I'm judging the TL so hard right now because some of you are making it painfully obvious that you've brought kpoppie mentality into ARMY spaces and are dressing it up as concern.
If you've genuinely been around ARMY for any real length of time, you'll know that K-ARMY, I-ARMY, J-ARMY, B-ARMY, C-ARMY, SEA-ARMY, whatever-the-fuck-letter-you-want-to-put-in-front-of-ARMY... we're all ARMY.
The goal was never to hate each other.
What's blowing my mind right now, or rather, EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. something goes down in Korea, is watching people see a post written in Hangul and immediately decide it represents all K-ARMY, all Koreans, or all Korean opinion.
Do some of you realise how xenophobic you sound?
You're matching the energy of what you assume is a Korean person because the post is written in Korean. Never mind that translation apps exist. Never mind that bad actors exist in every language. Never mind that half the people amplifying these posts can't read Hangul in the first place.
Apparently seeing Korean characters is enough for some people to decide:
"Yep. This is what K-ARMY think."
No. That's not how any of this works.
A random account posting in Korean does not represent millions of Korean fans any more than a random account posting in English represents all international fans.
It's honestly embarrassing watching some of you take a very specific discussion about venue management, event operations failures, lack of crowd control, transport planning, and local organisers and somehow turn it into K-ARMY vs I-ARMY.
Maybe stop worrying about whether a post is written in Hangul and start asking whether the person posting it actually fucking knows what the fuck they're talking about.
Because right now some of you are sounding a lot more like kpoppies than ARMY.
