This is from a survey of 3.2k Americans on their dedication to watching artists live. “BTS fans are willing to travel an avg of 2,040 miles for a concert, the most of any fan group, garnering a loyalty score of 88.4”

Bts don’t change their music schedule even when they’re up against the other biggest artists in the world. Why would they start caring about such things now
@_RainEdition_
Bodyguards and other Big Hit staff should always be off limits. Someone always takes it too far. They’re not celebs who consented to be filmed. They’re blurred out even in Bangtan bombs.
@BRIELLE0911
Also Bang PD actually produced and composed music. He didn’t just decide the concept and hairstyle for BTS 😂
What are MHJ’s talents musically? She’s a marketing / branding person. There’s hardly any focus on who composed / produced NJ’s music. It’s all about her.
BTS is already in the league of top artists. And will eventually get recognised among all-time greats.
Can we stop stressing over every small thing done by some 🧙 / her stooges / solos / akgaes? They can’t do shit.
As Joon said, BTS & army are literally strong. We’ll be fine
A lot of the posts seem to have an Indian connection somehow. Either the account names are Indian or they have posted about India in other tweets (Indian men that too - who are rarely into k-pop). I think they have hired an Indian "viral marketing" agency.

The way I am interpreting this is - Historically oppressed (aka non-white) people inherently have more responsibility to stand up against atrocities anywhere in the world, just because of who they are. While the actual oppressors (aka white people) have less responsibility. WTF

@BTS_twt
I don't think they actually like BTS all that much either. Apparently, according to this white American woman, BTS are obligated to be political because they inhabit Korean bodies.
To the k-mantis or i-mantis crying about Hybe / BH making money from sponsors - do you realise they are also spending money on outdoor ads, producing content, arranging events etc for Festa. Since army is not paying where will money for these come from if not from sponsors?
There was one [read ONE] woman over the age of 35 who had wrong opinions about what is ok to ask on a wv live to JK (which they were called out for by everyone, incl. older armys). But now, entire essays are being written about how older armys are creepy for sexualising 875.

This @/koobidivines account with 10k+ followers acts like a manti, spreads misinformation, engages in needless fanwars and attacks fanbases / funders. Some of my moots follow too. Take a look at their tweets and please unfollow / block.

@7seventannies
On point. Except this wasn’t even western media 😭 It was a Korean news show (in English) and a Seoul-based “expert”. Looks like even in Korea people find it hard to believe how massive and global BTS’s fanbase is.

BH / BTS have never paid for playlisting or radio. Why will they start doing that now?
Plus each member decided their own promo and Jimin did a lot of promo. If you’re still confused, Yoongi has something to say to you 👇
Dear k-armys, please speak up unequivocally in support of Yoongi staying in BTS. I understand the cultural differences, but the narrative that the k-media is spreading that k-army want him to leave is not acceptable. This is not an attack, but a request 💜
@almostdita
Right? No accountability whatsoever. Out one week, back in the next. When our streams have hardly been that different. Of course BB doesn’t have to answer anyone. They can do what they want 😐
Finding them sexually attractive is not wrong no matter your age (and that includes creating & consuming fanfics / fan art). Asking sexual / personal questions is wrong no matter your age
It’s the behaviour that’s wrong, not the age. Call out the behaviour not the age
@130613fate
I’m so pissed off with all the comments from army accounts. Including from some I followed. How do they comment on someone’s looks like that while claiming to stan the kindest people on earth? And this was so unprovoked. Wasn’t even a fanwar.
We need to talk about this now. We don't know which Korean tv channels / media🐹may choose to promote KSJ1. We can't keep bringing up🐱issue, and embarrass🐹. We can't let our anger regarding one member to stop us from supporting another. Do better.
+100. I saw one manti say “you’re cherry picking issues”. Well yes dumbass, that’s what human beings with critical thinking do. We pick issues that are worthy of being raised. We don’t go around trending hashtags for every nonsensical non-issue.
Also a big 'go fck yourself' to all the mantis trying to claim victory today because you are the number one reason organizing a sensible response is so difficult. 😊
@jjinjins
Hybe is not free from the debt. They still have to pay it back but at a later date. They simply re-financed it, and Mirae Asset is "underwriting" it. Many financial institutions would have tried to do this underwriting, and Mirae would have won. All very normal industry practices
@Bora_aRmy97
@btsthroughyears
The joke is when someone is so hot you don’t register the colour of anything because your brain is useless at that point. A common thing we say in the fandom “don’t ask me the colour of anything” when a picture or video is too hot.
@taetaeisabear
This. It’s so annoying to see them do that. If you don’t want to share, just shut up about it. No need to write essays, and then also tag the brand. Wtf. Have some common sense.
@cypherluscious
Nooo 😭 And not just that the other members weren't there, but instead he was met with camera flashes. That they need each other because they are the only ones who know what it's like to live as them. And how lonely that life would be. Ok let me go bawl now.
Asking sexual / personal questions is wrong - no matter the age. And fwiw, I can’t imagine a grown adult asking silly stuff like “sex or chocolate”. Lol. Apart from being creepy, it’s such an immature question (irrespective of the age of the person asking it).
Since you’re so involved in our fandom’s business, even looking up lives, stream Haegeum, bestie!! Also look up the lyrics. Yoongi has a thing or two to say to people like you.
"Taylor Swift Is Catching Up To BTS–But She Hasn’t Matched Them Just Yet"
That's right. Because BTS are history makers.

