i used to LOOOOVEEE BTS. I even went to their concert in london in 2019 and they got me through some rough times. I enjoyed their stuff starting from debut and they reached their peak with DNA. my fave era of theirs was the most beautiful moments and my favourite song was dope
I hate how commercial stuff like dynamite, permission to dance etc is!! I stopped really caring when ON came out. I don't consider myself a fan or keep up with their content at all but it was fun when it lasted.
Blackpink were always iffy for me, the fanwars with ARMY were intenseee. I also preferred Gen 2 girl groups (EXID my faves, also girls gen, 2ne1, etc.) but they are easily the most solid g3 gg. When i was into kpop they had barely any songs and YG was being sketchy and people were so annoying calling Jennie lazy. They're no less people than we are!! I think I also liked Twice more but quickly their songs became identical. BP songs I've heard are very distinct.
Also, their lightstick solos. YG is amazing with their lightstick designs lol
