boy oh boy did i not expect that today i would be making a thread like this.
and since the new news is already causing all of the usual akp scum to crawl of the sewers to voice their un-needed (and frankly, un-wanted) opinions, let's address those first.
bts running out of creativity-> wrong. rm announced he was halfway done with his mixtape yesterday and the other members have been working on stuff too. so no.
hybe wants to make money-> lots of people will sit this out bc it's a comp album. also a company wanting to make money can be said about anything. nice try though.
also full offense to the people who made those threads. i don't give a fuck about hybe but i do care about bts, and y'all are being assholes about this. the fake concern i'm seeing is not it. this is me defending the boys. so if you have shit to talk, you better go be bitter in your own damn threads. show up in here on some bullshit and i will put you in the fucking ground.
now 
, onto why i think hybe did this.
touring.
for the purpose of a world tour.
this is literally so simple, and i genuinely believe that people lack the oversight and general problem-solving skills to put two and two together and would rather bash hybe and the boys than come to a logical conclusion.
if they have lots of new songs, that will give them less time to perform old songs and "go out with a bang". they probably want to make this really extravagant and likely a combination of all the eras. we could have Jungkook flying around singing Euphoria one minute, and then Jimin on stage performing Filter the next. if they released more new songs, there's an expectation to perform most, if not all of them.
and to clarify, just because i feel like hybe had a reason for doing this, doesn't mean i think this was the right decision. i'm still having mixed feelings about this but i can understand why ~real Armys~ are upset (and i say that bc there are obvious trolls running around acting concerned). and this is not me "making an excuse" for hybe either, so shut the fuck up with that wack shit too.
also it should be noted that on past compilation albums, they've done full length editions and remixes of songs. so i think there's a MAJOR possibility we'll get full length versions of intros, demo versions of songs (fake love), or possibly other member versions of songs (this is wishful thinking, but namjoon- serendipity). it is not just going to be everything we've heard before + 3 new songs.
i'm aware this could blow up quick. and to be honest, i have finals, a nintendo switch to buy, and this and lsfm's and ive's album to preorder/buy today! so what i'm not going to do is explain myself to some nugu with three akorns or an established troll with mommy and daddy issues. if you get it, you get it, if you don't, you don't. i used to be nicer with these things, but y'all have pushed me to the limit.
enjoy!
