red velvet i’m begging (3rd gen girl group that debut a year after bts! they were named the best idol group alive by billboard in 2019 beating bts (i love my two ults) psycho, bad boy, and red flavor are their biggest hits and must watches surfin boy was their latest comeback!(this month)

jann !

please consider dividing the live streams into categories and letting us vote a day or so ahead of the live !! for example a stream for only boy groups, or only 4th gen groups, etc! whatever categories are fine but i think if we divide it up it would be much less chaotic and ppl wouldn’t be as upset with the videos that get chosen !! of course anything you choose to do is okay, just tying to help out :)

gomin

Yes!! Hopefully they can react to older groups like Big Bang 😭

I hope the live stream focuses on BTS-related content. I didn't like the last live stream because we only listened to one BTS song, so I didn't enjoy it.

suddjt

gigibirdy

Betsy

Hope we get a lot of variety 🤞

bia

we got SIX bts videos from the polls all of last week and the week prior. if they don’t do any bts this time, it’s ok. let other ppl get a chance

Totaa

I'm sorry, but I don't care about any group other than BTS, and I think the majority agrees with me—which is why most of the votes go to BTS.

Betsy

Me too! We need variety and for them to see some diverse groups and other solo artists 😫

Jo

Are the 50+ bts content on the channel not enough?😅😅

Betsy

Exactly, Jo!! It should be more than plenty 😂

mel

Freja Holmberg

Ahhh yes that could be good I was thinking somthing like Chk Chk Boom or Lalalala or even Social Path

Betsy

Me too and I want them to expand their horizon! Which groups are you hoping they pick?

Mandyyy

Yes it’s true, I hope they will react to at least one of them 🥰

Byakuya’s Spouse

Do more seventeen and the boyz..or p1harmony omg yes p1harmony is the best

Ana._.xox123

Please more Ateez, I think you guys would really like their songs Lemon Drop,Bad, and NASA. If you guys react to Straykids, their songs Venom,Freeze, and Maniac are really good. I would also recommend the group LNGSHOT,their song Saucin’ is really good. Love your videos ❤️🫶

Totaa

No never enough

I’m Maya

Rise of Bangtan ??? this will be the 2nd week without

Elmo

I don’t care about anything but BTS either, but the livestream is a throwback to their first K-pop live stream, and I think it’s a fun way for them to get a lay of the land and see who jumps out at them. From their last live they showed interest in Cortis and now have included them in polls and reacted to their content separately. And they may do that and discover other groups. They’ve shown both a preference for BTS and their amount of BTS content reflects that, but they’ve also shown their curiosity and willingness to explore some.

Lamya

Nmixx or enhypen! , and u betsy which group?

Freda

Amen🙏🏻

Freda

OMG YEEESSSSS

Betsy

Stray Kids, ATEEZ, Enhypen, TXT, Aespa, Xikers, and NCT :)

Jade

P1Harmony songs please!!

2026-09-06 16:00 I'm praying for Stray Kids- Hellevator, Divine, Social Path, Maniac, then later on, Freeze, Miroh, District 9, and maybe Double Knot. At the same time, Run It and This & That is fire. The geks need to witness the greatness🔥

Social Path hits different but they would love Chk Chk Boom for the surprise factor and I can totally see them vibing with Lalalala keke

Burgercel

NEED THEM TO LISTEN TO NCT (Perfume, superhuman, boom, whiplash, love on floor, knock on, 0 mile)

Jasmin_STAY

I need stray kids run it or this and that reaction pls. Last time you ignored all the comments about skz. Run it is soo good

Betsy

Oh goshhh that would definitely make gek history. It would be funny seeing the guys check out the neo culture world... lmao

Burgercel

Like imagine them learning about the concept or them having 23 members lmfao😭geks need to get more neo

Betsy

They would be in full "glitch mode." excuse the pun. I can see them having a full crashout hahaha. The geks would be questioning everything and even life itself 😂

BTS HOUSE OF CARDS LIVE PLS IM BEGGING🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

November2

ATTTTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZZ

Jasmin_STAY

I would really love if you guys could watch a skz concert not on live just as a regular video. They are all great people, great musicians and their songs are phenomenal, on Prime is a movie called „stray kids the dominate experience“, great movie u can see/hear a lot of different kind of songs and a little introductions of the members. If you really give it a shot I’m willing to send extra money for the movie

Betsy

AGREED Jasmine, aww I love seeing more Stray Kids fans on here. Yeah I've been asking for this for a while along with another STAY on here. They would love every minute of it and I bet they would become a fan probably afterwards lol It's so good and relatable. I loved seeing the members from a more personal and vulnerable side. It's endearing and makes them that much more lovable. Plus, they know how to put on a show. I was amazed by their sheer talent and charisma on stage. l was juggling my emotions 🤧

beannie

NMIXX PLEAAAAAAASE, CRESCENDO OR BLUE VALENTINE

Betsy

I love them too. Hehehe Neo Got My Back lol

Jasmin_STAY

Right they really know how to put on a show, and you can clearly see how much they enjoy to perform an being on stage. I love how they change some songs for the concert or how seungmin changes his voice everytime. like he sings it in a different version. i love district 9 concert version. and i also love cinema and blind spot i cry every time : ). what is your favorite song sry for any english mistakes this abstract is just me complaining so if you don´t wan to read you don´t have to i was really frustarated in the last live, a LOT of people told them they want run it but they never put them on a pull. i asked for run it and the answer they gave me was "then vote for them" I was like how the fuck do i vote for them when you never put them in a pull. sry i had to relese my frustration. i hate this voting system. can´t they just watch stuff they are intrestet in and move on i get that BTS is a very great group and they deserv all the high numbers it is just frustrating

JHOPE LOLLAPALOOZA 2022 FULL PERFORMANCE 🛐

swanblood

would love for them to react to &team and cortis 🙏

Jenn_ie

We better get some Ateez 😤

Betsy

No it's fine. Don't apologize. I didn't mind reading it. I actually enjoy long replies and messages. It feels more personable. Yes, Seungmin's voice is dynamic. I was impressed with his vocal abilities. And District 9 gets your blood pumped. It's just that song!!! Haha It really showcases their rapping skills and range. But yeah, cinema had me in tears.... Seungmin and Lee Know's voice are so lovely and soothing together. My favorites were cinema, social path, district 9, blind spot, lonely street, Stray Kids, Escape, Thunderous, etc. There's too many. I understand, I was frusturated, too. I was looking forward to them finally being on a poll. And during their DominATE Experience, all the members put their heart and soul into their performances. I was so proud of how far they've come. And yes I need some diversity and for them to explore new content. In the Kpop World, there's so much to see. It's a big ocean with a lot of depth. Whoops sorry I rambled on and made this too long lol I'm just love them a lot. Maybe it's because they are my ult :)

Betsy

For real, it's been too long...

