@VibeTickets BTS!! They’ve done a lot for the youth of our generation with their inspiring lyrics addressing mental health and politics, their Speak/LoveYourself movement and not only that but the members have some of the widest vocal ranges seen in singers! 😊
the concept of tannies getting dragged by kpop stans for wkorea event which infact raised money as a charity event but not a single outrage on met gala which literally had connection with jeff bezos, one of the person who fired activists for calling out him for funding ICE
i hope yoongi knows how many hearts he's touched with "may your trials end in full bloom" it's been years but that phrase is still engraved in my heart and soul
MET Museum refused the president of South Korea and his Korean art donations, telling them they are booked out. The president's Secretary said that when "he pulled BTS card" mentioning that BTS will look for another museum then, "the treatment completely changed".
Thanks to BTS, MET accepted the Korean art donated, proposed a small event, ultimately even opened their Roof Garden offering to host Korean Day, and even allowed the first lady access to the MET art storage. Even the presidental Secretary couldn't believe this is happening.
Let me repeat, all thanks to BTS, from the mouth of the presidental secretary himself. MET concluded BTS as much more valuable guest than the mf president of an important country.
Comparing BTS' impact to any other group in an insult.
This is why antis spoke too quickly, you don't play with the veterans of the music industry + SEASONED and PROFESSIONAL performers

BTS is playing a long game, not a fandom-validation game. What RM said today is the new direction & BEST direction for a once in a life time-act like BTS. let me break it down longevity in music & creative field for you:
first, “artists have to listen to fans to last” ; NOPE. the artists who only follow fan demand plateau fast. real longevity comes from evolution. look at acts that lasted decades; they didn’t loop nostalgia, they kept shifting their sound and identity. when you keep recycling past eras, you stop giving people a reason to stay curious. the audience already knows that version of you; there’s no tension, no evolution, no story moving forward. and in music, once curiosity dies, so does momentum.
“gaining new fans is tough with their new direction” ; it’s always tough bro. but that’s exactly why they’re pivoting. you don’t grow by feeding only existing fans, you grow by expanding your sound and reach. nostalgia might bring people back short-term, but it won’t build the next phase of their career. and BTS is too unique to be boxed in short term success. they are meant for expansion.
and the biggest flaw: “bring back old armys through nostalgia.” that’s a TRAP. once an artist starts relying on past eras to retain fans, they stop progressing. that’s how careers STALL. performing old songs? sure. building your direction around them? that’s regression. if bts kept feeding only what old fans miss, they’d be performing a version of themselves they’ve already outgrown. that’s not longevity, that’s maintenance. and maintenance doesn’t expand reach.
nothing will sound like “old BTS.” that’s the point. longevity in a creative field isn’t built on repeating what worked. it’s going to look rocky right now, that’s part of it. shifts always feel unstable before they make sense. fans will disagree, push back, say it’s not working, because they’re comparing it to what’s familiar. real transitions aren’t smooth. they’re messy, uncomfortable, and misunderstood at first. so I am choosing to not reach to conclusions too fast.
they’re not discarding fans, they’re refusing to be controlled by them. nostalgia keeps you loved for what you were. evolution is what makes you matter for what you become. and yk what, bts has served this fandom for 10 years no pause. and I want to back my seven this time and see what they do, so if you cannot, that's your problem. there are always other acts to support.
i can never get over the fact that it was raining so hard for bts first concert after six years. spiritually, rain symbolizes rebirth and renewal. it represents a washing away of the old to make way for new growth. all that water is necessary for life and prosperity.
we fought monks, shamans, cults, gov officials and agencies, the police, the military, the entire k-media and entertainment industry, random idol's mom, eachother and we made it to the other side holy hell.
