I just want to be clear upfront that I, too, am a BTS fan and I’m not translating this to throw shade on BTS fans, nor towards foreign fans. the reason behind my translation is that I want foreign fans to understand that sometimes, the way we behave toward BTS on Twitter and their other SNS (including the official fancafe) reflects poorly on us and creates a bad reputation among Korean fans. all I want to do is encourage fans to exercise discretion and good sense in their responses.
so, with that said, here’s the PANN post I was asked to translate.
PANN: Ah really, foreigner ARMY…
Originally, I tried to view them nicely since they’re also ARMY, but as it is, I really hate seeing on YouTube the way they connect [BTS] with girl groups they’ve never had a connection with, and just among themselves say things like “ohh they’re so cute :’(” I also really don’t like seeing the way that they make sex jokes about the kids, to the extent that it makes me think it’s sexual harassment… I also really hate how they leave meaningless comments in response to their SNS updates, just because they want to be the first comment… Ahh…. could this be a cultural difference? Ha… in conclusion, let’s become pure BTS stansㅠㅠㅠ
[+12, -1] Me too;; It seems like there are a lot of people who don’t bother to understand the situation and just think whatever they want about it.
[+6, -0] Rather than being annoyed by the delusional fans, the sexual comments they make toward Jungkook are really severe… and those kinds of comments get more than 100 likes and the comments are all like ‘euhahah’
[+5, -0] Right?? Holy shit, I really agree with the one about SNS, every day it’s just “hey” “hi” fuck
[+3, -0] I heard that some of them photoshopped a condom into that picture that Yoongi posted with the Tank Boy… when I heard that, I thought, wow, it’s really that serious…
[+1, -0] Agree, totally agree, why are all the words I want to say right here… ha
[+0, -0] Even so, I think it’s kinda cute how some of them even go to the dictionary so they can express their feelings [to BTS]… like ‘I oppa love’… But I seriously hate those types of fans