Miyah

They need to react to girlset maybe tweak or little miss

Betsy

I'm on my knees begging too 😩

I was wondering the same thing

Sami Kim

boynextdoor or zerobaseone!!!!

d ⁷

i think they will only do livestream in this week

gm ‘777

for the next poll please add bts world tour arirang north América part 1 sketch ! 💜

SammiewiththebigT

Last time I checked this isn’t gek-bts, it’s gek-pop. Meaning they’re reacting to kpop in general and not just bts. The purpose for the live stream like last time, is to explore different groups. So you might end up with one bts video or none.

Betsy

You know what? It would be pretty cool for you guys to check out Stray Kids Domino dance practice. The choregraphy is insane and very fun to watch 🔥

SammiewiththebigT

Yall did vote last week for smthn else than rise of bangtan. Also they never confirmed it would be a weekly thing.🤷🏾‍♀️

.

jungkook times square

React to XLOV

mary pena

No post today 🥺

dani

GFRIEND MENTION!! peak suggestions

Mary

YES, the last Live was awesome 👏. I’d love for the GeK’s to watch “Eight” by IU featuring Suga, since they’ve already heard a short snippet of the song during IU’s Killing Voice, but honestly speaking, the MV + the lyrics are incredible, & it’s a really emotional & beautiful song, overall. Also, Suga has a really great verse in the song.

Mary

YES 🙌, I’d love for a reaction to ILLIT, honestly, since they’ve reacted to a song by KATSEYE & Le Sserafim, after having watched “Iconic By Mistake”, but we’re still waiting for an ILLIT reaction 🥲.

Mary

OMG, YES 🙌, I’ve been asking for reactions to SKZ for a while, now 🥲. The boys are SO talented, & I truly believe that the GeK’s would really enjoy their discography, with songs like “Maniac”, “Thunderous”, Chk Chk Boom”, which are a few of my personal favorites. But naturally, all of their songs are bangers, honestly.

Mary

I’d LOVE reactions to IU’s MV’s, especially since the GeK’s clearly also really like IU, & they’ve already heard snippets of her discography while watching her Killing Voice. But honestly, her MV’s are SO beautiful & creative, & I think they’d love it, truly.

Mary

YES 🙌, I’ve been asking for reactions to “aespa” for a while now, & I’m really hoping we’ll finally get 1-2 reactions to “aespa”, since their songs & MV’s are SO creative, truly. My personal favorites are “Drama”, “Black Mamba”, “Armageddon” & “Whiplash”. But, all of their songs are bangers, honestly speaking.

Mary

I don’t believe so, since they didn’t add a Poll or anything for this week, also, like during the weekend of July 4th, I think this LiveStream will act as a substitute for this week’s Videos.

Mary

I’m surprised that BLACKPINK hasn’t been suggested, from what I’ve seen in the comments so far, but, their earlier songs are truly incredible, with songs like “Whistle”, “Playing With Fire”, “As If It’s Your Last” & naturally, “DDU-DU DDU-DU”. They aren’t very active as a group ATM since the members are prioritizing their individual careers, but they truly have a really great discography, honestly speaking.

ItsCheeXO

spring day by BTS and it's explained video!

Hi

R.Az

Anya

Friday works better for me but I'll make it work lol Wednesday is actually better because it's tomorrow XD

Tivy

nah they aren’t being cancelled, but RM and J-hope are being called out for attending and posting at a Chris Brown concert and taking pictures with him

Tivy

any possibility of ROB too? just because it’s been a little while

Tivy

I’m so excited for the stream! I am down for any new groups, there’s so many great ones to choose from

Mandyyy

Every time I open the comments I’m always impatient to see what Anya and Besty will say 😂 It’s always a pleasure to see your reactions and support in the comments 🥰

Betsy

Aww I see haha and yes sooner is better! Because I'm full of anticipation :-)

Gabriela

MORE CORTIS PLS GEKS

Emrataaa

No, BTS aren’t “cancelled.” There’s just some controversy online right now because RM and J-Hope attended Usher’s concert, where Chris Brown appeared as a guest. They danced and sang along to some of his songs, and Chris Brown later posted a picture with them. Personally, I separate the art from the artist. Enjoying someone’s music doesn’t automatically mean you support that person, excuse their behavior, or agree with everything they’ve done. Other people are free to see it differently, but that’s how I personally approach it. And I think people also need to remember that BTS are human beings. They’re not perfect, and expecting them to live up to some flawless moral ideal is unrealistic. I can completely understand why some fans might be disappointed or uncomfortable with the situation. That’s fair. But saying you feel personally “betrayed” by them is where I think people need to take a step back. The person with the history of violence against women here is Chris Brown. Being at an Usher concert where Chris Brown happens to perform, singing or dancing to his music, or even taking a picture with him does not automatically tell us what RM and J-Hope think about his past or about violence against women. We don’t know them personally, we don’t know what they think, and we don’t know what their intentions were. So I think people should be careful about projecting beliefs or intentions onto celebrities they don’t actually know. If this genuinely changes the way you feel about them, that’s completely valid. You can stop supporting them or move on. But turning disappointment into assumptions about their morals or acting as though this proves they condone everything Chris Brown has done is a huge leap. And as for BTS being “cancelled,” that’s mostly social media making things look much bigger than they actually are. Online discourse can make it seem like the entire world has turned against someone when it’s really just the same circles arguing with each other. We’ve seen this with BTS countless times: people swear they’re done with them, that they’re cancelled, that nobody supports them anymore… and then concert tickets go on sale and suddenly everybody’s fighting for their life in the queue. So at this point, I take the whole “BTS are cancelled” discourse with a very big grain of salt.

Emrataaa

I’d also add that there are a lot of BTS antis who are taking advantage of the situation to push this narrative that BTS are suddenly “cancelled” or that they’ve been exposed as problematic. They amplify everything, so if you spend enough time on social media, you can easily get the impression that there’s some massive backlash happening when, outside of those online spaces, that’s really not the case. At some point, you have to go outside, touch grass, and remember that Twitter and TikTok are not the real world. And there’s also a lot of performative outrage involved. Some people seem more interested in proving that they’re “not delusional fans” and that they’re capable of calling out their faves than they are in actually looking at the situation with any nuance. Calling out someone isn’t automatically proof of critical thinking. Critical thinking also means knowing when criticism is justified, distinguishing facts from assumptions, and not projecting intentions or beliefs onto celebrities you don’t personally know. That’s what bothers me about a lot of this discourse. People go from “RM and J-Hope interacted with Chris Brown and enjoyed his music” to making huge claims about their morals, their beliefs, or what they supposedly condone. Those are conclusions people are choosing to draw. We have no idea what was going through their heads, and pretending otherwise isn’t accountability it’s projection. And the double standard is also interesting to me. There are plenty of major celebrities who have openly supported, praised, worked with, or maintained relationships with Chris Brown over the years Justin Bieber being one obvious example without every interaction becoming some enormous conversation about their entire moral character. But because it’s BTS, suddenly the discourse becomes ten times louder, because BTS already have a massive audience and an equally dedicated group of people waiting for an opportunity to drag them. So yes, people are allowed to be disappointed. They’re allowed to criticize them. They’re even allowed to stop supporting them if this crosses a personal boundary. But criticism and performative moral outrage are not the same thing. And again: go outside and touch some grass. Social media is not an accurate representation of the entire world. BTS are not suddenly “cancelled” because your timeline has been arguing about them for three days. They’re still BTS, they’re still massively successful, and the internet will inevitably move on to its next outrage cycle.

