0:00 intro: 1d's hiatus
3:07 hiatus in k-music
4:49 bts tried to clean 1d's mess
6:55 the bts law
8:47 the new contract
10:49 is bts doing too much?
14:33 conclusion
It's funny because ARMY's were very accepting of this news and knew it didn't mean forever. Meanwhile journalists were misinterpreting the entire situation, as they always do. BTS is not like anyone else, and as an ARMY of six years, they never break their promises.
They did the same for their very first vacation break. They love the false and bad taglines.
Ikr and it's bcz we know BTS more than the general public and media, bcz they've been honest to us it's easier to just relax and lay back while enjoying their solo music (but that doesn't mean I don't miss them together tho 😭👐)
also cause we got to know it from the members before the announcement....i love how EVERY TIME before a major announcement at least one of the members comes online and let us know by themselves
Borahae 💜 ARMY
The majority of idol fans and followers know it's not forever. We're used to it at this point. It's just how things work over there.
Western media and journalists have the internet at their disposal yet most of them chose not to do any research which was just sad. And it wasn't anything complicated to look up either. I know people who have no interest in kpop do a quick search to understand the situation.
It truly was funny.
As someone who has supported 1D since 2012, let's be real, they lied to us. A LOT. BTS has never broken any of their promises until this day. I'm not worried at all about BTS coming back because I truly trust them. They're both too different.
@@KARIAP they said they were going on a hiatus and coming back, but they never did, and it seemed like they were actually never planning to come back. So the general public now interprets the word hiatus as "we're actually disbanding but we don't want to disappoint you"
@@KARIAP to start with, they always faked the fact that they were truly happy as a group, the relationships they had with each other were pretty forced too, another lie. When Zayn left, was after months of him looking sick in interviews, being even more quiet than usual and losing a lot of weight, still, he was touring and promoting FOUR, first it was said he was leaving the tour for a while, then, they announced he was leaving the group, another lie. Louis promised they will be back in 18 months, even when he knew there was no contract at all. Another lie. The list is long. However, they were in a pretty bad place, the management was shit, the guys were exploited, five albums in five years, always on tour, the shows were almost every two days, no time to rest at all and if they lied was because they had to, i suppose they were grateful for directioners, but never truly felt the bond I feel with bangtan, and I'm sure it's related to the way they had no control over their careers, no creative freedom at all. That's why i'm happy with the way things turned out at the end.
@@moonchild.99_ Interesting
@@moonchild.99_ Yeah I'm not even mad at 1D for lying to us, to be honest. They were mistreated terribly, and still so young (Harry was 16 when they debuted, wasn't he?). I'm just sad they dont speak to each other anymore, I think having friends who understand what the other one was going through would be good for all of them. Everyone says the K-Pop industry is terrible but 1D as a western group was mishandled and mistreated.
sí, mintieron pero tampoco es como que ellos le deban algo a alguien al final de cuentas, ellos también tienen que crecer como artistas y como personas, cosas que no podían en una disquera tan tóxica como la que tenían, no es difícil ponerse en el lugar de alguien.
The thing is no ARMY was worried when they announced the break, yet media decided to make it sound like we went crazy lol.
True
Media always puts us in a bad light, because despite how diverse ARMY is, every single one of us is thrown in the category of “obsessed boy-crazy teenage girls” because that’s the expectation of people who like boy groups. Meanwhile one of my biggest ARMY friends is a nurse who is almost 30 years old. It’s honestly routed in misogyny against stereotypical things that young girls tend to like. I guarantee they don’t make the same assumptions for things like sports being obnoxious boy things.
That’s true many articles was saying BTS disbanded which they never said the media tried to tarnish them. and other people was too but all they said was they was taking a break and going to be apart for a while they didn’t say there careers had ended typical media they hype up celebrity’s too much and make something so small into a big deal. Jungkook had to come on Weverse to tell the fans it wasn’t true and Rm made a post about it on Weverse saying it too. The media misunderstood .
Exactly
As someone that had been a big fan of western groups before BTS, including 1D, I actually wasn't worried either. It was strange. Every time a western band would say they were taking a break or going on hiatus, I would be like "Yeah right, we won't be seeing them again anytime soon". Even with 1D I was skeptical. But not with BTS. I never doubted what they said for a second. It's because we have seen them keep their promises over and over. Also it helps that they have more time invested as a group than those other groups, almost 10 years now, if you don't count the years they spent together before their debut. Then there is the fact that they willingly had chosen to be in a group, rather than being forced into one. Also it's how the way kpop groups are seen in korea in itself. How they are given higher acclaim, for the most part, than a lot of soloist. Finally the fact that they are literally being forced to stop activities to do their military service, rather than this actually being their own decision. The list can continue but I think I stated the gist of it. When BTS said hiatus, my immediate thought was "Ok, they are just resting and doing their military service. We will see them again soon," not, "Oh shit. There goes another one".
P.S. To clarify, when I talk about western groups I'm more referring to boy/girl groups or pop groups, not necessarily rock bands. As a general track record, boy/girl groups tend to last around five years or so (there are a few exceptions, and girl groups seem to last a little longer). However, many big rock bands tend to last much longer. I'm still a big fan of a lot of those, Panic at the Disco, Thirty Seconds to Mars, Linkin Park, etc. It's the western pop groups I have a hard time believing in now.
Someone get this girl a job in broadcasting, stat. She has more journalistic integrity than the whole clump of "reporters" in western media combined.
Yeah, but she’s way too biased towards one group. If she wants to get a job in broadcasting, she needs to start looking at things from a neutral perspective.
I don’t think bias is accurate or relevant in this case. These days most broadcasters are truly biased to their stations point of view and make minor attempts to be neutral instead give opinions as news. Boracity is making excellent video essays using data and other direct evidence from articles and videos to support statements. That is journalistic integrity and would carry over to other topics she might investigate too. 👏🏼🫰🏼
@@homura_chan_ Something can be called biased only when someone is lying or hyping about something more than what it actually is.. Not when someone speaks facts. Here she speaks facts and have proofs and analytics to back it up.
@@ushreebakshi8818 bias doesn't care if you're speaking facts. Bias is bias. If this girl loves and idolizes and stans bts, she's biased. If she hates bts, she's biased. Does that mean she can't still speak facts tho? ofc not. She can be bias, but still speak facts.
Ikr this is so reassuring and informative
i dont care what ever anyone says about "faking in front of a camera", If you watch any content from the boys like RUN BTS or anything else, you can feel and sense the love and connection they have. That cannot be faked.
