It took two, almost three long years, but I can say, finally, that I stayed, thru ups and downs, I stayed. And I'm planning to stay for a long time. Thankfully, between you and me nothing has change💜
The Korea Times lied that #BTS' Arirang was a product of corporate pressure.
Interviews with Rolling Stone + the Zach Sang Show explicitly confirmed there was no creative pressure from Chairman Bang or HYBE. Both sources affirmed the project was free from corporate string-pulling
I got an email from Heroes for Children thanking the BTS ARMY. 💜
Jenny, the executive director, also made a short video thanking everyone. Video can be watched here:

So proud of you, ARMY! 🥹💜
@koostrous The founder clearly said in an interview that she uses fandoms and fan communities to raise funds... So I'll not be surprised if this move was calculated to create a buzz and engagements. .. And her in-house writer wrote a lot about BTS.
the pixel project’s decision to remove joon from their campaign isn’t real activism, it’s pure performative pr from what it looks like.
while holding public figures accountable is a key part of advocacy, targeting a south korean artist while completely ignoring western figures who have committed the same thing holds a double standard.
bashing non western artists while giving western celebrities a free pass reveals a distinct layer of bias within these organizations.
selective moral enforcement isn’t about standing up for values, it’s low risk damage control designed to look good online.
when an initiative applies its rules unevenly based on who is easiest to make an example of, it stops being advocacy and becomes xenophobic and fake. consistency is the bare minimum for real progress and performative activism is not it.
But also pretty sure they don’t include BTS in AOTY because they already have the winner that they want since it’s fan voted they couldn’t be too obvious so not including them and giving the award to other artist
Email it to hybe protect also

She has been following tae on his johs and jimin at airports
Remember when in 2023, a Korea Railroad (Korail) IT worker was caught illegally looking up Namjoon’s private train booking data, phone number, and address 18 times in 3 years and she was fired and Namjoon posted it on his Instastory?
I was wondering why SWIM is under the K-pop category at the #VMAs when the song is fully in English.
Does the K-pop category at award shows now classify songs based on the artist’s nationality rather than the language of the song? And if so, what exactly defines “K-pop” anymore?
Genuinely curious about where we draw that line.

Why did I just see this now 🥹
Jin quietly donated last year before his birthday, targeting 18-year-olds aging out of state care. His gift directly funded their exit support 🥹
Hello, @HANPASS1@HanpassMY@Hanpasspurchase, one of your employees by the name of Nazia is invading a celebrity’s personal info and it is an illegal privacy violation. This is not okay, I hope you can take the appropriate action against this unprofessional behaviour.
“The desire to exclusively engage w media & art by "unproblematic" artists is a direct result of viewing media consumption as an inherently political act, bc that is the supreme promise of Western prosperity and the religion of consumerism, and bc it's seemingly all that's left +
She filmed herself sobbing and screaming about RM and J-Hope attending Chris Brown’s show, framed it as a moral crisis, and harvested thousands of views, comments, and righteous ARMY pile-ons. Then, days later, she was in a suite at the Arlington BTS concerts, smiling for the camera, and posting the classic “I’m here but that doesn’t mean I fully agree with them” disclaimer.
That disclaimer is the tell. She understands the principle of separating the art from the artist when it protects her enjoyment and her content. She simply refuses to extend the same logic to the two people she claimed to be defending. The moment the outrage stops being profitable or convenient, the moral absolutism evaporates.
This isn’t principled fandom. It’s selective purity theater. You don’t get to demand that BTS members live under a higher ethical standard than the one you’re willing to apply to yourself the second tickets and suite access are on the line. If attending a concert “doesn’t mean endorsement,” then it never did—for anyone.
The hypocrisy is real. But the deeper problem is how easily parts of the fandom still reward the loudest, most emotional performance of morality… until the same person quietly cashes in on the very group they just publicly dragged.
