Yonghwa from CnBlue says otherwise:

Even Seo Taiji who is a legend in Korea says otherwise:

Interviewers say otherwise:

And not just once:

Woldwide dancers say otherwise:

Even staff says otherwise:

Look at Jungkook helping clean up when other idols just left the trash behind

Even that turtle in HAWAII will tell you otherwise:

If you don’t like BTS don’t listen to their music, don’t state up fake facts Brr ~

Sure, I get that is how the industry works and making connections is the way to gain a bigger audience worldwide. But literally claiming every snapchat or collaboration or mention of BTS by another Western artist as the artist being obsequious in order to weasel their way into Eastern culture and reach a wider following makes it come across that you only think BTS are worth the interactions for their money and status. Remember that these Western artists are musicians too, and so, of course, they are going to pay their respects and perhaps try to learn more about BTS, the first Korean pop group in history to make it as nominees, nonetheless win an award on the Billboard Music Awards. That does not mean that they are prying for an opportunity to take advantage of the boys’ fame for their own sake.
