The reason why veteran ARMYs aka OG ARMYs feel tired or disrespected because a lot of the “discussions” and opinions you see on the timeline happen EVERY SINGLE COMEBACK. Over and over again. This is what we learned over the years +
1. BTS are here for the music. Kpoppies, mantis, solo stans, and antis will make up drama and victimize the boys. They don’t care about the group’s future and only want to destroy OT7.
Do not fall for them

2. BTS are not overworked and stressed BUT when they are, they will request a break from Big Hit.
BTS has taken 2 long breaks before for personal reasons. Spring 2018 and 1 month in fall 2019. Big Hit respects the boys and to our knowledge, gives breaks when needed

3. BTS love each other and respect each other’s opinions. There is no bullying or mistreatment.
The boys also care about ARMYs’ opinions. They lurk here to see #/btsfanart, jokes, and our reactions to their music. Censor when necessary. Do not demand extra content or more music

4. Antis & kpoppies will ALWAYS gaslight armys before every comeback, every award show voting, every time we want to trend a hashtag. They also love performative activism & demand us to “enjoy quietly”.
Ignore!!
We are here to help BTS win, top all charts worldwide, and trend.

5. Eat the rich 
In the early days, BH was very poor and disregarded by broadcasting networks (which means BTS didn’t get screentime). ARMYs bought BTS music and identified as #BTSpop so BTS could survive. Never did we imagine BTS becoming the most popular group in the world

If ARMYs downloaded music illegally and did not buy CDs, BTS would not have survived.
BTS would’ve ended up like the rest of kpop — no new album after the third year, no extra contents like Run BTS, and disbanded by fourth year. Obviously, “eat the rich” affects the artists too

6. Real armys do not wait at airports to see BTS.
You might think “I’m only one person,” but in 2017, there were THOUSANDS OF ARMYS swarming BTS every time they arrived/departed at airports in SK and around the world. It was very dangerous then and BTS is MORE popular now.

7. Real armys do not stalk BTS or share photos of their personal schedules. Antis and fansites do bc they don’t respect the boys.
When BTS went on break in 2019, ARMYs joked about running in the opposite direction if they accidentally see BTS. And they did. BTS was very thankful

8. “Clearing the search” by spamming or trending something does not work.
Kpoppies and antis stalk armys and if they see us panicking about a secret, leak, hate comment, they will retweet and blow it up. The best thing we can do is report the tweet and email BH if it’s a leak

or something highly inappropriate like a stalking incident.

9. BTS hates fansites.
Do not follow fansites. Do not retweet fansites or buy their unofficial merch. Fansites hit and step on locals and armys at award shows and concerts. They smuggle in cameras

into concert arenas and stadiums with a terrible history of b-mbs killing fans.
They have no respect for BTS or other people and BTS’s security will throw them out every concert. I have personally seen 3 BTS’s security go after a fansite woman at the Oakland concert.

10. Never trust breaking news on naver / dispatch / jtbc.
They are the worst kind of paparazzi and are financially backed by the “Big 3” Korean companies. They spread fake news to make money and ruin BTS and BH. Jtbc even broke into the BH building in 2019 and filmed secretly

11. Do not trust every ARMY you see on army twt.
Some are misguided, some are solo stans, Kpoppies, mantis, and antis. Always do research, look for proof, and ask around.
Please do research and ask your ARMY friends on everything you read in this thread.

12. Move in silence.
If something feels wrong, suspicious, or strange, do not engage.
Do not trend anything or tweet about it. Report the tweet/post and email BH. Censor B//T//S if necessary. This is how armys dealt with the incident in November 2018 effectively.

Explanation on #5
Not being able to buy BTS CDs does NOT make you less of an ARMY.
Before my first real job, I spent almost 2 years streaming on YouTube & buying singles on iTunes.
Buy BTS’s music if you can afford to. If you can’t, stream on legit, free apps like YT
