  • Description: From Elvis’ iconic photo with Nixon exhibiting his support for law enforcement to Olivia Rodrigo appearing at the White House to promote vaccines, pop icons have always operated as transmitters of relatability and reach for pressing political issues. The reality is that BTS’ appearance reflects two very important concepts with modern K-pop and the Hallyu K-Wave: Its global influence and the delicate balance that is exhibited between the fans and the artist that transcends most conceptions of what it means to support an artist. Pushback is natural in pop culture movements, yet K-pop might be the most resistant to this process given the global expansion of the industry working behind the scenes to increase the quality of the music.
