/ beardsboozebandsandbs Thank you for stopping by. In the #Docutainment series, we will explore documentaries, fan-made films, and short films. This week we are looking at #BTSHardships by #XCeleste
RM is the type to really listen to criticism. He doesn't listen to nonsense noise but if he thinks the criticism can make him better, he'll work on it. The boys don't have a big ego because they simply are trying to become better.
"No one talks to my Jungkook like that." Exactly. When that other show took place with the same host, ARMY was still fuming...and it was years later. He was just a little baby offering hamburgers and sprite. How could anyone look at that face and be that mean?!!!
Money talks. In the beginning Big Hit didn’t have any clout/money so BTS was not given any notice by the mainstream media. They had to circumvent them in order to get their music out. They used platforms like SoundCloud and RU-vid. BTS became more popular outside of Korea because of this. As they grew in popularity, they did not need the mainstream media. That caused the Korean media to avoid publishing any of their achievements. As Big Hit grew financially, they created their own platforms to promote their artists. So, the Korean media are still angry and won’t give them much notice.
Its not really the group who tries to sabotage other groups but its more of their own toxic fans who try to sabotage other groups to push their own fav group further
The Japan controversy is deeper than u think and was one of the scariest times of being an ARMY. If yall want to know more about it, you should try reading up on the White Paper Project.
Noone talks to my Jungkook like that….yes exactly! That makes me so angry & sad for him every time I see it. First of all he was a teenager at the time….a baby & those were grown men talking to him like that. Second he literally has the kindest & purest heart how could anyone be rude to him. BTS continuously amazes me with how much kindness, positivity & grace they show to everyone even those that don’t deserve their kindness.
During this time period, there were three large music companies (dubbed the big 3) that were responsible for the majority of successful K-pop groups. The fact that BTS wasn’t from one of these larger companies and was still finding success threatened these larger companies. That’s one of the reasons why they saw so much hatred. People genuinely could not believe that BTS was finding success coming from such a small company. And the more successful they became, the more angry anti fans became. And today, big hit brings in ten times the revenue of those “big three” companies combined. It’s why we say that karma is an army.
oh you're completely right about the "misogynistic" song actually... it's called war of hormone and the lyrics are a bit cringy but theres nothing misogynistic about them, they are quite literally praising women throughout the song
The misogyny claim was related to mistranslated lyrics "Girls are like a maths equation we must solve" became "Girls are like a maths equation - we just do 'em" .. the song 'war of hormone' was a fun take on the way hormones make young boys go crazy. As a woman I can tell you it was in no way offensive ... it's a cute and funny song... and totally accurate!
The crazy thing about it is that by looking at them, you'd never know everything they've been through. They aren't constantly bitter towards the world but instead choose to put out positive energy. They've remained humble and genuine people and I am so proud of them 💜.
As a chinese person who was born in america, the german radio host situation really hurt me. It was at the height of asian hate here, even in san francisco and BTS being sworn out on a MAINSTREAM public funded I believe radio station by a person who has a reach that can influence the public.. it really enraged me. Imagine all those asian kids in school in germany who were already going through enough during covid and being blamed for a virus they didnt cause... and this radio host spewing this hate calling it a joke we couldnt take. I took the petition and sent it out to my company.. one of the largest in our field in california (tech) and got people to sign. the host wazs eventually taken off the main show.. but I honestly dont think he realizes his actual wrong doing and harm. I stan BTS not because they are asian and represent me , but because they represent being against prejudice as a whole and happen to face the same shit I face for being Asian or other.
I like it how you didn’t dramatize your thumbnail just to catch viewers attention and watch you guys. I have watched all your BTS reaction videos and I love and respect your views so raw and honest.
This quick overview scratches the surface, if u can imagine the extent that BTS & ARMY went through with each and every hardship event. For example, the German DJ incident happened over the course of months whereby he accused a protective ARMY of being overzealous teenage girls. The blood boils. Particularly when these people persistently attack 7 of the nicest guys in the industry. And yes, these things are happening to them to this day.
Yes, it’s that competitive. The K-Pop world depends a great deal on TV appearances and fan-voted awards on those shows to build the popularity of their groups. There are the “Big 3” companies that have lots of influence on getting their groups on shows. The companies (covertly) and organized fans really do try to suppress their competition by disreputable means.
