If anyone wants to print flyers 👇 for upcoming tour stops, I made some very basic ones with the BTS Fanclub Etiquette Rules and Concert Safety. I will take to LV stops. I think we have to share AND make an effort to talk to other fans BEFORE the show starts. PDF version in 🧵
The #1 top priority of the fandom is protecting BTS’ safety and privacy, if you are engaging in behaviour or content made by those engaging in behaviour jeopardizing either, you are not acting as an army
it's sad because in the d-day tour docs, yoongi talked about how in the past he'd spent most of his time on tour in hotel rooms and wanted to change that in the future and explore cities more- and now they can't do that without being hounded.
when he came to chicago for d-day, you didn't see any videos of him even though he visited massive landmark travel spots like millennial park- now they can't even step outside their hotel without being photographed.
when you excuse this by saying "they're celebrities, they know this will happen" you're deliberately erasing the many times tannies have traveled and army have been respectful and not photographed them. during d-day nyc, my irl army friend accidentally ended up at the same restaurant as him- she didn't bother him, didn't take photos or post about it online and tell everyone where he went.
you're going to confine those seven men to their hotel rooms, the very thing that wore them down pre-2022 and brought them to the brink of exhaustion. you should be ashamed if you excuse any of this and i want nothing to do with you.
Been getting nasty comments again on TikTok but this time about how I’m ruining my lightstick
I’ve been deleting them but it’s been hurting my feelings today like am I really making it look that bad?
I already talked to a few armys on my flight who are seeing the tannies for the first time. I'm literally so happy for them like even more than for myself?? 😭

ARIRANG is, in part, an inheritance of war
Black American music reached S. Korea largely through the US military complex*
But the album is also personally shaped by the members’ own military conscription. A legacy of a Cold War order
What emerges is soul, or a historically wounded resonance: Korean & Black musical traditions & stories meeting through unequal racial histories & imperial arrangements. All through the power of music & performance
Music cannot absolve this violence of history, but it can transform what empire made possible into something more intrinsically human & awe-inspiring
—
*US military radio, USO circuits, clubs, camptown economies & the presence of Black American soldiers (some who were conscripted themselves) whose music helped shape the conditions from which modern Korean pop would emerge
