Stop asking for a collab and praising him because he mentioned bt5 on his song. Y'all so gullible, my God 😭. STREAM ARIRANG, he is our competition!! If we don't focus today, tomorrow the numbers will be in the pits. FOCUS!!!

DO NOT INTERACT WITH FOOTBALL FANS. DO NOT FALL FOR THEIR RAGEBAITS They will try to say all sort of shit against BTS. Let the twts flop. Especially the ones with blue tick!!

There seems to be a surge of backlash toward BTS lately from people clearly rattled by how massive and successful their concert tour has been so far. The usual insults are back again. Questions about their masculinity. Mockery of ARMY. The same tired assumptions. It reminded me of something that happened a few years ago. One of my male students, after finding out I was a huge ARMY, asked me if I was gay. Now, in Korea, the relationship between teacher and student is traditionally built on a fairly rigid hierarchy. Students usually do not speak casually to teachers, challenge them, or ask personal questions. But I have always been a different kind of teacher. I treat my students warmly and as equals, and tell them to ask me anything. They do not even call me seonsaengnim. They call me saam, a more casual and affectionate way of addressing a teacher. So when he asked me that question, I did not see it as hostility. He was curious, not malicious. I told him that I support gay rights and equal marriage, but loving BTS does not make me gay. I told him that I love BTS because of their extraordinary writing, rapping, singing, and dancing talents. That I love the sincerity and meaning in their lyrics, and the way they consistently treat people with kindness, warmth, and positivity. And of course, because I am me, the poor student then had to sit through a very long lecture from me about masculinity and how narrow definitions of it can limit people. To this day, I still find it strange that some people think appreciating artistry, emotional honesty, beauty, or kindness somehow threatens masculinity. If anything, BTS helped expand the idea of what masculinity can look like for millions of people around the world. And then there is the mockery of ARMY itself. Some people keep repeating this stereotype that ARMYs are lonely women with no lives who pour all their money into BTS. The assumption is not only lazy, but honestly disconnected from reality. First, there are many male ARMYs, like me. On Korea’s music streaming platform Melon, around 35% of BTS listeners are male. I even checked the listener statistics for “Swim” today (May 12, 2026), and men made up 37% of the listeners. Futhermore, the ARMYs I have met are some of the most socially active, accomplished, and creative people I know. They have vibrant family lives, meaningful careers, and talents of their own in writing, art, music, design, education, and countless other fields. One ARMY friend from America who visits Korea often holds a major executive position while also involved with multiple organizations. No, people do not love BTS because they are lonely. We love BTS because they represent the kind of humanity we want to see more of in the world. Empathy. Hard work. Vulnerability. Kindness. Emotional honesty. Growth. Being ARMY has enormously enriched my life. Without BTS and ARMY, how would I have ended up with close online and offline friends across the United States, Americas, Africa, Europe, Oceania, and Asia? The fandom opened doors to human connections I otherwise never would have experienced. And it is funny to watch some men mock women for passionately following BTS when those same people spend enormous amounts of time, money, and emotional energy on football in America or soccer in Europe. Nobody calls them lonely for flying across countries to watch matches, memorizing statistics, wearing jerseys, or centering weekends around sports. Human beings naturally gather around the things they love. Music is no different. BTS is no different. As for Jimin’s hair, which is somehow also causing backlash, I love it. It immediately reminded me of Brad Pitt’s hair in Troy, where he played Achilles. Achilles was supposed to be a Mediterranean Greek warrior, yet nobody complained that Pitt had flowing Swedish blonde hair down to his shoulders. People accepted it because he looked charismatic and amazing on screen. That is exactly how Jimin looks with his long blonde hair. I hope he keeps it throughout the entire concert tour.

@jmini13_ You will make it happen!! I’ve been saving and preparing since the canceled MOTS 2020 tour. Arirang is mending my 💔. No one is dampening my happiness!

My goal is to see ARIRANG 20 times ✨ 5 tickets secured so far 🫡 3 x GOYANG 2 x BUSAN let’s do this 💜

You know teasing each other over how loud the different stops were/will be is all fun and games until it isn't. Each stop and crowd will have its own character, and each stop will be as amazing and as much fun, and BTS will enjoy each stop and will always love ARMY who love them.

I really hope you all won’t be attending this as it’s run by boycotters who use the tannies to make money.

so sweet how taehyung still sent someone from his team to pay for the corn dog even after they said they gave it to him gladly and expected nothing, they had already received messages from fans offering to pay too, and even ordered extra in case he came back, cutest story ever 😭

The funniest thing about being an Army is you never know what you will wake up to. One day you see them on the Presidents balcony waving at 500000Fans, the next you see this:🤣

Why is One More Night about to leave the chart? Nonononononnnn Plus the Bell needs less than 3M to reach 100 on Spot Playlist with both and SWIM open.spotify.com/playlist/6EM8a…

@BABANGTAN_613 Congratulations!!! 🎉

Look who just graduated from Qatar University! 💜 “call a nurse, before it gets worse. I’m a really really need a first aid!” — call me! 💉 #BTSARMY

[#오늘의방탄] 260506 BTS visited the National Palace in CDMX #방탄소년단 #BTS #BTSatTheNationalPalace

In 2014, 7 members of BTS were out of the street of LA, asking 200 ppl to come to their surprised concert. Today, almost 12 years later, without even performing, they gathered a crowd of a staggering number of 50K people, enough to fill a stadium within 5 hours of announcement.

Con una hermosa sencillez BTS saludó a su “A.R.M.Y” y a cerca de 50 mil personas que se congregaron en el zócalo para saludarles. Me da mucha alegría haber podido darles este momento de júbilo. El grupo transmite en sus canciones mensajes positivos que fomentan una cultura de paz e inclusión.

Es el colmo!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 En la venta de merch de @bts_bighit están llevándose la merch los revendedores y los vendedores están dándoles las facilidades !! Que onda @Profeco

ARIRANG is really having a generational run, not only is this BTS’ most successful album by far, but if its longevity continues it’s aiming to be one of the most successful albums of all time! Keep giving the album love and let’s see how far we can take it!
