I can kind of understand why BTS was even mentioned.

Given the sheer symbolic significance of a direct comparison with BTS, it seems like a remark that could lead to mixed reactions from the fandom and the general public.
Since this is a team that has demonstrated strong influence in the global market for a long time, it seems inevitable that they will generate a lot of buzz the moment their name is mentioned.

However, looking at the recent reactions, it seems that many people are taking this as a discussion about the current achievements or atmosphere rather than a simple comparison.
I could definitely feel their presence in various aspects, such as stage influence, buzz, and the size of their fandom.

Ultimately, the key point seems to be that both artists are demonstrating distinct colors and influence in their respective fields.
Maybe that's why, even though opinions among fans are diverse, it seems like the overall atmosphere is one of looking forward to future activities even more haha.
