there are only three things bts have ever asked of us 1) enjoy their music 2) trust them and 3) don’t catch a cold. as army let’s always strive to do all three.
i’ll continue to say bts’ ability to break the enlistment curse and not lose a bit of their popularity and success during their “hiatus” but actually increase it will be written in history books. people choose to not give bts the credit they deserve but army knows the truth.
kmedia, knetz, kpoppies: “he and the group will never be allowed to appear on variety shows, music shows and award shows ever again”
armys: don’t threaten me with a good time. if i never have to sit through another five hour award show i will consider that a blessing.
the fact that jin got out of the military and immediately did a weverse live. re-recorded super tuna with an extra verse. rehearsed. had a hug event. had a mini concert is incredible. bts love army so much and it’s something none of us should ever take for granted.
let’s make one thing clear. bts saying they paved the way is in no way a diss or disrespect to anyone. it���s just a fact. and if you are spending your friday deeply offended by such an obvious statement that has the numbers and achievements to back it up then that’s a you problem.
anytime i think about last years festa dinner i’m just reminded of the post dinner jk vlive where he wanted to reiterate that bts in fact are still together and that he doesn’t have THAT many mattresses, air purifiers and diffusers around his house.
the fact that armys collectively were cracking up at the funeral scene just reinforces the fact that bts and army all have the same exact unserious sense of humor.
AND WHAT IF SPRING DAY IS ONLY THE BEGINNING AND WE DECIDE TO CONTINUE TO CHART SONGS IN BTS’ DISCOGRAPHY UNTIL THEY ARE BACK TOGETHER FOR FUNZIES JUST TO PISS EVERYBODY OFF.
just to clear things up since there’s always confusion for some individuals within this fandom.
namjoon/rm fans = army
seokjin/jin fans = army
yoongi/agust d/suga fans = army
hoseok/j-hope fans = army
jimin fans = army
taehyung/v fans = army
jungkook fans = army
bts fans = army
bangbangcon is so wholesome. keep in mind these are old concerts many of us have watched numerous times & likely own the dvds yet here we are coming together in celebration of bts’ anniversary to enjoy them yet again. shows how much bts’ music really is what brings us together.
gentle reminder: for those complaining about “the speeches” this is an annual event coinciding with the UNGA to encourage those in power to make meaningful changes in regards to climate change, poverty, education, women’s rights, equality, etc THIS ISN’T JUST SOME MUSIC FESTIVAL.
as a 2017 army let me make this clear. what armys are doing right now with re-charting songs, streaming, buying, voting and getting accts s-worded is the reason why we were always feared by everyone. we never engaged in harassment, d0xxing or clapbacks. it was always about
i was completely fine watching the hybe corporate drama from the sidelines peacefully in the comfort of my own home until that lady chose to invoke the tannies name. the moment she decided to drag them into her chaos was the moment she and i had a problem. make no mistake about
in an industry where everyone’s chasing the next two minute payola tiktok viral moment namjoon chose to make art.
bts have the freedom to release the music they want rather than following industry demands and trends and are successful and it’s why everyone is mad.
all i know is when bts return i can say with confidence that during their absence i never threw them under the bus, tried to speak for them, question their morals/values, demand anything from them. many of you can’t say the same thing and i hope when bts return you feel guilty.
one thing kpop stans fundamentally misunderstand about army is the majority of us aren’t interested in fanwars. most of us aren’t aware of the latest drama & are only on here to support bts & hang out with fellow armys, that’s it. we really are peacefully in our own little world.
we need to prepare ourselves for the next several months leading up to june. the smear campaigns will increase with the hope of trying to destroy bts’ reputation as well as wanting armys to turn against hybe. don’t take the bait & play into the hands of sm/kakao/kmedia/lil lady.
yoongi never set out to commit a crime that evening. one night out that led to a common minor traffic violation that many of us either have experienced ourselves or know someone who has led to an unjustified months long criminal investigation and relentless public shaming and
armys traveling to sk for jin’s event. armys taking off work and/or school. armys rescheduling appointments. okay someone needs to officially make bts member’s discharge days an international holiday.
