BTS and Liam Payne (Image via @bts_bighit/Twitter and Getty Images) English singer-songwriter and former member of One Direction, has come under fire after appearing on a podcast where he made a number of remarks that even his own fans considered problematic. Payne was chastised for allegedly downplaying BTS' success when he appeared on - IMAPULSIVE, on Tuesday, May 31. Paul claimed at the start of the show that One Direction was the "biggest boy band of all time," and that no one had "replicated" their success, greatly overlooking BTS' global achievements. "Yeah, I think some of the K-Pop bands have kind of reignited the thing," Payne responded.

How did Liam Payne discredited BTS success

The singer ignored the impact BTS has made in the music scene worldwide and claimed that One Direction is the biggest boy band in the world. "You had such a rapid and global rise. So you're a member of One Direction, probably the biggest boy band of all time that has yet to be replicated." Paul did add that K-pop was an exception in general. Many felt it should not be in its own category, given the international success of Korean groups such as , as well as One Direction, a British boy band, on a global scale. Netizens were taken aback by Payne's implications. "Like I don't know if there's like... besides K-Pop," he said. ARMYs, in particular, felt that BTS had been shaded and vastly overgeneralized. Not to be that person but why are they acting like bts is not the most popular group nowadays, half of the kpop industry is way more successful than Liam Payne.

Fuck cishet racist white men Furthermore, many ARMYs were of the opinion that the comparison was ridiculous, going on to posit that BTS could replicate any One Direction song, whereas the reverse would not be possible, especially since BTS incorporates vigorous choreography with their numbers.
