Cerca de 50 mil ARMY se reunieron frente a Palacio Nacional para recibir a @bts_bighit, quienes hicieron una aparición especial desde uno de los balcones para saludar al público que abarrotó el Zócalo capitalino. La visita ocurrió en el marco de su gira Arirang Tour y de su encuentro con la presidenta @Claudiashein, quien destacó los lazos culturales entre México y Corea del Sur. Los integrantes agradecieron el cariño del público mexicano y expresaron su emoción por volver al país. @GobiernoMX

@LetsBeGoodHuman Just got up, checked my phone, and you already found them!!! What a beautiful gift you’re giving them, Jen. Thanks to you and other ARMY pitching in, this mother and daughter get their wishes to come true. This is the real essence of ARMY. 💜

Update: Cecy & I have communicated through whatsapp, she's very moved by all the love she's receiving and can't believe everything that is happening. There's already a fundraiser open for them so they can go on Sunday, which is also Mother's Day in Mexico, if you want to contribute. She was very honest about it and told me my help was not necessary anymore, so I sent her funds for Merch/drinks&food instead. (ss) givebutter.com/from-hope-to-c… The fundraiser and purchase of the tix is organized by the Tampa Bangtan Besties on IG ( instagram.com/tampabangtanbe… ) I am very appreciative of all the replies my tweet got. ARMY is and will always be, THE BEST 💜

ARMY is a fandom, but our role in BTS’s story goes beyond typical fan action. I would call what we do as collective stewardship: a form of support that becomes part of the ongoing care of artists & their art Kpop had already made fan participation part of idol culture. Fans were invited to show support in ways that could be quantified: album sales, music show votes, streaming numbers, fan projects, memberships & public displays of support. Earlier idol fandoms had their own forms of organisation. In the 1990s, official fan clubs often elected representatives who helped coordinate fan collective action. Later, companies took a larger role in managing fan clubs through official staff & fan managers BTS entered through that lineage, while also unsettling some of its precedents. Much of their fan support developed through decentralised fan labour: translation accounts, voting guides, chart education, archives, explainers, donation projects & local fanbases. This gave ARMY a different shape from earlier idol fandoms BTS also differed from earlier idols. They were disciplined performers, but also clearly young people still becoming themselves: uncertain, funny, tired, ambitious, self-conscious & unusually open about failure. ARMY mirrored this. We were not only coordinated or goal-driven, but also ever-learning & hungry. Both artist & fandom grew up together in public Without the backing of a major agency, they depended on fans who could circulate clips, translate lyrics & interviews, explain context, organise voting, teach chart rules, counter hostile narratives & keep the work moving across languages & platforms. ARMY inherited the competitive & devotional practices of Kpop fandoms, but did not stop there This is why patronage is too narrow as the main term. It captures the money involved: albums, tickets, merchandise, streaming, fan projects & other forms of material support. But ARMY’s role cannot be reduced to economic contribution alone. Stewardship captures the wider care: helping BTS’s music travel & resist distortion Collective stewardship names the point at which fan action becomes a sustaining practice. It is the collective care of the conditions that allow BTS’ music to endure across borders, cultures & generations

According to Mexico Media, It is unprecedented in Mexican History for an International Artist to stand on the royal palace's central balcony with the president and greet citizens. #BTS is the FIRST and ONLY to receive this honour!!

Awwwwwww 💜🥺

YOU PROVED IT MY KING

I was in elementary school when the Beatles visited the Philippines. Michael Jackson was from my generation. So I can firmly say that only BTS is at their level of global fame and popularity. What’s different? None of the fandoms of the Beatles and MJ come close to ARMY.

x.com/VLifeToDo/stat… ​Q: Which filming scene was the most fun? BTS 2.0 MV Director Lee Hangyeol: "When we were filming the elevator scene where the music cuts out and they appear that was really fun. But what was truly fun was actually during Suga-ssi's part. I gave the other members a very simple direction: I told them it would be great if they were doing something else, just acting distracted, while Suga-ssi was rapping. ​Every single action you see from the members in that scene was an ad-lib based on their own ideas. ​For instance, I never told Taehyung-ssi to lie down on the floor to put on his clothes. ​Even now, I really hope everyone watches that part again and pays close attention to each member one by one."

The heart shape WOW to a massive 50k Mexico crowd! 😘
