"BTS HARDSHIPS 2013-2021" Reaction - Racism, mistreatment, accusations, & More 😢 | Couples React

[@RozaDias914]

Bangtans went through a lot of hardships and it was difficult for each of them. They show that no matter what bottom you are, no matter how they spread rot on you, you can achieve your goal with perseverance and zeal. They trusted each other and went to their goal. You can't stop! BTS is a family that has become a legend. And we are the Army who admire them.

[@amiii5292]

18:12 I wished xceleste explained some of the things like the no signal sign, the story with Japan and the enlistment more detailed. The problem with that stories is that they were HUGE and led to a MASSIVE amount of hate towards BTS that you can‘t even imagine. BTS didn‘t attend the Gaon Charts after the no signal event because attacks and hate campaigns over the no signal sign were THAT bad. The Japan and the enlistment things are political and go beyond music. In regards to the Japan story people even sided with Nazis over kpop. People are willing to go so low just to harm BTS. Usually fanwars are online, but BTS had literally go to court because of claims and the Blue House of Korea or political parties were involved. So this goes way beyond BTS‘ online presence and are personal harmful attacks against the boys and the group directly. All of this started just because other fandoms are scared of their success…

[@riri95zislove77]

I am an ARMY from 2014 and watching this hurts my heart but you know what ? I am proud cause' whatever obstacles along the way, BTS and ARMY will always make it.

I love BTS and ARMY forever and always. 💜 Thank yoi for your genuine reaction guys! More powers and Godbless.

[@usagi009]

Oh , hey , I become an ARMY in 2014 too . I heard some kpoppers talking really bad things about the boys ' they are so ugly to be idols ' , ' They wear cheap clothes ' , ' They are loud ' things like that. When I heard those, I felt so bad even if I didn't know BTS at that time. I got home , I searched for BTS and I watched them . Boy in luv , No more dreams and after that I watched their v-logs and BTS bombs . They were so awkward, chaotic, loud and just having fun you know. Most importantly, they're genuine . That's how I became ARMY . Their visuals are the last thing I would mention if someone asked me how I became a fan . Aoaf course , they're good looking people since back then and now . It would sound a little cringed but it was never about superficial things . I've been with them since . It's so worth it .

[@clxtnlxx]

Back in 2019 at MAMA Awards I still hear Seokjin's savage words, in his signature graceful style, still remain superior for me. He did not mince his words when he called out a certain section of artists for manipulating charts to their gain. I remember him saying, "Wouldn't it be better to make music in more honest ways" 💜

[@tso7785]

A whole new Hardships video could be made in the 2 years since this one. Jimin is attacked on a regular basis. BB and Grammy’s shady practices. RM’s serious internal invasion of Privacy. Etc. At the same time, their successes continue despite the haters that do everything in their power to hold BTS down. It’s heartbreaking to know BTS sees the hate online. They don’t deserve it.

[@Cinta_88]

Unfortunately we are not in a sunshine and rainbows era at the moment. Without going into it, ALL the guys, especially Jimin with his latest release (and I’m sure Suga/AgustD will as well when his new album comes out), have taken BTS to so many new heights and breaking records left and right. So proud of how much they have achieved despite the odds being heavily stacked against them!

As always, I very much agree with Summer. I've been an army since 2017 and at that time, I was bullied for liking BTS. Years has past and it's still SO exhausting to always be defending and trying to change people's minds so they can give BTS a chance. Now I'm just trying to make haters at least respect them, but I've reached the point where I don't care about their opinions anymore. I will continue to support them for the rest of my days because their music and achievements are enough to prove what an amazing artist they are. Thank you for reacting to this video 💜 I think I'm turning into a Summer bias jsjs 🥰

[@aylinakbulut7430]

The proof that the guys have a pure heart. To be insulted by a radio host because they covered a song by Coldplay to their own song TOGETHER with Coldplay and then to be nominated for a Grammy with this song is wow. If the radio host would see that Chris Martin is the biggest army and loves every single member

[@pixiiie]

The fact that it's still going on. Just last week Jimin was purposefully kicked out from top10 of bbh100 after topping the chart previous week on groundless basis... At first everyone thought it's due to sudden rule changes in bbh100 sales which filtered 60% of the total sales, but as it turned out, the "new rule" was only applied to Like Crazy and all other songs' stats in the charts remained the same for the next week.. Billboard is yet to give the explanation cuz US Armys actually paid and bought the music and this whole thing means their efforts went down the drain

[@KhalidMehmood-kv6mk]

Honestly this whole thing is messed up and worse is they are not even clarifying it means there really is smth suspicious about it..