I’m not saying the company is not making a profit from the sponsorships. They probably are (it’s a business ffs!) and BTS will get a share of those profits.
But the sponsorships also pay for all the presents that we’re getting from BTS.
Increase streams for all these songs and bring them into Global Spotify chart. How do Lost & Neuron have less than 400k streams per day despite being 2024 title tracks? Let’s push army! We can do it!
Why are shooter “armys” camping on this post being nasty to the other group? Save your “giving the same energy back” nonsense. Some of you stan BTS only because it gives you an excuse to be mean girls about it and that sucks.
@BaseLineWoo
And they place all orders on the day of album drop because they want to win the d*ck measuring contest among c bars that they were the one who had “highest single day orders”. Purely selfish reasons that have nothing to do with artist or music.
@nahshesgay
Eras tour = Greatest hits tour. BTS sort of already did that with the PTD concerts no? 🤷♀️ They just didn’t have the time to go on a whole world tour due to their circumstances 😢
Whatever your definition of “sexualising” is, either it’s wrong for everyone to sexualise the boys or it’s not. So tired of this nonsense every few days. And if you think ageism isn’t common in this fandom - that’s because you’ve just never experienced it.
@BaseLineWoo
It really hurts to know that Namjoon thinks BE is the “forgotten one”, and there are armys who actually prove him right 😢 That one tweet has upset me more than it should have.
@7seventannies
1) Playlist creators with large following should add 🐨 🐿️ songs as more than fillers. At least 10x daily
2) Hyung line focused (but OT7) Stationhead channel
3) Encourage people with laptop to have one extra Spotify account running for Hyung line songs (can be free)
@prodbangtan
BTS is already self sufficient. Other Hybe groups doing better commercially means less pressure on BTS to keep delivering profits to shareholders. BTS will be free to explore their artistic interests and do whatever they want.
You want to know how mainstream BTS is in India?
Garba is a traditional folk dance originating in Gujarat that is popular during the Indian festival of Navratri. And there is going to be a Garba celebtation with BTS music in 2 cities!

Thank you the explanation. But it doesn’t really clarify much. Issue is not just about the contract termination part.
I understand that it’s been tough for k-armys. But
1) How will this protest help anything? Hybe is already taking legal action and we know that takes time.

It’s a completely fair question. I saw that it’ll take 15k sales. My immediate thought was - we potentially have another new release within the next month. Why not save funds for that. Hope I don’t get attacked for saying this.
@Aditi__04
This last part is not correct though. BTS has only been removed from the “recommended star soldier” part of the app. Family can still get updates on members like all other regular enlisted people.
@jjinjins
But if he is saying he has tried to reach out to her, and there’s no way to reach her, how is Hybe controlling the narrative? It’s her fault that she’s not reachable by international journalists. Duh.

This is so true. So many friends sent me links of media articles or asked "omg is BTS d1sb

I have myself travelled 8700 miles and 1900 miles to watch BTS / Yoongi 😅 And know many more who have done this. So not crazy at all! (Ok ya we’re crazy but only in the best way)
I usually don't talk about other artists, but it's really upsetting how the🧙♀️and👖 are targeting other artists for their selfish motives. They all need to be kicked out from the company 875 built. Translation here
This is either a diet solo or someone extremely lacking in common sense. We can’t let people like this drive the narrative, and make things worse between k-armys & i-armys.
@_ium_
I respect the opinion of k-diamonds and thank you for updating us. But is there a plan to show support to Yoongi more publicly now? Or will we wait for case to be concluded which can still take weeks? Isn’t our support required most when it’s toughest, not later? Genuinely asking
Midnatt is probably the AI music project Bang PD spoke about? Hybe Official account tweeted article which had a paragraph on it being a music project. The YouTube channel has "IM" (Interactive Media) in the name, which implies it's a tech project. Music + Tech? Hmmm.
@_btsprotect
I personally don’t like very s3xual fanart on sm, but can we be clear on why we want these accounts gone? This isn’t deepfake. This is fan art. Deepfake is definitely not ok (s3xual or otherwise)
But who gets to decide for the fandom on what is “too s3xual”? Why is that you?
"We 💜 those guys, and we really care about them. What they create together is really uplifting to millions of young & old people.
I feel quite protective of BTS"

@prodbangtan
BTS can't exist outside the system. The only practical way for the dependence to go down is for profits to be diversified - for which other groups / labels have to grow. There's no negative effect from other Hybe groups growing on BTS.
Why are people hating on Ranveer Singh in the QRTs. You can actually hear someone say “Ranveer I love you. How is Deepika”. Clearly his fans were also in the crowd. So he waved and interacted with them.
