i need some ARMYs to understand that we need to stop having conventional K-pop expectations from BTS. we're in a completely new era. this is the rebirth of BTS. this is BTS 2.0, and ARIRANG is the beginning of that chapter. the livestreams, the occasional RUN BTS episodes and all these little interactions we still get? BTS do these things because they love their fans and enjoy sharing moments with us. but they don't owe us a constant stream of additional content. they don't need to keep up with every expectation we've developed from previous eras. they are MUSICIANS. MUSICIANS. their primary responsibility is to create music, release it, perform it and continue evolving as artists. everything else is a bonus. a beautiful bonus that we get to enjoy, but a bonus nonetheless. and isn't the ARIRANG tour, its extraordinary scale and the fact that millions of people are showing up for them, testament enough to what BTS have built as musicians? isn't this exactly what preserving and expanding their legacy looks like? we need to let BTS be artists. let them evolve, let them choose what they want to share with us and let this new chapter exist on its own terms. we cannot keep measuring BTS 2.0 against every expectation we formed during previous eras.
