Somewhere between “I can do it myself” and “why am I doing everything myself” is the entire female experience.

What a horrible time to be alive for everyone who is educated and has empathy.

Sharing an ARMY’s post from Weverse because I was moved by her love and sincerity:

“I’m feeling a bit sad today, so I’d like to talk here, maybe because I’ve always felt comfortable enough with BTS to let my voice flow freely.

I’ve been in the fandom for many years. I’ve defended the members from many things that have happened, and I’ve understood and supported them when they decided to share their perspectives on various issues, including the fandom's own attitudes. I was all ears for you for years, always trying to understand you and change what you didn’t like about us.

That’s why today, I’d like you to listen to me.

I joined this fandom because I always felt that BTS genuinely cared about listening to us, that your words and actions were authentic, and that I had found a place where I could feel understood. I’ve always believed you are good people, and I still do; otherwise, I wouldn’t be posting this.

I don’t blame you for the things CB has done. I find him despicable, and I’ve always felt nothing but disgust and repulsion toward him. He has done horrible things for which, obviously, no member of BTS is to blame, and which I am certain you would never condone. However, I can’t overlook the fact that giving him visibility through concert stories and photos feels like a huge mistake. Even if you don’t intend to, that content reaches thousands of people and ends up cleaning the image of someone who doesn't deserve it and who should be far away from the stage. I don’t believe that was your intention, but sometimes we do things that trigger consequences we don't foresee, even if it wasn't our goal. And it’s okay to ask ourselves if that’s the image we want to project, if that’s the effect we want to create.

I get it, nobody is perfect, and I’m not saying otherwise. I think we all have our own contradictions, but I personally like it when people point mine out so I can grow and become a better person. BTS has said many times that you’d love ARMY to be the kind of fandom that doesn't put you on a pedestal, allowing you to make mistakes and learn from them.

I know you would love to live a normal life where everything you do isn't judged by thousands of people, but unfortunately, that’s not the reality, and the decisions you make carry a lot of weight. If a person like CB continues to be respected in the industry and keeps filling stadiums, it’s because many people choose to ignore what he did and pretend it never happened. But it did happen, and none of it can be erased. And it hurts me deeply that you chose to look the other way. You are not to blame for what CB did, nor are you the only ones supporting him, but it hurts particularly with you because you are people I love and hold in high regard. Many people can do something I consider wrong, but it will always hurt more coming from a friend, my family, or you in this case. Not because I hold you to a different standard, but because I hold a deep affection for you. I suppose you can understand that feeling; it also hurts you when ARMY makes mistakes, and you also expect a lot from us because you know us and love us.

This doesn't erase all the support women have received from you, I do NOT believe any of that was performative. I believe in you, I believe you are good people, but I also believe good people can make mistakes, and I think you made one here. I know that you, as men, have no idea what we as women go through, and that’s why I’d like you to understand how painful it is for us to see people like CB continue to receive love and applause despite having caused so much harm to some of us. It feels so lonely and desolate, as if music mattered more than our lives and our integrity.” (Cont)

“they’ll apologize.”
“they won’t apologize.”

prepare yourself for either outcome. digest it. sit with what each means to you. then reassess accordingly. you cannot control what comes next, only what you do with it.

[Jom🌶️ @lilspicypepper7]

This did make me realize how down this all made me today and perhaps my emotional regulation shouldn’t depend on these guys to cheer me up, I need to find more grass to touch

[Sarah 🪭☁️💜 @SarahChat]

@kkugiseok This did not age well

[Sarah 🪭☁️💜 @SarahChat]

@caraksha103 I don’t think I’ve ever gotten an email and not thought this 🙃

[Sarah 🪭☁️💜 @SarahChat]

@lilis13hndyn @taeguide This vid is his right ear. He told us tonight it’s his left ear with the hearing issue. Many people experience hearing loss when serving in the military cause of repeated exposure to artillery-related sounds.

@912daze @by_iseria Does anybody have pc scans for these yet? I’m trying to use them for freebies 😭

[truths⁷ 🌱 @bangtanagan]

you think you see bts and it’s like wow great check that off the list I saw bts! but actually you see bts and you immediately start thinking about when you can see bts again

[Sarah 🪭☁️💜 @SarahChat]

@seokiescans Ugh nooo. Why does one person have to ruin something for everyone?!? Especially when waiting for the Arirang Round 2 Tour pcs! 😭

[Sarah 🪭☁️💜 @SarahChat]

@blondvhope DM’d you :)

[sophie @thvchapters]

AND F***CK YHE GRAMMYS

[yaz⁷ @_sgminseven]

The Grammys were a goal, BTS turned them into an option

[♡ @amlysbang]

I don't think people fully understand the magnitude of this decision.

Some of the music industry's most respected producers, writers, engineers, and creatives worked on ARIRANG. A project built to the highest artistic standard. One producer even spoke publicly about hoping the album would receive Grammy recognition.

Then the Recording Academy introduced a category specifically for Asian pop.

And BTS chose not to submit.

Think about that. The biggest musical project of the year. One of the strongest commercial and artistic contenders. A project that could have competed across multiple major categories. It simply won't be in the race because the artists chose principle over prestige.

Moves like this don't happen often. When artists at BTS' level willingly walk away from the biggest stage in music, the conversation shifts because of what they refused to endorse.
