ARMYs are actively trying to bring more fans into the folds, so if anything, we're very welcoming of new people. After all, we earned the "most annoying fandom" name because of the very pushy way in which OG ARMYs promoted BTS

As long as you're respectful of the group and the individual members, all is good. The fandom is HUGE right now, so it's inevitable you'll run into some rude ppl. Just block and move on. There's special accounts dedicated to new ARMYs, who push you into the right direction, correct misinformation etc. So look for those, when in doubt.

And welcome aboard!

Anything BTS releases will be commercially successful, their mixtapes production, lyrics, tracklist, and music videos are already that on the level of an official release.. the only thing that’s missing is an actual promo cycle and physical copies and release on korean streaming platforms.

BTS doesn’t need a plethora of writers and producers when it’s clear they can do that themselves..

They’ll make MILLIONS from album sales ALONE.

And again who cares about being public friendly, BTS releases non “public friendly” or songs against the trends all the time that’s successful all the time.. and they’re successful just based on their popularity alone.. fans will buy and stream whatever they release, and the GP will check it out! I think the word you’re looking for is safe.

The annoyance doesn’t really come from them not actually having albums but the overall way their solo work is regarded by BH in general and how they handle individual features to appearances etc. people are moreso question why in 2021! BH still hasn’t posted about Vs win at the APAN awards! It’s things like this that make people scratch their heads.

yes, any release will enjoy a measure of success because of the sheer size of the fandom behind it. And while BTS has always pushed the envelope with their music, they've also stayed relevant, going for current music trends etc. WE know we'll support most of what BTS puts out, but that still doesn't negate their own feelings about it, and I feel that this kind of thinking focuses too much on our own perspective and not enough on theirs. Joon has said he doesn't check the internet on the day of the release, for fear of seeing bad press and negative/disappointed reactions from fans. Regardless of us knowing we'll stand behind them, they still get anxious and afraid. And if these kind of low-key releases helps ease that stress for them when it comes to their own material, why not?

I think it's also a financial decision - at least for the moment. The time will come when BTS will no longer promote as a group and they'll go their own way, career-wise. And while ARMYs are more willing than other fandoms to part with their money, not even we can, right now, successfully financially support 8 different releases (members + the group) each year. It's obvious the moment official solo releases start being put out, most of us will be forced to choose between buying X-member's album or Y etc. And it's clear they want to keep the focus on BTS for now.

I don't think we should resent them for it. BTS the group has reached heights no one dared to dream for them. And they still have so much potential. the name of BTS still has history to write, and I believe they want to see how far they can take it. The time will come for solo careers in the true sense of the word (maybe sooner than some of us might like , due to enlistments). But for now I believe they want to see how far the name of BTS can make it.

I for one have faith in their choices. Maybe if the re-negotiation of the contracts hadn't happened, i would've been more inclined to blame it all on BigHit. But I do believe this is one aspect where BigHit and BTS seem to be in agreement.

i need to amp up my post game, clearly

nice work though, Vesti!

nah, BTS claps back with their music, always. No need to give haters the satisfaction in public addresses.

BTS can stay the humble, down to earth guys that they are. We ARMYs can do the bragging for them

wowow, love to see BTS getting the recognition they deserved. Quality jumped out !

don't get the question at all.

i don't get how people don't see the difference between why an official solo release and a mixtape might be differently approached. An official release is a huge money investment, from the producers to the MVs and everything that goes into it. An official release has commercial success as a goal, so it's oriented and geared towards that. It means the music might get tweaked and carefully curated to be public and radio-friendly, to be in trend etc. BTS does that with their official releases, where they always think if fans will like it, if the public will receive it well etc. It also means the music coming out of the members on an official release might not be the same as what they've freely released so far, seeing as it might not be deemed commercially viable.

The artist in particular might also feel the burden of a good outcome, thus making them more self-conscious of the material they put out. A mixtape released for free does not come with the same expectations. Meaning they're free to release whatever type of music they choose or want to approach, without thinking if this will be well received on charts, radio etc.

Tae for example has a very particular style he goes for in his solo releases. It's very chill, jazzy, minimalist, no big chorus, no big drops etc. It's very in line with what he likes to listen to and it fits his voice very well, but it's also a genre that's not necessarily very popular and wouldn't be very radio friendly ( take Winter Bear or for example). I wouldn't want him constrained by the idea of "let's make it public - friendly", rather i want him to go at it full strength with what he likes and wants to put out creatively.

they're one of my fave pairings, lol. There's just something so endearing to Tae's relentless attempts to get some affection from Yoongi and Yoongi's fake resistance to it, lmao. Yoongi's such a pushover and now it takes only a ittle pouting on Tae's side for Yoongi to cave in, lol. CUTE!

they be like:

" BTS would like to..."

Disney: YES

ARMYs, always remember to put yourself and your wellbeing first.

Maybe there’s no answer

Maybe this isn’t the answer either

It’s just that loving myself

Doesn’t require anyone else’s permission

I’m looking for myself again

But I don’t wanna die anymore

Me, who used to be sad

Me, who used to be hurt

It’ll make me more beautiful

He has an incredible physique

tons :D

BTS: House of Cards, Stigma, Awake, Epiphany, Singularity, Heartbeat, Winter Flower, Eight, Blue & Grey, YOur Eyes Tell, Still with You, Spring Day - and it's not even the complete list

Other artists: BAP - Rain Sound, Lee Hi -Breathe, VIXX - Error

i want a brand new song, i'll never say no to new music from BTS

people can always make their own threads about their own faves, so i don't see the issue?

yay!!!

what the hell even is this thread?

Quote from HopeOnTheStreet

Akgaes are offended with your post. The disrespect. Or you're considering them in the same category as solo stans?

i don't really differentiate between solo stans and akgaes to be honest. It's hard for me to understand how one can stan just a single member of a group. Exceptions are i guess those who actually have a career outside the group, but often times it's just visual stuff/hate towards other members. I've rarely seen a solo stan who still manages to stay respectful towards the rest of the members of that group: their fave is always the most talented, the most beautiful, the hardest worker and deserves all the lines/screen time/spotlight and is constantly mistreated by company/fans/GP. LMAO. Can't stand them.

solo stans and M-antis.

global group, nation's pride and treasure, wbk