Emrataaa

And that’s exactly why I keep saying social media is not real life. If Chris Brown were genuinely “cancelled” in any meaningful, real-world sense, his career would reflect that. His tours still sell out, a huge part of his concert audience is made up of women, major celebrities still publicly associate with him, and he has tens of millions of monthly listeners on Spotify. Whatever people think of him morally and there are obviously very legitimate reasons to condemn his past behavior the reality is that he has not been commercially erased from mainstream culture. So there’s something strange about redirecting all of that outrage toward J-Hope and Namjoon because they went to what was originally an Usher concert, enjoyed themselves, sang and danced when Chris Brown performed, and appeared in pictures with the artists there. They didn’t even only take pictures with Chris Brown the whole context was them attending the show and interacting with the performers. You can absolutely say, “I wish they hadn’t interacted with him.” You can be disappointed. You can decide that it crosses a personal boundary for you. That’s your right. But there’s a huge difference between expressing discomfort and constructing an entire moral narrative about two people whose intentions you simply do not know. And I think Namjoon has already made his position on that kind of situation pretty clear in the past. During the controversy around him sharing a Frank Ocean song, people attributed intentions and beliefs to him that he said he simply did not have. His response was basically that he wasn’t going to apologize for an intention that wasn’t his. And I agree with that principle. An apology makes sense when you recognize that you did something wrong, or when you genuinely believe your actions caused harm that you should take responsibility for. But apologizing for a belief or intention that other people have projected onto you is different. At that point, you’re essentially being asked to validate somebody else’s interpretation of your own motives. That’s also why I don’t understand the demand for BTS to apologize here. Apologize for what, exactly? Going to an Usher concert? Singing along? Dancing? Taking pictures with performers? If someone believes those actions amount to endorsing everything Chris Brown has ever done, they’re entitled to that interpretation, but they can’t present their interpretation as an objective fact about what Namjoon or J-Hope believe. And I don’t feel the need to infantilize BTS or defend them from every criticism either. These are seven grown, extremely successful men. If they actually do something I disagree with, I’m perfectly capable of saying so. But accountability requires identifying what somebody actually did not inventing the worst possible intention behind it and then demanding that they apologize for the intention you invented. Most importantly, the original issue hasn’t magically changed: Chris Brown is the person responsible for Chris Brown’s actions. Somehow turning RM and J-Hope into the central villains of a conversation about his history completely loses the plot. And meanwhile, outside of the social-media outrage bubble, BTS are fine. Their careers are fine. The world has not stopped. Nobody needs to pretend that a few days of intense discourse on their timeline represents some universal cancellation. Sometimes the healthiest thing you can do with online discourse really is close the app, go outside, touch grass, and remember how much bigger the world is than your algorithm.

And I also really dislike this whole “we need to educate them” rhetoric. Educate them? Who exactly are you? These are grown men in their thirties. They’re not children waiting for a fandom to teach them how the world works. They have their own experiences, values, judgment and understanding of their own intentions. You can disagree with their choices, but positioning yourself as someone whose role is to “educate” another adult you don’t even personally know is incredibly patronizing. And that distinction matters: criticism is not education. As a fan, you’re completely entitled to say, “I didn’t like this,” “this disappointed me,” “I think they made the wrong choice,” or “this doesn’t align with my values.” You can explain why. You can criticize them publicly. And if something crosses a serious enough boundary for you, you can stop supporting them altogether. But that doesn’t give you some kind of authority over them. The parasocial dynamic becomes particularly obvious when people start talking as though fans are responsible for correcting, disciplining or morally educating celebrities. You’re not their parent, teacher, manager or moral guardian. You’re a consumer of their work. And the same goes for demanding apologies. Nobody is automatically owed an apology simply because they personally interpreted someone’s behavior negatively. An apology should come from someone recognizing that they did something they believe warrants one not because thousands of strangers online have collectively decided what their intentions were and are demanding that they confess to those intentions. There’s also something contradictory about saying, “Stop infantilizing BTS, they’re grown men,” and then immediately treating them like children who need ARMY to “educate” them every time they make a decision you disagree with. Pick one. They’re adults. That means giving them agency also means accepting that sometimes they will consciously make choices you wouldn’t make yourself. And they might hear your criticism, understand it perfectly well, and still disagree with you. That’s the part some people seem unwilling to accept: understanding your perspective does not create an obligation to agree with it. You can express your disappointment. You can criticize. You can withdraw your support. Those are the things you actually control. But “we need to educate these grown men until their worldview matches ours”? No. At that point, we’ve left criticism behind and entered a very strange form of parasocial entitlement.

Emrataaa

And realistically, with a fanbase as massive and global as BTS’s, they will never be able to satisfy everyone. It’s literally impossible. Whatever they do, some fans will love it and others will hate it. If they make one decision, one part of the fandom will praise them while another will be disappointed. If they make the opposite decision, the reactions will simply reverse. When you have millions of people across different countries, cultures, generations, political environments, religions and personal value systems watching seven individuals, there is no version of BTS that can perfectly align with everyone’s expectations. And I think constantly examining their every move under a microscope makes the problem worse. Every interaction, friendship, collaboration, song, concert, photo, brand partnership or random moment becomes something people feel compelled to decode and assign some deeper moral meaning to. Sometimes there simply isn’t one. Not every action is a statement. Not every interaction is an endorsement. Not every song someone enjoys represents their entire worldview. And not every decision you personally disagree with needs to become a controversy. There’s also a point where this stops being accountability and starts becoming parasocial surveillance. People start believing that because they consume someone’s work, they’re entitled not only to criticize them which is completely fair but to constantly scrutinize them, determine what their intentions really were, tell them what they supposedly believe, demand explanations, demand apologies, and then “educate” them until they behave according to the fandom’s expectations. That’s not a healthy relationship with a celebrity. BTS are grown men living their own lives. They’re going to make choices. Sometimes you’ll agree with those choices, sometimes you won’t. Sometimes they might genuinely make mistakes and deserve criticism. But sometimes the answer is simply: I wouldn’t have made that choice, and that’s okay. You don’t need to turn every disagreement into a moral crisis. And ironically, constantly expecting BTS to behave according to whatever the internet currently considers the morally perfect response is itself deeply parasocial. You’re no longer allowing them to exist as independent human beings; you’re expecting them to function as extensions of your own values. They’re not. They’re seven adults who happen to make music you enjoy. Let them be adults. And if one day who they are or the choices they make genuinely become incompatible with your values, you’re free to stop supporting them. But this endless cycle of scrutinizing every move, projecting intentions onto them and manufacturing a controversy every time they fail somebody’s personal purity test? At some point, you have to stop analyzing BTS’s lives and start living your own.

