the hate and cyberbullying directed at bts have become so normalized that they are no longer seen as real people. they are treated like characters who can be labeled and have fake stories made up about them just for the sake of likes and laughs forgetting that they’re real people
i remember back in 2020 i used to feel so embarrassed to tell people that i loved bts or k-pop because it was not so likeable those times & i faked being another artist’s fan to make my space between those “cool people” but now in 2026 ? i love saying i stan bangtan 🤍