For me the biggest indication is they can drink together. If you had a bunch of people who secretly hated each other, you would not give them alcohol and stick them in a dinner party. BTS get tipsy together on a semi regular basis and they just get more affectionate and laugh about weird sh*t they have gotten up to.
If they were faking it for the cameras they wouldn't hang out with each other so much in their supposed hiatus. If it was any other group, they would try to be as solo as possible, but not BTS because they genuinely like each other.
Also wanted to add that you genuinely do see them fight...and, most importantly, they make-up. We've seen this many times. That's how you know people are close, they fight and make-up.
this is why BTS and Seventeen are my favorote kpop groups. you can literally feel their bond through the screen, you can see they enjoy performing together on stage, and as another person they said, they regularly get tipsy or drunk together, because they trust each other so much. though seventeen hasn't had a group hiatus yet, whenever a member has a hiatus from different reasons, and the only other group I've seen this is BTS, they try to include that member in different ways in whatever they do, because seventeen isn't seventeen without all 13 members and bts isn't bts without all 7 members
@giovannitorres9337 yes, that is an excellent point.
100% facts. We can't compare BTS to any other group because their story is completely different. Trust Bangtan, they've always kept their word.
For real! They never lied about their relationships, their comebacks, their mistakes and their tours
@@HeveanDearest are you trying to say others did
@@OutrageousOpulence No hun😭
@@our7boys773 I wasn’t not getting mad at you you meant 1d right 1d always looked false there friendship looked staged for tv as well they lied to many fans they should of told the truth instead of putting on an act.
I strongly disagree with you there friendship was never fake.
One direction’s management sucked they weren’t free to do anything.
The non bts fans are screaming thinking bts has been ended...
Me as army dancing thinking about all the solos we are gonna get 😀
Can't wait for the concert in 2025 with all their solo performances. Pray for early Asia tour.
slayyyy npc
@Trinity M girl you wrote a paragraph of nothing. Please write more comprehensively like what tf is analyzation
@@zy5992 same girl, my point
Yes as we already know how good their previous solo's are from their individual solo's on BTS albums. Each member is so talented we are all extremely lucky they became BTS.
I think having “Yet to Come” is the perfect song to have been released before they go to the military
Another big problem is “western” music media can’t seem to comprehend that BTS are their own unique phenomenon. You can’t compare them to previous groups, not Anglo-American groups or even other K-pop groups, because they’re something new entirely. The combination of their backstory, lifestyles as brothers, and their international success is unprecedented. They’re also totally upfront and don’t hold back what they’re feeling, going back to their early vlogs, they tell us EVERYTHING, even their pimples and bathroom troubles 😂
And it can be a good thing to have a break to work with others and explore other styles, something different, it can lead to developing fresh ideas to bring back with them when they all come back together again as a full group.
Ahh yes the tale of two toilets! I think it was Hobi saying he recognized Suga in the next stall over just by the way he sighed! 😂💙💜💜💜💜💜💜🐳♾
Well, I don't think they share *everything* with us, there are probably a lot of things going on in their personal lives they're not allowed to share or may not feel comfortable sharing with millions of people. But they certainly share A LOT with us and much more than other artists.
Like when Jungkook's pants ripped on stage and he told the fans about it during TMI 😂 because he felt a breeze lol and Jin and RM tried to tell him to stop. But the little bunny 🐰 is like why there family
One Direction was a work group. The way BTS trained, lived and worked together made them a family. Anyone watching any of their content, outside of music videos, can see how close they are. Jin makes sure they're all fed, RM makes sure they're all on track, etc. Each member has their place in their little family. Western media isn't used to that, so don't understand it.
actually, bands have always had that perception of the closest bestest friends. But as we see in korea or the west that perception is usually not true
One Direction in their band days were family as well. But after all that happened,theyre now just accquintances
BTS members have often talked about how different they are as individuals while still getting along. So they have that bond and that team spirit but they also have different passions, hobbys & preferences.
One thing about bts is that they will never talk shit about other members behind their back
Being both an army and directioner, I love both groups. But when it comes to group dynamics and the connection with fans, BTS tick the boxes. When 1D announced their hiatus, many fans (even now) still have hope that they will come back. BTS continue to comfort us and let us know they aren’t going anywhere, and their ‘hiatus’ is for a reason - military service and solo projects.
It’s just frustrating seeing everyone say ‘BTS are gonna be like 1D and disband’ . 1D wanted to have solo careers and cut ties with S*mon and Syco. BTS are fulfilling their service and taking a well rested break. Both groups were/are in very different situations.
1d and bts are so different that you've gotta be kind dumb to not see the different in their dynamic as a group. im so confused whenever i see anyone saying bts are going to be like 1d because the reason that they disbanded was such a specific situation that anyone assuming that anyone saying hiatus = disbandment has got to have never seen any content from either group because it takes one minute of research to see that their reasons for hiatus werent even close. i hate how these 'credible sources' get away with misinformation or i guess just straight up lying to our faces and not face any consequences because bts's fandom and also 1d's, arent taken seriously in the mainstream media. 😓
Agreed! And when you consider that the guys from 1D had originally auditioned as soloists on X-Factor, not expecting to be placed in a group, you can understand why some of them would eventually want to pursue their original dream of being a solo artist. Their story is just way different from BTS'.
Used to love both but now only bts . I guess my 1d phase is over
alot of fans actually dont belive 1d will come back ak solo stans the majority
the only reason i’m still a little scared all these months later is cause i did used to like 1d back in the day but didn’t follow their band activities or interviews or wtv so i didn’t know what they were like outside of their music and mvs. i heard they went on a hiatus and then they never came back, and that’s where the fear comes from. I know bts is so different and thats incredibly comforting but its kinda like a relationship where i’ve been hurt once and even tho i KNOW the next one wont hurt me as much or at all, there’s still that underlying caution because of the past. it also stings a little cause i’ve been with them since 2018 so like i havent gone this long without them.
One random thing I wanted to add, I thought it was pretty significant that they called their anthology album their FIRST anthology album too
implying there will be more...?
