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.
Forbes about Namjoon owning 60% of Billboard Chart this Week:
"It’s not common for any musician to occupy half of all the spaces on a Billboard chart at one time, though it’s also not unheard of. This kind of performance is reserved only for the biggest names in the music business–those who can ensure a huge streaming or sales debut when they drop a new collection. Not many artists can muster such a response, but RM is among the few who can."
OH KIM NAMJOON YOU WILL BE FOREVER SUCCESSFUL 🔥
Okay so HEAR ME OUT, there's a possibility we could get NAMJOON a BBMA nomination, a BBMA in rap category, although it's hard considering all the rap albums this year, but it's worth a trial, so PLEASE MAINTAIN THE STREAMS, we NEED to KEEP RPWP in TOP 10 of Top RAP ALBUMS
I forgot to shower.
세수할 시간도 아까워. (Even washing my face feels like a waste of time.)
These lines were so real for anyone who’s struggled with their mental health.
Also rhyming in English and Korean to express this sentiment is just proof of his impeccable lyricism.
If you have already decided that you aren't going to fight to get 🐨 everything he deserves from his album, block me. If you are telling people that we can't get a Hot 100 entry for him less than 24 hours after the announcement, block me. Either you fight just as hard for him as+
