Never downplay what this fandom has done for Bangtan. Hindi magkakaroon ng Swimside event na ’yan kung hindi dahil sa mga numero (streams) na pinaghirapan ng mga tinatawag ninyong “toxic” at “chart-obsessed” fans.
Those numbers didn’t just appear out of nowhere—they came from consistent effort, time, and dedication. Hindi lang basta “trip” ang streaming at voting; organized, strategic, at collective effort ’yan ng fandom.
At kung titingnan nyo mismo yung event, it literally exists because of fan engagement. Brands like Spotify don’t just create large-scale fan events randomly—they base it on data, demand, at kung gaano ka-active ang audience.
Kaya nakakatawa na mina-mock ninyo yung streaming culture, pero kayo rin yung nakikinabang sa results nito. Yung events, visibility, hype, at opportunities—lahat ’yan rooted sa parehong effort na dini-dismiss ninyo.
We, PH ARMY, didn’t just “show up”—WE built this momentum. From streaming parties, fanbase coordination, hanggang sa pag-push ng numbers globally, that’s what made the Philippines a viable stop for something like #SpotifyBTSSWIMSIDEManila
So no, hindi siya simpleng “optional fan behavior” lang na pwedeng i-dismiss. Because without those “numbers”, those “streaming and voting activities” you keep downplaying, wala ring ganitong level of recognition, engagement, and events in the first place.
@livenationph My only concern for PH concert, sana naman you let the real fans get the tickets. ARMYs deserves to watch BTS. Hindi yung may nilalaan kayo for "VIP"s. Dont let scalpers take advantage. Be fair to ARMYs. Sana kasing strict ng Goyang presale.