the moment you accept the fact that bts have full autonomy, are in complete control of their careers, respect their decisions and realize that your job as an army is to simply just be a fan, have fun and support the art is when you truly enjoy your army experience.
i hope everyone understands the level of trust that’s required to release music without being able to promote it in-person. trust in company staff that everything will be done exactly how you envisioned. and trust in knowing armys will show up to support your art. one thing
here’s the thing: there’s a massive amount of evidence against this lady. she’s in deep legal trouble. the only reason she did that press conference was to deflect, create distractions and generate fanwars and add full to those who already hate bang pd. she’s moving like a kpop
i’m a firm believer that one day, may not be tomorrow, next week, five years from now or ten years from now, but one day someone from the music industry is gonna spill the tea on what in the hell is being done to the guys & who’s orchestrating it & i hope i’m alive to witness it.
you notice how every public figure on earth is free to play sports, release books, movies, tv shows and music as well as perform and attend events without being relentlessly harassed online except for the guys. bts/army are the only ones forced to deal with this on a daily basis.
real talk: people’s demands for a world tour is the perfect example of an ongoing problem in this fandom, people setting expectations on the guys that the guys themselves either don’t necessarily have or are unable to meet which only leads to you becoming angry for no reason. +
in all seriousness bts and armys ability to beat the enlistment curse despite everybody and their cousin gleefully doubting us will forever go down in history. we’re not going anywhere and there’s nothing anyone can do about it.
look at everything we’re dealing with right now. bcotters, smear campaigns, misinformation, slander, harassment, shady industry gatekeepers, mediaplay. don’t let anyone on this app try to convince you that bts no longer need army support. the guys need us now more than ever.
oh and fvck every single person with a lil seven calling themselves an army who constantly center every global crisis around bts demanding they become superheroes and solve all the world’s problems. to constantly place unfair pressure on those you claim to love is disgusting. i
BTS ARE NOT IN COMPETITION WITH EACH OTHER. THEY SUPPORT EACH OTHER’S WORK AND EACH MEMBER HAS THE FULL CREATIVE FREEDOM TO DECIDE HOW THEIR PROJECTS ARE PROMOTED. STOP WITH THE IGNORANT SOLO/MANTI NONSENSE. YOU SOUND DUMB.
bts’ ability to grow their fandom in chapter two despite their inability to be active as a group will go down in history as one of the most pivotal moments in their careers that solidified their legacy.
unpopular opinion: this new narrative that you’re only allowed to listen to bts and not any other artist while being a fan of seven guys who’ve expressed since day one their passion for music and even share with us artists they’re listening to will never make any sense.
i’m tired of people screaming “no promo.” there’s a promo schedule, pre-recorded vids, tiktoks, shorts/reels, ig messages, concept photos, pre-release single, etc. all these things are promo. your problem is it’s not the promo that YOU want. stop disrespecting the guys hard work.
also i’ve watched music festivals for years and this is this first time i’ve heard of something like this happening. i can’t even begin to imagine the amount of money it cost for lolla to allow hybe to have the streaming rights. the pull bts/hybe has in the industry is no joke.
@laintrepida
and this is the type of armymultis i can’t stand. listen to whatever music you want but what we’re not going to do is give wins to other groups like we’re running some charity.
if haters think that armys are loud and annoying now just wait until all the guys are home next year. we are never gonna shut up and there’s nothing anybody can do about it.
why is it whenever there’s a new single, album, merch or content released people repeat the ridiculous narrative “the company is money hungry” “it’s just a cash grab.” i’m confused. hybe is a company. a company with employees. a company with artists. a company with bills to pay.
we need to have a serious conversation about this. the fact that bts during their “hiatus” about the same streaming numbers as the year of one of their biggest global hits is insane. we need to stop listening to outside noise and give ourselves credit. armys, we worked damn hard.
