Article: This is why BTS is who they are, prioritized meeting fans instead of the after party

1. [+1,192, -22] They're kids who surprise you the more you get to know them
2. [+1,129, -18] I remember last year they were on V app instead of the after party too. I personally hoped they would just go and enjoy the party ㅠㅠ thank you for always thinking of Armies
3. [+1,014, -15] BTS just keeps setting records... They made my heart feel so full and proud today!!!
4. [+82, -1] I remember all those hard days in the past. Just because they were from a smaller agency, fans had to work harder to buy their albums and get them a rookie award and yet everyone accused us of sajaegi just because our agency isn't powerful. It was through all that sorrow and pain that they kept growing and growing and getting more popular. We know that they're extra cautious with their actions because they love their fans and don't want fans to be caught up in misunderstandings... which just cause fans to go crazy in love with them more...
5. [+80, -2] You're going to need achievements like this to be able to use headlines like "swept America", "shook up the world"... I'm tired of all the singers who media played off of their Hallyu popularity
6. [+69, -0] They said over a dozen, hundred times that the award was thanks to Armies, they're kids who truly make their fans feel happy
7. [+67, -0] They claim to love their fans no matter how much their position has changed. It might sound so simple but it's the hardest thing to do. Congratulations!! And hopefully this comeback will be the start of more happy promos in Korea too.
8. [+59, -0] I know some people are upset that they didn't go to the after party but their network is big enough... There are so many famous international artists who want to collab with them and BTS is just too busy to even do them all. A lot of worldwide staff participated in their new album and their newly contracted American agency has promotions and distributions underway that can't even compare to their previous releases. BTS is a group that got this far without network but through skills, effort, and character alone. Do you think all it takes is networking and singing English songs for an Asian artist to get this far?? No, BTS has done something no other has been able to. They don't have to attend parties, they don't have to go around networking. John Legend is already taking a BTS CD out of his bag and asking for an autograph. The members are also not drinkers so I don't think they'd be able to fit in with the party environment anyway... I think they did well to leave.
9. [+54, -0] I honestly thought they won the award due to having a lot of Asian fans... but it seems not the case after seeing so many American stars taking selcas with them. I personally find their song lyrics cringe but they're very catchy with good rhythm.
10. [+49, -1] Either way, the members don't drink ㅋㅋㅋㅋ and if they do, it's a couple glasses at most... I'm so glad to always be sharing this joy with them on V app after these events. So proud to be a fan of these superstars. Fighting~ let's fly higher, further~~
