The New York Times write about BTS !!!

K-pop has finally gone to No. 1.
“Love Yourself: Tear,” the new album by the Korean boy band BTS, has opened at No. 1 on the Billboard album chart. This makes it the first entrant of the exuberant Korean K-pop genre to reach the top of the album chart, six years after Psy’s song and video “Gangnam Style” brought the style to the American mainstream.
“Love Yourself: Tear” had the equivalent of 135,000 sales in the United States in its first week out, of which 100,000 were copies sold as a full album, according to Nielsen; streams and downloads of individual tracks made up the rest. The seven-member group, which has been steadily building its American fan army online, performed its hit “Fake Love” at the Billboard Music Awards last week, where BTS also won top social artist.