i’ve been an army for seven years. i’ve been here long enough to remember when hybe didn’t even exist. yes, hybe has made some choices i don’t particularly agree with. however i don’t understand the deep hatred so many armys have towards the company and bang pd. neither have done
focusing on policing celebrities and holding them accountable for tragedies they have nothing to do with while not redirecting that energy towards politicians, diplomats & institutions actually responsible will never make sense to me yet people keep doing the same things hoping
there has been a growing anti-hybe/anti-bighit trend among armys even before the hybe kdrama and it’s now become more prevalent. i don’t know where all this deep rooted hatred comes from but in the years i’ve been an army we were never this way and it’s unfortunate and
there are people who just don’t understand how important our army translators are & how fortunate armys are to have them taking time out of their lives to translate, for free. they assist in forming a communication bridge between bts/i-army. armys shouldn’t take them for granted.
one thing that should always be acknowledged is that one fundamental aspect everyone involved in this smear campaign against bts fail to recognize is the fact that their efforts don’t extend beyond sk’s borders. that lady, kgovt, kmedia and sm/kakao have never once bothered to
people are forgetting we’ve gone from supporting one group to supporting one group & SEVEN soloists who are releasing music almost monthly. we have to take a step back & see we have a lot on our plate & are doing well. no other fandom could do what we’re doing in chapter two.
and it’s sad this even needs to be said but a nomination/win for any member(s) is a win for bts. the guys don’t view each other as competitors so you shouldn’t either.
there are too many in this fandom who are consumed by narcissism, entitlement and moral superiority. “bts owe us” “we made them successful” these statement show such a lack of respect for yourselves as well as the guys. a total lack of basic human decency. BTS DON’T OWE YOU SH!T.
can i just say i’ve never understood this narrative that’s constantly being pushed across this fandom that everything bts give army is “a company money grab” or “fan service.”
i’ve been an army for seven years and there’s never once been an instance where i thought bts words or
kim seokjin is arguably the hardest working man in the entertainment industry right now. he’s been booked and busy from the moment he left the barracks. put some respect on his name.
it’s laughable kmedia actually thought manufacturing a hate train against the tannies would work. they really thought we would just sit back and allow that mess to happen. kmedia is now learning the hard way never to underestimate the bond between bts and army.
if everybody and their cousin think that bts and army are annoying now just wait until we reunite next year. we are never gonna shut up. the world ain’t ready for us.
it should be acknowledged it takes courage to do what jk is doing rn with his solo project. the ability to trust your instincts knowing your choices will upset some while keeping your focus on doing what’s best for you knowing there are armys who will understand your vision.
the moment we stop working as a team and start viewing each other as the enemy is the moment kmedia, antis and lil miss 18% have won. don’t feed into their desire to destroy the tannies and our fandom. we must find a way to disagree without being disagreeable or disrespectful.
keep in mind we’re facing two ongoing smear campaigns (bcotters & hybe kdrama!) the fact that we’re here fighting to keep our fandom together & fighting to preserve bts’ reputation & legacy despite the hate speaks volumes. army, you deserve a pat on the back for your hard work.
the last thing we need right now is for 🐱’s name to be associated with that trash. pls leave his name out of this mess. we are already dealing with enough. keep your comments in the drafts and/or dms.
as a veteran army i’ll say this, nothing about what’s happening within our fandom right now is new. the guys/army have dealt with smear campaigns/targeted harassment literally since day one and we’ve always survived and continued to grow. we will get through this. we always have.
DON’T LET THIS KPOP KDRAMA DISTRACT YOU FROM THE FACT THAT NEXT YEAR BTS ARE RETURNING IN FULL FORCE AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ANYBODY CAN DO ABOUT IT! 🫶🏽💜
FOREVER WITH BTS
ALL BEHIND YOU BTS
WE’LL BE HERE TO STAY BTS
BTS BTS BTS
BTS PAVED THE WAY
BTS IS 7
BTS OUR
that lady is banking on the fact that many of you have manti leaning sentiments when it comes to that company and you relentlessly bashing the company the guys’ built is only playing into her hands. don’t allow your one-sided beef with that company outweigh your love for the
too many of you have forgotten you are an army for the five time grammy nominated bts. leave behind the childish kpoppie nonsense and evolve. stop the sabotage narrative, fanwars, toxic hashtags, solo/shipper/manti rhetoric. we are better than this. let’s start acting like it.
