It’s true that they never peaked because of COVID and their military enlistment. While 4th generation k-pop idols are rushing to beat BTS’s records, it no longer matters to BTS and ARMY because BTS already achieved those records and transcended k-pop. Chapter 2 will bring a new kind of creativity and new types of music. They will reinvent themselves and ARMY is ready for it!

[@ystrw]

Ah, you remind me of someone last year who was trying to throw their shade subtly, asking ARMYs, 'But how will you feel when a new group comes along and breaks all their records?' So I pointed out that while there may one day be more streams, more views, and more sales, the vast number of 'Firsts' can't be broken or duplicated. The best a new group can hope for in that sense is, 'the first since BTS', or 'joins BTS in-' whatever it is. And that, of course, is why they 'paved the way'. Their response? Crickets. 😏

[@Mori-Chan613]

Kpop fans actually wish their faves love them like BTS loves ARMY. One of the reasons why I can't stan other group is because I don't feel the same level of strong bond between groups and their fandom.

@@hollyjette276 Respectfully that is your perspective. The concerts we waited all night outside in the dark to buy tickets for. The hysteria when people would see them after waiting all night at airports to see them. The girls that dressed up like hotel staff to get into their rooms. The lunch boxes, bubble gum and trading cards we collected. The school binders, collectible dolls and games we bought. The movies and the Saturday Morning cartoons we watch faithfully. Young men who dressed like them, grew their hair out and started musical bands because of them. Some of the most influential musical bands cite them as the reason they got into music. The songs that they wrote in the 50’s 60’s and 70’s that are still being sung and recorded today. Imagine, Yesterday and Here Comes The Sun are three of the most re recorded songs by other artist of all time. They had 21 songs hit the top of the Billboard Charts in their 10 years active. BTS hasn’t quite done that yet. The way we mourned we John Lennon was assassinated and when George Harrison died from Cancer. The fact that today Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr are considered treasures. Just because you may not have been alive and experienced it does not mean it was not comparable. Do any of the things people did for The Beatles sound familiar to you? I am very pleased to be able to see a musical and cultural phenomenon again in my life. BTS is amazing and I’m sure someday when you are older you will look back and cherish all the things and memories you have about them just as people of my age and older cherish The Beatles. I give all the props to BTS. They are amazing and their music will transend generations. JungKook may very well be an artist on par with Prince who could do anything.

The keyword is evolve. When Namjoon released his latest album RPWP, he gave a subtle hint of the changing panorama of BTS and each individual member's next move. His latest album generated quite a buzz in the music world. Is that Kpop idol? His music is quite different and astonishing for some. Then he was seen playing the sax in Jin's military release. Again the buzz from Armys. And Jin's normal appearance to assure us that all is back to normal. Maybe or maybe not. BTS is evolving. They are moving forward. You cannot catch them. They are always in the move and always shocks the world when they reveal what is cooking. It is like a game that no one can beat them. And that's what makes BTS exciting, forever young and puts you on the edge of your seat. You need to buckle up though, in case you fall off the chair like Jimin. BTS is on to a new era that would make history again in the.music world. Never have I seen such a group at my age of 77. Never. They are indeed a phenomenon ! Out of the ordinary. BTS is an ongoing show without a script! They are the script.

I liked your take on how do we measure success for BTS in the future. I do get worn down by comments demanding to know why people aren't streaming 24/7 and/or for certain members. Music should be enjoyed, not just streamed because we have to show so-and-so's fandom that we're still on top. I lloved that RPWP grew on me and made me think. I love that The Astronaut reduced me to tears so I had to ration my listening so my husband didn't wonder what was wrong with me! You are right, they are artists, and they should produce the music they want, not what they think will garner millions of hits but not satisfy them creatively.

[@catherinewandera8790]

Exactly, music should be enjoyed, felt, listened to, absorbed, experienced. And I refuse to believe that people who stream from morning till night on 7 different devices just to get the 'highest numbers' are really enjoying the music. It's all about the charts for them. I don't know if I can enjoy my music that way. To each his own tho.

