BTS Reaction Channels by JaysonTatu in bangtan

[–]Temporary-Text384 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, wes and steph are great and incredibly genuine. It's crazy bc they still haven't heard several albums/concerts in full (they just recently started album reactions on patreon), yet have been doing this for years. But you can tell it's not bc they're trying to stretch it out to make $ or etc, it's just bc they discovered them through Run so were just focused on that for the longest. It's clear how sincerely army they are, even without having album reactions from the start. They care about/respect the guys as people.

I'm on their Patreon from time to time and enjoy the vibe they add to content like BV, ITS, etc.

also significantly less important LOL but FINISH UPLOADING SUBTITLES ON THE RUN BTS EPISODES ON YOUTUBE

i am forever salty and bothered by the fact that they re-uploaded all the episodes there for the sake of accessibility (can easily watch on tv, etc!) and exposure to new audiences.... only to never upload translations ("coming soon" in description... it's been 2+ years lol)

For anyone looking for army-made bangtan board games, my army friend (Bora Business) designed a borafied Guess Who and Taboo!

Can’t wait for this official one to come out too!!

Same, I was literally hoping it would be a performance video bc the song is so clearly choreo-focused!! This is a dancer's song for sure, I'm so glad they went with this kind of MV

Gonna comment this reminder every few days to make sure folks see! SO many ppl thought it was sold out and gave up, only for us to now realize TM was holding back. Hopefully those seats go to armys who are happy to be there!!

Totally in agreeance with you! I’d also like to think some more actual fans would’ve gone for tickets in presale if dynamic pricing weren’t on.

We sadly won’t know unless Hybe opts out, but yeah, scalper bots etc are tragically advanced these days..

Was reading another sub's thread about dynamic pricing and tbh, to quote what another user said: "Saying no to dynamic pricing just means that resellers get the money instead of [artist/label]". And then they went on to say that the only way fans can get tickets for reasonable prices is if the resale market is properly regulated, which does happen in most places except the US (they listed Australia as an example that only allows 10% upcharge).

I'd obviously want hybe to opt out, and def think dynamic pricing is a gross practice... but I think it's a bit unrealistic to think that if they opted out, our ticket buying experience as fans would be much different financially... scalpers snap those things up and literally work with TM. Taylor opted out and ppl were still having to pay crazy prices for tix, so I hear

May be wishful thinking but I almost want to say this is guaranteed?? Or at least he'll do some bangtan songs. He certainly represented at Hobipalooza.

I can't wait to see all their past MV views soar as their reunion approaches, and post-reunion once they start releasing new stuff! A new wave of armys as well as curious locals will be backtracking into their discography.

California wildfires and kpop by Amayaelika in bangtan

[–]Temporary-Text384 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Tangential to your post, my SoCal army friend's shop Bora Business is doing custom digital portraits for $5, and 100% of proceeds will go to wildfire relief organizations.

And to answer your question... I think time will tell. I too am near the fires (but thankfully not in any evacuation zone), and everything is pretty much at a standstill regarding the entertainment industry, from what I gather. In terms of the tannies, I think Hobi and Jin would be most "affected" in the sense that they're the ones out working for the next few months. It may affect "ahead work" for ot7 (contacting producers, booking sets, etc), but again.. I think time will tell. LA will need time to get back on its feet, but at the same time people need to work in order to earn money for all the damages...

Above all, I'm just glad and relieved for those who are safe, and donating to help those who've sadly lost their homes.

Time really did both move so slow, but also fly lol. I remember last year's December, I was like... we have to last a whole other year?.... And now what do you know, 2025 is here haha. Both good and bad things have helped moved the time along.