That's an excellent point! I missed that implication. 💜
@@whatisilyionlyknowipurpleyou that’s the thought that I had, I thought it was pretty specific for them to say “their first anthology” in the official statement about the album by Bighit! Who knows, the best is yet to come
@@rissaandnuha One thing I know for BTS is, you must expect the unexpected. They always have something up their sleeves...I trust them 💜
i genuinely hope bts can last as long as SuJu does.. and that the 2025 comeback wont be a farewell comeback
The members of One Direction never had the intention of wanting to be in a group. They all auditioned on X-Factor to be soloists and were rejected. The compromise was if they wanted to be on the show they would have to do it as a group. You are taking a big risk by asking 5 young good looking guys who are complete strangers who sing well to make a group and just hope they are successful and can get along. I mean what 16 year old wouldn't have accepted that opportunity, but I think even when One Direction was formed they never intended it to be a long term deal. They used the group as a launching pad to be what they wanted to be in the first place- soloists. When the members of BTS joined Bighit they knew what they were signing up for, it was to be in a group so it was not something they were forced into. Plus when it comes to kpop it's no secret groups are more successful than soloists where here in the US and in the UK it's the opposite for music artists, soloists are more popular than groups. Notice how so many many members of boy bands weren't taken seriously as music artists until they went solo. I'm really hoping with their solo work BTS reach even a larger audience who are are hesitant to like or check out BTS music due to the "kpop boy band" stigma that surrounds them. I'm already seeing people reacting and liking their music as soloists unaware they are a member of BTS. And BTS has proven you can be in a group and also show your individuality as a soloist. Yes, it's a lot of work to do both but it's possible. I don't think there will ever be a day where BTS is no longer a group. They make time to rest, start families, do their own projects but I don't think they will ever officially break up. Because BTS is more than just a music group, they are a family.
Beautifully said 💜
@@fara2999 Thank you.
I agree! Shinhwa is a Great K pop group and this March 25th will be their 25th group anniversary! Same six members that started back in 1998. Some are married, have children and so on...✌💜
Beautifully, gorgeously said!
@@marygalligan6455 I cant wait for Bts members to have that family life, I hope they can make songs about that life when they start to live it.....lmao
I guess Hollywood and the Western mainstream media is sick of them by now. For them, their success is expected to be temporary, like shiny toys to play with and throw away as soon as possible. BTS doesn't deserve to be treated this way. Let's prove them wrong, ARMY! 2025 will be a big year for us.
its funny how journalists are more 'worried' about their hiatus than us ARMYS LOL
As a directioner I completely agree the 1D "hiatus" was because they were unhappy while BTS and their hiatus is necessary because of military service
True,people literally shit themselves if a group says their going on hiatus because sometimes it just means they are disbanding,also I fucking love your username
They are NOT on a hiatus, please pay attention.
@@beany1944 But they are on a hiatus, which is a temporary pause. They won’t make music as a group for a couple of years.
@Beany yes they are they are on a hiatus from group activity
Bro your username😂😂
Before BTS started, I was into 1D and genuinely enjoyed their music. However, as they were not putting out content, I started listening to Kpop and BTS popped up. They were my new faves and brought a lot to the table. As for 1D, their music was starting to become generic and boring. It’s entertaining how the western public don’t know the difference between hiatus and disbanding. I’m always going to listen to BTS and know that they’re going to come back home. ♡
Oh I think most know what the two word really mean it's just USA media who don't appear to know what the two words mean or pretend to believe they mean the same thing so they can sell News. Either that or they are just uneducated idiots.
Yes the best moment is "Yet To Come" ❤️🦋
I also have a hard time listen ping to 1D now. I still listen to it occasionally but after finding BTS it did seem a lot more generic and not as catchy. I felt so bad about it too.
i was in the same situation;)
Me too! In fact, a One Direction tumblr account I followed started posting all these gifs of BTS and one day I was like right who are these guys I have to know and this was right before DNA comeback and I've never looked back haha
When Yoongi and Jimin were talking in the episode of Suchwita they were so eager for 2025 to arrive , Jin was so emotional when he last sang on stage The Astronaut , J-Hope at Loopalooza was like I need my brothers here , Yoongi crying at his concert cause they are 7 . Jungkook and Taehyung miss their brothers too. It’s clear they have a strong bond I feel like if celebrating the anniversary is really their way to keep being present as well! They’ll be back! 💜
I always trust what BTS members share with us, so I always knew this "hiatus" was not equivalent to what occurred with One Direction. Although I was never attuned to what was happening with that group, this video essay highlights a lot for me that makes me feel some empathy for them (but especially for their fans); the group's origins and experiences are not at all the same as BTS. The clear difference in the characteristics of their leadership and collectivistic work culture can't be dismissed either. Thank you for another informative video essay!
thank you so much for your support💜💜 bts has such a unique story, they are like no other group
@@boracitymagazine I've felt for the last five years that BTS X ARMY is a once-in-a-lifetime phenomenon. It's incredible how your video essays highlight a new perspective every time. Thus, support for your amazing channel comes easily!
the way that 1D tainted the word hiatus isn’t even something that I KNEW about until the morning of the festa dinner 😭 as someone who never really payed attention to 1D, but was a fan of other western acts who did actually come back from hiatuses, the bts break news itself didn’t impact me negatively until I saw others speaking of it from the one direction lense .. the damage 😭 another great video!!
that's so interesting! i saw some korean fans not freaking out at all because there is not a hiatus stigma as bad as in western countries🤔
@@boracitymagazine the 1D hiatus was a mess, so many high profile people were talking about it back then, and it was sad how slowly we realized they weren't coming back, it felt like the worst betrayal ever. I was young back then and I felt so stupid when I realized they lied to us. The real emotional damage lol it's funny to think people who didn't follow the western pop culture weren't aware of this situation.
@@boracitymagazine yeah! it was really interesting to see. I think for me it was just that I was in my own bubble of news for so long, and was generally “lucky” With the artists I was into, I guess? When that day hit I knew media was going to twist it, but I learned where that specific mindset came from. It was like a history lesson 😭
Oh I get you! I experienced the exact same thing!
I didn't follow 1D at all, and I didn't know about the hiatus thing, but to me a hiatus generally means the band is going silent for any variety of reasons and things *will not* be the same if or when they do come back. I think I got that from Def Leppard, who had to go on hiatus several times in their stellar career, for absolutely agonizing reasons.
I honestly don't pay attention to Western media, ( with very few exceptions). If it doesn't come directly from the boys I try to avoid it because of how much it will upset me. ARMY STRONG, BTS FIGHTING! 💙💜💜💜💜💜💜🐳
Update: As of 2023 BTS has now signed it's 3rd 7 year contract (they signed it even earlier then their previous contract renewal) ensuring that they will indeed remain a group past 2025! FIGHTING!!!
its so disappointing, most news networks in the west that have reported on bts have lost my trust in them just because of all the misinformation they spread about bts. at the end of the day bts are just artists but how am i supposed to trust these same people to report on horribly serious topics when they cant get the facts right about bts.
