Even without the views theyre really huge. They're bigger than Bad Bunny No argument there. I did some googling and acknowledge their popularity. Popularity isn’t the same thing as quality.

They have been around officially since 2013. They have sold I would roughly estimate 25 Million Albums globally since then and that's not counting individual single song sales. Their newest song "Permission to Dance" almost has 100 Million Views on Youtube. It dropped two days ago. The song before that "Butter" released a month ago and is is over 450 Million Views and counting. These are their most recent singles drops. DNA (Their most viewed video at 1.3 BILLION views) released three years ago. I'm not even a big fan of BTS but dude it takes one google search. They are and have been some of the biggest modern stars in the entire world lol. I was mistaken and used bad phrasing. I think I was going for a more Backstreet Boys/Nsync comparison. Semi-related; I don't look much into YT views because they are, to me, artificial. How are they more artificial than a stream on Spotify? Genuine question. They contribute to chart placement now as well. No argument there. I did some googling and acknowledge their popularity. Popularity isn’t the same thing as quality. No, but in fairness, that's at least partially because one of them isn't measurable in any sense at all due to being totally subjective.

The only reason I know about them is because my boyfriend loves BTS. I've still never heard one of their songs all the way through, as they've never interested me. Way too manufactured for my liking, and their fan base is super toxic from my experience.
That being said them doing the National Anthem for WM would be a sight to see, and would draw in a LOT of interest.

Yeah because that worked sooo well when WCW ended the show with a KISS Concert.

I'm not sure what the crossover between WWE fans and BTS fans is. I live in middle America and I'm outside of their target demo, but I do listen to one of the three modern pop stations we get here (compared to the 500 country and Christian stations), and I've never heard any of those stations play one of their songs. Not to say they aren't popular, but in many areas in the U.S. you'd have to specifically be searching online for their music, the radio stations aren't going to expose you to it. If WWE were to bring them for a performance I'd be mindful of which city and state I did that in. New York and L.A. would likely give them an entirely different reception than Kentucky and Alabama or parts of Florida, etc. We don't need the U.S. (and pro wrestling) involved in another embarrassing international incident with idiot fans booing a beloved foreign musical act.
Also, I doubt BTS performing at Wrestlemania or SummerSlam would be enough to entice a lot of their fans who may not be WWE fans to tune into Raw the next night and watch 3 hours of bad and boring TV.

Even without the views theyre really huge. They're bigger than Bad Bunny How the hell have I not heard of an act that has sold 25 million copies? I used to know loads about the music scene...Anyway, yeah they're clearly a very popular act. Honestly it's not that unusual. Fame is a lot more fractured than it used to be. A YouTuber can have millions of subscribers and be a complete nobody outside their sphere of influence. And music is basically the same. It's a lot easier to ignore scenes you're not part of and be completely out of the loop with than it used to be. Honestly as a metalhead I knew f*** diddly about what was going on in pop music until I started watching Anthony Fantano and Todd in the Shadows a few years ago.