@vay' it was not even chris brown's concert, it was usher's and he invited them

Emrataaa

That’s exactly why I hate using social media as a measure of how big a “scandal” actually is. These platforms are basically designed to make outrage look universal. You have thousands of people sitting behind screens speaking about complete strangers with an amount of cruelty and certainty they would probably never use face-to-face. They insult people, psychoanalyse them, assign intentions to them, question their entire character and sometimes straight-up cyberbully them all while behaving as though they themselves are morally flawless. And the funniest part is: we don’t know these people either. The person writing a 25-tweet thread explaining why some celebrity is supposedly a terrible human being could be doing significantly worse things in their own private life. We have absolutely no idea. Social media just gives people an incredibly convenient position: you get to put somebody else on trial while revealing almost nothing about yourself. Then add antis and haters into the equation. The moment there’s controversy around someone they already dislike, of course they’re going to amplify it. They’ll quote-tweet it, repost it, exaggerate it and deliberately make it look bigger than it is. And once enough accounts participate, suddenly your timeline creates the illusion that “everyone is talking about this.” No. Your algorithm is talking about this. That distinction is incredibly important. Algorithms repeatedly show you content similar to what you’ve already engaged with. So if you interact with one BTS controversy, suddenly you’re seeing dozens of posts about it. Then hundreds. And psychologically, it starts feeling enormous because everywhere you look, people are discussing it. Meanwhile, you can literally put your phone down, go outside, talk to people, go to work, go to university, go shopping, meet your friends and discover that basically nobody knows or cares about whatever your timeline has spent the last 48 hours treating like an international emergency. That’s why “touch grass” sounds dismissive, but sometimes it’s genuinely good advice. Your timeline is not society. Your fandom space is not society. Twitter is not society. TikTok is not society. Obviously there are exceptions. Some scandals genuinely break through the social-media bubble because they involve serious criminal allegations, major political or cultural events, huge institutional consequences, etc. Then yes, you can legitimately talk about widespread public controversy. But most fandom “scandals”? They exist primarily inside particular online ecosystems. And another thing people desperately need to relearn is that virality does not equal truth. Ten thousand people repeating the same interpretation doesn’t transform that interpretation into a fact. A tweet having 80,000 likes doesn’t make its argument correct. Sometimes 80,000 people are simply wrong together. That’s why I care much more about evidence, context and proportionality than whatever opinion happens to be dominating my timeline that day. Because social media rewards the exact opposite: certainty, outrage, moral superiority, exaggeration and instant judgment. Real life is considerably more complicated and considerably less dramatic.

Emrataaa

And that’s another reason I’m extremely cautious about moral outrage on social media: performative morality is everywhere. If you judged people exclusively by what they post online, you’d think you were surrounded by morally flawless human beings. Everyone supports every good cause, always uses the correct language, has the correct opinion immediately, calls out every problematic behavior, boycotts everything they’re supposed to boycott and apparently has never made a questionable decision in their entire life. Come on. We’re all human beings. None of us is perfectly consistent. None of us has researched the ethics behind every product we consume, every company we give money to, every artist we listen to, every technology we use or every person we associate with. That level of absolute moral purity simply doesn’t exist. And the internet makes moral performance incredibly easy because there’s a massive information asymmetry: you can scrutinize everything a celebrity does while revealing almost nothing about yourself. I can see who Namjoon took a picture with. I can see what company BTS partnered with. I can see what song somebody shared. But I know absolutely nothing about the anonymous account lecturing them underneath it. I don’t know how you treat your family. I don’t know how you treat your friends. I don’t know how you behave with coworkers. I don’t know what companies you financially support. I don’t know what you say when nobody is watching. I don’t know whether you actually live according to the values you display online. I know your tweets. I don’t know you. And that’s why I take these huge declarations of moral superiority with an enormous grain of salt. That doesn’t mean anonymous people can’t make valid criticism. Of course they can. An argument should ultimately be judged on its evidence and reasoning, not on whether the person making it is personally virtuous. Someone could be a complete hypocrite and still correctly identify that somebody else did something wrong. But that’s precisely why I focus on the argument rather than the moral performance surrounding it. Show me what actually happened. Give me the context. Explain specifically what you think was wrong. Separate what we know from what you’re assuming. Then I can decide whether your criticism makes sense. What I’m not interested in is: “I would NEVER do this because MY morals could NEVER allow it and I’m so disappointed that these people aren’t who I thought they were.” Okay. I don’t know you. You’re an account behind a screen. And social media gives people this extraordinary ability to construct an idealized version of themselves. You can write whatever values you want into your bio. You can repost every humanitarian cause imaginable. You can publicly condemn every celebrity controversy. None of that automatically tells me how you behave when there’s no audience watching. That’s why people need much more distance from online discourse. Criticism can be legitimate without the critic being morally superior. And conversely, somebody presenting themselves as morally impeccable online doesn’t make their criticism intelligent. Sometimes they have a point. Sometimes they’re misinformed. Sometimes they’re projecting. Sometimes they’re farming engagement. Sometimes they already hated the celebrity and found an opportunity. Sometimes they genuinely care about the issue. And sometimes they’re just talking shit because social media gives them an audience. The job is to distinguish between those things instead of treating every viral moral judgment as some kind of verdict from society. Because behind every profile picture is another imperfect human being not a judge sitting above everyone else.

No post again today?

Emrataaa

And before anyone comes at me with “you’re just defending them” no. I genuinely do not care enough about this situation to “defend” anybody. None of these controversies have affected me emotionally. I’m not upset, I don’t feel betrayed, I’m not losing sleep, I’m not crying over it, and I certainly don’t feel personally responsible for fixing anything. I’m looking at a situation, taking some distance from it, analyzing what actually happened versus what people are projecting onto it, and forming my own opinion. That’s it. BTS are not my friends. I don’t know them personally. They’re celebrities whose music and content I enjoy. That is the extent of our relationship. And I think remembering that makes fandom considerably healthier. RM and J-Hope are grown men in their thirties. They don’t need me to rescue them from Twitter. They have teams, careers, money, experience and, most importantly, their own brains. They know what they did. They know what they think. They know what their intentions were far better than I do and far better than some random account writing a thread about them does. So whether someone thinks I’m “defending” them is completely irrelevant to me. Defending them from what? They don’t know I exist. They’re going to wake up tomorrow and continue living their lives regardless of what I say. What I’m defending, if anything, is a basic standard of reasoning. If the criticism makes sense, criticize them. If they actually do something wrong, say they did something wrong. I have zero issue with that. But if the argument relies on guilt by association, mind-reading, projection, double standards or turning somebody’s actions into beliefs they never expressed, I’m going to say the reasoning is weak. That principle would be exactly the same whether we were talking about BTS or anybody else. And frankly, I think some people need to grow out of this idea that fandom has to operate in two camps: either you’re attacking your idols to prove you’re a “critical fan,” or you’re defending them because you’re a delusional stan. There is a third option called being a normal person. You can like an artist, see a controversy, look at the facts, think “Okay, I understand why some people dislike this, but personally I don’t think it’s that deep,” and then continue with your day. No emotional breakdown. No emergency fandom meeting. No 47-tweet thread. No desperate attempt to defend grown millionaires. No campaign demanding apologies. No feeling personally betrayed by people you have never met. Just perspective. They’re celebrities. I’m a fan. We don’t know each other. And once you actually internalize that boundary, a lot of these fandom “scandals” become significantly less dramatic.

