I know I’m going to piss A LOT of people off but there’s something I really want to get off my chest and it’s related to BTS and K-pop. For those in the BTS Army, you may want to steer clear of reading this because it will not be a pleasant experience for you. Just a warning for you.
I don’t know about BTS nor do I listen to their music (because I’m much more comfortable with Block B and I’m going to stay there forever and for good reason) but I’m really annoyed with the “BTS Army” and how BTS got this popular from just there “army” being EVERYWHERE. In almost every comment section on YouTube, I see a comment a person in the BTS fandom made that just has the picture of a BTS member in their icon but, BUT, they talked about the video, they stayed on topic...UNTIL someone saw their icon and commented like “OOOOMGGGG BTS ARMY!” and all of a sudden the fans come rushing into the comment and all of a sudden the thread turns into an avalanche of just “BTS ARMY” “MUCH LOVE FROM THE BTS ARMY” “ARMY! <33333333333″, etc,etc. To make matters worse, any other K-pop artists are always in the back burner because the BTS army comes rushing in just for the chance of increasing the number of fans. For once, I just want to hear a different K-pop group getting this much hype other than BTS.
Sidenote: Why is the BTS Army called the BTS Army???? I mean, I know Block B calls their fans BBC for Block B Club, but still????????? Idk it’s kinda weird to call your fanbase an army.
In conclusion, I refuse to listen to BTS under any circumstances due to the fact that the fandom are like a herd. One mention of BTS and they come rushing in, voicing their love for this one group and no one else and that is why BTS is as popular as they are. They’re basically the Undertale of k-pop. Remember Undertale and the fandom?
Call me bias/hipster/close-minded all you want but nothing is going to change my mind.
My opinion my hurt your feelings if you’re part of the “Army” but oh well, you did click on Keep Reading after reading that little warning up there, sooooo yeah.