i’ve been hesitant to say anything because i didn’t want to jinx it and i can’t speak for everyone else’s tl but so far this comeback has been the most relaxed, chill, enjoyable and positive new release armytwt has had in a very long time. we needed this more than we realize.
the tannies and army are being unnecessarily harassed on a daily basis meanwhile every other artists on this planet and their fans get to enjoy their new music releases in peace speaks volumes to the true motivations behind this entire mess. people’s hypocrisy is showing.
running background checks on every musician, songwriter, producer, staffer, backup dancer, engineer, backup singer, employee, food deliverer, photographer, light technician, sound mixer that the tannies are in close proximity in order to direct hate towards the guys is insane.
one thing about kpop i’ll never understand is how people obsessively keep track of the company. in all my years as a massive music fan i can’t tell you which labels my favorite western artists are signed to. i’m a fan of the musician. i could care less about their label.
i’m gonna hold your hand when i say this. bts each made the decision to enlist together in order to complete their service as quickly as possible so that they could get back to army. it was entirely their choice not yours and if you can’t accept that then that’s a you problem.
kmedia intentionally taking things out of context to fabricate stories that try to turn bts and army against each other is a new low even for them and i’m not at all surprised. kmedia’s bitter hatred was always headed down this dark road and sadly here we are. shame on them.
yeah. i definitely think the concerts and unreleased content shown during bangbangcon have been very carefully selected with intentions and it’s speaking volumes. people are getting their feelings hurt today.
don’t let anyone convince you your support doesn’t matter or the guys
we know that the industry’s obsession with finding the “next bts” is deeply rooted in their desire to manufacture a group they can fully control, use for their own benefits and profit from.
one of the most difficult aspects to this current situation is the fact that yoongi and army are unable to directly communicate with each other and give one other that reassurance. what
@elcapitxxn
is doing by taking the time to view armys ig posts and likely relaying our
every time i see the name benny blanco i think about when he put together that scavenger hunt for armys to try and find the bad decisions usb then ended up having an armys meetup at night and the police showed up. that will forever be the most unhinged and unserious song promo.
i don’t think people fully understand just how much everyone and i mean EVERYONE has spent years convincing themselves that chapter two was gonna be the end of the guys. and now that we are just a couple months away from the start of each of the members returning to a fandom that
if you’ve been an army for a minute you automatically recognize the names of the bh ogs & know they don’t get involved in any drama, mind their business & only speak publicly about the music. this is how you know this sh!t is serious. that lady really messed with the wrong ones.
News 1 reports Pdogg (BTS producer), CEO Han Seongsoo (Pledis founder and producer of Seventeen), CEO So Seongjin (Source Music), Son Seongduk (BigHit performance director), Kim Seonghyun (BTS and Le Sserafim’s creative director), and Slow Rabbit (TXT producer) filed petitions in
the moment you chose to center a genocide around bts to where in your mind they bare some sort of responsibility is the moment you completely lost the plot. making a tragedy about kpop rather than those actually responsible. there’s absolutely no logic behind that. none.
giving bts the chance to have a chapter two where they can have an extended amount of downtime, experiment with their music and try new opportunities without the fear of losing armys might arguably be the greatest gift we’ve helped in giving them.
the thing that’s bothered me about this whole boycott mess is that at the end of the day we are a fandom who supports a band. we are not a political group. we are not an activist group. we are all here because of one common interest, the tannies. i’m not saying don’t be
i have no patience for those who push the “company is mistreating, sabotaging, not promoting [fill in the blank] so i must save them” false narrative. the way many of you especially in chapter two only see the guys as helpless victims in need of your saving is toxic and wrong.
seeing airport photos/videos on my tl despite the hell we have been witnessing kmedia put yoongi through is disappointing but given people in this fandom’s track record of consuming airport content no matter what it’s unfortunately not surprising.
armytwt is a community to enjoy all things bts with your fellow armys. this space should be filled with memes, edits, jokes, lyric discussions, projects, buying/streaming parties, etc. if you are mostly seeing free promo to other groups/idols now is the time to curate your tl.
you know you are an army when you casually bring up bts in any and every conversation like “oh yeah that reminds me of bon voyage 3 when namjoon said…”
i know my friends and family are sick of me. 😂
