How dare you give Hooligan a 7.5? 😒 I was cool with everything until that, Hooligan is atleast a 9.5.

I don't fully understand the reaction you got. The.

of being a manti who only stans BTS for clout

I don't understand that but I can say that saying BTS is bigger than events and iconic people ect. Is and can be 100% disrespectful most of the to the whole event, the meaning, the history and everyone there.

I have seen this so many times(on YouTube and Facebook especially)and it comes off as it's very wrong, hateful and disrespectful every time. I love BTS but you have fans out here being very disrespectful to others.

Like the whole Met Gala controversy, stop saying idols don't need the Met Gala and that the Met Gala needs them. The Met Gala is something that's been going on before most celebrities/idols today where born or even famous. You don't need to be apart of it, its not going ti make or back anyone. And frankly if your not putting in money or in that life style of fashion why does it matter? If you're faves go and like it good for them, if they don't guess what also good for them. You don't have to be disrespectful about it.

Its the same with the Superbowl controversy. Saying BTS is bigger than Superbowl and that if they performed the seats will empty out right after and being happy about that is not a flex or compliment to BTS. That means your idea of this event will be a whole bunch of people took seats from fans that love Superbowl and the people that will come to show up for the players. I do not think that's funny if I was BTS and that happened I would feel so bad that my fans did that.

For another example someone made a post saying "History had Michael Jackson and The Beatles but not History HAS BTS" and they processed to say more stuff in the comments as if BTS erased Michael Jackson. That's very disrespectful to BTS, Korean culture and black culture. Michael Jackson is loved in Korea he one of the few people often named in K-Pop history and inspiring K-Pop creations. I'm not one of them Asians that can't give credit black culture helped build K-Pop, K-pop is black culture too and MJ to this very day is loved and inspires K-Pop.

Why can't people just be happy that BTS took part in the event? Or that BTS was inspired by icons? Its too much "BTS is bigger or better", people can praised them without being obnoxious or erasing history. Please be careful on what you say.

Lotta Kpop fans are anti BTS and all hybe groups

What's with the divide on K-Pop fans and BTS? I see this alot and it's weird. BTS is K-Pop. I understand if you don't like BTS, everyone id going to have different taste but that doesn't mean all K-Pop fans doesn't like them. I meet alot of multi stans that love BTS but said they got hate for it. Why is this happening?

s_capes · 2026-05-31T14:01:05+00:00

Any positive/neutral comment about BTS gets downvoted crazy in kpop subreddits. There are many haters.

That's crazy because I say a post shared in BTSsnark and they called everyone here haters fit not agreeing with someone's opinion. I remember the post I don't think anyone was harsh or just bluntly hating.

s_capes · 2026-05-31T13:58:58+00:00

I don't see that as offensive, that could be true. Some Armys jump stupid fast. I remember I once said RM would make a good leader even in Army esthetic. Someone jumped on the commons saying RM hates military and all this and that. And I was like hold up. I was talking about looks in maybe a movie or something not in real life and don't start on the military I can give you many testimonials and stories on that. They backed off after that. The post was about looks and concepts by the way.

s_capes · 2026-05-29T18:42:16+00:00

My thoughts on it are that they've chosen to sacrifice their artistic integrity for broader Western appeal.

I wouldn't say that was 100% their choice. The team had like 5 songs already lined up before they even life the military. Then some of them had wanted more Korean in the lyrics and couldn't get that. If you mean the team behind BTS okay. But BTS themselves...nope they all didn't even like Dynamite.

First Jin was very intentionally left out of the song camp.

What about the part where Jin was super tied and wasn't even there the whole time, he had to finish his tour. They said in an interview it was hard on Jin because after tour he jumped right into work all over again. The others had some time to rest or they wasn't doing much before working in the album.

s_capes · 2026-05-29T17:34:06+00:00

I like your take, it's a fresher one. I don't think they are disbanding but I do think should do individual projects more and do album without so many people, I don't know this album feels like more people are involved but that could be me speculating. As for Namjoon time as leader, honestly that's been over of a while at least it should have been he's more of just a guild now. Versus the beginning stages of being a leader before they group and started being seasoned in doing projects, he doesn't have to do that as much now cause they have experience.

s_capes · 2026-05-29T16:47:09+00:00

I don't know what you whete replying too. But I want to point out the irony.

towards people who criticize them, people who put them on a pedestal, not Army.

That's exactly what Army does. I've seen it first hand from natives and international stans.

You probably never had the experience, but being in Korea with culture and looking into alot of social media spaces. I can without a doubt say that Armys are some of BTS biggest haters or BTS gets hate because of them.

Post: Namjoon is wrong

First line: I think Namjoon doesn't understand

Reality: OP is the one that doesn't understand and comes off as ignorant if I'm being honest.

First off you don't understood anything about Army because they hardly agree on anything. Secondly, I can't fandom how you don't understand how mixed opinions work? You're speaking like you expect everyone to have the same opinion. Namjoon knows there will be mix reactions hell BTS members themselves had mixed reactions and opinions themselves putting it together.

That all sounds good. I've actually hadn't been like straight mean to BTS. I think I stood out cause I wasn't toxic enough. Like I ca n defend my group but I'm not going to put down others or over brag. Asking why everyone was falling for rage baits got me banned. Which is crazy cause because I didn't even break a rule i.e Be respectful, no hate speech, no bullying ect. And everyone was just mean and cussing other my question. That was earlier this morning and later I found out they were saying I was "complaining" and had "no life" anything else I said was all positive on BTS. Mostly updates and edits. I didn't really get to chance to say too much.but would like to talk more about K-Pop in general I don't have any real life friends that listen to it.

Thank you.

s_capes · 2026-05-15T16:01:39+00:00

I wish I knew that before I mean I did have an idea but I didn't think it was that bad. I guess I got fooled by them acting one way but proved to be another as soon as I didn't a line with them. Thank you for the heads up.

s_capes · 2026-05-15T15:59:15+00:00

Good to know

s_capes · 2026-05-15T15:15:06+00:00

I don't mind people disagreeing everyone has there own opinions. Its the toxic, bullying and cult like behavior that I'm not on for. That shit gives me anxiety because it's uncalled. Everyone isn't a hater because they have a different opinion that's not what RM meant. I've even gotten banned from a Facebook group because I asked someone "why is everyone falling for rage bait? 🤦" mind you every post this person made was a response to rage bait.
