Fandom 50 S4 Post 5: BTS set loose on the Internet.
Mar. 18th, 2026 01:14 pmglitteryvAs part of their GQ promo, the guys sat down to do this video where they went to Twitter, Reddit, Quora, YouTube, and Wikipedia answering fans' questions.
It's a delightful, 14-min video filled with Vmin VMINNING, Yoongi pouting (that he didn't get an invite to the bathhouse from Minimoni), Jin and RM complimenting each other down, Jungkook being THE GenZ-er in the group, and Hobi being his sunshine-y self.
One of the funny things was me realizing that I knew or followed some of the ppl on Twitter whose questions were answered by the Tannies.
Another thing was finding out that the mods of the reddit BTS went to kicked that account out of that specific reddit because they thought it was someone impersonating as the Tannies.
What I liked the most was seeing the bond and simpatico between all 7. It's v., v. clear they missed the hell out of each other while in the military and Chapter 2.
*I'm v. ??? that Jimin is calling Arirang Era Chapter 2 since V mentioned the enlistment era (in his ep of Suchwita) and RM has done so too (several times). It's confusing since, the general understanding is that enlistment era = Chapter 2, but what do we know? 😜

Fandom 50 S4 Post 4: BTS as a brand.
Mar. 17th, 2026 12:27 pmglitteryvLet me start with the obvious: the title IS hella clickbait-y (which I sort of get cuz it works in making ARMYs, casuals, locals, AND antis check the video out). However, let me "spoil" that the YouTuber answers the question almost as soon as the video begins with a resounding "yes, they are!"
ANYHOO, this is a 12-min video in which the YTuber breaks down what makes BTS so popular from a branding perspective. I appreciated the even tone (IHNI if they're an ARMY or casual, but it's pretty easy to tell that they're not an anti either) from beginning to end. There was what, to some, might feel like an interesting comparison: at some points, the video compares BTS' fame and fandom with Taylor Swift's. The truth of the matter is that they're peers, but I digress.
Another thing I liked was the observation abt how BTS' upcoming comeback is shifting things. It's gonna be v. interesting to see if the rest of the Kpop agencies and artists will follow OR if they'll stick with the usual patters. FTR, neither approach is better than the other (and, ofc, finances play a huge factor too.) But there we are.
ONE slight correction: toward the end, the YouTuber mentions that BTS has "changed their logo" as part of their comeback. This is 100% incorrect. What they're talking abt is the three red circles that turned out to be part of the album's cover + the marketing logo. It was designed by Jungkook.

Fandom 50 S4 Post 3: An interesting crossover . . .
Mar. 16th, 2026 12:24 pmglitteryvEvery so often, Lindsey Buckingham (of Fleetwood Mac's fame) Leelee (his daughter) post reactions to different artists. Last November, they reacted to BTS' "Boy With Luv (featuring Halsey)" because of a small-yet-significant connection between Lindsey and BTS.
Although this is a v. mellow reaction, it's a positive one. I got a kick out of watching it, so here I am sharing it with y'all!

Fandom 50 S4 Post 2: who is BTS?
Mar. 15th, 2026 12:46 pmglitteryvAlthough they literally are THE world's biggest band right now, there might be some who have 0 idea as to who BTS actually are. Given that this Friday's comeback (OMG, IT'S SOOOOOOOOO SOON!!!ASLDKFJL;ASKDFJLASK;DFJLASD;K) kicks off what I can imagine will be a yearlong rollout on every type of media ACROSS THE ENTIRE PLANET, some folks might be curious abt the group and their music. However, with a 13-year discography + content AND given ARMY's . . . erm . . . intense enthusiasm, it's normal that there will be wariness from some ppl.
This 18-min video from Boracity Magazine manages to present a lot of info of the group AND the individual members PLUS also offer samples of their group and solo music. The content is slightly outdated since the video is from Dec. 2024. HOWEVER, it's comprehensive AND accessible enough to give folks a place to start their Borahae journey from.
ENJOY!