Honestly yeah even BTS told us to trust them cuz media was the one making comments on the hiatus

I was a fan of 1D until they disbanded and announced their hiatus, and their hiatus was the reason I didn’t get into BTS until 2022. As soon as I started to like them, they announced about theirs a few weeks later. I was like.. here we go again. 💔 When I did some research and watched some of their videos, it didn’t felt like they were gone forever, they just need the hiatus considering what they have done for so long and what they have been through. They wouldn’t lie about coming back in 2025. I will definitely wait for them while I’m catching up with the things that I’ve been missing out. 💜
Why do you persist with the word hiatus? They never said they go on a hiatus and they made it clear they never said it. Yet here most if you are still using it, you all are the same as the western media, despite this lengthy video you still persist.
@@beany1944 calm down 1D fans just had flashbacks, I’m one myself but I’m Army too I can relate to this comment. We know they didn’t say hiatus but since they said going on a break and media saying the word hiatus obviously fans that are directioners and Army obviously they started to panic that’s all, if you are Direction/Army or you were a 1D fan you understand what we mean we were just scared that it will happen the same thing but BTS is different we know they will be back in 2025💜💟
@@beany1944 Stop. She was highlighting the word to emphasize her point of view...
Agree. Welcome to the fandom, btw. 💜☺️
Welcome to the ARMY fanbase
IMO, the biggest difference between 1D and BTS is that one group seems to have genuine love for each other as a family (rather than just tolerance for each other as co-workers) while the other...uh, not so much. And that love is exactly what's kept BTS together, kept them going and also what makes Army so loyal and invested in the members both individually and collectively.
Thank you, excellent description of their pause, only ARMY will understand how precious they are, and we understand that they have responsibility with their country even though is painful for us(Army) we have to support them and be with them. They promised to not leave us , and we have to believe in them and wait, and stop listening the antis..

As always a well thought out video and analysis.
My daughter loved 1D and supports their solo careers. She became an Army around 2016. When the pandemic hit, I then also fell into the BTS universe. 😂 We have traveled 3 times to see them, it was money well spent. She feels bad sometimes that I’m a bigger Army than her but she is occupied with other things, university, friends, self care and growth, as she should be. I told her she needed a “hiatus” too. 🤭 She still loves them and watches all the content, I’m just more vocal for now. These men are unique, I’ve lived a long life, loving many legendary artist. BTS is not like any other group in my lifetime. Their talent, dedication, humbleness, kindness and complete commitment to Army has never been seen before in my lifetime. Not even Elvis, The Beatles or MJ. No matter the haters, I’m a grown ass woman with a lot of life experiences and intellect, not to mention I’ve got some serious female intuition that has served me successfully for 60 yrs. 😂 BTS isn’t going anywhere except to rest, do solo and collaboration projects and fulfill their requirement in the military. Period, full stop. 😁🫶🏼🎈

bts is more than a group, they are a family 💜
Thank you. You explained this "hiatus" well. ARMYs trust what BTS says...we'll wait till they all return in 2025
The one thing I really hate is when people say if they aren't breaking up why were they crying during festa? Ending an era is sometimes sad and scary. They were also worried they would be letting down their fans. Crying does not equal breaking up and there is nothing wrong with crying either. The one thing BTS has that makes them different from most people in the industry is honesty. BTS always drop big news before the press and it usually comes directly from the members. They could've released a press statement that said we're going on a hiatus instead of discussing it during festa. They want to show fans their perspective and in this case give the fans security. It was obvious to most fans that the word hiatus isn't code for break up it was just a hiatus. The devil is in the details and unfortunately for the people who want BTS gone won't be getting their wish.
With all the solos coming out. . . . We are even more busy following 7 schedules haha
True, it like...hi we still BTS but multiply by 7 🤣 i believe ARMY will be very busy in 2023, few days in to January already with Jimin collab and soon probably his solo debut, and Yoongi, Tae, JK not to mention BTS will be feature in Pharrel William album, but probably with only 2 or 3 members participating
One thing I like about bts relationship with each other is that they still keep up with each other while doing their solo endeavors. All the support they get from each other in insta and twitter when one member releases a song is so wholesome
Yoongi literally created Suchwita just so that every member can promote their albums on his show
True. Being a directioner since 2013 nd an army since 2018, I just know that there is so much differnce in everything from their relationship with their fans to relationship among themselves. So I don't understand why the western world is even comparing them.
Preach! They have a contract, the members state that they will come back together, BigHit gave a date (and we all know how cautious BH is about statements!), and the "hiatus" is for a legitimate reason that the members can't avoid. Boom! See ya in 2025. 💜
And!! they’ve even talked about resigning with the company when this contract ends!
Yeah, I saw ppl sweating on twt after the announcement and I'm like ".... did all of you forget when JTBC broke into BH because they thought the guys were contacting lawyers because of a contract dispute, but it was actually the guys and their parents being encouraged by BH to consult other lawyers to look over the new contract before it gets signed? DID WE FORGET THE MEMES AND THE LAUGHING???" They were already negotiating a contract renewal, and re-signed EVEN BEFORE THEIR FIRST ONE EXPIRED.
@@anesidora0seneca Unfortunately some of us weren’t armys when it happened. That’s why it’s important for older armys to share more frequently these parts of bts and army’s history. When I read about it I was cracking up. It must have been so much fun those days on twt
@@rissaandnuha they already resigned
@@anikaorpa784 they resigned their 2nd contract 2 years early in 2018 which went into effect in 2020, if its a 7 year contract it doesn’t end until 2027 unless they freeze their contracts during enlistment in which case it lasts until 2029ish, but tbh idk about that i haven’t seen anything from a reputable source with it - my comment was about them signing a 3rd contract, which some members have been hinting at
It’s interesting to me too that directioners (at least the ones on twitter) are always so loud about how “oh, 1d said that too. BTS aren’t coming back” yet at the same time…they talk about how they’re so excited for a 1d reunion? Like WHAT 😭 pick a narrative.

I have never known about One Direction. But i know BTS. They have never broken a promise and the bond between the members is as real as it gets. Also, they have a very close relationship with the fans, nothing like the world has ever seen. So i believe they will be back when they say they will be.
Their hiatus had a big impact on the fans and on the company, so they wouldn’t have thrown around words casually. They are highly intelligent and know what they are doing.
They knew about the upcoming break since long before they disclosed to us. And it looks like they have it all planned out well in the future.
I also think the western media is also kind of hoping that they would take an indefinite hiatus or disband coz they clearly dont like the fact that BTS has taken over the western music industry. These “stories” that they create are just misleading.
