BTS will slowly fade into irrelevancy and Armys won't admit it

their already flops nobody cares for them now except army

Quote from ava-beatrix

i'm writing this as a longtime army (since i need u/dope). as much as i like bts, after everyone returns from their service, bts will slow down group promotions and will basically go into hibernation as a group. they already haven't had an actual album release since MOTS7, which was four years ago and two and a half years before the first member of bts enlisted, and all members besides jin have released solo eps/albums, so they will be focusing on solos for the time being. i honestly think that we will get one more album in 2026 then bts as a group will stop releasing music as a group for a long time.

I predicted that in last year

BTS' strategic situation in 2026 will be much worse than 2021

At the end of 2021, BTS had no equals on the face of the earth.

Everyone , except the two I will cite, was either its friend or at least was neutral.

Only The Weeknd, whom, to this day , has not met BTS and tried to undermine it by inviting Jennie (BlackPink) to his show, and BTS's long time archenemy IU opposed it.

However, with few allies, the Weeknd could not do anything to BTS, and IU only had influence within South Korea, although that proved to be fatal. No one can claim more credits…

We all will fade into irrelevance

Quote from ava-beatrix

no, i'm just saying this is likely to happen. this is what happened (is happening) to EXO, who while not as popular as BTS (though who is?), were impacted by members going to military. just looking at obsession vs exist, they are getting half the streams they did prior to enlistment. kpop stans and especially armies are like this -- unless you're a blink and used to being starved a large majority of their fanbase will age out or lose interest.

Even the mighty IU was defeated badly by Bibi afte a 2 year hiatus.

For all practical purposes BTS has been in hiatus since 2021, and 5 years is too long of a gap to recover from

I think they've managed to reach legacy act status. I can't speak for other countries, but in the US, they've somehow gained a lot of fans over the pandemic and during their group hiatus. I think after their initial comeback, they may not chart as well but will still fill stadiums when they tour as a group every five or six years.

See this is the type of thread that will be bumped when they come back and have people clowning you. I don't know why people do this. Someone on here just a day after one group debuted said they flopped but they are already doing better than their peers.

This time I can't even say it's hardcoreblink jinx of 2020 before Dynamite came out and sent them into a long hiatus. But it's an actual fan. Anyways only thing I agree with is that going forward it will definitely be less and less group albums and more and more solo albums/tours. But that is expected of an older group but BTS' brand will still thrive when they build hype leading up to their group comebacks (they had a ton of itin 2022 but wasted it on YTC)

Anyways if I'm alive and well and AKP is still here, I will bump this thread, OP. See you then!

Long time army and saying mots7 is the last actual album as a group they’ve released sure

"Long time ARMY"

Looks at post count: sure you are

The obsession with ARMY and wanting ARMY to feel unhappy by quite some other Kpop stans needs to be studied.

Wait until their tour and we'll talk again. It's going to be massive.

I have heard jealous kpop fans say BTS will fade into oblivion since 2016.

And every time they confound us. The tour is going to be enormous.

BTS are the last group that you should be worried about losing relevancy in Kpop.

Save those fake concern for the actual nugus, they need it more than the biggest group in the world

Hehehe. You know nothing. ARMYs in hibernating mode, they’ll be back soon enough.

Hm...

I don't expect them to do be constantly releasing album anymore but thats usual for group that is already 10 years old. Also it's Be, not MOTS7. Maybe you should stick to talking about groups you actually keep up with.

For someome claiming to be a fan that really comes off as very anti like wishful thinking.

BTS 'irrelevant'? 😅

Watch out for their album release on 2025/26. It will be iconic!!

Why are you so pessimistic op?

I don't think OP is an ARMY. This is the first time they even talk about BTS. They want to have a hit thread I guess.

Agree!

BTS is far too big and global to become 'irrelevant''.

Also, I will attend their concerts and listen to them till I die ( as most Armys will)

You know a thread is going to be a wild ride when it's a BTS diss thread and it starts with something like "long time army". Almost as golden as threads that start with, "I used to be an army but....".

I believe you mean BP floppers who have been struggling to surpass BTS for their entire career.

But then again, nobody cares for them except Blinks.

BTS will continue to SELL OUT stadium tour concerts with tickets being gone in minutes. Not months. No free tickets to Tiktokkers to promote. No reduced price tickets. No reduced capacity concert venues.

Can you tag me when that time comes?

I can't wait!

do we really want official statements from army now

And who should care? Blinks? Nctzens? did they once care about bts but not anymore? There are only armys left, it seems

Quote from ava-beatrix

i'm fourteen years old do you expect me to be online when i was 7? no lmao i joined akp a month ago doesnt mean i havent stanned for longer

So you got into BTS during INY/Dope era 9 years back...when you were 5......

Anyway, Armys should disengage since this is a child.

Quote from ava-beatrix

never said that their tours wouldnt be big i dont doubt that i'm just saying as their fanbase becomes adults they will spend less time on bts and bts numbers will go down which isnt neccesarily bad

I think you are projecting your own feelings on other fans since you do not see yourself being an Army as an adult, but it may shock you that BTS demographic is not children or teens but has always been majorly adult fans, primarily women in 20s and 30s...they were always adults so there will be no major change for them like how it will be for you personally 5 to 10 years down the line.

They "aren't becoming" adults, they are adults. Do you even know how their concert audience look like? Most of Armys here are 25+ and they make their own money. Some of them have kids too. Armys that have been with them from the start are almost 11 years older. Let's say that they were your age back then, they'll be 25. I have no idea where you got the idea that only teenagers listen to bts or kpop in general.

“Just hours after Ticketmaster announced that all 4 shows at Allegiant Stadium were sold out, tickets have appeared on sale through Stubhub, ranging anywhere to well over $19,500 per ticket“

OP I am praying you are right. That the Numbers go down. My fear is that the $19,500 per ticket for PTD will look fucking reasonable when the reunion tour is announced

Quote from ava-beatrix

yes i did and yes i am a child. i liked the music and i have older siblings who were 15 and liked bts...

and armies are children both literally and figuratively so

The last sentence says you have some strange grudge against Armys...given they aren't any different from other Kpop stans, but I mean you do you.

it's ok to move on from BTS if you want

its not ok to make Army feel like shit while you're making your exit

you might have invested alot of time on BTS in the past and now you're ready to move on, that's totally fine

just move on