I am a 65 yr old fan of BTS. I am constantly amazed at the comments i get for being a fan by people who know nothing sbout the Boys or their achievements. In fact 3 generations of my family love them. I see no difference to listening to songs in Korean than to listening to songs in Italian, Spanish, French or German that might be performed by another group I like (Il Divo). They are all admirable young men and deserving of respect.

[@lost_girl1999]

I remember the Vlive Jin did before he went to Military. He said he got lots of hate because he didn't enlisted. And he said he was already planning to go but Agency didn't let him to announce that to media. So he had to get bullied and insulted few more months. He said it was hurtful and upsetting to see the hate comments. I felt really bad for him This happened just recently, so all I know is they will get hate and criticism in the future too...

[@RITstar06]

And when we fight back we’re the bad guys. Everyone calls us the most toxic fandom but they don’t realise how much we hold back we’ve always been loving to others until and unless they disrespect BTS. BTS helped us a lot and they are like a family to us, so if someone says something bad about them we’re not gonna keep quiet. Anyways thank you so much for understanding us and supporting our boys. We love you 💜 Borahae 💜

The craziest thing is that it still continues to this day - fans of other artists still hating, posting defamation and outright malicious things, industry in sk and us trying to hinder their success (most recent ridiculous situation w Jimin and bb h100)...being an army is not for the weak, bts only have us and each other

[@tabii0613]

Honestly similar thing have been happening more and more since Jimin started to release his album and this week it just got worst and more exhausting with the billboard and yesterday there was a mass hater towards the members which was literally so disgusting like being an army is tiring and not an easy thing. We always have to prove ourselves over and over again.

[@hershiexoxo8159]

i really recommend reading the white paper project because it's just so insightful and full of facts! you can also understand the various viewpoints and how bts were treated in japan and in the west during that time. i remember this anecdote of how japan armys were threatened in their universities by other people because they were armys during that time. their lives were in danger and the whole of the fandom were living in fear both digitally and irl as there was high risk of being tracked or stuff like that. it was just so scary to even be online and speak for them or even just tweet a harmless post because you would immediately see a dozen accounts accusing them of being fans of bts and threaten them.

[@partypartyyeah13]

In the last week alone, we’ve had an influx of anti comments about their hopes for the members to get SA’d in the military, wishes for members to self-h@rm, and we’ve had to watch as Billboard changed their tracking rules ONCE AGAIN to bring BTS down on their charts (this time they’ve actively messed with Jimin’s “Like Crazy” to knock him from his #1 spot on Hot100). Antis LOVED to celebrate that one. The levels of sabotage and pure spite that people aim at BTS is disgusting. It is exhausting being ARMY sometimes but we’re not going anywhere. We have their backs always, just as they have had ours. 💜 (Side note: please don’t fight antis by being disrespectful and cruel towards other groups. I hate seeing ARMY sink to their level, and I’ve seen that a lot lately on Twitter. Take the high road, as BTS always does. BTS karma will always come for the antis)

[@se7nn1120]

I've been an army since pre debut and back then everything was like, tooth to the nail, balls to the wall type grind for both the boys and the fandom. It was an ugly time to be an army. Almost everyone was against us.. fandoms, media, etc. Naturally, our "over protectiveness" were labelled "toxic" by some. And I'm not saying that we're a fandom of saints.. but it does get bloody when fan wars starts. And for BTS is constant. 24/7. It ridiculous. Over time you kind of get used to it, but not really, because they say dumb shit. You'll be surprised but how little the media talk about BTS in South Korea. But you know.. Karma is an ARMY and she came and is coming for those who hurt BTS and ARMY. In a recent video, Suga discusses about all the hate they received back in their rookie days. How they didn't understand where it was all coming from. But he said he forgave them. He didn't drop any fandom name, but guess what? The fandom in question began crying online. 😂 The number 1 question.. "How does BTS has a strong fanbase?" If you look beyond the makeup, flashy clothes, looks, "just Kpop", etc.. you'll see what ARMY has been seeing this whole time. Funny, talented, hard working, humble, respectful, boys who beat all odds. By the way that band Forever In Your Mind who said "There needs to be a European or an American boy band at the top", they've been inactive a little over after that radio interview. (Debuted in 2016 and been MIA since 2018)