This!! Also the reason that 1D disbanded was because they were forced to be in a group despite wanting to be solo artists but all of the members who were young and vulnerable at the time of formation probably didnt see any other choice in being part of the music industry other than the opportunity to join the group. With bts its incredibly different. We have clips from before their debut that proved that they did truly care about being in bts and working as a group, we have documentaries of their struggles during their tour and how they were able to resolve their issues in the end, even stories from content they've recorded that the members themselves have decided to share with us, the members of bts genuinely want to be in a group and love where they are and it isnt hard to see. 1d was in a completely different situation where they didnt want to be in a group and were unhappy with where they were cause it was never something they wanted from the start. the two groups cant even be compared when we talk about a future disbandment.
Oh yes I was forgetting to factor in the jealousy issue eg the fact that the USA especially don't like that BTS are a Korean 'Kpop/boy band' that's walking all over the USA music industry. I think racism also comes into it.
Exactly....they realllyyyyy want them to disband....😂👏🏻... ...... they truly don't want them to succeed.... but...TOO BAD it's already the case 😌💜 BTS humbleness and passion for music made them winning in the music industry 💜 they have army the strongest fandom ever...and they have THEM ...🤴🏻🤴🏻🤴🏻🤴🏻🤴🏻🤴🏻🤴🏻
I was a Directioner in 2015 and I still remember the betrayal I felt when I realized they would never be getting back together (and that being in 1D was a bad experience for them all). I think many Armys remember this too and so we were of course heartbroken at history repeating itself.
But you made some really good points in this video - besides the contract, the fact that K-Pop groups would just disband instead of going on a hiatus is also really convincing. And Super Junior, Shinee and Big Bang still make music, don't they? A good bond between the members and having input in the music makes the members want to stay. And I don't know any group that gets along better than BTS, as well as having a lot of creative freedom.
Listening to the new music they're currently releasing, I also understand why they want to do solo projects at the moment. They are 7 very different people with very different music tastes and if you're making BTS music you kind of have to put your own taste aside to create something that fits all members. Now they can let their own taste and strengths influence the music (even more so than as a group).
I really hope that when they get back together, they'll perform some of their solo stuff as a group (like they did with daechwita). I get teary eyed just thinking about it 😂 I can't wait till 2025.
Good post!🙂👏🏻
Ikr, imagine them performing Arson and Wild Flower with all the members ?
ABSOLUTE HEAVEN
I learned in the beginning of being a BTS fan when they say they are going on vacation it doesn't mean they are leaving or not checking in with ARMY. I remember 2 weeks into a so called vacation we got notice of an album drop. There are times I need sleep and they want to play.
@@Hotshortie lmaooo thats so them like they will be like "yeah nothing is coming up no album is coming soon sorry amiiii you will have to wait a little bit more yeah, then you will listen to the music i have been preparing for you" and boom a few weeks later we r having a yoongi countdown for D-2 that we didnt even know for sure if it was him or JK right until the time that the mixtape dropped😭😭 they love to play too much and have our heads spinning
@@user-vv7hc7kb5o I remember thinking I was going to get some sleep, after they told us they were going on vacation. Seriously, I thought i'd be getting a whole night, without interruptions. I thought would not be getting any alerts in the middle of the night. LOL BOOM! within 2 weeks my phone was blowing up in the middle of the night. That's why I wasn't freaking when Namjoon said they were taking time off/Hiatus because BTS doesn't understand what time off is. They've been working long hours since their debut. The Devil works hard but BTS works harder.
Now they are still releasing solo yet they are on hiatus 😂😂😂😂 power of BTS.
As someone who was a 1D fan from 2012 I was extremely heartbroken when they just never came back but as a new ARMY i have no doubt of the love the group has for their fans and that they wouldn't make the promise unless it was true. I am so excited to support them individually and together once they return. Cheers to my first year in ARMY and to learning korean for their future concerts 🤍
I remember that on the same day people were screaming "BTS were basically disbanding under the hiatus excuse" there were also pictures of Hobi and Jimin completely unbothered at a football match, that's when I realised people were just overreacting
Even if BTS didn't come back, they made a body of work of such quantity and quality and left an absolutely beautiful, golden impression on every single ARMY...which is why their return will be glorious.
Remember when taehyung suggest changes to the weverse platform, and it was immediately implemented? How can people think they have no control.
The fact that compare 1D vs BTS relationship is actually CRIME you can't imagine 1D member take care their members like BTS does. They're live together, go to school together, some member cooking for other members after they come back home, take care when someone sick or sad - they're truly family.
It is a matter of listening to the latest BTS songs to draw a conclusion, the lyrics literally say 'I'll be with you
For the rest of my life'
'You and I, best moment is yet to come'
A video of Jin has just been uploaded to BANGTANTV, he left us recorded videos.
he says he will be back soon,
ARMY, what we have with BTS is forever.
Thank you very much for the video, you are the best as always💜
Thank you so much for providing such a CLEAR explanation as to why BTS is definitely NOT like One Direction. I have heard way too many times over the past months that BTS is JUST like One Direction and they won't be getting back together 🙄BTS already said that it was NOT a hiatus but of course the media had to twist their words and haters and people who don't know BTS just assume the worst. Here's to 2025 💜
people comparing bts to 1d makes genuinely zero sense, if these journalists and news broadcast companies spent even the slightest amount of time looking into either of the groups in any capacity they'd see it immediately but they just never seem to care when it comes to bts 😞
@@angelelelelalalalalelae EXACTLY. They have said time and time again that BTS is BTS. Stop comparing them to other groups
You forget to include that they are shareholders of the company…
I think everyone needs to see/hear this. Thank you. I believe in BTS and trust them %10000.
BTS always kept their promises.. that’s all I can say.. if they said that they will come back as a group they will come back. I really miss them but I’m patient.. ❤❤
I think the most reassuring thing that I have seen that truly convinces me that they will stay together is the fact that they are still hanging out with each other all the time and supporting each other's projects--going to each other's concerts, working on tracks together, doing dance challenges together, going to see concerts together, doing lives together, having members on their own talk shows, even going to fashion shows together. They got together to send off both Jin and J-hope to the military and I know they will do the same for each member when the time comes. They are friends and brothers on and off camera and genuinely enjoy being together. They don't need to be doing any of that if they were just contractually obligated to stay together, but they CHOOSE to spend time and do things together.
I just don’t listen to anybody else’s speculations because these boys asked us to trust them and that’s what I do
just here to say 1D literally hate each other, meanwhile bts have MATCHING TATTOOS 😭 we're not the same.
literally 😭
I was about to say 1D has matching tattoos and then realized only Harry and Louis have them. They(all of them) only have an ugly hidden "x" Which stands for "x Factor"
this is my new favorite channel FR.
it makes me so angry when they say bts is breaking up, the relationship between bts and army is different from the one between one direction and directioners
12:09 a big difference is that all bts members worked hard to be in a group, 1d members joined talent show as soloists and were put together in a group
i think its also important to point out that from what i remember 1D members didnt do solo stuff while being together. BTS members have made few solo mixtapes (which are basicaly albums) during the years before the hiatus so its not sth new
BTS is a transparent group🥴, they're not afraid to express their true colors and emotions.