Emrataaa

They are millionaires in their thirties. There are seven of them. They have an entire company behind them, managers, PR teams, lawyers and every resource imaginable. Trust me, it is not me, Emrata, sitting behind my screen who is going to save or ruin their lives. And I genuinely do not care to try. I’m speaking about this because sometimes people need to hear another perspective. Some people need to log off for a second, touch grass, breathe, unclench, and realize that social media is not real life. That’s it. BTS are not my family. They’re not my friends. They don’t know me and I don’t know them. They’re celebrities I happen to appreciate a lot. In fact, they’re probably the artists I invest the most time and energy into as a fan. I listen to their music, follow their careers, enjoy their content and support what they do. But the relationship stops there. And appreciating someone’s work doesn’t mean I suddenly have to become their unpaid lawyer every time Twitter Tiktok decides there’s a controversy. I’m not on the BTS legal team. Nobody is paying me a retainer. Those seven grown men can handle themselves perfectly fine without Emrata launching an emergency defense operation from her bedroom. At the same time, me saying “this argument makes no sense” doesn’t automatically mean I’m defending BTS. Sometimes an argument is simply bad. Sometimes people are exaggerating. Sometimes they’re projecting. Sometimes they’re being hypocritical. Sometimes the internet has taken something relatively mundane and turned it into a moral emergency. And I’m allowed to point that out without secretly being emotionally devastated on behalf of seven millionaires men. I think that’s the distinction some people have lost: you can care about an artist without carrying that artist on your back. I love BTS. I invest time into being a fan because I genuinely enjoy it. But their controversies are not my personal crises. Their reputation is not my responsibility. Their decisions are not mine to justify. And whatever consequences come from those decisions belong to them. That’s actually why I can look at these situations and think, “Okay, what actually happened here?” rather than immediately feeling like I either need to defend them with my life or publicly condemn them to prove that I’m not a delusional stan. Neither is necessary. Sometimes you can just look at the discourse and say: this is being blown completely out of proportion. Then close the app and continue living your life. Because BTS certainly will.

Betsy

I'm pumped too, Tivy!! They have a wide selection to look over. It's going to be so awesome!!!

Tivy

Yesss I agree!

Snooze

I can see why a lot of armys are hurt by what rm and hobi have done and if they don't want to support bts anymore, that's completely fine but they're definitely not getting cancelled for it. They went to Usher 's concert not his. They didn't post a picture with him, he did. They obviously can't say no to him for a photo. Also if we started cancelling artists for this then more than half the industry would be cancelled by now.

Nanami's Wife

They won’t be cancelled, but most of the army was disappointed. And honestly rightfully so bc they attended a known abuser concert. And they built their whole platform by talking against social norms and spoke at the uncief. So, based on the standards they built it’s understandable when they do something that doesn’t align with that the fans are disappointed, you know? It’s one thing listening to the music but going to the concert?? Idk, I’m not trying to do a moral competition but they should’ve put out a statement. Armies just want to state their opinion and want them to learn from their mistakes bc we all make them, we’re human. Obviously, there are people who was waiting for moments like these to hate on them even more which is annoying. But people can’t let those voices mask the armies who are criticizing not to hate, but to educate. If BTS can call out James Corden on National television and not attend the Grammys, then they can acknowledge this too. But their silence is a statement and it does make me feel weird. I’m not gonna stop stanning, but things like these make me remember these are people I don’t know and they’re men so😭🤷‍♀️ I also don’t like the fan coddling them like they’re not grown. It’s okay to be a fan and be honest when they’re wrong

Yasmine

Livestream yay!😍 Aespa please omgg 💌 their songs ‘drama’ and ‘Armageddon’ are great

RUN BTS performance video

Hi

When……………

Noha⁷

you do know it took them a couple weeks/months for them to release a statement about cordon and some of their other stuff. if they're gonna give a statement or any form of acknowledgement, it might take longer than a week for them to do it. I personally don't think they need to put out a statement for several reasons. Emertaa already mentioned it but they decided to go to the concert so why should they apologise for doing that. You can feel a certain way/be disappointed but Im not gonna start pressing them for a statement like we are owed anything. We actually need to keep it moving though because why is this still a thing

Betsy

I'm so ready for the livestream! I wonder if it will be today or tomorrow 👀

Betsy

100% Up hehe

Ida

Cortis documentary plisss🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Jo

I definitely think we can fit in more songs on the stream this time. Please do at least 10😝😝

Loly

I hope we get some TWICE songs in the livestream 🙏

Nanami's Wife

You do realize it doesn't matter how long it takes for them to put a statement. Idc if it takes a couple days to a month. It's obvious that they are going to be silent which is fine. But, they had to come out and apologize for smaller things in the past so I don't see why it is a problem now. I don't want them to apologize. It's not abt apologizing, it's abt acknowledging. A good statement could be "we hear your words and concern and will be more aware in the future army" or "we hear you army and understand your frustrations". That's it. It's that easy. And if we're being honest if the blacklash was coming from Korea, they would've already said something. Which is frustrating for international fans. And now that the antis have use this opportunity to hate on BTS even more and spread rumors, the voices (like me) who actually care for them to just listen to their fans' concerns are getting overshadowed. People need to stop with the "they don't owe us anything" epidemic. Human interaction is soo important and basic decency. And I already knew this thing will be forgotten or moved on bc this happens a lot in the kpop community, which is whatever (im not trying to hold it over the boys), but that type of mentality will keep people from not learning/growing. And I know it's not only BTS that has supported Chris Brown, but don't you see the problem? Abusers like Chris Brown still get support and his career is not hurt because people will still go to pay to see him or want to collab. That's why abusers keep getting away with this. So this is bigger than just BTS going to see Chris Brown/Usher. It's just people realizing again how fucked the system is. The only reason people are focusing on BTS is bc fans didn't expect that especially with a dominated female fanbase. And the whole thing of "they went to see Usher" doesn't help the case because they still went out of their way to talk and take a pic with Chris. And these are the types of conversations that shouldn't be pushed away, idc if it's uncomfortable to have. You need to have uncomfortable conversations to grow. Coddling the boys doesn't do them good. I don't support the hate against the boys but I support the armies who are speaking their minds respectfully.

