    • 2021 December 14, Hibaq Farah, quoting Zee S, “‘BTS taught me that I am worthy’: readers on why they love the K-pop superstars”, in The Guardian‎[1], archived from the original on 24 April 2022:
      As a young Asian American, I was lucky growing up in an inclusive suburb, where although known to be predominantly Caucasian, all blends of cultures and ethnicities were embodied in the school populations. That said, the “K-wave” had not reached the depths of Naperville yet, and I remember K-pop lovers being perceived as outcasts all over the States.
