“Personally, I believe art is one of the strongest mediums for revolution” - Bang PD “There will never be another artist like them (BTS)”- Furuya Masayuki.
First of all, bts is not a usual kpop group controlled by its label. BTS members own over 1% of hybe stock. Secondly, they are under Big Hit, and with Bang PD and the Big Hit board have total control of their own decisions. Third, they have always CHOSE not to pay for playlisting or for radio spins, because it’s a corrupt system. That’s why we, ARMY, stepped in to ensure they got the recognition they deserved in the global stage. This comeback IS different that past ones, because GP interest in the group is HUGE. So, yes, we have to stream and buy hard, just like normal. But we are getting some radio play and GP streaming that is lifting us higher than usual. Plus, my platforms definitely are playlisting Arirang. I turn it on everyday.
let me tell you a painful truth. even though bts is one of the biggest giants of the mainstream, they won't get playlisting pushes from their label outside of their debut weeks, because these labels prefer not to allocate budgets if an artist's fandom is already very strong. if bts were an artist without a fandom, they would appear everywhere in front of you, and even if their daily streams dropped, they would still record 100k+ monthly listener increases on spotify. the reason bts's monthly listeners drop while their streams remain high is that they aren't pushed through playlisting; those who discover them come to the group through their own interest, not via autoplay. because bts lacks playlisting and autoplay, "london" is not among their top listener cities.
Fun fact: My husband sings everything he does to the tune of Hooligan. He made spaghetti for dinner and started singing, "watch these watch these noodles be smooth again." The best part is he doesn't realize he's doing it 😂
@sugawahsugawah At the hybe building? I thought they stopped doing that after moving the museum? We have a hybe building in LA, too. But they always host the pop ups elsewhere in the county. Far, far away. 😂
Why do I feel like Korea is getting a much nicer (and bigger) pop up than what we got in Vegas? It’s beautiful. Love the swim tie in and the army bomb display with the mirrors. The artwork of the members is gorgeous. I hope everyone gets pop up tickets!!!
Ok. Let’s try this again for the rest of the North America Tour. If you’re still sitting with extra tickets, please let your moots know, so we can try to help. Feel free to post them under this post - if you’re selling at cost. (I’m looking for Chicago tickets) But, buyers- remember, these sellers are unvetted. There could be scammers. So, 1. Verify they are ARMY on their profile. 2. Meet live online and have them unlock and open their TM account and show you the tickets in their account and 3. Pay with pay pal g&s and pay the ~3% service fee to protect your $$$. If they ask for any other kind of payment, walk away. Good luck and be safe! 💜💜
Finally sold my last set of extra BTS tickets. Whew. I was starting to worry I wouldn’t get that money back. If you’re still sitting with extra tickets, please let your moots know, so we can try to help. Feel free to post them under this post. But, everyone remember, they are unvetted. There could be scammers. So, be sure to meet live online and have them unlock and open their TM account and show you the tickets in their account and pay with pay pal g&s and pay the ~3% service fee to protect your $$$. If they ask for any other kind of payment, walk away. Good luck!

It’s crazy to me that the best album of their career came out of a two month song camp. That seems like such a short amount of time for them to actually be in the writing rooms and recording studios.
BTS might have one of the most interesting album structures of the 2026 rollout with ARIRANG
“ARIRANG PASS” is a metaphorical hill of hardship, longing & eventual relief. the album structure physically mimics this climb of the metaphorical hill 👇🏻
