ABC's description of Hobi in the press release 🥲 No reducing BTS' impact to just a "boy band"/"K-Pop group", but highlighting all of j-hope's skills and BTS as pop icons:
"South Korean rapper, dancer, songwriter, music producer and member of 21st century pop icons BTS..."
...and NOTHING. I mean it. NOTHING for Kpop.
As far as I'm concerned, that door is closed until BTS is back. I'm here to support their solo/unit projects, and I'll support BTS forever. If anyone thinks they're getting this ARMY to support some KPop agenda, they can think again.
To OT7 accounts...can we please stop using the word "surpass" in Chapter 2 when referring to member-to-member-to-group work? Try "Joins," "Previously held by" etc... like expand on the vocab. They're all BTS and that phrasing leads to competition debates and unnecessary drama. 💜
Was talking to my uncle about 🐱 and he said "It's disturbing what they're doing to him, but this group has reached a maturity—they're at a rebirth of their career where the institutions that tried to suppress them are the same places who need 875 more than 875 need them...(1/2)
This doesn't look like his dance practice hair, or his live clip hair, or his Fallon performance hair, or his concept photos hair... and his makeup is done... 👀
Fallon is def that U.S. show that has kept their ARMY💣 light bright throughout this temporary hiatus. Jimmy has invited members to the show and still highlights their past performances, and talks about them often. It's really nice to see. Can't wait til BTS visit again! 💜
If you have to wait for BTS to be out of the picture in order to succeed then you're not "the next BTS." BTS broke through every obstacle in their way to achieve a legendary impact. The next BTS is BTS because only they know how to be BTS.
IDK why kpoppies are laughing about BB and making fun of 875. It's an annoyance for us... but for y'all- it's a door slamming shut. Why celebrate that?
We as a fandom have always avoided talking to the media because of the damage the media has done to Tannies over the years... why are y'all tagging k-media?
We're all in
#YetToCome
mode right? Right. Get a head start on streaming and buying parties by ordering your 4 copies of the physical in the official store today!
They are set to ship on Friday, 9/16.
It's crazy when you think about how BB loves to filter us because they don't think there's enough of us—meanwhile this is the crowd singing along with Jungkook that showed up with no confirmed notice in 1 US city. They don't understand ARMY.
No one understands ARMY—except BTS.
875 will come out on top of it all. 🐱 is level-headed, and he knows the people who matter are the ones in his corner. That's one group you don't have to worry about coming out on the other side stronger."
This is how the people off ami twt see 875. 💜
Using 🐿️'s photo for a graphic instead of that guy? But I thought that guy was the 🎯...
Claiming it's *all the fandoms*, but the color is purple, our fandom name is boldly mentioned, our whale—who do you think the media is gonna focus on? That man? The other acts? Or 875?
I hope everyone who started/fueled these rumors know that they're just making ARMY stronger. We will stream more. Buy more. Chart more. The comeback they're so worried about is about to be bigger. One thing you can never do is diminish the strength of BTS and ARMY. NOT TODAY.
Thread time.
Because I have seen a lot of discourse about this, I am going to chime in - and this isn't just about people boyc0tting, it's discourse that has been going off and on since PROOF dropped, at least.
Our streams matter and radio matters, but our sales still matter a great deal. We need to be buying, and need more unique buyers. I reached out to get clarification about whether we can re-use our emails week by week. Great news: WE CAN! We need to keep our sales up. 💜
I have made some title art headers for the
#AgustD_DDAY
album, which is releasing on April 21st!
Pre-Order AGUST D's upcoming album, D-DAY, physical and digital copies here:
We have to treat each release with respect to the tools given. So far, we do not know the single situation with Yoongi, but we do know the first thing BH provided was the digital album. That's a major indicator that we should buy it. (1/2)
I’m tired of ppl always thinking we are trying to *prove* BTS paved the way. No, we’re not. It’s already been proven. We celebrate it. The problem is: folks keep trying to *erase* and *debate* what they’ve achieved and done for the industry instead of being grateful.
...and don't come for me, please. I get the press releases for work and I held off sharing anything about this appearance/performance until it was officially announced.
Interesting that Jimin had roughly this much by his second week and BB magically made 90% of those sales disappear... but the sales from this dude remain intact.
Namjoon really told us to protect our peace no matter what haters say about BTS and ARMY. He knows people will drag BTS, drag ARMY, paint us in a bad light, falsely accuse us...and he just wants us to protect our peace.
His words are like a warm hug every single time. 💜
All of us coming together for
#YetToCome
like it just dropped is making me so happy. I love ARMY.
#BTS_Proof
really celebrates their most beautiful moments and the best is yet to come.
Let's keep supporting! 💜
@vmas
BTS continue to earn the title as Group of the Year in 2022. Their hard work & dedication to their craft, and their ability to comfort people around the world through music continues to flourish. Let's not forget about taking over Vegas with record-breaking concerts. It's them.
Are we forgetting YT exists and that the streams count towards charts? Because it feels like we're forgetting YT exists and that the streams count towards charts. If anyone tries to say that streaming the mvs/audios from official channels on YT is not beneficial=they're not ARMY.
The amount of views on this aren't typically our style, which means enough people probably don't know it's on YT... so here I am to drop the link. Enjoy!
Dynamite, Butter and Boy With Luv.... Fake Love and My Universe next...and then we keep going, because we're gonna get them 4 PLAQUES B4 THEY COME BACK, RIGHT? ................RIGHT?
F Y I :
I am supporting the comebacks. All the comebacks. Every comeback. Always have, always will. I am supporting Hobi and Tae, and I will support all of Jin, Yoongi, Joon, Jimin and JK's releases—and ofc BTS. So, now you know. Follow me or don't. 💜
I never thought I'd have to click "not interested in this tweet" on my ARMY account, but here we are. Why are we hyping other groups? I've seen more hype about other groups cbs than I have for LY: Her, Jimin's collab, and voting. Like who you like, but what's going on here?
🚨 “WHO” by Jimin has a chance of being nominated for BBMAS, The tracking period is about to end, armys, please keep streaming and buying Who on all platforms, Make sure to do your best. It depends on metrics of charts and stats. Fighting!

