** The Indian animated series ''Animation/SimpleSamosa'' has an episode called "Toast Malone" that, besides the eponymous stand-in for Music/PostMalone, also features a sugar cube hosting a rap battle between Toast Malone and Samosa. The sugar cube is named Suga and comes from a band called Ghee-TS.
** Canadian figure skater Roman Sadovsky performed to "Boy with Luv" for [[https://streamable.com/iz4co0 his exhibition number]] during the 2021-2022 competitive season.
** In ''Film/{{Eternals}}'', Kingo says he's getting a cameo from BTS in his movie. The BTS song 'Friends' is also featured in the film.
** In the 2020 crossover event with the WWE in ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFightersAllStar'', the John Cena chapter ends with him deciding to "practice some self-care" in Korea by going to a BTS concert (of which he's a known fan). Unfortunately, the one person he asks for directions turns out to be Kim Kaphwan, who takes Cena's "I'm Army" explanation literally and, due to BTS' Korean name, thinks Cena wants to see ''actual'' fellow soldiers. Chang and Choi realize they're going the opposite direction to the concert, but decide not to bother telling them.
** Dahlia in ''[[VisualNovel/MonsterProm Monster Prom 2: Monster Camp]]'' tries to convince the Baba Yaga to stop eating people by showing her Korean idol videos. While the latter initially complains about the noise and dancing, she asks Dahlia to show her another. She and Dahlia end up bonding over BTS.
** In ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'', the character of Tae Young was a direct reference to BTS (with his design particularly resembling Jimin and his name possibly being a reference to V's real name, Kim Taehyung), with all [=4*Town=]'s members being references to boybands throughout history.

* CreatorBacklash:
** BTS (RM especially) have vocally expressed regret several times about decisions made pre-2015, most notably regarding their [[PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy image]], as well as questionable lyrics and comments that revealed ignorance towards [[PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy race]] and gender issues. According to recent interviews, RM now makes sure to have his lyrics reviewed by experts in gender studies, and makes a point in studying the genres they delve into in their music.
** On a less serious note ([[PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy though still related to the above]]), RM ''really'' regrets the name "Rap Monster" and his hairstyle choices from 2013 and before debuting. When asked what he would say if he met himself from debut-era, he simply responded with:
---> '''RM''': [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Please change your name. Please change your hair.]]
** RM admitted that he wasn't thinking straight when he ad-libbed the line "west side 'til I die, gimme the real world man" in "If I Ruled the World", and has expressed regret over it.

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope

** This even applies to their performances, always finding ways to make them all unique and memorable in Korean awards and year-end shows. Jimin dancing blindfolded? Dancing to near exhaustion to an extended version of "Mic Drop" (at the end of a 15-minute performance, even)? Making a heavy metal version of "DNA"? Incorporating a celebration of traditional Korean dances? They don't have to go that far, but they do it anyway.



* FanNickname: Before the Music/BTSUniverse was officially named, fans called it the "HYYH story/universe". The name still sticks around in some parts.
** Since 2017, international fans have taken to call Korean [=ARMYs=] "K-diamonds"[[note]]meaning that they're as strong/resistant as diamonds, as they had to endure backlash against BTS and their fans much more harshly and directly[[/note]], while Korean fans call international [=ARMYs=] "I-Lovelies" in return.

* AwesomeDearBoy: Their collaborations with {{Music/Coldplay}} and Music/MeganTheeStallion in particular are this, being motivated by mutual admiration. Megan's case especially stands out, as she had to fight her label in order to be able to release the "Butter" remix featuring her (see ExecutiveMeddling).
