BTS is the only active group from 2013?

Pann: BTS is the only active idol group debuted in 2013

1. [+98, -1] I think "surviving" is an accurate word for the entertainment industry. When BTS debuted, their article titles had "survive" in them and the comments were all teasing them. But they did survive. Not just survive, they killed it...

2. [+97, -0] It's interesting that so many idol groups debuted in 2013 and only one group survived and managed to become the top group. I expected there to be a lot of active groups from 2013 but BTS really is the only one.

3. [+96, -2] Boys' Republic and BTS debuted together but only BTS did well ㅠㅠ I used to confuse both so much... I wonder how the other group is doing.

4. [+44, -0] It's scary and sad. Imagine finding that all the fellow singers have disappeared. Experiencing the industry getting filled with new faces must be such a lonely, tough job ㅠㅠ

5. [+31, -0] BTS survived so stubbornly. They're amazing. The people who reached the top in their fields are really something. The entertainment industry is really tough and they're from a small agency and turned it into a major agency. I respect them as a person.

6. [+26, -3] I think BTS is also lucky. They debuted in 2013 but they won a rookie award, got good responses with Boy in Luv, and became popular with I Need U in 2015. They hit big with Fire and Blood Sweat Tears in 2016 and have been doing well since. They struggled in 2013 and have been popular since. Honestly, EXO is from a major agency but their debut song got no response.

7. [+20, -3] It's cruel how people define BTS' success as pure luck.

8. [+20, -1] I remember a hateful comment saying "These guys will also disappear quietly" and RM replied and said they'll survive.