When I saw that 🍯 acct post about *bl0cking* 875/members 🟢 profiles, it was officially a 🚫 for me. It's one thing to choose not to listen to them for your own reasons, but to encourage BL0CK!NG their profiles? Like we do to kpawp? Yeah, no.
There’s no way you can tell me Jimin isn’t sitting on ~400k US sales at this point for LC. To not count them for BB is bad enough, but the sales still exist and need to be acknowledged in general. Ain’t no way he doesn’t have the top selling song of the year.
I don't understand, if you re-record work you've already had achievements with...why use all of these tactics week after week? It comes off more as greed and less like you were just taking back control of your art.
BigHit was barely getting by. That is common knowledge. They did not have the money to promote BTS. You know how they got money? From sales—music, tickets, and merch. From ARMY. They had to MAKE money and they didn't make money on *viBeS* — they worked for it.
Jimin was a million seller in the 1st day on Hanteo. We can get him to
#1
on BB2OO 2nd week if we work together. We have five 1/2 days, and we've done more in less time before.
Please donate for digital albums to
@pjmstolemyheart
or buy them on your own
ARMYs will continue to buy and stream so that BTS can continue to make their music as freely as possible.
Either stream their music, or don't. Buy their music, or don't. But please vent about not wanting to buy or stream to somebody who cares to listen, because it ain't ARMY.
Only antis unfollow BTS. It's as simple as that. If someone presenting as an ARMY tells you to unfollow BTS' company or a BTS account, they are no ARMY.
No ARMY would ever try and sabotage BTS and the fandom in such a way. ARMYs show up and support.
I'll never be upset when an ARMY posts a reminder to stream, vote or buy anything to support the Tannies. I've been INDIGO vibing all day and my sis just said "Did you stream JITB today?" I didn't. Now I am. I appreciated the reminder. See that? Teamwork making that dream work.
Weverse Shop is combining with Weverse + they will be doing SMS verification.
All of you manipulating their system with purchase + cancellation campaigns—good luck. Don't be surprised if you're 🚫 from features and event opportunities in the near future. They're keeping a log.
NOT TODAY by BTS was the first song by a K-pop act to enter Spotify Global in 2017! Let's not stop at iTunes, LET'S RE-ENTER! 🔥

An ARMY needs to find this so it doesn't get in the wrong hands 😩😩 If there are any Adorable Representatives who are also really good at stuff like this...it's your time to shine.
...and people think we're being dramatic or making it up when we say BB deleted 90% of Jimin's REAL sales to keep him out of the Top 10, or the thousands they deleted from other members. I hope more artists stand up against this because THAT'S chart manipulation.
This is a LONG thread but first/foremost, what I have to say is not to divide but rather unite as I feel the tl has been drifting & I would like to make an effort to change that course. I might get ratioed, but it is what is... I'm on this account for 8T$, not ego. ⬇️
I am tired of people debating whether or not we should stream or buy BTS' music, and I'm tired of ANYONE thinking that it isn't necessary to buy/stream, or for accounts to not help fellow ARMY with buying/streaming.
Who is funding for Like Crazy ? I know who is funding Haegeum&DESLM, but I need to buy for all 3. There's no way we should be dropping LC when we're pushing at least 5m streams a week. Isn't this the longevity we're always talking about? We can buy less, but not stop altogether.
BTS put money they made back into their work, they weren't just spending it on a luxurious life.
That fandom you came into and the group that's on top that you love to boast about being on top? They got to the top after being at the bottom. They worked for it. ARMY helped them.
PLEASE buy the full album in *addition* to buying tracks separately. You can buy the album on TIDAL, but you can also buy it on iTunes/Amazon if you use a diff. email from the ones you used to buy tracks separately. Buying them separately *only* is not enough for BB200. 💜
"They don't need-" save it. You don't know what they need.
What they do or don't need to prove is not up to you. You don't get to decide if they have enough money or not. You don't get to decide if their sound engineers, producers, songwriters and staff have enough money or not.
We had to fight to get that attention. We streamed. We bought. We supported. It wasn't a chart-obsession, it was about making sure people took notice of them, making sure they didn't have to worry about how they could keep going.
BTS wasn't an overnight success and their # 1s didn't come from selling 100k photocards. If your faves have originality, talent &the "it" factor, they'll be fine -but don't try and use us for your own agenda of hyping your faves and then guilt trip us when we don't take the bait.

