Some people say BTS did not pave the way because I don’t believe they truly understand the definition of “paved the way”. Also, they believe that by acknowledging BTS it somehow invalidates the successes and progress that other K-pop groups have made before them.
When I say BTS paved the way, I do not mean that other K-artists did not pave the way. People say BTS paved the way because the very definition of “paved the way” is to make progress or development easier, and therefore they paved the way for kpop. It does not mean they were the
first to do something (although BTS has a plenty of firsts under their belts).
Why people doesn't accept that BTS paved the way..?
Well because they can't accept the fact. That's all. Yes SUJU, Big Bang, SNSD broke into the US market but how much significant was that? Even after they broke into the US, how much media coverage they received?
How many radios played their songs? Did they sell out domes and stadiums? No. They just broke into the US market. That didn't help any of the 3rd gen groups to get famous in the US after them. Wonder Girls literally failed to cause an impact in the US market.
Their one song Nobody was a moderate hit.

Then came Psy. Do you know 70% of the people who listened to Gangnam Style didn't know it was kpop? Even I thought that was some Chinese stuff.
The song had good beats but more importantly, the guy in the video was acting funny and weird. Kpop was funny for Americans. They didn't respect kpop, they laughed at it. That one hit wonder stirred the world for sometime and eventually left the spotlight.
Then came BTS. No BTS isn't the first group to break into the US, but the first group to make kpop relevant to the world. People took them seriously and they got all the media coverage no one dreamt of. They made kpop relevant and made people look at kpop in a different way.
Yes, initially everyone was attracted for their looks but after listening to them, following them, people realize that BTS and kpop are so much more than just visuals. They're not considered some manufactured products here, but real artists
Because of them, NCT was invited to AMAs, Blackpink to Coachella. Recently even ATEEZ was promoted by the Grammys. Do you think all this would have happened without BTS' contribution? Their songs are still not played that much in the radios since they're still not completely-
mainstream here yet.

I'm actually amused by the fact that so many people here are commenting that BTS didn't pave the way when Sunmi, a 2ng gen kpop artist didn't even think twice before accepting the fact that BTS did pave the way.
At least we should know that she knows better than us as to who paved the way and who didn't.

Every single public defender. Every single day.


Bail arguments, motions, oral arguments, hearings. Judges don’t know, follow, or care about the law. Prosecutors are willing to take advantage of it. And mandatory minimums, withheld evidence, & pretrial detention coerces people to plead before trial. When theres a jury. A shot.

But defenders still fight. And still win. Most times wins aren’t “Justice.” It’s power of repetition of argument in front of same judges. Introducing those in power to the people they oppress. Not just a RAP sheet or words on a page. Defenders make it harder to be brutal & cruel.

I worked as a public defender at an office as well resourced as any in the country. Social workers, team of investigators, a reentry team, support staff, specialist attorneys in immigration, housing, education, family. Relatively low caseloads (80-100). And yet still injustice.

Most think that balancing the scales of justice means more funding for defenders. Thats part of it. Enough a attorneys to actually be at bail hearings. Wrap around services to be able to help people trapped in the system end up better off in their communities. Lower caseloads.

Once upon a time there was a Raja named Uttānapāda born of Svayambhuva Manu,1st man on earth.He had 2 beautiful wives - Suniti & Suruchi & two sons were born of them Dhruva & Uttama respectively.
#talesofkrishna https://t.co/E85MTPkF9W


Now Suniti was the daughter of a tribal chief while Suruchi was the daughter of a rich king. Hence Suruchi was always favored the most by Raja while Suniti was ignored. But while Suniti was gentle & kind hearted by nature Suruchi was venomous inside.
#KrishnaLeela


The story is of a time when ideally the eldest son of the king becomes the heir to the throne. Hence the sinhasan of the Raja belonged to Dhruva.This is why Suruchi who was the 2nd wife nourished poison in her heart for Dhruva as she knew her son will never get the throne.


One day when Dhruva was just 5 years old he went on to sit on his father's lap. Suruchi, the jealous queen, got enraged and shoved him away from Raja as she never wanted Raja to shower Dhruva with his fatherly affection.


Dhruva protested questioning his step mother "why can't i sit on my own father's lap?" A furious Suruchi berated him saying "only God can allow him that privilege. Go ask him"
