To explain just how widespread BTS’s popularity is in North Korea, Park Yoo Sung gave the example of their recent GRAMMY Awards nomination. According to Park Yoo Sung, there are many rumors saying 500 votes were from North Korea alone—most likely from citizens with power.

When BTS won a GRAMMY Awards [nomination], people said there were 500 North Korean votes. Many North Koreans have cellphones now, and the higher-ups in the party or their children have access to the internet! I think those people voted.

Kang Nara deduced that it isn’t just locals in authority who voted for BTS but also foreigners.

There are many foreigners who live in North Korea. They can use the internet if they pay around $150. There’s a good chance that they voted, too.
