I’m honestly furious. This MV is so impactful, so honest and raw, and this is one of the few times I absolutely will not tolerate those “ARMY” accounts who constantly mistranslate and lie - with no real accountability - to make money off of our emotions in yet another lie.
I’m done. Fuck Carolyne. Fuck anyone defending a person who uses us and our emotions for money.

Whether you are using Tidal , Amazon Music, Spotify, Apple or YouTube and YTM we certainly hope you are buying on iTunes and using playlists on your streaming service of choice. Remember though even though our streams count globally we want them to count for our NZ charts and we need to make this work.

Can we be a little real for a moment?
Every time concert tours are announced, we see people asking why BTS never comes to New Zealand.
The truth is that companies don't make decisions based on passion alone. They look at measurable indicators of demand: streams, sales, chart performance, engagement, and purchasing behaviour.
We have a brand-new BTS song that was released on Friday, and it's not showing on the NZ Spotify charts.
Now, before anyone says "but NZ is different", that's true. We are a small market, and a lot of what charts here is driven by mainstream exposure and casual listeners. BTS doesn't always have the same level of visibility in New Zealand as some Western artists.
But that's exactly why our support matters.
When we stream on Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube, buy music through NZ-recognised retailers like iTunes, purchase albums locally, and support official releases, we're helping create measurable demand in New Zealand.
Those numbers matter.
Not because streaming alone will bring BTS to New Zealand, but because labels, promoters, venues, and companies like Live Nation look at data when assessing markets. They want evidence that people here are listening, buying, and engaging.
We know the love for BTS exists in NZ. Let's make sure the numbers show it too.

Okay for armys going tomorrow you CANNOT cut through West to South. And the merch pickup stadium is a bit of a distance away. Highly recommend getting there early.
@tokyomoonchild7@myoce@HYBEOFFICIALtwt Pleased you are ok and you survived scary as , however instead of blaming HYBE how about targeting some of those stadium personal that most likely are employed by the city of Busan and we’re slack arses for this.