[@nathalykim1263]

i stand agaisnt the lyrics in war of hormone, and i am very proud of being an army because of how bts, and especially namjoon, learned and grew from the backlash they received for that song getting more information about women's struggles and feminism and being more mindful of their role in society as men, these actions are very important and they mean a lot to me, i'm very happy about how they handled that valid criticism

[@desyoge8248]

[@hwngtwooo]

I have been ARMY since 2013 and to have seen all this happen at the time was really hard, even though i'm a big fan of other groups, there were situations where I felt very sorry for them because it was unfair the way they were treated. They never received anything easy. The media didn't really support them as they should have, everything they did was cause for judgment and they were treated badly inside and outside the country. I'm really proud of them and happy to be able to see where they got to even with all this going on. Sorry for my english and thank you for supporting them. I hope in the future y'all will have a chance to go to one of their concerts, it is amazing. 💜

[@heesuh9505]

There are a lot more incidents from different parts of the world that weren't mentioned in this video. For one example, the Billboard changed their Hot 100 rules just after Jimin charted #1 again. They've done it at least 3 times (that I know of) each time after BTS charted #1 so it will be harder for BTS to be on the top. They make bigger weight on radio plays and smaller portion on streaming. As everybody knows they will not play BTS songs on radio and BTS won't pay payola to them like western singers do. When BTS made an English song, Dynamite, the BigHit did some promotion activities in the US, then radio stations played very minimum spins. The Billboard's been changed rules on limiting # of streaming, buying albums, viewing #s..... on counting toward the charts. They have not changed the charting rule for years before BTS came to the scene. It's almost a miracle that Jimin got #1 on Hot 100.

" When People throw u stones, it's becuz you are a good tree full of fruits.They see a lot of harvest in u .Don't go down to their level by throwing them back the stones,but throw them your fruits so the seeds of yourself may inspire them to change their ways"..i thought this would be very appropriate in case of bts

[@anneminiejagi]

It never hurts any less no matter how much i watch this hardship video. BTS really went through A LOT. In my 6 years as an ARMY, the hatred towards them has gotten worse and we can see that happening recently. Jimin has been targeted during his solo debut with antis organising a huge smear campaign and a hate train on him on twitter. There's also multiple attempts of sabotage on jimin such as billboard pushing him down the hot 100 chart on the second week by removing 100k sales from like crazy, making him having the biggest fall for a #1 debut in history. Just yesterday, antis teamed up to attack BTS and made vile jokes that's so disgusting and triggering. All of these are so hard to watch. I'm praying every day that BTS will be protected by everything evil and from people with ill intentions towards them.

[@SuperCupcake2010]

Oh this one...the fact that I have seen this video so many times and every time I feel differently. The more you learn about them and you see the bigger context of the situations the more you realize some of these moments were worse than depicted and some were a lot more tame and more teaching tools in life than anything else. Would I want to go through any of these? Hell No! But I truly believe that you are given in life what you can handle and what you need to go through to be the person you are today. All of Bangtan are great humans first and foremost and I am thankful for that and obviously I wish it was easier for them but I think I will just say that I am glad they made it out on the other end better people. I teared up at some points this time because recently I have just been thinking about their families, their parents and loved ones during these times. Like the guys really went through it, more than what has been shown here and they kind of signed up knowing at least there was going to be hard times but how do you prepare a parent when they have to watch certain things that you wouldnt wish on anyone happen to their child that they sent away so that they could follow their dreams. My heart goes out to them because as a fan who loves them I feel for them but to be in the inner circle watching it unfold infront of your eyes and having no way to protect your little ones, that had to have been the worst.

i'm so glad you reacted to this video, some of this things are so toxic that is crazy how strong are this guys. They were minors when some of the masive hate happen. As a young man a seriously don't have any idea how they overcame it. It's very impressive but sad at the same time

[@MinSugaCheonjae]

I became a fan of BTS in 2019, so I have not lived through their "darkest" era i.e. 2014 to 2017, when they were being groundlessly accused of plagiarism and chart manipulation, when fans of other kpop artists were trying to actively sabotage their music releases, when these antis systematically trended hateful tweets about them, when their every achievement was being questioned, when they were looked down upon by bigger kpop artists because of their "lower" status. ARMYs who have lived through this era have talked about how emotionally draining it was for them at that time to constantly defend BTS against haters. I can only imagine how hard it must have been because it is extremely hard for me even today. Everyday I see people being racist towards then, trying to diminish their achievements, trying to "sabotage" them. The hate might not be as intense as it used to be, but I still see it everyday. Sometimes I have to desensitize myself just so I can enjoy being a fan of BTS. I'll be the first to admit that our fandom has its own set of problems, but that doesn't justify the hate that BTS gets on a daily basis. If not for their bond and trust in each other, BTS might have disbanded a long time back.

