PLEASE CONSUME THE ORIGINAL CONTENT

true, this why my trust in Bangtan is so strong, consumed everything with context ✨

I swear, many of the "controversies" that have been blown out of context would not have been given nearly the same attention if people had watched and understood who Bangtan are at their core by watching their past contents.

yes don’t let others tell you about them, let Bangtan tell you their story and history from their complete content, it’s all right there💜

All this talk made me nostalgic!!!

Me finding out about BURN ON STAGE this morning and now I’m on eps 6 now ☺️

Ooh that one is SO GOOD. It hurts a lot, knowing how much they were literally burning out. It's an integral part of their history, though.

💯 agree. If you just watch clips, this how the shippers happen. Plus understand 'sorry for my fault' and the ultimate betrayal that happens in every Run BTS episode

I'm one of the new new ones, not even a year old 😁 Best place to start would be where?

Welcome!!! After all their music videos, watch RunBTS. I started in the middle, caught up, and then went back and started again, but you can start anywhere. Then Bon Voyage, especially season 1 when they were CLUELESS, but every season is amazing.

You'll get to know them through their eras. Also, someone mentioned Burn The Stage. The series is best (you'll have to search for it) but there's also a shorter version documentary. LOTS of insight into the pressure that nearly broke them apart.

My DMs are open if you need any other help navigating! Have fun!!!

Is the hamburger incident when JK bought burgers for everyone on that TV show and they rudely rejected them? I've actually never seen that, just read about it. I don't know/remember what the dolphin discussion is.

Yep! And then the guy interviewed him again in 2021 when it was all ot7 and he was so grovelly. Like, oh now you want to be respectful. The dolphin discussion is from Hawaii and Jin and Jimin and were talking about whether or not dolphins breathe air

Thanks! I did watch BV in Hawaii but I just don't remember that. I did see the guy grovelling though in 2021 and read people explaining ahead of time about the hamburger incident. I don't know if I'll ever manage to see ALL their tv guest appearances though, there are so many!

There are SO MANY! I said for literal YEARS that I was seeing something new every. Single. Day. It has slowed down, but I still find new things regularly. It makes their 2017/2018 disbandment talks make so much sense when you realize HOW MUCH they created in those years. nonstop.

Yeah!!! I told myself that I'd get caught up during military, and I did not.

We had such grand plans for their "time away". Jokes were on us!

And plans for saving for concert tickets. I managed to save enough for 2 nights in the nosebleeds (and a 3rd ticket that I gave to a friend), and a plane ticket to get there.

When I first became ARMY in 2019 I watched YouTube videos about the shipping of BTS members. I could hardly stand Jimin bc he was shipped with JK and Tae causing drama. Lol. It took ARMY telling me exactly this to see the error of my ways.

This is something I notice!!! When someone says, "oh xx doesn't want to be in the group" "xx hates xx", I always want to know if they've watched anything real because the love they have for each other radiates out of the screen!

No fr. I would say you do not have to watch everything cuz now it's truly A LOTS. But it's very important to watch original content cuz most clips are made with agenda and lack of context. Not just shippers in particular but also the akgae and diet solos always do that 😑

True, a lot of the misinformation that I'd were corrected the moment I started watching the full original materials and not some random edited clips on ig, the full context always matters

💯👏👏🙏

This!!! 💯!!!

This is what I'm always saying. Please watch original content. I'm begging you! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Not me over here seeing me in 4k

Is this original post still up on TT (I'm assuming that's where it's from). Tried to give it some love over there but can't find it on their profile.

It is!

Thank you!

Linking this here under the original thread. @index_bts has a VERY thorough directory!!

@Ceci_OT7 Exactly. Thank the lord, I actually watched all the original content multiple times before even joining the fandom. Hence, none of these online idiots can change my mind.

The burger incident made me cry. I can't watch it again ever 🥺

I watched the hamburger incident once and never again it was awful 😣

It was!!!

Truer word never been said. This exactly what I did when I first fall into the rabbit hole. I make sure to consume the original content first. That’s how I can filter out clips or content that click-baiting, rage-baiting

god bless her we need more ppl repeating this on all platforms, watch original content, form your own opinions, know them firsthand not thru sb's edits🙏

Thanks. I posted this here, on IG, and on TT! Doing my best. 😉

I would post your sage advice every day to my TL if I could. I've seen so many baby ARMY waste so much time believing utter garbage bc they were brainwashed by the "manipulators" who put out certain narratives. TY for this. 💜

What is she addressing? Where is the huh how coming from?

I was talking about how many people didn't recognize the word Taegi when I said who my biases were.

It makes sense on TikTok. 😆

Clips and reels and edits create false narratives. Just watch the original content and actually take what BTS says at face value. Please don't watch the edit of a Midwestern housewife with non-BTS background music alleging all sorts crazy delusions.😅🤣😬😮‍💨

100%

that video before this one is how I realized my hispanic ass gives a very different pronunciation to taegi even tho this one makes sense lol I am a late 2023 army idk if I am still baby army but I would also had been very confuse even tho I freacking love Taegi

Fact.

@hyyhddaeng jebal!!!

One of the best true info is the official biography; Beyond The Story. Read it & gets all the correct details without the drama & ragebait.
