Personally I don't want to see Hybe in trouble, bc that is a company that grew from the fruits of BTS and BigHit's labor. I want to see it do well, stay honest, and provide a safe place for other artists. 🤷🏻♀️ Ppl wishing for its downfall don't make sense to me.
Seesaw, a song whose guide was named "Flower," abt the push and pull of a long term relationship, the high and low tides, the doubts and fears. A love song, in Yoongi's own words. Not a breakup song. If you listen carefully at the end, when the relationship is +
I think KMEDIA was genuinely caught completely off guard by ARMYs unyielding support for Yoongi. They genuinely expected this to go the way other "scandals" went, w the fandom on their side, or at least not standing up for the truth.
+ supposed to be ending, the "hold up, hold up" is soft and full of longing, as the speaker realizes once again, in the face of possible loss, how strong their feelings really still are.
Ok hold up. I didn't realize that Yoongi said "I'm going to a a love song," before he broke his string starting Seesaw acoustic...the night Jimin was there.
Now Jimin saying "You did that bc I was there, didn't you?" seems even more....so...lol Funny?
Like the lyrics say, IF there are no feelings, then it's a dangerous game, but IF THERE WERE NO FEELINGS, why wd they drag things out and not end it? He sounds very conflicted throughout the song, arguing w himself. Like he doesn't really believe what he's saying.
It seems clear to me that there are strong feelings, and that's why it's difficult. What do u do when things are /wrong/ w the person you love most? Do you try to heal it or do u end it? And if ending it is the right answer, why is it seemingly impossible?
To the ppl who hv become obsessed w this byctt and lost all touch w reality, you have turned your back on this fandom and BTS. You are no longer welcome here. Stop pretending to be a part of this fandom. Gtfo.
This is long, but I needed to organize my thoughts.
When does BTS need ARMY to defend them? When there's misinformation being spread by seemingly credible sources, and/or when they are being attacked by someone who cd actually do damage to them.+
ARMY, we DO NOT USE THIS. If ur new here and unsure how to participate as an ARMY, embed this in ur brain. We do not spy, share private pics, and DEFINITELY DO NOT PAY the fking military for access to the members. So start today by not engaging w the voyeuristic weirdos who do.
Big Hit has not made any announcements yet about how/where to send messages to the newly enlisted members, yet solo accounts are encouraging their thousands of followers to download this app that profits off celebrities forced military service.
Other than just being a great insult, "walk like a duck" cd be referring to the English idiom "If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, swims like a duck, it's probably a duck" (or a variation). It's a way of saying sometimes things or ppl really are what they appear to be.
The problem ppl hv w BPD n H is that many ppl think they are both all-powerful and all-knowing, AND completely inept atst. BPD is just a guy. H is made up of regular ppl. They do their best, but no, they aren't either superheroes OR supervillains. They're all just ppl!
I'm not a fan of the military. I'm not a fan of conscription. But how dare u attack Hobi for having fun the best he can while taking part in a very important aspect of his life? These drills are done by militaries across the world. Hobi is clearly proud of his accomplishments+

BPD is a DECENT MAN. Unlike LSM, who is a legit criminal who ran a criminally corrupt empire. BPD really cares abt BTS. He was there and he was the one who had the vision and foresight to choose tge right ppl for BTS. But ppl treat him like a cartoon monster. It's ridiculous.
If any so-called "Jimn stan" shares military pics of him that he didn't share, himself, u are saying u don't see him as a human being, but as an animal in a zoo. He doesn't WANT us to see him. Until which time HE FEELS COMFORTABLE SHARING pics of himself, any +

Snooze is the most stunningly lovely and emotional song on the album, imo. It's a sleeper (pardon the expression), but u don't even need to understand the lyrics to FEEL the passion. It's cinematic, truly.
What was it that Yoongi said about not laughing at the misfortune of others? I think the question sb, What would BTS do? No, other fandoms never stepped up to defend BTS. But ARMY is better than other fandoms, right? We don't act terrible bc someone else does. 🤷♀️
Just a quick PSA to baby ARMYs. All those kpop media outlets u see spreading crazy stuff? They aren't real news. They're sites where just about anyone can write an "article," and many of the "journalists" are just kpoppies. It's best to just block all of them. Esp "P

Not to mention the fast and loose way ppl define that "addiction." Lotta ppl act like watching p0rn occasionally is an addiction automatically bc it's p0000rrrn. As if any interest in sexual fantasy is a moral failing.
Your disconnect is part of learning. U can't go back in time and "cancel" someone who lived under entirely different cultural norms. But it IS part of our shared history. It's GOOD that u feel uncomfortable. Accept that this was how things rly were, and apply ur energy to NOW.
This belated outrage over Judy Garland's blackface performance is exactly why young millennials and zoomers need to stop shying away from old movies because "they're problematic". Blatant racism like that was a huge part of US culture and Hollywood for decades and decades.

Also, it's incredible that so many ARMYs don't get how easily they hv bn manipulated by MHJ's hate campaign. She used ppl's absurd hate for BPD and H and played some of u like a violin. All bc she and her minions seem to back up ur notion that he's evil or stupid.
And ppl are just waiting for him to fk up so they can say "told u so," and they blow the smallest things out of proportion to try to justify their malice. That's not the behavior of decent ppl.

That disclaimer "I don't support..." is basically a trauma response atp, istg, bc of aggressive bullying and attacking ppl -- they're putting it on there like putting a "I donate to my local police force" sticker on your car, just in case.
ARMYs shd treat BPD and H like colleagues, not enemies or servants. Mutual respect and a modicum of benefit of the doubt. We sb able to support our co during this hostile attempt at a takedown without being attacked by our own. We wd be so much stronger wrking TOGETHER.

There seems to be crossed wire where young ppl think discomfort is an alarm to remove whatever the thing is that's causing discomfort, rather than examining WHY they're uncomfortable and making a rational decision abt what to do next. Discomfort is a hint only.

Songs are interpreted by the listener. If I see my struggles there, that's perfectly fine. There's no rule or irrefutable interpretation of Yoongi's music. He said so himself. He wants his listeners to examine his songs and find new meanings.
I hope no ARMYs are seeking out other idols to pick apart, as some sort of revenge. That's what antis do. They come here posting essays about the evils of inebriated scooter driving and tell lies to stir us up. But we shouldn't be doing the same thing to anyone else. +

ARMYs, NO BTS MEMBERS are privately interacting with ARMY on any soc med. Never follow anyone pretending to be a member. Ever. Ever. And if you get a dm from anyone claiming to be a member, it's a SCAM. EVERY SINGLE TIME.
