it is laundering money. taking money from illegitimate sources (fans outside the us) and converting them into dollars to buy the albums. it may seem sinister because we associate money laundering with criminals but it basically is what it is. they won't get arrested or anything i think. although it is unethical.
Does it affect btees at all? They know the fans are doing this. Why else are they selling multiple copies of the same song in their store? I can only buy one copy of a song on Apple, but they'll sell 4? Their group's success depends on stuff like this. What happened to liking a song and buying it? They're number one but no one's heard the song before. It's robbing legitimate artists. Meg collaborated with them trying to get that top position on billboard, and they barely promoted her version. Focus is on Coldplay now, and their collaboration.

Yes that pushed me off the way they ignored megan on twitter while she promoted the shit outta that crappy song
They did a tiktok video with the remix but it cut off right at her rap verse

Now with c0ldplay,who are white,they are gonna be acting like the best of friends and interacting with them all over Twitter while megan was given zero acknowledgement except for j!mins one impersonal tweet

I really hope that songs bombs like permission to dance did in the west

Also I noticed how happy vee is when interacting with chr!$ m@rtin and that boy has a daddy link cuz nothing excites him like a man at least 20 years his senior

While not to this extent, many artists and their fans manipulate charts. Shouldn't affect them much. And billboard did ask them about the manipulation and they basically said that so many American artists do this, so why are they picking on a kpop group lol
That's terrible but true. Everyone does it. Part of it is, and I hate saying anything to defend btees, xenophobia. Outsiders taking advantage of a system rubs people the wrong way. That's disrespectful and doesn't make them friends. Most artists figured out there's few advantages and a lot of negatives when they collaborate with btees or or other kpop artists. The music and movies industries are all about what can you do for me. Coming into that and not treating it the same way and with the same respect and SK is what messes them up.

Future sugar daddy? He can't stand Western artists and promoting. How is he benefiting? This could give them a Hollywood connection. That's G0op's ex-husband. Her mom is Hollywood famous too.

500M? For him lying in bed? Wtf! And people actually enjoyed it !

Yeah he was just making faces at the camera and I think it got like 502m views. He is legit the only reason people got into bts cos they found him hot lol. No wonder he seems so pissed and over it now, bigshit never let him do any solo endorsements and kept him in the back for everything despite him being the one that got the locals interested cos of his face.

Jkayy never seems into this disgusting crap j!mn always pulls
He just takes it and j!mn never does this with any other member

This fan service shipping shit is gross and deplorable yet army always calls them innocent Angel's

Jkayy used to hit and push them away from him when he was younger and they all were super touchy feely with him but since they have gotten older only j!mn still does this suspect nasty shit

He is so desperate for attention,that's why jkayy is always his target-to keep attention on him since jkayy is the obvious star of the group and obviously the most popular and obviously the company's favorite

Not excusing jkayy cuz he still goes along with it but jim!n just goes too far

Just making these fans even more delusional with their ships

Tae is falling off in popularity cos his looks are also very slowly falling off, and he just looks like he wants to be dead on his best days tbf. Remember when he did that vlive of him just lying in bed and it got like 500 Mill views. His fangirls are nuts.
Tae akgaes are the worst. He used to be funny, interesting and had more expressions than the sad or sexy look.

They really think he wrote that?! British seem to go crazy over this stuff. B*s did some British slang at their Wembley concert and they went nuts. Majority of them come off as very nationalistic. Bh knows what works where I guess. I couldn't imagine them doing the same here...saying cool dude or bruh...that would be freaking hilarious tho

They were asked about their favorite slang in an interview. JK said his favorite word was brekky. Bh artists use a lot of American and black slang when they are on camera.

They are going for a #1 in the uk cuz the uk charts arent as easy to manipulate as billboard

They havent had a #1 song in the uk yet because of this

Hopefully they fail again


I'm sure that they will be serviced out while here in the states...especially the maknaes

If they go on j@mes c0rden show he will be all over j!mn I'm sure

Wow I just checked and over 500M is insane! I guess jk beating the view record with 20M must be in live views. I bet that t*e one is the most views in total from b*s. Anyway, I agree with you. Kpop is so shallow and I think t*e had a really bad hair transplant..it's too low and harsh of a hairline. I mention this because it drastically changed his looks and face shape. Plus, he grew up and gained some weight. He no longer looks like an androgynous bishounen anime character.

He also used to be so full of life and now he just looks dead inside. He's phoning it in and it shows.
