[discussion] do you think bts are declining/loosing fans

Somebody already made this exact thread maybe last week? Try looking up for the answers there. I’m sure a week won’t change that much.

In what alternative universe…

Lol what

this is like the 3rd post you make saying the same thing. get a new hobby

I don't think they are declining, they've grown quite a lot from their last cbs.

This might be more controversial but yes I think they've lost some fans(more than they would generally because gaining and loosing fans is normal for such big acts) because of recent changes in music direction and partly the fandom too. I don't think it has anything to do with the "hiatus" though.

Some fans will naturally move on. It will happen eventually but am not seeing it happening anytime soon

based on what? Your friends' whims?

Well, they are losing fans like any other music act in the world. But for the amount of fans they lose, they win 5x more, so no one notices or cares for who leaves. That's why they are not declining lol

Losing/gaining fans- Normal

Declining - Where please? So we can 'discuss' the thoughts of ex-armys and your army friends

They sold out stadiums in pre-sale, yes, they are really losing fans and declining

They’re losing some fans but who cares if they’re gaining way more than that they lose

even if bts loose 1/4 of their fansbase, still be huge, don`t worry

I think that is ex-armys wishful thinking so that finally their faves can get more fans.

if this was true, this means more chance of more concert tix for me!

huzzah!

That's probably just your friends moving on from stanning them. It doesn't say anything about bts declining or not. They lose fans every day but gain more or just as much in the same time frame. It's normal.

Their music changed but I don't think they're declining. BTS merely lost old fans who then voiced their displeasure (which is normal and to be expected), and gained new fans - likely more than they lost.

they're losing their hardcore longterm fandom while they pursue short term, GP based listeners. i hope it won't bite them in the ass and these new fans aren't just success stans or worse, shippers. but it's not looking too good. when i heard that a lot of people at the latest concerts didn't know any of their old music, i thought that was really sad

Nope.

are you on the process of becoming an ex-army? this is like the 3rd thread acc to others here, sounds like a cry for help.

According to Kpop fans and ex stans :

- BTS were going to disbanded in 2013 or 2014 at best

- When they became mid-tiers around 2014-2015, they were never going to become top tiers

- they were not bound to get a daesang

- they would never release a hit song (a popular narrative around 2017-2018 when a whole Spring Day has been already there).

- they would not find success in the West

- They peaked after BWL and 2020 was their last year at the top

- their faves were destined to get a Grammy nomination and a win before BTS.

We are still waiting for all of this. There is a clear difference between Kpoppies wishful thoughts and the reality.

When people say this it feels like they’re trying to convince the rest of us. Maybe y’all should try convincing people who don’t have BTS’ records up and down their tl and then expand from there/j

No, but I for sure am losing money everyday kkkk

A perfect line up lol E9EF81C3-D647-4FCC-839F-C75975395AA3.jpeg

Well my friend who knows two other people said they heard from their nephew’s cousin’s babysitter’s dog walker that BTS are finished.

On the other hand my rabbit has stolen my credit card to order the BTS Zoowoosooo dvd.

What I came here to say, it's likely some coping mechanism that they don't like BTS anymore so they must not stay popular for whatever reason.

They are massively growing.

Keep dreaming, stupid anti

Meanwhile: getting BTS tickets becomes more like the hunger games every day that passes by.

There are actually better odds at the Hunger Games, I think

If this is losing fans ion wanna think how it looks for other groups

To be serious, I have seen some armys online stop stanning them after they released 3 english songs. But I have seen more online and offline armys stan/become a fan of them after those 3 english songs(including myself, dyna army here!).

For example, one of my friends, she is an army and she lowkey became an army because of dynamite(we were in class and my teacher mentioned dynamite and she was like "dynamite is overrated", few months later she is an army lol. She still hates Dynamite, but can't deny it's the song that made her an army lol).

My brother(he is 7, probably not smart enough to join a fandom rn), I can't really consider him an army yet but he has an addiction to Butter lol.

So yes, he is going on the path, I shall expose him to more BTS during the summer and make him an army by the time he is smart enough to declare he is a fan .

There's also my brother's best friend who is also 7. Not sure if she is old/smart enough to stan them and join the fandom but she is def a fan of them. I think she started liking BTS because of Dynamite. Currently her fav songs are boy with luv

and Butter.

And finally, my brother's best friend's brother(who is in 5th grade, I think he is 11). I don't know if he identifies as an army but he is a big fan of them and listens to their music a lot after Dynamite. I think he likes their hardcore songs like Idol the most.

I don't know any armys that unstanned BTS in real life so can't help with that lol.

So yeah, in the end, yes they are gaining more fans than losing.