I love your take on this. For me I started getting this creeping dread regarding more and more paywalls. They have always made themselves freely accessible by Army. That is part of what built this empire. But as soon as I saw the public reunion, the Live and the OT7 photo I breathed a sigh of relief. Jin coming home is huge for the boys but to Army it was basically a holiday with all of Army rejoicing. All of us, around the world, glued to our screens watching and waiting together is powerful. I was afraid that Army would be sidelined. But no, BTS did what they always do, they let Army in like an 8th member. They gave us what we needed to be confident that our position has not changed, not relegated behind a paywall ❤ The second I saw Suga, I had this huge sigh of relief. After knowing he was having a hard time in the service, I've been watching and waiting. Worrying. Because I know this to be true. The rest of the boys could adapt to a very regimented lifestyle, being told what to do 24/7. Suga? No way. Could you see anyone getting in his face telling him what to do? Hell no, lol. This would have, no doubt, been a massive shift for him. I was worried because we hadn't heard more news or that we couldn't see his face. So yay! I am new Army. I started following BTS right after Jin left. So this has been a whole Saga for me to experience. I have never seen the whole group. I'm so excited for June next year. If I could afford it, I would do the same, fly to Korea just to be there for the reuinion. Because, no doubt, it will be a country wide festival atmosphere with all the boy's hometowns celebrating. ❤❤

You'd think they would have learned a few things about BTS and ARMY, wouldn't you? I mean, ten years-! That's a very slow learning curve! It made me laugh, though. Not just because they don't get how BTS and ARMY work: the fact that they didn't seem to realize they were admitting that K-pop in general can't shine unless BTS is taken off the stage.

Huge respect to the ARMYs who decided not to go to the discharge ceremony and respected their privacy. Korean media are praising ARMYs for this. As Seokjin said, "ARMYs are the best." I was waiting for an emotional, heart-rending reunion of the members, and RM came out of nowhere with a saxophone.😂 Lol, it was so funny. And let me tell you, that OT7 picture cured the entire ARMY. After six tannies-less months and around two to three months of a targeted online smear campaign, that picture made me so happy. I am sure the members were 777% happier about the reunion than ARMYs. I think this is the longest time they have been away from each other. The crowd around the HYBE building, trying to catch a glimpse of the members, is an indirect answer to all those who were saying BTS have lost their popularity. I am waiting for their future endeavors and especially their 2025 reunion.🤗 And also about today's festa event. It was so disgusting to see one 'ARMY' trying to kiss Seokjin. He looked so uncomfortable. Korean media will focus on that one moment and blame the entire event.😶

Where would any dancer be without Michael, Fred Astaire , Mikhail Baryshnikov and others to pave the way or any group be without The Beatles or Elvis and Prince. I am so enjoying watching this generations idols. They are making wonderful memories for their fans just as the afore mentioned did for us♥️

There was a recent article that came out just before Jin's discharge date, when the world and SK news were saturated with Jin's return, basically saying that "there is no substitute for Jin / BTS.... that the Bulletproof era continues". The kpop industry had 18 months to prove that it had what it takes to be the "next BTS" since they're so obsessed with trying to copy BTS' success without truly understanding how BTS and Army achieved their success over the past 11 years. Again, no idol group could do it. Even during these past 18 months, BTS solo albums dominated global charts, Billboard, UK charts, iTunes and awards. It must be so very difficult for kpop idol group netizens and naysayers to accept how BTS is a once in a lifetime group. None of their predictions have ever happened because they really do not understand how unique BTS and Army are and have not done some research to try to analyze how different BTS are from other idol groups regardless of the generations. All the naysayers are wasting their energies trying to bring BTS and Army down instead of focusing on their own artists / music groups and supporting their music as well as critically giving feedback about quality music. There is no next BTS. There will never be a next BTS. Jin's military discharge coverage and performance at the BTS Festa is proof. That's only one member commanding that much global power. Foreign media in the US, UK, Australia and other countries covered his discharge. No other South Korean artist's, kpop idol's or actor's military discharge had ever been that newsworthy. The SK kpop idol music industry needs to nurture their artists, encourage artistic freedom & creativity, allow their artists to evolve and mature. There is only one Bangtan Sonyeondan. Deal with it.

min heejin must be getting more insecure now that jin is back, because it signals that bts will return in full force sooner than later. min heejin must also be seething to see hybe ceo park jiwon personally welcome back jin with flowers, and to see the full staff of hybe welcome jin and the complete bts group at the headquarters like the megastars that they are -- not to mention the crowd that assembled outside of the hybe building in less than an hour just to get a glimpse of bts! now would not it be such a spectacle to see min heejin gnashing her teeth and pulling her hair? 🤣🤣🤣

I see BTS still growing and I’m so proud of them!!!💜💜💜

[@F1fan4life]

we love you thank you for all the info that is accurate ❤ BTS 4eVer❤

[@jkook2297]

I have never stanned any kpop group before, in fact, I knew nothing about kpop and was never interested...until BTS 💜When I fell down the "Rabbit Hole", I fell hard...🤗 They are first and foremost, wonderful humans, they're grounded, respectful and so so talented...I love them sooooo much 🤧 The best part is I really feel that they love us back...They always put armies first in everything they do ... The bond between BTS and Armies is something beyond words, and it's just beautiful 💜Apobangpo!!!