“It’s been more than 8 years” 🤣😭🤣
They even got stocks of their company!! Though it might be a small amount, it shows how much they are appreciated!!
I was never a fan of one direction. just like they said, they were generic, not genuine, not artistic and hated each other. I hate the way that their actions and the way they lied to the public about what was going on has seriously impacted BTS. Stop thinking BTS is one direction 2.0, because that is the most inaccurate statement ever. BTS is here for longevity, they have talked MULTIPLE TIMES about wanting to keep performing in their 30s, 40s, 50s+. They want to be forever artists, musical legends.... and I can't wait to see the look on people's faces when they come back in 2025, stronger and bigger than ever! 💜
Exactly!!! 💜
Yes and BTS are truely on hiatus from group work together. Hiatus being the correct term in English unlike a certain boy band that used the word incorrectly. D1 are English like myself so should know they were using the wrong word. I think they did know tbh but were forced by Simon Cowell to use an incorrect term.
keep one direction's name out of your mouth if you know nothing mfer
it´s because the US never know how korean groups work. and they never expect their members to live together. and the US you are allowed privacy so they would just think like any other people that it´s between them not the fans. but BTS did something unique even for kpop groups. they interacted with fans even more than other groups. and they even lived together for 13 years (suga and rm) so they know each other inside and out and that makes all of this so special and possible to be in a group.
i actually heard from a korean who had worked at a label and he says that normally group members don´t get a long. many hate each other. so that BTS do love each other despite being so different is huge. and i think Jin J-hope and RM plays a big role in that. i feel like J-hope is the glue. the thing they can´t live without. he is the light in dark days. they each bring something to be group and help make it work. but j-hope i feel s the main reason. he is not only sunshine but also a mediator between the young and older members. he is easy to love.
Are you saying one direction aren't artist, they are generic and lier?
As a former directioner (and 1d will always have a special place in my heart) 1d and bts are not the same at all. Bts have always kept their promises and they actually love each other, their fans and creating music together. They've said countless of times how they feel their best when they're together. It's healthy and good for them to explore solo work and build identities outside of the group but even they know that bts will always come first. Of course nothing is ever certain, especially to them. They've mentioned how basically nothing's ever gone the way they intended it to go, but it always works out in the end. They keep reassuring us every step of the way that they will come back and armys have zero reason to doubt that. The only way I could see them "breaking" the promise is because of the military since it is a challenging period. I wouldn't even call it breaking the promise because of course their well being comes before anything else. But as Namjoon said as long as they come back from the military healthy and safe everything will be alright. And I completely trust them, the bond they have with each other and armys is something you have to experience yourself or you won't understand it. We will gladly wait no matter how long.
Edit: also if something did happen that would mean the end of bts they would never leave us hanging like 1d did. They would do a one last concert, one last live, one last gathering. They'd never betray us that's how different 1d and bts are. Not comparable at all.
I just want a concert in 2025 and hear their solo songs. Astronaut, Arson/More, Wildflower and Dreamers.etc
Siri, define hiatus. 😄
Suga doin his broadcast thing. Jin sending messages/vlogs. Run bts still going. The shorts bangtantv is givin us. What is an hiatus again??? 😂
It's all about competition. Many anti's hope they don't come back but we all know better as armies! BTS & ARMY Borahae cus we are positive.
The bottom line is they are artists that value artistry. And they value artistry they do individually as well as the artistry they do as a group. They have said it time over time. Just a few days ago Jhope talked about how the guys met up without jin (cause he is in the military)...and is it suprising? No. It may not even be for work cause they took a 'break' partly to rest from work. They could simply be drinking and that's that. It's normal for us fans cause we have seen them since debut days with the extensive amount they share to us. BTS as a whole and individually has a always described their dislike for strict norms or labels that put you into a stereotype. They legit have songs describing the silliness and irony in such stereotypical labelling like 'boyband', 'pop artists', etc. Also Suga in his new programme as an interviewer talked about how, even if they reach a point where they can't do extensive global tours...since they all actively address their fear of the uncertainty of an artist, he said if nothing else, I would love to have a cruise with my boys and our fans. The attitude is different. And that matters.
Exactly. 1D literally said they felt like co-workers, meanwhile BTS actually call themselves "family"
@@whatisilyionlyknowipurpleyou precisely. And let's say bts is just using that word to make us fans feel comforted. Their musical goals and respect for each other as artists itself is a testament. Them being family (not just by them saying it but you can witness how they grew to be that way) just adds to the camaraderie.
Taehyung even keeps his words if he says that he'd come live the next day for 1 hour because an army asks to. And media is telling me that they are lying about hiatus?!😂
That's why Suga in their last concert said they never said the word hiatus, but those people (the media, in particular, western media) said it. Also shortly after they share with ARMY the news, RM said in his Vlive, that people are twisting their words, there were ARMYs on YT and Twitter using the word Hiatus also, JK explained they are not on a Hiatus.
You did a great job. Keep going! I have no idea about that group or any group else, but I agree that BTS will come back with us. The mf industry don't know sh*t, jst let them be. BTS & ARMY will have the last laugh and be together forever. We should TRUST ONLY BTS, don't care anyone else. Let's focus on stream, vote and support BTS as a group and each member.
you're right, we just need to focus on ourselves and the guys! thank you so much for the support💜
This is so well-researched and beautifully said. These days (or that it's more socially accepted nowadays), we take what's vaguely shown without even bothering to scratch the surface ourselves. I'm really grateful for you being on this platform and hope more people also use this as a push to do some research themselves. I look forward to BTS's projects, their solos, and group projects.
Let's get one thing straight BTS was never like 1D & will never be, PERIOD.
4:25-4:37 It’s really annoying how media tries to overdramatize things. Yes, armys were a little sad. But most were happy that we would be getting solo work. But media makes it sound like army’s thought they were leaving forever l. In a way, I feel like it’s a way for them to look down on fans because bts isn’t as “mainstream” and they see us as a bunch of obsessive teens. Media jumps to dramatized conclusions to try and gain viewers
As always, US media made things worse. Despite the contract renewal, they still screamed "BTS IS DISBANDING!" coz that will make a buzz. 😑
Man, I'm still so pissed off at people and media comparing BTS' hiatus to One Direction's, like I could fight someone rn and it's been 7 months already.
