dee⁷💽 ARIRANG

🖤🌃 intro!

americans are so used to boy bands not doing shit on stage this was like the second coming of christ

@CalamityPink Her hyyh hobi daughter fit

Yall weren't hallucinating she really blonde omg 😭

the concept of namjoon liking reels of an account named “bts twinks”

The way they predicted the ARIRANG leak and lawsuit…

Him admitting his insomnia got to the point where he was awake for 3 days and literally thought he was going to die..I can’t imagine how horrible that felt because I’ve felt my lowest after all nighters

Bugün bu gördüğünüz güzeller güzeli kadının öldürülmesinin üzerinden tam 3 yıl geçti. Bir lojman dolusu polis tarafından olayın üstü kapatılalı, intihar yalanı söyleneli, Aysun anne ağlamaya başlayalı, tam 3 yıl oldu. #Yeşimsiz3Yıl oldu ve hala adaleti sağlanmadı, sesi duyulmadı.

@SLAYYY0NCE Read the replies and saw she likes Candace Owens too….

so to sum this up, my sister is a barb, a chris brown defender, a justin bieber stan, a hostep, an fba that is eagerly calling black biracials "race traitors" AND attended a kanye concert.......just a MESS

@iamyaraa__ @ntrvp6 I’ve been into kpop for 10 years and genuinely it’s in the top 5 hate trains of all time

@ntrvp6 plss i always see people talking about the hate train in 2024 😭 i missed that era but i want to see screenshots cus it couldnt have been that bad right

how it felt searching le sserafim on any social media platform in 2024

he looks so intimidating

pulling a massive crowd like this as a solo artist and make them sing with you word for word is insane.

proof that bts was always the risk taker, challengers they say they are now: in their debut years (2013–2015), their music was reacting to real stuff; school pressure, growing up, society’s expectations. BTS made their debut with an aggressive, 90s-inspired hip-hop sound in "No More Dream," in contrast to the refined, uplifting idol pop trend of the time. It was more like them figuring out who they were and pushing against the system rather than fitting. albums like 2 Cool 4 Skool and O!RUL8,2? weren’t “safe” at all, they were very bold for rookies. even back then, you can see it clearly: they weren’t asking fans what they wanted. they just wanted to put out music that said what needed to be said. then comes hyyh era (2015–2016), which is where a lot of us feel super emotionally attached. but what we forget is that shift itself was risky. they moved away from hard-hitting hip-hop into something more emotional, storytelling-focused, dealing with youth, loss, and change. this was incredibly risky because it was long term storytelling. that was the unfamiliar direction at the time. the “old BTS” people miss now? that was once the “new BTS” that not everyone accepted. and honestly, this pattern has just kept repeating over the years. after that, Wings (2016–2017) pushes even further, getting into themes like temptation, individuality, and psychology, with literary influences layered in. they risked losing fanbase because of sophistical sound. not exactly fan-service content if you ask me (there was discomfort then too). then LY (2017–2018) where hey moved from pure pop to dramatic, and MOTS (2019–2020) go deeper into self-love, identity, and introspection. that's def not a group playing it safe. then you hit the global era. Dynamite, Butter, PTD. This is where people misunderstood them the most. they were just expanding their audience. and there's nothing wrong with that. they were navigating their western/global audience. they never stayed still. every time they reached a point where they could’ve played it safe, they did the opposite. they challenged themselves creatively, and at the same time, challenged the expectations around them. bts are evergreen artists.

joon & bts are easy to love as men because they sincerely embody and demonstrate a kind of tender masculinity and emotional maturity that rarely, if at all, exists in the public eye. especially in asian societies. theyre role models for boys amidst an epidemic of incel culture.

ILLIT & BTS are so sibling coded.

All tracks from BTS’ “ARIRANG” remain in the top 50 on Billboard Global 200 for a third consecutive week, joining Taylor Swift’s “The Life of a Showgirl” as the only albums in history to achieve this.
