Overtaking Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez to spend 27 consecutive weeks atop Billboard’s “Social 50” chart, which tracks popularity across different platforms, would be an impressive feat for any artist. It’s especially so for BTS, a Korean boy band — the full name, Bangtan Sonyeondan, loosely translates to “bulletproof boy scouts” in English — whose seven members have managed to cultivate a virtual fanbase that could give the Beyhive a run for its money. In 2016, the so-called BTS Army propelled Wings to No. 26 on the Billboard 200 — the highest-ever debut for a K-pop album — and earlier this year, they helped BTS win Top Social Artist at the Billboard Music Awards. During their acceptance speech, band member Rap Monster (real name: Kim Nam-joon) gave credit where credit was due: “This award belongs to [everybody] around the world who shines the love and light on us,” he said. —Raisa Bruner

Yeah, but it was part of the Bon Voyage2 pack so you had to pay to see it. I bought it with a friend because it was too damn expensive to get on my own. Idk if it's on Youtube already.

I haven't seen it yet. I had to go to work so I need to be in the privacy of my own home to fangirl properly. Going by that gif I need to be prepared. I saw some stills already from it and he looks so damn fine idk what to do with myself.

Are armys still trying to force MTV to nominate them for a vma?

From: [identity profile] garnetstar38.livejournal.com
Naw, the hive mind did not activate for that or the teen choice awards. Like as much as people want to hate Billboards and the BBMAS that was an organic nomination because of them being on that useless Top 50 Social Artist list.

Oh that's good, it wa starting to feel like armys were close to kidnappong grandmas in order to get them nominated for stuff

Watched it and it was hilarious as usual for BTS. A lot of second had embarrassment took place with me covering my eyes and unable to look at the proceedings.
