When I say comic book fuckboi, I dont just mean the boys (though statistically there are more of them), I also mean the females who think that theyre special unicorns because they love comics & will parrot the misogynistic | racist | elitist behaviour of their male counterparts.

"Aliens" is the ultimate, unapologetic power move from a group that has officially outgrown the need for Western validation.
Grammys treating BTS like 'ALIENS' in their own industry is exactly why the song 'ALIENS' had to be made. It’s a brilliant, sarcastic flip-off to overt industry gatekeeping that proves BTS doesn't need mainstream validation, they define their own narrative.

"You'll never love me like the way you did before ...", they sing.
And they're right -- I love @BTS_twt even more than I did before.

So wait @TicketmasterSG is allowed to limit VIP packages during BTS ARMY Pre-Sale? Are ticketing platfoms allowed to do this now? I thought ALL seats should be released during ARMY Pre-Sale? Who are they holding these seats for?

[Felicity Smoak is ARMY⁷. @fms_ponytail]

ugh

[r⁷ ⊙⊝⊜ (listening to arirang) @epipeny]

any queue with above 1.2mil you can assume it's because the organiser didn't bother blocking bypass bots

[Felicity Smoak is ARMY⁷. @fms_ponytail]

"VIP Allocation for today is sold out" does that mean that GoLive Asia is holding on to seats for their Live Nation Pre-Sale tomorrow? I think all seats should be released during BTS ARMY Pre-sale days. Or am I missing something here? @BIGHIT_MUSIC @HYBEOFFICIALtwt @GoLiveAsia

@AudrieOT7 @BTS_twt This is brilliant. 💜

The Tannies look as impatient as I feel. It's like they're saying, "What's taking you so long?!?! We're waiting." I feel very judged 🤣🤣🤣

Namjoon seeing this and posting it after saying on live the night before that he feels people don’t really listen to lyrics anymore is everything 🥹 EVERYTHING.

The army who did this. Thank you

There seems to be a surge of backlash toward BTS lately from people clearly rattled by how massive and successful their concert tour has been so far. The usual insults are back again. Questions about their masculinity. Mockery of ARMY. The same tired assumptions.

It reminded me of something that happened a few years ago. One of my male students, after finding out I was a huge ARMY, asked me if I was gay.

Now, in Korea, the relationship between teacher and student is traditionally built on a fairly rigid hierarchy. Students usually do not speak casually to teachers, challenge them, or ask personal questions. But I have always been a different kind of teacher. I treat my students warmly and as equals, and tell them to ask me anything. They do not even call me seonsaengnim. They call me saam, a more casual and affectionate way of addressing a teacher.

So when he asked me that question, I did not see it as hostility. He was curious, not malicious.

I told him that I support gay rights and equal marriage, but loving BTS does not make me gay. I told him that I love BTS because of their extraordinary writing, rapping, singing, and dancing talents. That I love the sincerity and meaning in their lyrics, and the way they consistently treat people with kindness, warmth, and positivity.

And of course, because I am me, the poor student then had to sit through a very long lecture from me about masculinity and how narrow definitions of it can limit people.

To this day, I still find it strange that some people think appreciating artistry, emotional honesty, beauty, or kindness somehow threatens masculinity. If anything, BTS helped expand the idea of what masculinity can look like for millions of people around the world.

And then there is the mockery of ARMY itself. Some people keep repeating this stereotype that ARMYs are lonely women with no lives who pour all their money into BTS. The assumption is not only lazy, but honestly disconnected from reality.

First, there are many male ARMYs, like me. On Korea’s music streaming platform Melon, around 35% of BTS listeners are male. I even checked the listener statistics for “Swim” today (May 12, 2026), and men made up 37% of the listeners.

Futhermore, the ARMYs I have met are some of the most socially active, accomplished, and creative people I know. They have vibrant family lives, meaningful careers, and talents of their own in writing, art, music, design, education, and countless other fields. One ARMY friend from America who visits Korea often holds a major executive position while also involved with multiple organizations.

No, people do not love BTS because they are lonely. We love BTS because they represent the kind of humanity we want to see more of in the world. Empathy. Hard work. Vulnerability. Kindness. Emotional honesty. Growth.

Being ARMY has enormously enriched my life. Without BTS and ARMY, how would I have ended up with close online and offline friends across the United States, Americas, Africa, Europe, Oceania, and Asia? The fandom opened doors to human connections I otherwise never would have experienced.

And it is funny to watch some men mock women for passionately following BTS when those same people spend enormous amounts of time, money, and emotional energy on football in America or soccer in Europe. Nobody calls them lonely for flying across countries to watch matches, memorizing statistics, wearing jerseys, or centering weekends around sports. Human beings naturally gather around the things they love. Music is no different. BTS is no different.

As for Jimin’s hair, which is somehow also causing backlash, I love it. It immediately reminded me of Brad Pitt’s hair in Troy, where he played Achilles. Achilles was supposed to be a Mediterranean Greek warrior, yet nobody complained that Pitt had flowing Swedish blonde hair down to his shoulders. People accepted it because he looked charismatic and amazing on screen.

That is exactly how Jimin looks with his long blonde hair. I hope he keeps it throughout the entire concert tour.

[Felicity Smoak is ARMY⁷. @fms_ponytail]

Exactly. We know that thes concert organisers will *try* to do the same in other cities.

Good morning #MyARMY

It’s a new day for us to continue being loud in demanding transparency and accountability from @livenationmy @GoLiveAsia for #BTSinKL

We must continue to reach out to @HYBEOFFICIALtwt and @BIGHIT_MUSIC so that they will look into this matter and take action!

This will be the thread where I will put all the contacts that you should email and tag, as well as email templates for you to use.

[BTSchartsMX🇲🇽 @mxcharts]

Lo que está sucediendo en malasia es sumamente injusto, mientras los fans han esperado años parece que lugares VIP se estuvieron vendiendo a influencers de manera anticipada.

Apoyemos a ARMY de Malasia usando los hashtags ¿porque la venta de boletos va a continuar siendo una pesadilla en la mayoría de los países @HYBEOFFICIALtwt?

This happened for SG the last time in 2019, and what happened was BH at that time cancelled all those tickets and released them close to the concert dates. Tag and email them. If there's anyone who can take action it'll be them
