As SKZ is going to walk all over BTS, it is now certain that BTS' enlistment was a foolish decision.

Quote from kahei

BTS went to the military which is why this "drought" happened/is happening. What do you predict will happen once SKZ starts going?

1. The premise of this piece is to argue that it was foolish for BTS to enlist.

2. SKZ' chief members are Christopher Bang and Felix lee, Australians. They won't enlist. And unlike Hybe, JYP operates groups even when a member or two are having hiatuses, like Twice operating without Jeongyeon and Itzy operating without Lia.

Will SKZ have survived the Battle of Plassey though?

That was between two Western powers and since SKZ is mostly an Australian act yes,

Quote from kahei

Yeah well I doubt you know any better than them or those in charge of them.

Certainly more than the execs of Hybe who did not know how to handle MHJ.

In what world

BTS is now considered t obelong to the past and SKZ is doing much better

Quote from JustARandomStan

enlistment in korea is mandatory, it's not a decision

It could have been dragged as much as possible, by temporarily suspending Seokjin and Yoongi and only performing with 5 members which would still have prevented Taylor Swift from becoming the Person of the Year in 2023.

The OT7 argument and the longer career argument doomed it.

Quote from KarimaJ

Not even the diehard SKZ fans would dream of writing this sentence. 😭

Except SKZ will set a record for the highest grossing concert in KPop history this year

Quote from Kitty_Saurus

OP have always been xenophobic. Imagine telling South Koreans or POCs to abandon their country.

Does The Weeknd think Ethiopia is his country?

There are few Armies remaining in Korea now. The fans have moved on to other, younger acts. Abandoning Korea altogether would have been a great business decision, but Bang wanted to play a mogul with Korea's bigwigs.

Quote from yerisvelvet

Are you a history major? What's your specialization?

I am not a history major. I just read a lot about history and try to find historical parallels to Kpop events, that's all.

Quote from nevermindmejin

Please

BTS would go to a SKZ concert if they have the time.. They are very appreciative of music from any groups. Have u seen them jamming to BP’s songs at the peak of their so called rivalry? Or promote other singer’s song while battling the charts with the said singer and song? It’s doubtful that Katseye going to a SKZ group is alarming to them..

I know u are excited for BTS to comeback Whyknock!! 90% of your threads are about BTS and their enemy- IU, BP, MHJ and now SKZ! Congrats Stays lol

BTS never considered BP or IU as their mortal enemies since they are both female acts and do not compete directly

However I don't recall them in Seventeen concerts

SKZ is like Seventeen, but more serious. Seventeen is under Hybe so it can be restrained to some degree. But SKZ is under JYP who has an inferiority complex over his former lackey.
