Yinye Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 (edited) Yes I saw the TIME magazine failure discussions on Twitter and I am not surprised. I thought it was fake news seriously when I saw that horrific cover. They really thought that Army are just mindless fans that will spend money for anything BTS. I think the situation is that TIME subcontracted Meredith, who are clueless re BTS and KPOP. They were very sloppy! The print media situation in the US is often for the people with agenda or $$ and very often hire people who aren’t qualified to write about specialized topics plus the discriminatory and unfair tone to people of color or those coming from elsewhere that defairs norms. I see it all the time across many topics. This is why there’s so much misinformation, fake news and confusion. Like we all knew, US and Western media coverage (except rare few ones) always try to depict BTS in a way that ties them to negative aspects of KPOP industry or massively downplay their talent as musicians and artists and their incredible impact and achievements. I see plenty of Army giving good and constructive feedback to TIME magazine - 11K+ of people saying that they won’t be buying and that they are disappointed with it. That was very satisfying to read. I put the thread here so you can see. If anything - TIME and Meredith should be sooooooo embarrassed for releasing low quality, error filled work.

With #BTS it can be anything. Some of us always say that they have a two year advanced content ... just look at their Bangtan Bomb. There are still many content that we haven't seen and they keep making content. Similar to MARVEL Universe - we have BU -- and some even said the possibility of this connected to the other group Universe too - that is one theory. The other theory is ... As the E- word... when the time comes they will inform us and we are still going to be busy ARMYing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yinye Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 There is a Billboard Poll about boy bands and we are in 2nd place - let’s vote! parallel world would be so cool. I am totally fine with their upcoming E when it comes - we’ll still have so much content to keep us entertained. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have missed all of you too. I´m also happy to that the forum is back @stroppyse @YongZura⁷@stella77 with the the smeraldo blog posting again do you think we will go back to the HYYH era and thus we might get highlight reel again? With namjoon teasing about the new album so soon, I think it will happen sooner then in october. They also have this performance in september. They might debut the new title track there. What do you think? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long time no see....... missing everyone... Thank you @stella77 for all the info. As for the BB one, hmmm... I personally participate in the #MTVHottest. @Sarang21 I'm one of those who appreciate all the theorists and enjoy seeing so many clues from their content BUT will never be able to get it in the first place until it's being explained. When I got the first note I didn't even know what it was about. However, it's good if we want to compare what we found and discuss them here. *When the Forum suddenly disappeared, I was in a shock because everything was okay the day before. It was a two-restless-day for me. It also made me rethink of all the effort that ARMY before me have done in this thread. What if everything here really disappear I feel loss... p.s I'm streaming BTS songs while writing 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yinye Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 @YongZura⁷ Sorry everyone re the Billboard poll!!! yah I realized now that Billboard was baiting us and am sad and decided not to care about it any more. It was good to be reminded that we can’t trust Western media/industry. Will be more carefully but I will keep the post so that it reminds other fans to be careful... @Sarang21 I am terrible at figuring out the Smeraldo hints lol - I just read and go ???????? and just enjoy it. Just excited for new music. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But like you said..it´s a great way to creat discussions and keep the fandom engage so that some hopefully won´t do something stupid LOL I was lucky because I joined the Soompi discord server one day before the forum was gone. Do you want to join too?

Have y´all seen that forbe article about the japanese album? That article was just embarassing because of the lack of research and egocentrism through out the article. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll need to find out and refer to other ARMYs to really understand what it is really about. It seemed one of the writers who usually write +ve comment for Forbes has made a U-turn and it's a pity. 3. Glad that another journalist has already made a counter attack with facts. The real world is BIG. Thanks @Sarang21 This is the thread from the journalist that gave the fact. Credit to the owner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yinye Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Ah I didn’t see the Forbes article misrepresenting MOTSTJ - such a lazy and out of context representation of information. MOTSTJ is considered a huge success for Japan. I do love Brian for always doing justice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I woke up just now and still calming my nerve ... Good that we're able to hear them singing in multiple language and we know they'll "slay" it as usual plus with ARMYs support from all over the world. Some even said they're setting up a Trap. It was an exhausting day for me that I missed the news, their selcas, their radio on V-live and also the drama It's Ok Not To Be Okay on time. Glad that the forum is back so I can catch up. @backstreetboysfan Enjoy your listening, we have been enjoying their songs every day and night through various platforms. Do you have any particular song that you like?