in her uber ride after the Newark date when he was telling her he had brought someone else to the area that week for a concert. Oh, a concert, you say? He was looking Joon, Hobi and Yoongi up on Spotify by the end of that trip. 😏
Chart-topping songs/albums help the artist thrive and create without limitation, bring in new fans and grab the attention from those who would typically ignore.
ARMYs support has always been a balance of ENJOYMENT OF THEIR ART and SUPPORTING THE ART. They go hand-in-hand.
I hope the YTC nomination today serves as a reminder that we should always go hard for BTS. I saw too many narratives this year that this song didn't really have a shot and we couldn't really push it. As long as BTS releases music anything is possible.
It's

HIS VIBRATO WAS SOLID. HIS BREATH CONTROL WAS RIDICULOUSLY GOOD. HIS NOTES WERE CLEAN. HIS PITCH WAS PERFECT. HIS SKIN WAS GLOWING. HIS BANGS WERE BANGIN'.
We can't enjoy their art if they can't make it. You can't just come into a fandom built on a foundation of equal admiration and support (in every sense of the word) and then tell us to "dial it back" because "they're so big, they don't have anything to prove."
Definitely not using any playlists that remove Who for Be Mine. They can be right next to each other. We can not drop one for the other. Push both. You're just *asking* to deliberately mess Who up on the charts if you diminish your focus on it.
They refer to anyone advocating for that type of support as "chart-obsessed," but what it says to me is that anyone thinking this does not know how the music industry works nor do they understand the group they claim stan, or the fandom they claim to be in.
Remember when we use to say "BUY YOUR FAVES MUSIC"... "we stream our faves!"... "we actually vote!"... "make them untouchable" ?? That's still how we feel, right? I remember singing "let me show you 'cause talk is cheap" last year.
Chapter 2 is not an epilogue. Let's support💜

Global media is giving those 3rd and 4th gen kpop acts the time of day BECAUSE of BTS and ARMY.
As it is, 95% of them debut with full ready-made fandoms and flashy music videos, luxury brand endorsements, and collab deals with global producers, artists and directors.
Buy and stream
#BadDecisions
. Buying isn't that complicated- use fresh emails and re-use emails from last week that you didn't use this week. Make sure you have only 1 digital order of each version in your cart + 4x each of the physicals, if you can.
I had a premium account and my playlists were removed. I reached out and was told to sign out/back in. They replied again and said I must have given them the info for the wrong acct-no I didn't, they just deleted the acct mid-support ticket. (1/2)

yet.
It's a BTS song.
A vocal line song getting worldwide attention.
Even members who aren't on it want you to support it.
IT'S A BTS SONG.
Come on now.
You think we're buying music we're not enjoying? What twilight zone are you in?
If those "chartmys" turned around and called you "lazyarmy" because you didn't wanna stream, your feelings would be hurt and you'd make 134340 "It doesn't make me less of an ARMY because..." threads.
@ItsBennyBlanco
Thank you for your kind words about BTS and ARMY, Benny. Your whole letter was beautiful, and we hope this song receives a lot of love and success. 💜
They didn't have payola to boost them. They didn't have a massive label to ensure they had a solid budget to create whatever they wanted to create.
The western music industry wasn't just saying "oh, kpop is popular, let's give BTS some attention."
Calling others "chartmys" and "chart-obsessed" isn't the pat on your own back you think it is. It doesn't make you a better fan because you claim you're just here to "enjoy the music."
Jimin’s album is 2 weeks old and Yoongi’s is 2 weeks away. FACE is not a six month old album. There is no reason of why an ARMY can’t show up for both well-deserving projects.
Please keep buying + streaming both. This shouldn't be something we debate. 💜
ATTN BABY ARMY: If you came into the fandom after MU and need to understand what we're voting for and what we're buying/streaming, how to stream on YouTube or how to make/listen to playlists -you can DM me. I'm willing to help and/or direct you to the proper sources to help out.
I'm a small account so sometimes it feels like no one reads what I'm saying. My reach will definitely not go as far as big accounts. I make promo headers and playlists and advocate for streaming on platforms all day, but if hardly anyone sees it- hardly anyone sees it.
