BTS is explored on 'Saku Saku Him Him' with hosts discussing their rise to fame, innovative strategies, and deep lyrics.

BTS (Bangtan Sonyeondan) will be deeply explored on NTV's 'Saku Saku Him Him ☆ The Night of the Favorite Falling'. Today, April 11 (Saturday) at 11:30 PM, Daisuke Sakuma (Snow Man) and Yuki Himura (Banana Man) will serve as MCs for 'Saku Saku Him Him ☆ The Night of the Favorite Falling'. The curious MCs Sakuma and Himura will freely investigate and ask why 'things currently favored throughout Japan' are so favored, while sometimes going off-topic... This is a 'favorite talk variety show' where they learn about the charm of various 'favorites' around the world. This time, they will delve into BTS, a seven-member boy group that has pushed K-POP to a global status and boasts overwhelming popularity. Since their debut in 2013, they have produced various hit songs and gained immense popularity worldwide. Although there was a hiatus starting in 2022 due to members fulfilling military service obligations, a world tour has been announced this year, marking the resumption of their activities after about four years. Sakuma mentions some hit songs like 'Dynamite' and 'Butter', but Himura shows a worried expression, asking, 'How many members are there again?' To teach Sakuma and Himura about BTS's charm, they welcome comedian Tsukasa Saito from the duo Trendy Angel, who became a fan after appearing with BTS and even received messages from the members on his social media. They also invite dancer NOSUKE (Team 'S'pecial'), who became a backup dancer for their Japan tour after dancing to their songs out of love for them, to uncover their appeal. Although BTS now has many fans worldwide, they were hardly noticed by the media at their debut. Since they did not debut from a major agency, BTS struggled to gain recognition even within South Korea. How did they grow into a global group? Together with Sakuma and Himura, they will delve into BTS's unique innovative hit strategies. While watching various VTRs about BTS, they will explain three key points of their appeal: 'BTS Hit Secret #1: Innovative SNS Strategy', 'BTS Hit Secret #2: Use of Korean Lyrics in Songs', and 'BTS Hit Secret #3: Deep Meaning in the Trilogy of Albums'. The tool that BTS utilized when they were not noticed by the media was SNS. Sakuma evaluates, 'BTS almost changed the (standards)', stating that their innovative SNS strategy has become a trigger for current idols and artists to utilize SNS. One of BTS's charms is the lyrics that express real emotions written in Korean. Sakuma praises the impressive lyrics that attracted many fans, saying, 'It seems many people are touched (in their hearts)', 'Wonderful!'. Furthermore, BTS conveyed a grand social message through their albums. Regarding the message contained in the popular album series 'LOVE YOURSELF', Himura is moved by the powerful words spoken by member RM at the United Nations, saying, 'That's wonderful'. As Sakuma and Himura learn about the unknown struggles and meticulous hit strategies of the popular group, their interest grows. Will even Himura, who was unfamiliar with BTS, become a fan...?
