Ryan Seacrest Explains Just How Much Of A Global Phenomenon BTS Is
Ryan Seacrest was asked to explain why BTS is so popular internationally, and he did his best by saying, “it’s a true global phenomenon, I can’t explain it!”
Ryan was asked as a “media superstar” by ABC7‘s George Pennacchio after A.R.M.Ys rallied together to support the #RoarForChange campaign, helping to hit their target of $1 million!
Ryan Seacrest first realized the power of BTS when the boys came to his station, KIIS-FM, for an interview in November 2017. He said A.R.M.Ys were the most dedicated fans he had ever seen.
So, #BTSARMY – after the overwhelming support you showed me with the #RoarForChange campaign, I thought I'd ask a media superstar about @BTS_twt and the power of its army. Here's @RyanSeacrest explaining why you are a phenomenon! pic.twitter.com/R9kdVSyVT6

BTS has been a phenomenon for the last handful of years now…. We’ve had every artist in the world come into KIIS, never have I seen so many A.R.M.Y members standing outside the building, clamoring and waiting to get a glimpse of these guys, so it is a true global phenomenon. I can’t explain it, but you know what? Knowing them makes us more popular.

A.R.M.Ys are trying to help Ryan out by providing in-depth explanations of BTS’s appeal.
he says it's hard to explain, but I disagree. It's very easy to explain why @BTS_twt is so popular. Listen to their music, watch their music videos, look at a few of their concert ments. They really are very very good. And there are tons of older aged fans to back me up.

They claimed BTS weren’t just celebrities but family. Their personality was what made their music and visuals that much greater.
Could not have described it better. It would be so easy to say it’s because they’re beautiful. @BTS_twt is special because of their humility, kindness, openness and the way that they still find a way to bond with their fans. They spread love. 💜💜

Yes sir. Because ARMY REALLY LOVES @BTS_twt Not just by their looks but their music that they gave to us. And their attitudes are true and pure

Fans are also thanking George and Ryan for the recognition and reassuring them they are “hip”!
“BTW” – ok right that passes you for being hip enough😂😂 Cute!

A.R.M.Ys are hoping that Ryan Seacrest’s station will start playing more BTS!
Here’s hoping that @1027KIISFM would play more @BTS_twt music! It’s Euphoria for #BTSARMY when we hear their music on air! They are more than artists to ARMY! They’re our world! pic.twitter.com/nmvW2D074u

But really though!!! I would tune into @1027KIISFM more often if they played some @BTS_twt!

This isn’t the first time Ryan Seacrest has interacted with A.R.M.Ys – during his interview with BTS, he gave one fan the surprise of her life when he rang her live on air!
