Being an esteemed daily, Anandabazar Patrika is a way to get informed about everything that is going on in and outside of India for the Bengali netizens. And as India is a Democratic country, Newspaper and media is a medium to get informed about everything a citizen can't get a hand on, on his own. So, providing half of the information and portraying something or someone with a conservative and biased mentality isn't something newspapers should be doing. In the above mentioned article, Anandabazar Patrika posed Bangtan Sonyeondan aka BTS, as just a Teenage craze, without mentioning their Global impact for over 7 years and how they are nominated for 63rd Grammys, which are not even a drop of water in the ocean of their achievements. They just mentioned some Teenager girls and even said that the fans of BTS, aka we ARMYs don't bother to analyse how worthy they are and just go with the flow of the colourful world K-pop and BTS provide us. When that is far from true. Not studying, being addicted to phone, lack of sincerity comes from within, no external force can cause that. A sincere person would do what he needs to do right now anyway with or without BTS. It varies from person to person and how they do it. BTS never taught us to neglect our works. And many ARMYs who are promising and priotize their work are in good places, cause they use BTS and the words of BTS as motivation. So it would be nice and respectful if before trying to prove K-pop and BTS as a harmful craze, the editors do proper research and not limit their views by writing articles based on the words of a limited and little number of people. It cause people to get a wrong notion of things and hurts people.
