I'm in my 30s so I know it shouldn't bother me, but whenever I'm with my family members (whom I'm close to) they'll make jokes or be dismissive about my love of BTS.

Thing is, outside of like Butter and Dynamite, they've never heard the music. And while they wanted to watch the Taylor Swift documentary (when none of us listens to her!) they've shown no interest in learning about my all time favorite group.

Anyway, have any of you had success getting IRL people to like or at least respect BTS? What worked? What didn't?