R.Az

That billboard thing most been a joke cuz there is no way that a boring group like red velvet is better then bts

Gabriela

we need illit songs 😭🙏

Betsy

Yes that would be perfect!!! Maybe they will surprise us 🤭😉

Noha⁷

The whole 'they only care about korea' is a stupid point. For example, when rm promoted feminist books he got cancelled korea, widely attacked and put on blacklists in the incel korean society. The criticism was valid when people voiced out their disappointment in a respectful matter, but this turned into them getting more hate than cb himself. People arent focusing on BTS cause their female fanbase bfr, it's because they just hate BTS and are using this to get all their grievances out on them or just for fanwars. They're being held on a higher pedestal than other western celebrities by these people/organisations and it's racially charged idc. Your point makes sense but those conversations aren't being had, so me personally, I'm done. And just because I have a different view of what you think they should do, doesn't mean Im coddling them btw. They're grown ass men, I just respectfully have and think there's bigger things going on

Why you guys not upload anything?

SammiewiththebigT

Cuz they’re only doing the stream this week, which is between wednesday and friday. It literally says that.

Jo

Yes!!!

SammiewiththebigT

It clearly didn’t take them long to call out the grammys, also it’s not about apologizing. It’s about acknowledging what they did and no matter how much you speak on that it’s their lives. They’re the ones who are telling armies to hold them accountable and criticize them or else they won’t grow. To stop looking up to them as perfect human beings. If they are doing something bad, then it should be acknowledged and they should be held accountable.

Carolyn Hurd

Please react to Mamamoo killing voice, Kard's newest release "Back to life" (coed group), Baekhyun solos

Jo

Don’t shoot me but I feel like since the last stream was all MVs, maybe we can do something else this time, for example react to live performances, killing voices, Dance Practices, etc. But that can be a little too long so I get it if it’s not an option 😊

peak recommendations snsd is a must

Sienna

Does anyone have any idea when are they going live?

Nanami's Wife

Nah tbh it’s true, they do care more about what kmedia says more than international and that’s okay. I’m just more surprised theyre more silent on this situation when there has been others they apologized for that was not a big deal. Like when the boys come on live to apologize for their weight. Or when jungkook apologized for his drunk live (I loved it btw) or when yoongi apologized for the scooter. Idk I’m glad that army said their thoughts but now recently the antis has been cominggggg for bts and it frustrates me so bad bc now the people who wanted to have a educational conversation is being pushed by them. Like im seeing #btsdisband or using ‘ugly’ pictures of them. Like we have lost the plot. Those same antis also stan groups who have probably done worse (but also bringing other people into doesn’t mean we shouldn’t hold them less accountable). So, I can tell people are now just wanting to hate on bts bc of this opportunity. But I still hope that the members heard the genuine voices in the beginning bc fans really did mean well. They really wanted to convey their thoughts to them on the situation. And acknowledging is important, it’s better than silence. They literally spoke against the Grammys, they can speak on this. But if not, then it’s telling. And at the same time, I don’t think they’re bad people for not speaking, but it just brings me back to reality that these are men that i dont really know😭 I mean companies would put out a statement if a dating rumor becomes big, so why can’t there be a statement for this, u know?

Betsy

It will be 3pm est

Betsy

You have excellent taste, Jo! This list is top tier!! But it won't be the same without you 🥺💕

Sienna

Thanks!! How did you know though? Is there any group chat for GeK-Pop?

Betsy

Yayyy I can't wait for another livestream today! All I really want the most is for the Geks to finally witness Stray Kids Killing Voice and maybe Domino Dance Practice for an added bonus maybe hehehe 😉

Betsy

They posted it earlier this week in the comments somewhere here but you have to scroll down some to find it. You're very welcome! No unfortunately there's no GeK-Pop chat. Instead they use the comments section to communicate with us :)

Nanami's Wife

OOP Wait did they delete the kpop stream post...... I wasn't expecting that😭

Totaa

I left the live stream midway because I didn't see any content related to BTS; I believe most of those interested were solely there for BTS and didn't wait until the end of the broadcast, which is why BTS didn't win the poll.

chloe ⁷

very sorry i feel abit at fault bcos of this 😭😭

chloe ⁷

i feel bad i was IN the comments calling people out 😭😭

I feel like there was valid concerns there but fair enough. Enjoyed the mix of groups

Sorry if my comment was apart of that. I hope you guys know I love your reactions no matter if its BTS or not! I was only hoping to give advice relieve some toxicity for the next stream!

Nanami's Wife

Groups they did in the livestream if you missed it: LNGSHOT (Moonwalkin) Red Velvet (Psycho) EXO (Love Shot) Enhypen (Drunk dazed) Ateez (Ice on my teeth) Jennie (Like Jennie) Aespa (Whiplash) TXT (Loser=Lover, Back for more) Love the stream, it was fun and can’t wait for the next one!🤭

Mandyyy

I wasn’t in the stream please what’s going on here ? We are here to enjoy music not to make war, so please stop this hatred a little. If we haven’t listened to the group you like, wait for the next stream or the next poll

Mandyyy

Thank you 🥰

Gatha Naranath

Im just tired of being villainized as a fandom when every fandom is toxic tho…but I’ll be silent from now on. I was so happy with the live stream choices cause even if I’m there for bts I love all kpop groups. But when I see people in chat saying nonsense like armys are mad obviously I get pissed like I was never mad😭they egg us on

Gatha Naranath

I enjoyed it too. I just wish people would stop making us look bad

Jo

Thank youuuu Mandy and Betsy!!!!🤭🤭 I’ve listened to so much K-pop in my life so trust, I KNOW ball😝😝😝

Nanami's Wife

LMAO it's okay. I don't think it was toxic comments, I think the comments were overfilling. I understood people disappointment for no bts and annoyed at the antis in the chat BUT I was really happy that the geks branched into different groups in the livestream

Leen 🎀

they did react to them this stream 😝😝

chloe ⁷

yeah i figured maybe i should stop replying to people because i dont want the geks to feel as though i’m trying to cause an argument in the comments lol. it is very annoying to be generalised but at the end of the day we probably always are gonna be i’ve accepted it atp lol

Gatha Naranath

I’m sorry if my comments were one of the tiring ones in the deleted post. Which is why I tried to specify I’m not blaming u guys at all. I know ur not doing anything on purpose. I just happen to know how kpop fandoms work and it’s exhausting as an army seeing us being villainized when majority of us weren’t even speaking. Even 1 or 2 toxic armys is enough for everyone to hate us. And being called out adds fuel to the fire. I hope u understand. I was happy with the stream because before being a bts fan I was a kpop Stan. So I love anything. I was just upset with how Kpop fans in the chat.

