How do you feel when you see BTS' peers touring while they're on hiatus and some are going to the military this year?

I feel good about BTS taking this time and doing their service. As fans we all knew it was coming but to hear reports on how well Jin is doing becoming an instructor to assist the new soldiers and how much praise he is getting makes missing him so much easier

Which concerts are you planning to go?

I dunno yet! Depends who is coming this way or if I travel to Japan this year, I may try to catch some Jpn artists I like too.

Well, BTS peaking (even though they are literally in hiatus lol) won't definitely make Blackpink as the Biggest group. So, no need to worry about BTS' status after their military service.

in term of fandom, BTS is bigger. but I dont think they are better than BP in term of GP. BP first and only 2 kpop songs reach No.1 on Spotify Weekly chart, thats really mean something, particularly its not English song.

BP first ASIAN act to headline coachella is the one of the biggest events in music history, remember how Beyonce iconic performance in Coachella few years ago. if its not biggest, I dont know what you mean.

I don't care. Honestly I want BTS to be in hiatus like no music at all even solos or mix tapes. I just want them to be with their families and enjoy what they wanted to do no matter how simple is that. Just chilling. They've been working hard for the past years and achieve so much. They deserved it.

Not every English songs can be a hit. We certainly can see that with several Kpop groups including Blackpink when they released one. Ice cream underperformed despite being in English and a collab with a western artist. Funny thing is, BWL an actual Korean song and a collab with another western artists (same situation with IC) is an actual hit domestically and internationally.

Also, aren't their songs full of english track especially their last album? Even Billboard hailed it as an 'english album'. Just to compare BTS only have 3 songs in English language while Blackpink have so much more. So IDK what are you implying about that lol.

It's not BTS fault that their English releases are an actual hit to the GP while other groups attempted to do so and failed.

Just wait & see :)

Blinks inserting Blackpink when this is clearly just about how army feels about BTS not having concert is so needy? Cringy? Pick-me syndrome?

I know you want to gloat when BTS can’t do concert but seriously. Have a bit of class.

To be honest, I am impressed how BP growth in the last few years a d consider they have not peaked yet (no English track release, minimal work, coachella headliner next year ) . BTS currently peaked but not sure how they can grow after military service. Their solos have been quite commercially disappointed.
