In this Bangtan shit for life because I never expected them to be perfect. I always expected them to be human and they haven't done anything that rises to the level of changing how I feel about them as people.

a lot of yโall overstep the boundaries of being a fan. what you want is control. you view yourselves as the moral authority and want to use your will to force bts to make what you deem are the correct choices or else.
โbts need to be educatedโ โwe need to find a way to reach them so they start making better decisionsโ
do yโall hear yourselves and how insane you sound? as a fan you arenโt entitled to tell bts how to live their lives, where to go, what to do, what friends to have, how to manage their careers. yโall gotta put your phones down and touch some damn grass because the parasocial is getting out of hand. the way so many of you speak about bts is no different then the way kpoppies harass, degrade and belittle their idols.
one thing our fandom needs to learn to do is to stop having quick responses to everything. self-regulate. not every personal opinion needs to be made public. sometimes for the sake of btsโ reputation and public image itโs best to just keep your mouth shut. at some point we have to be honest with ourselves and admit often times itโs us who are the problem and are the driving force behind the hate from kpop stans and negative press because our overreactions draw attention to things that would otherwise be left in the internet void which then fuels the public harassment.
you have every right to be bothered or uncomfortable with certain things without turning it into the next anti-bts smear campaign.
and one thing yโall have to come to terms with and this applies to any celebrity not just bts: yโall gotta stop putting celebrities on a pedestal and viewing them as some sort of beacon of virtue. you wonโt constantly be disappointed in the choices celebrities make if you stop treating them as your personal moral compass for whatโs right.
I saw this comment on Instagram about NamSeok being at the concert, and I feel the need to share it here because it was beautifully said. ๐๐

Q: What is your biggest fear?
๐จ: "My biggest fear is, of course, like losing these guys. I mean, they bother me really much, but I love them, and they're my endorphins"

โTonight i really tried to see your face & I saw a lot of different people you know, young, old, men, women, kids, people from all ages & from different races. It was really amazing to see many different kinds of people gathered in the same placeโ

๐ฏ: To me being a "True Champion" isn't about trying to become someone special. Just don't try too hard to be someone else. I think the more you stay true to yourself, the more confident you'll become.