Our kings never broke promise. And solo or group we are always there for them. And we know that best from BTS are coming soon. Love you our seven kings. 💜
someone please give her a best journalist's award...that's what media supposed to do but she is doing it by always providing "true and factual" informations.
BIG SUPPORT TO THESE CHANNELS
I’m almost semi-glad that they are taking this hiatus because they can finally rest and their fans can finally have the time to catch up on all the content. I listen to their advice in Pied Pier and focus on completing an honours thesis and I come back having missed a hundred episodes of Run BTS, a dozen variety show appearances, a tour, two whole seasons of In the Soop, and three AMA wins.
Honestly this ^ Like I had to focus on my health and my degree and my work and now I finally have the chance to catch up with everything and give it the proper time and energy it deserves, like I even missed out on listening to the rest of several albums because I was so busy focussing on my damn degree that I didn't have time for anything else, now it's done and I can finally reward myself with that sweet sweet BTS content lol
Anyone who listened to Astronaut by Jin will know BTS are coming back
This is both comforting and maddening. Comforting because we know we can trust BTS but maddening because of stupid media clout chasers.
you have my huge respect. You said so well. let's welcome our boys in 2025 by supporting them with all of our hearts💜💜💜💜
BTS has always been transparent with ARMY, always kept their promises, and asked us to continue to trust them. I am not worried about them keeping their word, and I will wait patiently for them to be ready to perform for us as a group again💜
The values of BTS where they built their foundation since the beginning is unshakeable. To Armys, we don't rely news or info about BTS from media. We just don't. We wait for an official statement from the artist themselves or from HYBE. Media thinks they are helpful towards BTS by mentioning them. It's the other way around. Mentioning BTS for clout. Not all, of course but nevertheless, we just don't rely on them. BTS can put media in their rightful places with an honest and short statement without being disrespectful but can leave big impact on public. Armys will be behind them all the time.
I remember when they announced hiatus my non army friends were like are you gonna cry or die for them and i was like calm down they're gonna return and there doing great as solo artists
Even though I had only gotten into BTS in dec 2021, their news for hiatus did not initially scare me like so many others....after i discovered BTS , i also dug around what k-pop is and what are the other groups and all and one thing I noticed was that older groups or respected groups would take long breaks....release solo works, subunits and what not and would eventually come together to give a group album.
There is not a rigid group system in k-pop ..this is what I've noticed personally, so i really wasn't sad or scared about hiatus....also not following 1D could add to it as I've never had to deal with any hiatuses....so i dont really have any negative connotations attached to it.
I think BTS being a k-pop group and a global group is like being the best of both worlds....they take the best aspects of both worlds and incorporate it to themselves....like not being limited to kpop sound but also having the freedom of having solo careers with group careers like other k-pop groups
Well said! This is what I want to say! 👏👏👏
Please stop saying hiatus, JK, Suga and RM and now this YT also made it clear they are NOT on a hiatus, why do you persist? They already did group activities (concert in Busan) after their Festa dinner announcement, where Suga made it clear they never said they are on a hiatus. They also did Run BTS as a GROUP.
@@beany1944 did you watch the video?..they clearly said hiatus does not mean a break....it means just a temporary pause from the group activity....it's explained why BTS had to go the extra mile to explain that it's not 'hiatus" as what the media has made it out to be....hiatus was never the wrong word but the context that media put into hiatus is wrong...that's the whole video about?
Moreover i get where you're coming from and i apologize if you're offended...but if used in literal sense hiatus is actually literally correct but just because of media adding negative connotations to the word has it now become somewhat negative that even BTS had to use alternate but synonyms words.
Our BTS are different. They made promises to ARMY'S and they'll complete their promise. YTC was not just a song but a promise.
BTS ot7 will be back soon and keep going on and on as a group for the longest time with bop and chart topping musics.
I have never doubted them, i know how much these men love their fans and appreciate them, i was so happy that they were able to express themselves and tell how exhausted they really are to armies, and at the same time i feel bad that they were keeping themselves so pressurized for the sake of armies. They are not like other kpop groups they each have their own passion towards music and i don't think they will stop anytime soon..
how do people not get they have MANDATORY military service and they don't wanna release music as BTS unless it's ALL 7 of them together
These two bands are so different from one another that it's actually just unnecessary to compare them in any way. As well as BTS making their own way when it comes to "K-Pop": their style has always been different to me, the passion they have for music and performance is something that they always transmit through anything they do, so down to earth, such a beautiful connection with their fanbase/supporters. The fact that they are bringing this new content as soloists but still manage to bring other activities as a group (even though they're supposed to be on a break) just proves how dedicated and truthful they are to this whole BTS journey. Thank you so much for making this video, you couldn't have explained it better
non-army's opinion doesn't matter as long as the army's are one for bts. we had already fought hard for them and we will continue fighting for as long as we can.
You got to give it to BTS and Hybe, they really mapped everything out so well for us. Nothing came as a shock and noone was at all angry because we all saw it coming from the foundations they laid for us. Their approach has been so thoughtful and genuine. Chapter 2 has been so amazing, and I'm so happy that the boys are able to shine, explore and show more of who they are as artists.
Another thing to keep in mind is that when the 1D members auditioned for X Factor, they did so intending to become SOLO artists, but then were offered the opportunity to continue on as a group or be eliminated. They each had to make the decision to join the band in a very short period of time. They never auditioned with the intent of becoming part of a group. The same can be said of Fifth Harmony. Now that doesn't necessarily mean that a group won't stay together if they're put together like that (Little Mix kept going for a good while before Jesy left and they went on an "indefinite hiatus"), but it does affect a group dynamic when you never really wanted to be a part of a group in the first place or you had to sort of accept being part of a group as a WAY to get to a solo career.
With the exception of RM & SUGA, all the members auditioned to be a part of a GROUP. And even with the first two, RM when under pressure (very early on in their career btw) has always chosen the group and SUGA has reiterated time and time again how much being a part of BTS is important to him and how he wants to stay with the group until they are old and grey, same with the rest of the members. And they've worked hard for 10 years to maintain a cohesive and beautiful group relationship and be intentional with maintaining healthy dynamics between the seven of them. Even the decision to take a break (despite it being in part because of the military), is a way for them to stay together for a long time. These guys are dedicated to remaining together as a group regardless of what format that takes from now on (like you said most likely a group album every two/three years and a major tour, sprinkled with collabs, rather than two albums twice a year).
Now this doesn't mean that they don't get burned out or that they each don't have solo aspirations, of course they do. And we see how beneficial this chapter 2 season has been for the first two that released projects. Both j-hope and RM were able to really express themselves as individual artists and you can see how happy and fulfilled it made them. Like RM has said time and time again, now its about reaching more of a balance between group activities and solo aspirations but never to let go of the group.