[@nalishachetty7287]

They had gone through such tough times but they came out stronger. I am so proud of the people they have become. They trusted each other and had faith in each other. Suga has now even forgiven all those people.

[@the_black_orlov9367]

It's always hard to see what they went through again, it takes me back to the time when these things happened and I remember how angry we all felt and how hurt we were but we tried our best to always defend them and shower them with our love and support.

[@0becalp325]

Since day 1,it's been tiring because everyone would hate on the boys for anything and everything. Since they didn't mention in the video i won't either,but i was fan of both groups about the uniform thing and like if one groups wear school uniforms,no one else can ? That's ridiculous. Even until last year/this year there was a spanish host (who is already hated because he's misogynist,etc) said something about Hobi. Anyway,been here for almost 10 years and I'm still gonna be there for the boys 💜

[@zimzim8232]

It's crazy the amount of hate they get, it's constant and never ending. ARMY works so hard to protect them, it's exhausting. It's been pretty bad these past few weeks, Twitter is just full of people with hate. To everyone reading I know that it's really hard to read the vile things they post, please don't engage just report and block. The haters just drain your energy and make you angry. I love you all!! ARMY and BTS forever!!!

[@pranjal926]

I was almost cried to see the hardships they were going through all these years. They all together make themselves no 1 group in the world but now as members working on their solo activities many solo stan supporting their fav member only. they deserve to be treated equal. Armies have changed😢😢😢

[@its_me_lun5060]

After watching this video, it made it so hard for me to look at any other groups or their fans in an innocent way again, because knowing about the past things they did to BTS or how far they went to try to ruin them makes me feel so angry and disappointed of the world. Like how could you make fun of someone’s GRANDMA’s death, just how! Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a hater or anything and would never try to talk trash about other groups, but I see myself enjoying their music better than the people or their group. Anyways, I am so proud of our boys for their success and hard work. 💜

[@saranghaddict2653]

I ignored watching this video a lot but finally watched it with u guys but realization hit that you gotta know everything you cant just know the good stuff u should know the hardships gotta be bulletproof

[@justapotato3618]

Thank you!!!! Some people think they had it so easy, these 7 very talented individuals went through so much to get where they are now. And i have always been supportive and proud of them since debut. I am 54 yrs old and still proud to call my self ARMY!! Great reaction!💜💜💜

[@ccx7004]

Love your discussion at the end and fully agree! It’s exhausting to keep proving yourself to people who don’t even care to learn or listen. I have a sneaking suspicion that this is why they named their anniversary compilation album “Proof”, like: “look at this small sampling of our discography, at what we’ve done through the years, and then say again that we don’t deserve to be here” kind of a vibe. RM said during a concert speech that he sees BTS as the bullet, and ARMY as the proof, so together we are “bulletproof”, which I also loved 💜

[@shyfan68]

Thank you for this reaction..I remember 2016.They really had a hard time.Your words were on point.Great reaction

[@joonscrab137]

"it's exhausting to always have to prove yourself to ppl who don't care" What Summer said did really hit me , cause we've been feeling like this for years, BTS has always to prove themselves to their country and to the world, and we ARMY have always to prove to ppl that the music we love and listen to is good music and BTS are real artist..

[@miniemimi0122]

okay... this is my first time commenting because i can't contain what im feeling right now. after seeing all the hardships they went through, until now they are still being sabotaged by big companies or platforms that you wouldn't think would do that to them, a group who just want to write music and perform for their fans. Especially now that each members of the group has been releasing their own solo songs, they are receiving sabotages and getting ridiculed either by locals, antis or fans of an another idol. ARMYs has been struggling a lot since then especially those ARMYs who are active on twitter where fanwars happen almost every day. I just don't understand, how rotten can a person's soul be, for them to t@lksht and continue to live life as if they didn't trampled on someone? "Don't give them attention." "Leave them be." "Ignore them, just report the account." It's tiring to be told like that. I know ARMY fanbases are tired too and just don't wanna engage in arguments anymore. It's just frustrating how you can't do anything but watch (or wait for the company/label to take action) while the members continued to get slandered and belittled by people who aren't interested in getting to know them and ignore how much the group or each member suffers from all the hate😭 Im sorry for writing a long-a$$ essay. I just can't contain what i feel anymore ever since the start of Jimin's solo promotion and then Suga's dropping of album next week😭 anyway, i've been a subscriber for a long-time now. your videos became a part of my morning routine. i always love your reactions and i appreciate that you appreciate Bangtan so much. Borahae😊💜

[@shankookie]

glad you guys learnt more and more about BTS. no worries, a lot to digest so take your time guys. no rush.. we understand. but this documentary is really important to know the depth of BTS and Army.. and now you guys know their other side of BTS... purple heart'tu..

