BTS is very popular with teen girls right now, so that really boosts their overall popularity. Think One Direction, 5 Seconds of Summer, Backstreet Boys, NSync, etc.
You’re likely either A) too old, or B) putting objective rules on subjective taste.
That song is a perfectly serviceable pop song, and for a lot of pop, that’s all they need to be. You’re probably not the audience and would likely need to appreciate fairly generic pop music to begin with.
In general though: music is subjective. You’re not going to like everything other people like. Why worry about “understanding” it?
