swarm in. One member even used to get pulled around by the hair. I had no choice but to use violence," he said, adding that even the use of insecticide spray does not deter them.
"Fans actually feel proud of it. I've seen some say 'I was hit by our oppa's manager.' Sasaeng fans think that violence and verbal assaults are a way of getting closer to their favourite idol," he told Newsen.
According to Korean online news site OhMyNews, the lucrative sasaeng industry has prompted the opening of companies specialising in helping sasaeng stalk their stars when they are physically unable to.
"Sasaeng fans are stalkers. They're not normal, they've mentioned killing someone, and even themselves. Some even ask us to find out what color clothes their idols wear to bed," revealed one such company employee.
According to him, one sasaeng even offered to fork out $100,000 USD if the company could steal her idol's underwear.

‘Sasaeng Stalkers’ (Part 1): K-pop fans turn to blood, poison for attention

Many think the K-Idol industry is quite bad in terms of exploiting young teens. But even they have age limits and have to wear safety shorts on stage in order to stop upskirt photos and videos. The most Netizens have to worry about are improper concepts for younger girls.
But thats nothing compared to the J-Idol industry, where there are local teams of underage girls performing publicly.
Some even do Swimsuit fashion shows on a public stage. Where the eldest is 12
Now who would be fans of this you might wonder? Well... you're probably not wondering at all are you.
So yeah. Maybe South Korea don't have it so bad after all?

Japanese Sasaeng Gets Ignored By Her Idols
A Japanese sasaeng fan of the group HiHi Jets exposed members Hashimoto Ryo and Sakuma Ryoto after she was ignored by them.
The sasaeng fan revealed her story, beginning by saying how she was a fan of the group, especially Sakuma Ryoto, but because she was not pretty, she was ignored by him and the other HiHi Jets members, and wasn’t able to get pictures with them.
In order to become prettier, she got plastic surgery, and planned her revenge. She purposely contacted Hashimoto Ryo in order to try and get closer with Sakuma Ryoto, and they went on a several outings together, one to Disneyland and one with some other male celebrities. Sakuma Ryoto had no idea that she was the “not-pretty” fan that the group previously ignored.
In the end, Sakuma Ryoto discovered that both he and Hashimoto Ryo were being used by the sasaeng, and he dumped her. However, Hashimoto Ryo was unable to let go of his relationship with the sasaeng, and continued to stay in contact with her
The girl then retaliated to being dumped by Sakuma Ryoto by leaking photos of the underage idols smoking and drinking alcohol, and even sleeping in bed with them.

Seoul has become the unofficial plastic surgery capital of the world, with as many as one in three South Korean women thought to have gone under the knife, according to The New Yorker. The city even has an "Improvement Quarter" where there are reportedly as many as 500 clinics within a square mile offering a variety of procedures at increasingly affordable prices. The nation's obsession with surgery is, thanks in no small part, due to its music scene, where cosmetic enhancements have become the norm.
Countless K-pop stars have had their noses done, and some even have their jaws broken and shaved into a V-shape to create a more feminine appearance. The most common procedure is double eyelid surgery, which creates a more Western-looking eye. "In Korea, eyelid surgery is regarded as a gift from parents to congratulate graduation from high school to university," a Gangnam-based plastic surgeon told Business Insider. "Korea is a hugely competitive society and in the job market, a beautiful face is a great weapon."
In March 2017, four-member girl group Six Bomb (previously a six-member group, hence the name) made the boldest statement on plastic surgery in the history of K-pop, releasing a pair of songs documenting their surgical transformations. In one of the videos, the girls dance around an operating room singing about the joys of surgery as they reveal their new faces. Six Bomb's record company, Pacemaker Entertainment, spent an estimated 100 million South Korean Won (about $93,000) on the stunt. The girls got "almost every kind of surgery that could be done on a face," as well as breast enlargements, according to their manager, Kim Il Woong.
"We all wanted to get some surgeries done to look prettier ... and thought, 'Why not perform a song about it instead of trying to conceal it?'" lead singer Dain told AFP (via BBC). "People will notice it anyway, so we wanted to be open about this reality where many women want to look pretty." The group's rapper, Soa, admitted that she had to think "long and hard" about the decision, but in the end, none of the girls were reportedly forced to go under the knife.
The reaction has been a largely negative one, with many fans suggesting that the money would have been better spent on Six Bomb's production quality rather than its members' appearances.

Sponsorship is the dirty, barely kept secret of the Korean entertainment industry. Every entertainment industry has some form of the casting couch, yes, but there are few that come close to the systematic way that it is present in South Korea. It is not only present, but it is easily available, with organizations and ‘clubs’ dedicated to using low ranked and rookie celebrities and delivering them to wealthy and important men. These men would then sponsor the celebrity, giving her designer and expensive stuff, and would help her get roles and commercials, in return for one little thing — sex.
The highest level, the tenpro, which roughly means ‘ten percent.’ These are the supposedly top ten percent women in the industry. They are the most beautiful, have the best bodies, best personalities, and cost the most. It is in tenpros that wealthy businessmen get their private pleasure.
It is also in tenpros where you can find “failed celebrities,” rookie actresses, idols and models, or those aspiring to get into the entertainment industry — all who serve the rich and powerful of South Korea. Some, if not, most, of these clubs require an invitation to get in. It is highly regulated, so that the privacy of the wealthy men and the potential celebrity is kept secret.
This is where the vicious cycle of celebrity sponsorship starts. In 2010, the National Human Rights Commission of Korea conducted a survey of 111 actresses and 240 aspiring actresses. Two-thirds responded that they were told to have sex with a prominent figure who would then give her an advantage. Half reported that they were put at a disadvantage if they declined, and the other half had gained assistance when they complied.
seoulbeats.com
While many already knew about female celebrity sponsors, not many people ever thought male celebrities faced these problems too.
The documentary interviewed an anonymous male idol trainee who revealed the details of his encounter with a rich woman sponsor.
When they first met, the rich Korean woman sponsor showered the idol with gifts and also gave him an allowance.
Since he had no other means of an income, he was tempted to accept the allowance since she was gladly offering.
Once the woman almost completely earned his trust, she then offered to gift him a relatively large sum of money.
Around 4 months later, the woman messaged the trainee to come over to her house because she was lonely.
