ARMY MOST PRECIOUS TO US: BTS
‘We miss our fans’, says the K-pop group gets candid about the starting point of BT their bond with ARMY and visiting Indi
First thing we do is to celebrate with ARMY, our fans. When we topped the Hot 100 chart for five weeks in a row, we did a livestream to celebrate it with our fans.
When we debuted, our dream was to have our own concert. But thanks to the love and support we received from ARMY, we’re where we are today. So, we want to give back that love through great music. That’s exactly what artistes loved by so many people should do, no matter whether it’s called a role or responsibility.
Now when I look back at the journey, it was just us delivering music and messages that we wanted to, and ARMY listened to them. All of this has been possible thanks to ARMY. we talk about our personal stories and touch upon various topics. For me, personally, as time goes by, delving into those emotions is getting less hard. Releasing music helps me relieve those emotions.
From the very beginning! These thoughts aren’t limited to those who live in Korea, but can be shared across regions and generations. We expressed these emotions, stories through music and performances. That brought us and ARMY closer.
It’d be untruthful to say that there’s no pressure. But as always, we will focus on what we like and can do. Then, I’m sure everything else will follow.
ARMY are the most important and precious people to us. When we create music, we think about what ARMY would like to hear and we prioritise that.
We can’t thank you enough for listening to our music. We hope the situation gets better soon. Please stay strong and we hope you get some energy from listening to our music!
Doxing and trolling might not be unfamiliar to millennials, but netizens today are exposed to the new phenomenon of cancel culture too — a thing that overruns social media. Several public figures have been and continue to be at the receiving end of this infamous trend, which makes for a severe form of virtual public outrage and direct boycotting.
Ask content creator and actor Prajakta Koli about it and she says she has always looked at “the internet as a yin-yang situation”. When prodded, she elaborates, “The internet has definitely given a voice to everybody, which is great. People can now loudly choose what they like and what they don’t. But, you can never really choose one side. You can’t fully love or hate the internet; it’s customisable to one’s social media usage.”