[@zoilagalvan9988]

Every time I watch Rosan documentary videos I get chills. She’s done such an amazing job.

[@btscomingbackin2025]

A few weeks ago, a lot of antis trying to go to BTS live streaming platform and post hate speeches, disgusting comments... and when jimin do a live to celebrate #1 hot 100 with us army, they still won't stop attacking/ sexual harassing him. Right now army are helping each other by sending emails to hybe and hope that they do something to protect him, jimin is too kind. He didn't deserve this much hate😢 Even on twt they attack him with 40k quote tweets under a video of jimin sing set me free. (the song is so hard to sing it live because he has to sing while do difficult choreography also there's a problem with his in-ear monitors)

[@KhalidMehmood-kv6mk]

Correction:it was in fact during encore stage where he was having difficulty with his earpiece or mic otherwise he killed in live performance.

[@maryjody]

I like your rambling, Daniel! I love to hear what you have to say 😊 I can relate really well because I'm also often told that I tend to ramble. But come on, it's BTS! 😄 There's just so much to talk about, I don't want to stop!

[@tae._has._no._shoes]

They are so strong .... They gave us strength to live, to love ourselves and made our minds grow stronger and stronger ... Yet so humble and friendly ... Angels indeed 💜💜

[@yasmine7305]

I’ve been a fan for 9 years, and honestly it was hard to be a fan at the beginning. I would be in the internet for hours trying hard to dampen hate and racist comments; I was in high school and had time lool. But it was a frustrating time, gradually with each year the fandom would grow - and I was able to take the backseat….the hate will never stop, but our love and respect for them won’t either

[@whalienkosmos7678]

Watching again made me emotional again 😅 but true Armys are really protective. The great thing about this fandom is that they invest their effort supporting BTS and don't waste their time critizing fandoms.

[@dingdongpartypartyyeah7584]

I can't hold my tears back in this documentary even though I already watched this countless still broke my heart 💔

[@Carnibee]

It broke my heart when BTS started getting racism all around the world as they got more popular internationally. I became an Army in 2016 and was there for the first BBMAs, voting every day, but when that started I felt hurt and almost guilty, like we didn’t prepare them enough for what would happen. We pushed so hard for their success and then they suffered after getting it. I know we couldn’t have prepared them, but that’s how much we treasure them and didn’t want them hurt anymore. Unfortunately they had no one to turn to who could guide them through it and suffered for a long time alone (with each other, but alone). I’m really glad that they can now be that support for someone else and I’m so proud of them for being strong and surviving.

[@ducksauce4life]

damn guys....every time I go through these hardships over and over again in these videos with different people, I still get Hella P/O'd and want to fight these haters over again lmao. I'm so glad that you all have leveled up your understanding of these men and what they have achieved, on top of what they have had to strenuously go through as a brotherhood. It makes me really happy and I'm positve that more army appreciate you guys and the journey you are on. Keep up the amazing videos, the handwork you put into these reacts for army and your viewers! *side note* you amazing and you matter Xen!

[@ideagirl]

They still face hardships doing their solo work. Recently Jimin hit #1 for "Like Crazy" on Billboard. The latest buzz is that Billboard has changed the rules. And it affects Jimin's number 1 rating. I honestly dont know the details as I've learned to ignore all the controversies haters bring up. Or stupid changes music award shows make when BTS is rated #1. Army knows the Truth!

[@dotfyouw]

i love the way Summer see bts, i mean, she look at them with such of respect and admiration, it's beautiful and she's so beautiful too, i'd seen that she is really intelligent with a soft heart, i just love her so much :((

[@dardarmissesv]

Thats not even half of BTS and Army struggle against haters. But thank you for your comments and for your love and appreciation with the members

[@Kay61306]

BTS has gone through a lot with the industry and haters. And what’s frustrating is that it’s still the same. The music industry constantly sabotaging bts music releases and antis still jumping bts for any little thing. But either way bts pushes through and army will always be behind supporting them ‼️

[@genovevalara3989]

Savage Saga with his swag, can always put them in their place not only in interviews but in his songs. Have to love him. 💜💜💜

[@Ann_T75]

I was one of the fans that called ft worth PD when I saw this threat against Jimin. It scared the life out of me being a new army at the time.