Emrataaa

To all the K-pop stans who finally got a reaction to one of their favorite artists today: come here, we’re having a little group hug in the comments. 🫂💜 No fanwars, no drama, just good vibes and everyone being happy for each other. 🥹🫶 If you got a reaction you were hoping for, COME CELEBRATE!! Tell us who you got! 😭✨ And if you’re still waiting for yours, I really hope your turn is coming soon. 🫂💜 From a BTS-only ARMY: I’m genuinely so happy for you guys. Everyone deserves that little “OMG THEY’RE FINALLY REACTING TO MY FAVES” moment. 😭😂💜 Now get in here. GROUP HUG. 🫂🫂🫂

Jo

Uh oh, what happened on the last post?? I just watched the stream on twitch ( with ads and some parts had no sound😂) and I have to say y’all came THRUUU with the requests!!!! I LOVED all the songs you guys picked and am very satisfied with the reaction😝😝

McKay Carter

There was just a lot of arguments and rude comments in the last post that were unneeded, not everyone’s fault

Betsy

I believe it! I've listened to quite a bit too and I always stay amazed at all the peak. It gets overwhelming at times 😂

Betsy

Awww you're seriously the sweetest! I was waiting for Stray Kids since they are my favorite but Aespa was another group I've been eager for them to see and have been asking for 🤗

Nanami's Wife

Yeah, I was surprised it was deleted bc I understood some of the concerns. But ig it was getting too much idk. Still loved the stream

Jo

OF COURSE McKay🫶🏾🫶🏾 also apologies if you’re in a relationship but you looked extra good on that stream mannn😝

Emrataaa

AHHH come here, BIG HUG!!! 🫂😭💜 I’m seriously SO happy for you!! And now I’m jumping and celebrating with you because YOU FINALLY GOT AESPA!! 😭🙌✨ And honestly, Stray Kids and aespa are both INCREDIBLE artists, so I’m genuinely so happy that you at least got one of the reactions you’ve been waiting and asking for!! 🥹🫶 You deserved that moment! And I really, really hope you get Stray Kids too!! Actually, I hope you get EVERYTHING you’ve been waiting for all the Stray Kids reactions, all the aespa reactions, and every single reaction to your favs that you’ve been hoping for. 💜 As an ARMY, we’ve been incredibly spoiled with how much BTS content we’ve gotten, and I genuinely hope you eventually get just as much content for your favs as we’ve been lucky enough to get for BTS. YOU DESERVE IT TOO!! 🫂✨ So I’m sending you the biggest hug and manifesting MANY MANY MORE reactions for you!! And when they finally do Stray Kids, I better see you celebrating in these comments again !!!🙂‍↕️💃 SO SO HAPPY FOR YOUUUU!! COME HEREEEE 🫂💜

Rain ༊*·⟭⟬⁷

I have no idea what’s going on. I didn’t watch it because I knew there wouldn’t be much bts content which is completely Okie. I just honestly don’t know if I can take any more of the fandom wars it’s crazy. I don’t want to be scrutinised simply for voting for a group I want in a poll because that’s all I’ve seen. If bts gets votes people get mad.

Cutae

I guess that post was kinda getting messy. Although I wrote a long comment after reading a lot of comments and the post got deleted a second later😔. can I ask what bts song was on the livestream pole, I know from the comments it lost. Im just curious 👀

Betsy

Oh my goodness, Emrataaa your comment really warmed my heart. Thank you so much!!! It was refreshing to see. You have such a beautiful soul. I could tell you're a very kind and open minded person. And I'm still hoping for Stray Kids Killing Voice, Hellevator, Maniac, Thunderous, Double Knot, Victory Song, Divine, Run It, This & That, etc. and also the the DominATE Experience concert/documentary film as well as the complete 2026 Guide to Stray Kids by Chandora's World one day maybe. However, I know that's kind of asking for a lot. So I'm trying to be patient and respectful but sometimes I get greedy and I feel super jealous of ARMY. I just love Stray Kids so much. I wish they could do a deep dive. I've been wanting that ever since they watched K-pop Demon Hunters. BIG HUG to YOU as well!!!! 🥰🫂🤗

Belle Sharrar

it wasn't a song. it was bts vs jennie and jennie won

kpthpthhh

did somebody say red velvet?

Gatha Naranath

They reacted to Psycho by red velvet in their stream today! I was trying so hard to vouch for the older groups. Especially red velvet and mamamoo who are vocal queens😭No mamamoo yet unfortunately they don’t get enough attention by other kpop fans. But maybe someday!

Betsy

Yes they did Red Velvet Psycho. They really enjoyed it :)

kpthpthhh

oh...did somebody say...red velvet killing voice?

Betsy

Some suggested it but I think Killing Voices are kind of long for a stream when they are mainly wanting to focus on MV's. But I hope one day we get a stream with a few Killing Voices. Because it's a great way for them to learn more about certain groups and to see if they are interested in checking out more of their discography :-)

Emrataaa

BETSY STOPPP you’re going to make me emotional now 😭🫂💜 BIGGEST HUG BACK TO YOU!!! And please, don’t feel bad for wanting all of those Stray Kids reactions!! Honestly, reading your list just makes me hope even MORE that you eventually get every single one of them. Killing Voice, Hellevator, Maniac, Thunderous, the DominATE documentary, the full guide, the deep dive… GIRL I’M MANIFESTING THE WHOLE LIST FOR YOU NOW. 🕯️🫶 And I completely understand what you mean when you say you sometimes feel jealous of ARMY. Please don’t beat yourself up over that feeling. As long as you’re respectful and you’re not bringing BTS or ARMY down, there is absolutely nothing wrong with looking at how much content we get and thinking, “I wish they would do that with my favs too.” 🥹 Honestly? I wish that for you too. We’ve been incredibly lucky as ARMY with the amount of BTS content and deep dives we’ve gotten, and I genuinely hope one day you can look at their Stray Kids page and have HOURS AND HOURS of content waiting for you too. 🫶 I hope you get the songs, the guides, the concerts, the documentaries, the Killing Voice ALL OF IT. Because I know exactly how exciting it is when someone starts going deeper and deeper into an artist you love. And just because my artist is BTS doesn’t mean I can’t understand that you feel exactly the same way about Stray Kids or others.💜 You’re not asking for too much simply because you’re excited and want them to discover more of an artist you love. You’re a fan!! Of course you want more! 😂😭 The important thing is exactly what you said: being patient and respectful about it. And honestly, I REALLY hope they eventually do a proper Stray Kids deep dive for you. I want you to have that moment over and over again. 😂🫂 So KEEP THAT LIST READY because I’m manifesting with you now!! 🕯️✨ And thank you so much for your sweet words. 🥹 You genuinely made me smile. This right here is exactly what I want fandom spaces to feel like an ARMY and a Stay just being excited for each other and wanting each other to get more content. No competition, no jealousy turning into hate, just “I love my favs, you love yours, and I hope we BOTH get spoiled.” 🫂💜 BIG BIG BIG HUG BACK TO YOU, BETSY!!! 🫂🫂🫂