RM said that the future can't be predicted, of course, but that they're intention is always to come back and they've sprinkled enough reassurances and evidence everywhere so we can be sure of that: jungkook's live, rm's note after all the media drama around hiatus, their entire yet to come busan concert and them asking us to trust them, and all the promotional/marketing language they use like you said (x member OF BTS), and the various statements released by the label and their legal representatives.
So let all the people assume that they're exactly like one direction, ARMYs know what's up and that's what matters. and when BTS comes back and. breaks all the records again, we'll prove everybody wrong and it will feel awesome! In the meantime, we support them in their solo endeavours the same way we would support them as a group. and in 2025, we'll be here to welcome them back.
Thanks again for such a great video!
the fact they are still together and hangout every now and then.
promote each other and many stuff
When RM said trust us 💜 I have faith in his words. BTS is the only artist I believe in when they say they will be back. I AM FOREVER ARMY💜💜💜💜🇺🇸🤟💜💜💜
Thank you for this! I was a directioner for 6 years!! It was SO hard to realize that we were literally lied to. Everything that we thought was real, ended up being the opposite. I will never forget when I attended one of their concerts and I even camped outside the stadium 3 days before the actual day to be in front row… I was so disappointed, they had ZERO chemistry in the scenario, only Harry and Niall seemed happy. It was before Zayn left the band, and it broke my heart to see that they didn’t like each other as much as I thought. It was confirmed after they went solo… and they never returned… I promised myself to never like any other group because that was so sad. But then in 2020, I discovered BTS… and the rest was history, they truly changed my life. I was able to see how little appreciation and love we received from 1D and how different BTS was.
I could see REAL friendship, real gratitude towards their fans and passion for their music. It was like opening my eyes and realizing how a REAL group should be. That’s why I understood that they were not going on the same “hiatus” as 1D. But no one else seemed to understand it, and it’s because they don’t know that they are more than a famous boy band. This explained everything beautifully!!
I hope many people see this and realize why BTS is different and why they are on the top even with racist people and speaking a whole different language.
I’m so thankful to BTS! They are the definition of GREAT LOOKS and BEAUTIFUL and HUMBLE hearts full of passion.
I’ll be here waiting for them. 💜
Well said 💜
Yes, the 1D and BTS are entirely different. I was sad about the hiatus news but not because I ever thought it would mean disbandment but because I’m greedy. 😅 In the long run, it’s reassuring that the members are focusing on longevity.
I feel confident saying that the BTS members will always be in one another's life. They are a found family, not just bandmates. We have seen in recent Bangtan Bombs or solo content where they say I miss the members or I wish they were here. Hobi said Jin frickin called him from the military base in his recent live. BTS may retire some day but that bond they share will never go away. If people did just a little research they would see the difference between the groups.
Funny thing is I've been an ex directioner before I became an ARMY but when the boys announced their hiatus I never once compared it to 1D bcz I didn't even think about 1D anymore, my world was consumed with BTS and I trust them beyond belief, I trust them more than my own self. I only recalled all these incidents when I saw them online when the media was talking about it which made me go 'ohh.. right that had happened as well' and moved along my day bcz my trust in BTS goes beyond what anyone says about them, unless they say so themselves I don't spare a look at anything else including articles or whatever. When I was a baby ARMY I used to be scared of this day coming when they'd be on 'hiatus' or enlisting in military but being with them for so long, I know they'll keep their promise regardless of their contracts 💜🥂
When Bts did their festa and announced that they are going to focus on their individual projects it was like a sit down talk just like you tell your family what you really want right!! The army's understood it really well . The media people are blame here definitely and it is fair to have your solo albums because army's will get to see their new side and songs of how lonely they feel and things that the member happy etc if you know you know
I was going to my Louis Tomlinson concert, literally in the car on my way and that’s when the festa video came out and I couldn’t stop crying and screaming. Just looking at the word “hiatus” again and going to Lou’s SOLO concert was heartbreaking.
I didn’t know much about kpop at that point because I just started staning bts at the beginning of the year so I was so sad ab them “pulling a 1D” I thought how ironic. But then I calmed down, now that I’m going into a year of being with them you can CLEARLY see the HUGE difference between bts and 1D not talking about them being from dif music industries but how they are towards each other they love each other for real and so much. And another thing you can see is how much they LOVE the army, everything they do for us is mind blowing and NOTHING absolutely nothing compared to what 1D did. And I was a huge fan and thought they “loved the fans” but not really. When u discover bts and what they are you see all the difference that existed in the relationship that 1D had with each other and the fans.
Even in the music making, bts has been together and successful for so long because they were allowed in these years to explore the things they like, doing solo songs if they felt like it,etc.
Bts are coming back and I’m so excited to be part of their new chapter now as them finding out themselves as solo artists and in 2025 when they come back together.
BTS is a group that I fully trust to come back. ARMY has to support them because they have a duty to their country and we have to believe in them. They've never broken a promise to ARMY, they've trusted us before and shown us their vulnerable sides, now we will trust them. They love and sincerity BTS has shown us through camera is unmatched to anything I've ever seen from any artist. Great video!
As someone who came from pop punk, I listened to My Chemical Romance, who hadn’t been seen since 2013, and Fall Out Boy, who had a year long hiatus themselves at a point. I listened to the same albums over and over. Since becoming ARMY, I have been fed content nonstop, which was something I previously had to deep dive for. I trust in BTS because I have faith and trust in them, and I’m not concerned about them slowing down because it’s what I am used to from previous music. BTS have been nothing but wholly honest with us, and I think it’d be a major disservice to them to ignore that.
I read a comment saying " Maybe they're disbanding because they want to get married and Kpop doesn't allow that" wtf, do you think Army would hate one of the guys because he got married? That's what you think about Army ? They have to do the Military Service, is that so difficult to understand?
The thing is kpop does allow that, I mean yes there’s always some crazy fans that get upset but that’s always the case a lot of different idols are married and some have children and they are still fine, like Jimin having a collab with Taeyang soon amd Taeyang has been married for years. People seem to make kpop idols seem way more controlled than they are, especially nowadays it’s more normal for idols to date, get married and have a family and not be shunned for it.
Thank you i was so tired of explaining it especially in tiktok where even armys call bts liars and seem to want bts to disband just to say i told you so…. Bts are like family tgey say they want to make music together in their 50s too they often voice their thoughts about it but feels like no one listens
Tik tok 'armys' are not ARMYs
That's why BTS is so loved by ARMY bcs they're honest & sincere. BTS will be back in 2025. BTS 💜ARMY 💜FOREVER 💜
