“BTS BTS BTS”: ARMYs take over Twitter chanting praises for the K-pop juggernauts

Bangtan members have taken over worldwide Twitter trends and rightfully so. The K-pop juggernauts bagged their fourth consecutive title at the 2022 MTV VMAs.

ARMYs have called for a virtual Twitter party, chanting praise for Bangtan. Fans have conferred Bangtan with “Princes of K-pop” title and we cannot think of a better title befitting their status.

“Best Group of the year” fans call and we cannot agree more.

Yes, “BTS Paved the Way” and there are no two ways about it.

Fans agree that the Bangtan Boys are the most deserving candidates for the title.

ARMYs believe Bangtan deserved to win more than one award at the 2022 MTV VMAs.

Bangtan members are currently on a break from group activities and pursuing their solo endeavors. They will reunite in October for their global Busan concert as honorary ambassadors for the Korean government.


BTS to hold a global concert in Busan on October 15

Bangtan's upcoming Busan concert, titled “Yet To Come,” is scheduled to take place on October 15 at 6 pm KST (2:30 pm IST and 2 am PST) at the Busan Ilkwang Special Stage and will be jointly supported by the Busan Metropolitan City as well as the “2030 Busan World Expo” Bid Committee.

Bangtan members were chosen to be honorary ambassadors by the Korean government to help them win the “ 2030 Busan World Expo” bid.

Although the concert is free of charge, fans are required to make prior reservations on Interpark. The concert will be streamed live on Weverse, ZEPETO and NAVER NOW for the benefit of International ARMYs.

Currently, hotel prices have reached ridiculous prices in Busan ($660 for two nights) and fans are hoping BIG HIT MUSIC intervenes and resolves the issue.
