BTS, who started the performance with ``RUN'', performed their signature songs such as ``No More Dream'', ``Danger'', ``I NEED U'', and ``Butterfly'', as well as ``FIRE'' and ``Save ME''. They also enthusiastically sang new songs from the special album, such as ``EPILOGUE: Young Forever.''
Major local media intensively reported on this visit by BTS, drawing attention. Taiwanese media introduced ``BTS'' as ``Taiwan's most popular group.''
Meanwhile, BTS plans to continue their Asian tour on the 18th at Studio City Center in Macau.

I don't listen to much music other than K-POP. More than 80% of my music is from girl groups, and I write about it on my blog.

I'm mostly satisfied with that, but when I see words online saying that K-Pop's popularity is a fabrication or an illusion, I sometimes find myself focusing on boy group music.

This is because the articles and information about the rise of K-Pop are overwhelmingly more about boy groups than about girl groups. The number of concerts and overseas tours performed by boys is far greater than that of girls. It's hard for girls to break five fingers, but when it comes to boys, it's even harder to control a touring group.

Of course, I didn't know that BTS was performing in Taiwan.
The article states that it was a huge success, attracting 8,000 fans.
But is it true?
The article says it's a "huge success," but isn't that a "lie"? Isn't it written as "8,000 people" when it was actually held at a venue that had a capacity of 3,000 people?
Some of you may already be laughing after reading this. But there is more to come. What does K-POP's "fabrication" refer to? Since it is a "fabrication", if the K-POP tour's "success" is reported, then the "fabrication" is continuing.
Therefore, there has to be a post saying that BTS' performance in Taiwan is a ``big lie.''
When will it come out...?

Since I follow the music of K-Pop girls, I don't care whether BTS performs in Taiwan or not, whether it's a success or not.
I watch ``BTS'' from time to time, and I think they have a great talent for both dance and music.