Betsy

Emrataaa, yes I wish more fans could be more like this but the toxicity gets to be too much at times where I have to just take a step back from all the fandom wars and unnecessary drama. Aww I'm glad my words made you feel good. I really meant all of it. And I might not always but I try my best to be kind and remain respectful to everyone on here even if I don't always agree with everything. I still try to keep an open mind and a positive outlook. And wow you're such a ray of sunshine!!! 🤗 💕🥰 I'm so glad and thankful I met you on here. Thanks so much!!! I really appreciate it and it means a lot to me. I will be a complete bucket of tears if that day ever comes when they do a deep dive of Stray Kids. It will feel incredibly surreal.... like a dream. Also I used to be a huge BTS fan since they were my favorite group and first ever K-pop group back in 2017. But then later on, I became interested in other groups and I felt like I could connect more with them once I kind of outgrow BTS sadly. Sorry to say. I know I shouldn't but I still bad and guilty about it like a traitor. I love them as people but I'm more of a casual listener now. Hope that doesn't sound bad at all. Stray Kids are my ult, then my other favorites are ATEEZ, NCT, and Aespa. Thank you again! It's so nice to have your support. I feel like it's a long shot since there are not a lot of STAYS on here. But I keep hoping for it anyway since they mean a lot to me. Plus, I feel like I can relate to Felix since I'm adopted from Seoul and am still trying to learn more about my culture and roots. Sorry for making this so long!!! I always do it 😅

Emrataaa

Betsy, first of all, NEVER apologize for writing long messages to me 😭🫂 I genuinely love reading them, especially when someone is sharing something that actually means something to them. So you never have to worry about that with me. 💜 And please, please don’t feel guilty or like a “traitor” because your connection with BTS changed over time. 🥺 There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. You discovered them in 2017, they were your first K-pop group and your favorite group for a long time, and that will always be part of your story. The fact that you eventually discovered other artists you connected with more doesn’t erase any of that. You didn’t betray anyone. Your taste evolved, YOU evolved, and you found artists who speak to you differently at this point in your life. That is completely valid. 🫶 You don’t owe any artist permanent loyalty. Music is supposed to accompany us through life, not become an obligation. Sometimes an artist stays with us forever, sometimes our connection changes, sometimes another artist comes along and touches something in us that we weren’t expecting. None of those things are wrong. So please don’t ever feel like you have to apologize to me because I’m ARMY and BTS-only either. 😭💜 You can tell me that you outgrew BTS. You can tell me that Stray Kids became your ult. You can tell me you connect more with ATEEZ, NCT or aespa now. I’m not going to be offended by that. 😂🫂 Your relationship with music is YOURS. Being BTS-only simply means BTS are the only K-pop group that I personally follow like that. It doesn’t mean I need everyone else to love BTS the way I do, and it certainly doesn’t mean I can’t support people who love other artists. Actually, it’s the opposite. I know how much happiness BTS content gives me, so when you tell me how desperately you want a real Stray Kids deep dive, I understand the FEELING behind it even if Stray Kids aren’t personally my group. 🥹 And now knowing how much they mean to you makes me want that deep dive for you even more. 😭 Especially after what you shared about being adopted from Seoul and feeling a connection with Felix while you’re learning more about your own culture and roots… that sounds like something very personal to you, and I can understand why your connection to Stray Kids goes beyond simply liking their music. 💜 I would never pretend to know exactly what that feels like for you, but I think it’s really beautiful that you’ve found an artist who gives you something meaningful while you’re exploring that part of yourself. So NO, I’m not accepting this “I’m asking for too much” nonsense anymore 😂😭🫂 KEEP. THE. LIST. Killing Voice? KEEP ASKING. Hellevator? KEEP ASKING. Maniac? Thunderous? DominATE? The guide? The documentaries? THE WHOLE DEEP DIVE?? KEEP THAT MANIFESTATION LIST READY GIRL. 😂🕯️✨ You can be patient and respectful while still hoping for all of it. Those things aren’t contradictory. And if that Stray Kids deep dive ever happens, I already know you’re going to be an absolute emotional MESS 😂 and honestly, I hope I’m still somewhere in these comments when it happens because I want to see you lose your mind over it. 🫂 Also, what you said about fandom toxicity is exactly why interactions like this make me happy. We don’t even have the same ult group. You’re a Stay, I’m ARMY/BTS-only, and somehow instead of arguing about whose group deserves what, we’re sitting here basically going “NO, I HOPE YOUR FAVS GET EVERYTHING YOU WANT TOO!!” 🙂‍↕️ THAT is how it should be. Your love for Stray Kids takes absolutely nothing away from my love for BTS. My love for BTS takes absolutely nothing away from what Stray Kids mean to you. There is literally no reason we can’t root for each other. So yes, keep hoping for that deep dive. And I’ll keep hoping with you. 🕯️💜 And thank you for trusting me enough to share all of that with me. I’m genuinely really happy we found each other in these comments too. 🥹🫂 Now COME HERE because after that message you’re getting another giant hug whether you like it or not 😭🫂🫂🫂💜

Betsy

You're right. Long messages are my favorite. I feel like they are more meaningful. My problem is I worry what people think too much but I also try to see the good in others. I wear my heart on sleeve. I don't have much confidence in myself and go through long periods of depression and anxiety. That's why I write poetry. It helps channel my emotions and feelings. I'm also a deep thinker. That's another reason why I love Stray Kids so much. I feel like I can connect and kind of relate to Hyunjin with his love for art and poetry. He has such a creative mind. But really all the members have their own special and unique hobbies that make them who they are. Aww yes, I look forward to talking to you more on here and getting to know you more. It's fun meeting new people in the comments section. I'm kind of really open on here and it's my safe space. I've actually met a lot of friends on the Geks patreon that I've got to know on more deeper level which is amazing. Also, BTS helped me a lot when I was going through a rough time with depression, and during COVID. They also were part of my therapy when I was in counseling so, I was grateful for them for giving me that gift. They got me through some hard times when I was scared. You're right though, interests change as we get older and that goes for our music taste as well. It evolves over time as we mature and reflect on things. NCT means a lot to me too because I can relate to Johnny and Mark since they are in foreigners in Korea. It made feel less alone. I'm Korean but sometimes I feel like an alien where I don't feel like a truly one. I guess I'm part of both worlds, though. I've lived in America all my life so this is home. However, I get this homesickness when I think of Korea and what I never was able to experience and feel a little sad. Korea's culture just fascinates me. I wish I spoke the language. I can say a few phrases here and there but I'm not that good. Sorry I got a little too personal. I'm an open person by nature. However, I can be introverted, too. Awww you're amazing!!! Anyway, I'll keep fighting for Stray Kids to have their big moment. I'm glad you're with me on this journey. Lets keep manifesting FIGHTING!!! 😭❤🤗

Sara Ali

More xggg please

Betsy