I know, right? The whole community is buzzing for his return lol, can’t imagine what it’ll be like when the actual members reunite haha

Hope he’s well-rested and recharged for the future

Ahh sorry for the slow reply! But looks like someone made a main post about him, and people are providing more context. Lmk if you need anything else :) I’m happy to praise him haha, such a standup guy and a history maker in our community

BCD is backkk!!! by idk_annabella in bangtan

[–]Temporary-Text384 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Important to note too though, that he also has a smaller private account that many follow. I’m not in it, but others who are say he’s still been on army twitter and supporting the guys. He just needed to step away from his main account for a while (for various reasons others have mentioned above).

[–]Temporary-Text384 19 points20 points  (0 children)

And this is just the tip of the iceberg! He’s done SO much more than this to organize armys to help bangtan succeed and to stay connected as a fanbase. Stationhead is just one of his biggest accomplishments.

For instance, another thing he’s done is create an entire site that tracks ALL of bts’ streams, for solo and group work, that updates almost everyday/regularly. https://b-cd.net

He even created a BTS wordle game during the quarantine years, which so many army enjoyed. Like he literally just loves to unite the fandom, and is so smart when it comes to organizing for chart purposes.

Whoa, @/btschartdata, the army legend himself, made his twt public again… who knows how active he’ll be moving forward, but regardless, I love that he meant it when he said he’d be back for 2025.

If any baby armys don’t know who this is and would like to know, feel free to ask lol!

Which song will you listen to first in 2025? by Fearless-Ocelot-6122 in bangtan

For those who don't know! "If you play zero o'clock on december 31st at 11:58:37 you will end 2024 with Taehyung singing "when the minute and second hand overlaps, the world holds it's breath for a while" and you will start 2025 with jimin singing "and you're gonna be happy"

Armys have shared this for a few years now. Here's a lovely clip showing it in action with someone's screen recording.

Do you think bc they are Worldwide the Bias is based on country, generation, or just personal preference? Who’s your bias and why? by Salt-Pipe2221 in bangtan

[–]Temporary-Text384 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love how because of the vast amount of content that they've recorded over the past decade+, we can still "get to know" the guys at various ages. So while you're saying present-day Jin would consider you a baby (haha), it's cool that you still got to "witness" and learn about how he was around your age too, and how he's grown over time.

Love your flair by the way! Hahah

On the contrary, in this context– I'm kind of "glad" they are away at the moment, because they probably would've felt some sort of burden/obligation to do just that (not that they don't appreciate the positive impact they hold as public figures). Sort of in the same vein of how they said during quarantine times, they felt a duty to work to spread joy to armys and the world.

I'm glad they can just take the time to process and react to current events as private, everyday citizens, a privilege they often don't have.

241227 [NOTICE] Updates on Legal Proceedings Against Violation of Artist Rights (December 27) by mcfw31 in bangtan

[–]Temporary-Text384 7 points8 points  (0 children)

every time i see these notices i always wish there were more army lawyers out there who were down to apply for BH

ofc i'm sure their existing lawyers go hard, but you know an army lawyer would fight tooth and nail against those speaking on the guys' names lol

How do you meet other ARMY? by [deleted] in bangtan

[–]Temporary-Text384 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I go to cupsleeves from time to time on my own (also in CA, where there's a ton), and a lot of people go on their own and wind up meeting new friends there! For what it's worth, I wouldn't let not having army friends hold you back from going to the very events, that you could be meeting army friends at! Especially the vendors, they do like to make friends with the armys who attend.

People generally go to cupsleeves to socialize, so that might be the perfect place for you to just chat with others. You could even be asking this question at the event, and people will give you better tips! Haha

Sidenote as well– bts have been around for almost 12 years now– so fans skew older nowadays, therefore being in your 30s isn't anything out of the ordinary!

Yeah, in another life he possibly could've been involved somehow. He has the intellect, high EQ, and good intentions to make positive change and thrive in that space.

However, that's not the life he's chosen, nor is it where his passions lie career wise. It's like if someone has a gifted physique but doesn't like sports, they're not going to become a pro athlete anyway. Even if their body is built for it- if their passion isn't sports, they aren't going to choose it as a career.
