Yes, he definitely said "Help us" several times.

Ok I understand that bt$ were chosen but why them? What makes the special? I see no difference between them and other kpop groups. Almost all kpop boy/girl groups have symbolism in their music videos and lyrics, even hidden messages when their music is reversed. So why bt$? Is it their destiny to be this big and maybe even bigger?

Personally I believe their fandom was the main reason why the ellite chose them. Because we know BTS have lyrics talking about depression and sadness and other kpop groups rarely touch those subjects, BTS does and that's why a lot of their fans feel closer to them because almost all of them suffer from depression and they feel their idols are going through the same thing

It's not normal for a music company to ask the fans if they suffer depression but Bighit did it because this is the kind of audience they want. People with depression are more vulnerable and it's easier for the ellite to control them and to create a familiarity and codependency with their idols, That''s why we see BTS fans saying this group is their reason to live, because they love BTS like family and want to give them everything
This is the kind of mentallity the ellite wants so BTS is the perfect product for them to sell

Why does it sound beautiful to me.. .. And yes they say that a lot in their backwards versions.. But again the confusion is still there.. Whom they are asking it from .. The help ... From evil or from good.. Do they want more or do they want to leave... I can't find the answer to this question yet

Ugh, this interview and almost anything involving ARMYs is so cringey. They can't even let the boys breathe without obnoxiously screaming and you could tell that Ellen was annoyed and done with them. They must get embarrassed by them lol



Lol I'll never believe that boy's straight. If anything, I think he just loves everyone.

Exactly what I was thinking they kept screaming every second it was really annoying it was definitely too much

Okay am I the only who hears tae saying “I’m evil” at 0: 46 - 0: 48

Yes heard it too.. And it sounds like an arabic song in backwards

I can see this being the reason.
Too, they oversaturate their fans with so much content to the point fans think they know them. I don't know any other kpop group that has a plethora of shows for fans to watch like BH offers.

I used to scoff at Bang thinking he has created this amazing, successful formula needed to make a group appeal to fans. Now, I get it.

(I always found it strange for them to come up with that survey. Didn't see the purpose of it. Nothing but a marketing strategy. )

True I remember when they released that survey I answered it they ask how the fans were feeling? what do u like bts the most? for example their friendship. Have they been to your country for a concert if no list where you're from? I think that helped the countries for this year's world tour they said they wanted to go wherever the fans are, but yeah through all my years listening this was my first survey given by an artist company I like it was strange.

Totally agree. Do you think this was the plan from day 1 since their debut song was about the struggles of school/ the future or as they gained popularity the company/they noticed and took it a step further w/the survey and lyrics in the following albums? Also in this case I think one reason for the lyrics of this album other than wanting to make ‘real’ music.

Further proves my point that all the media cares about is their fandom, not them nor their music.
I wish BTS would issue a statement to get their fans in check but I think even they're scared of ARMYs turning on them lol

 

[MochiAmour]

And I really thought he just liked the purple ribbon project

Wow, good catch! Do you think he's mocking the fans?

 

[Christina D.]

so people already know about the Eyes Wide Shut references -.-

Wow, there’s also proof that 1% of armys on twt aren’t blind

Also I lost the post that talked about Jin’s pants in the Airplane pt 2 perf today but to address that, I mean it shows duality again whether he knows it or not bc one pant leg is white and the other is black (lol cow vibes).

I'm torn between the two too. Would love to see what others think.

Namjoon mentioned this fan project in so many American interviews, it seems they were sincere about it. And Ta3 even said "I purple you" on v live afterparty, so I thought they appreciated it. Maybe it was their director giving them these cues?

Well tae was the one that made that whole "I purple u or I purple heart you'' up which is why armys used that colour of the protect bts by standing behind the ribbon at airports so I think he does appreciate it.

So few pages back, someone mentioned about Jin’s behavior at award ceremonies when camera was pointed at him, he’d suddenly changing his persona.
Reading from this forum about MK ultra, the torture, glitches, triggering words, I think Jin might be the one that gets the ‘extra’ torture so that he won’t rebel or do anything that can harm the group’s popularity (leaving the group etc)

And did you guys noticed how Jin is easily scared/shocked at something? Like, I wonder if it’s normal since he’s a grown up man? Maybe yes maybe not.
Because he’s the only one that’s under appreciated and always be given the tiniest part. Even Minzy from 2NE1 left the group because how YG treated her like a stepdaughter (less promoting etc).
That explains the behavior in my point of view.

I was watching that Vlive and didn't notice lol was he being funny after saying something or he just randomly did that?

 

[blissfate]

Trying to add some humor. plus i think this can be used as evidence to show jimin's not gay

Their reactions seemed forced when I watched it

Lowkey made me uncomfortable

§ugä's new tweet.
Why does it look like he wants to cry, is it only me?
(It looks almost like the smile someone does right before they cry)

He does look like he wants to cry it’s not just u

Yh there was a Twitter trend on his birthday too something along the lines of #WepurpleTaehyung and #HappyTaehyungDay and they used the Purple Heart emojis
