@SociableBarely Let’s not be disingenuous. We all know researching prowess isn’t the issue here. But the parameters of your data interpretation. To everyone else in the replies: You clearly think that knowing something about kpop means you know everything about BTS. There’s a name for that.

@borahaezu It is not about kpop. Racism is racism. And BTS is the biggest most visible Asian representation on the global platform right now. The last one there is the real issue for a lot of people. Accepting this fact is difficult for some. So don’t waste your time.

@abyssmillah They’ve haven’t learned to adjust their expectations. Western. kpop. Music as art from one, “music” as product from the other. This is why saying BTS isn’t kpop anymore is simply stating that don’t fit that category. Not Korean idols. Not western. BTS is BTS. Music is music.

@Blacksswan7 @zubbycat This. I was just thinking the same. Jin gets to fulfil his dreams of performing for ARMY for free. Just before he enlist. Both BTS and ARMY get to have a “proper” goodbye. With a bang. With faith. Love. Pride. Self respect. With some degree of control taken back.

@SociableBarely To fans and BTS ARMY in the replies: “Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics” is a saying for a reason. At some point arguing is throwing your pearls to swine. There is a time for everything. There is another saying: The dogs will bark, but the caravan will carry on. Let the dogs bark.

@hyyhaficionado I am not an audio engineer but I thought I heard back tracking in PTD for example, but not on some others like Dynamite with the live band, or some of their Korean songs. Jimin’s going wobbly a bit when he is tired, and Yoongi losing is voice towards the end?

@modooborahae I have sooo much to say about this. But I am still brewing my thoughts. Twitter word limits means this is not the right place to expound on it. Sufficed to say, attempts to validate BTS by squeezing them into other people's metrics is not only pointless, but may be a disservice.

@etheralmonie @almostdita “With a little help” is an English language EXPRESSION. People say it in contexts like this one when it means the opposite. English speakers know not to take it literally.

@RollingStone Doh. Just like when they can’t find a weapon of mass destruction in Iraq before the US invaded it eh?

@kkyumini___ @almostdita It’s a FIGURE OF SPEECH commonly understood by English speakers when within this context to mean the opposite.

@MicheBangtan @OT7army93 I’m wondering if that’s why they finally opened accounts on IG?

@iamD4VID @therealmikedean The question is WHY, of all the wrong people he could take it out on, did he take it out on BTS.

@userbfIy Being able to drop an ANTHOLOGY is a flex. A big and significant body of work is immediately understood! The pandemic has given them a lot more mainstream listeners and they might have to take 18 months off. Who are these people? Kids? Kpoppies?

@TSwiftFTC @billboardcharts From one adult to another: An impression was created by tagging one artist while using the word "dips" in a post related to said artist, WHILE the word "moves" was chosen to report the **same** downward movement, in relation to another artist, without tagging said artist.

@ndeverydayistay Don’t you think it’s time that we reject the idea of having to look to America to validate anyone’s musical and artistic achievements?

@SaraBangtan07 @AppleMusic I come to accept the possibility that music journalists in the west perhaps isn’t struggling so much with unchecked presumptions which translates to laziness, but more with being so used to unchallenged worldviews that they are struggling to comprehend alternative realities.

Because my “right” to “liberty” is more important than the right of others to stay alive. If this counter adaptive behaviour isn’t a sign of a civilisation in decline in the continuing process of our species’ evolution, I don’t know what is. It’s time anyway.

The giants whose shoulders we are all standing on should never forget that the future belongs not to them but to us, and not all of us are going to be Americans.

@btsbaragi_jk I love Hobi’s high double breasted classic reminds me of the suits of the 1940s, and the colours as well, how they are combined = pure elegance

@sonyeondussy The determining factor will be the number and the money each fandom can bring to the city. #BTSARMY is huge, and old enough to spend their own money as they see fit.

@gmcantave1 It is the equivalent of negative campaigning when substance is lacking. Formation of a common enemy, hyping through charged emotions. Nothing to do with musical legacy. True legacy is timeless. So years of absence shouldn’t be relevant. Yet. They’ve got to do something I guess 💀