[@carmencrespo5704]

As you said, for me too, the most interesting thing will be how they evolve musically. I love BTS because their music is never stagnant or boring. It's so exciting to think what they will achieve together when they return as a full collective.

[@MSy-u3y]

I really enjoy how you process happenings. I never thought that BTS was halted by COVID and the military and NEVER PEAKED. Wow. Just wow. I cannot wait 💜

Just realized JIN will be there to welcome HOBI home while the other five have to go back to duty 😭

[@vanessajones8772]

Jin was awesome! I am enjoying him so much...the Festa event was just amazing...and Jin is one very handsome guy! He has made us so proud while serving his country.... exemplary job and I expect the magic to continue with him and his BTS brothers...❤💜🇺🇲

Seeing that Bighit and BTS' relationship is still solid is great. BTS are such veterans that staff be like "come what may"

V suprised me the most with gaining weight of muscular mass. He was never my type before, however, with more muscular mass, he looks really good! He should keep those muscles. And RM is amazing as always, they all are!

@@0xyGen_2.p0 I t was Tae's aim 2 gain weight. He said it in a WEVERSE post a few months back. He told us how much he'd gain and how much more he had 2 go!!! Soo,I expect he may keep those muscles!!😂

I can't wait for their second chapter as a group. These guys are true Superstars and I think a few people in that HYBE building needs to be reminded who runs the show in K-POP. It won't take a witch doctor to predict that😂😂😂😂

good

[@sheilaschannel2791]

True..💜 BTS and ARMY has still a long longgggg journey to enjoy...love u jin💜

[@anayayoung731]

I'm a strong believer that everything happens for a reason. I think them peaking in chapter 2 will have a better impact because in chapter 1 all of kpop was riding the coattails of their success so them peaking would be looked at as all of kpop peaking together. Them taking this break put the spotlight on the other groups and they did not live up to the hype. There were no significant achievements. Now, when they come back, not only will the fill that void but their impact will be obvious to everyone. I believe that's why the groups that were claiming success under their achievements (not naming any names) is on hiatus and will have their comeback in 2025 too.

[@catherinewandera8790]

So true 👍. Any group that didn't take advantage of the smear campaigns/ Boycott to get to the next level, probably never will. Lightning don't strike the same place twice.

[@jaitsadi-gee]

From the beginning of the "Hiatus," I thought this was going to be an important step in the BTS evolution. Each member having new and separate experiences will add a different note in their overall harmony...a different shade in their palette, and when they get back together, they will paint - not a whole NEW Universe, bc the basis for everything BTS will be underlying - a heretofore unimaginable Universe? OMNIverse? Whatever it is, ARMY will have a place. Bc, since BTS is, at their core, about Love, their Love for ARMY will show the World what a Real, Symbiotic, and Heart-to-Heart relationship is about. I don't know about y'all, and I can only speak for myself, but I am more excited for the artistic version of *"TAKE TWO"* than for anything in my life...and that's saying a lot! #aRMyLOVE💙💕 #YetToComePROOF #TAKETWO #INDIGO #RM_SOMETHING💕💙 #CLOSER💕 #SEXYNUKIM #RIGHTPLACEWRONGPERSONandHeavenandComeBackToMeandLostandGroin💞💙 #BOTTEGAVENETA #D_DAYandVALENTINOandNBAandSAMSUNG #JACKINTHEBOXandOnTheStreetandLOUISVUITTON #JINNYsKITCHENandCELINEandSlowDancingLAYOVER! #TheASTRONAUTandJINRAMENandCARTIER #DREAMERSandCALVINKLEINandSEVEN #FACEandDIORandTIFFANY&CO #BTSPavedTheWay!

...not only did they greet him ... they had to take leave from the military to do that. Lots of international ARMY are there.... we'll be gearing up for OCT when Hobi gets out>>>and, as always, thank you for your channel. i appreciate all the time and effort you put into it.

