Hello, we listen to your podcast every week and love it! We agree with you on most things – but not kpop! If you really want to understand the appeal of BTS, could I suggest you watch the YouTube video on the meaning behind the BRS song “Spring Day”. There are a lot of very deep songs, but this one has a few explanations, this is a link for one of them

Ok – I will repent – kind of on the next one….
Edit – BTS song Spring Day, not BRS (typo)
No one actually into kpop likes Dynamite 🙂