[@Baepsae77]

I always appreciate your views on things. And while every fandom has toxic people, as a whole, Army is the most dedicated and protective. I’m a multi stan and started as Army. The things this fandom can do for the greater good is astounding.

[@bubix513]

I'm gonna cry this video is so hard for me whenever i watch it i can't help but cry it's heartbreaking how much they suffferd, still suffering when they give nothing but love and positivity

[@shre33]

7:03 this was sooo weird for me because so many other groups did that concept and not only this specific incident bts got attacked openly for so many things but Kpop didn’t work like that others groups at the time never got questioned like that it was only bts who were always confronted about silly anti fan complaints and then they started their own contents instead of gng on variety shows and now for new groups this became a prototype a lot of other things bts did like more interactions with fans ,talking about their feelings,uploading dance videos ,uploading more behind content was very new and innovative and now it has become a norm for groups that came after bts they literally changed the way Kpop groups worked by their success

[@inmarsmind]

What’s sad about it is that it is still going on. All the xenophobic things the general public tends to say about them and sometimes even the industry doesn’t even hide their hate towards them. Just this week, a lot of bad things were said about the members. That is why ARMY is so protective of BTS, and some people tend to see us as rude and just way too dedicated, but the truth is that they only have their fans in this industry, most people don’t root for them so we put an extra amount of care to defend them and protect their image.

[@aqsa2133]

Again two days ago billboard has been changed its rules bcoz Jimin "like crazy" was a first solo song which make it's position possible to 1st at Billboard 200 Hits But when the time comes to announce the weekly winner it's rules changed I can't believe it's happening 😭 We need justice ⚖️ It's really beyond.....................

[@martasw26]

They didn't change any rules. They just didn't count Jimins sales. And only his sales. They hate that we winning. They did that on purpose. They are just xenophobic haters.

It's sad that they still are getting hates even after all these years of struggles...all they have done is spread love around the world but industries and other fandom always try to pick up anything to make them suffer but we army are also always trying our best to make them feel safe n loved🥺hope they are always surrounded by good ppl's and hope they stay happy and healthy till the very end💜

You are so right about that, up to this point you can see army trending kind words for all the members to filter all the hateful comments they get on twitter. We have to do it, if we don't no one will.

I just love so much these kids! It hurts me so deeply all these attacks. I’m so proud of them how they overcome these hardships. I’m with you Abby, I’m ready to fight for them! Thanks to Army that has been with them since the beginning! I just joined, but I have purple blood now😆💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

they were suffered alot . thats why they are the number one boy band in the world . harder work is never wasted.

[@alohahoney9437]

I have to say I’ve been watching you guys from the beginning and this is the first time I said to myself. They are truly Army now. I felt the emotions coming off the screen! I know you wanted to say bad words….When people talk crap about our boys we get emotional…mad…and protective! Especially with Summer..It was all over her face. I could really tell the more she watched the more she got upset for the boys. So I just want to officially welcome you to the fandom! I can tell you love our boys and I appreciate that so much!!

[@mariabaillet]

about the white paper project i feel like it was a little down played in this video, you hear armys from back then talk about it and you can hear in their voice and in their words how traumatic it was for both Armys and BTS. Armys were getting a lot of anxiety attacks and BTS were very very depressed since people from the west got involved it became this massive thing so Armys came together to write the White Paper Project. till today if you see an army talk abt it they will tell you how 2017-2018 were the worst and hardest years for BTS and Army. I think a lot of us, me included, stayed because we knew how unfair the world was and we wanted this magnificent South Korean to succeed globally, unfortunately till this day things are hard and its very stressful. this las week has been just the worst, the unfairness from billboard towards BTS has never been a secret but now it has crossed the line and what they're doing is highly unethical. of course we are being loud about this injustice but for us is pretty normal that people wont side with us and they will throw sht just because its about BTS and Army. for example for years Army has complained about ticketmaster, and we've been loud, but it wasnt until Taylor Swift fans complained that people started to pay attention and it was even taken to court, it took for it to be about a white woman so people would start paying attention. theres this saying in the fandom that is "BTS only has Army and Army only had BTS" "its just BTS and us" its disappointing and hurtful because it makes you see how corrupt this industry is.