[@PurpleluvAlways]

Thank you so much for all the content you give us on BTS. I always look forward to your take on things. I’m from the UK I’m an older Army who discovered the boys through my youngest daughter. I went with her to Wembley on the second day ( so iconic now) just so she had someone with her!! And I then understood her love for them!! I really did!! I’ve felt so emotional since Jin was discharged I can explain it. It’s made want to be in Korea next year when all the boys are discharged!! I don’t know how I’ll do that but I feel we as a family need to be there!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@eileencritchley4630]

Well hello fellow UK girl I was also at Wembley on the second day, lovely to meet you.

[@PurpleluvAlways]

@@eileencritchley4630 Amazing lovely to meet you 💜

[@Mamadun3]

I hope the New Jeans members and their parents see this and come to the realization that they have a long way to go to achieve true success.

[@velmalegaspi1741]

They so in sync with each other.

[@mimiOT72025]

Artists, YES! And they’re so different & have advanced so much individually that it can’t help but strengthen the whole. And you’re correct about their focus: Jhope said it More: it’s the work not the money that makes him breathe & he wants more. You can hear that in all their solo work.

[@noraschmelebeck1014]

The most important thing in BTS is the LOVE and RESPECT and ADMIRATION the members have for each other and ARMYS (from around the world) I can feel that 💜 (I have a hearteu 💜 of an ARMY ,not yet officially one ) but I'm IN for life ! Best of luck to BTS ,HYBE ,BIGHIT! ARMY/FANS around the world, let's show the haters what we are made of 🫶🫰💜🤜🤛 😎 BTS FOREVER 💜

[@charnight181]

I love your channel, it helps to make me feel connected, which is very rare for me. I am South African, and 73years old, I'm sure I won't need to elaborate on that. Really liked this video, and I'm so exited for what is to come. 💜

[@eileencritchley4630]

I think BigHit are quite wise they don't want accidents they don't want anyone getting hurt so they'll go with what the members want if they can work it in a way that BTS gets as much as possible of what they want/require while doing it in the safest possible way to protect the members and ARMY. That's a good company ethic to have. It's what you want from a your company you want them to do the risk assessments and come up with idea's to make things safer and easier for everyone.

[@fab7BTS4life]

Thank you for your mindful insights. I agree with you... their next chapter and creativity will transform our perceptions as fans and supporters. I hope Army can keep their minds and hearts open to benefit from the courage that BTS has to express their true selves. I am amazed with their capacity to break barriers, stereotypes and patterns, and to find new ways of becoming more authentic humans. Thank you!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@pamelaJoyce384]

It has been an incredible response and out poring of emotion and global love. I have only witnessed it 2 other times in my life Elvis when he went to the Army and The Beatles with Beatlemania. Those musical history events were global. In modern times BTS is the 3rd. Of course we didn’t have the media like we do now but I can tell you it was always on our news. In our papers and magazines. I’m really glad I got to witness this.❤

[@sallycapotosto6927]

It should come as no surprise that all the members chose to celebrate Jin's return with Armies. Whenever they have anything to celebrate (birthdays or awards) they like to share it with Army. Also, regarding the BU, I just discovered a new channel (Into The Bangtan Universe Wormhole) which is breaking down what has happened so far using all resources available (notes, videos, games, etc.). I confess that I've never really followed the BU closely. I get the gist of what happened, but there were parts that I didn't catch at all. I usually just rely on Bookish Theories and XCeleste to tell me what was going on. It'll be interesting to see what you've come up with. 💜

[@christinebaukus8281]

I agree, Into The Bangtan Universe Wormhole is an incredible source for understanding the BU. They present all the information in a clear and concise way making it easier to understand. I try to spread the word about their channel whenever I can!

[@kara-karina8530]

I think Jin will do both singing and acting. I am looking forward to both 🎉 💜💜

[@lawaanjaideelyon1890]

[@elianamariano308]

BTS are artists and have a strong bond as a team and personally. 💜💜💜💜 I see them as 7 individuals extremely talented and with different colors artistically. And I appreciate each one of them , their personalities, their unique artistical form of expression .

The strategic level of #1 ARMY tier is phenomenal. Everything about how you support BTS is just like our OT7. You all work so hard that regardless of Geffen's lack of support, BTS will never lose strength in their sales and promotions. You all amaze me more each day. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜/💜BH/💜ARMY
