"BTS is really responsible for letting Korea be known to the world."

"This is so real... When I went to Los Angeles, a lot of foreigners asked me if I was Korean and when I said 'yes, I'm Korean', they asked me if I know BTS. LOLL."

"But if you go overseas, everyone is like that for real. Lolll. Only people from our country [Korea] are like 'why them?!' but if you go overseas, everyone views BTS positively."

"When I went to Turkey last year, they talked about 'Squid Game' a lot."

"Even foreigners who don't know Korean singers all know BTS. Seriously, BTS were made fun of for their group name when they debuted, but I am so happy they ended up well."

"When I was eating in Spain, a couple sitting next to me talked to me first and asked me 'do you know BTS?' "

"So proud."

"The world is divided into before and after BTS.”

"Don't send them to the army, please."
