We were friends for almost three years, and then we stopped talking because I left the school and joined a new one. She was actually an amazing friend, and we made so many beautiful memories together. Recently, I got her new number, and slowly we started talking again. While we were talking, she sent me this JK sticker, so I asked her if she still supports BTS. She asked why, and I told her the reason. I also recommended this sub to her because it has a lot of information about their scandals that ARMYs have tried to sweep under the rug. I told her that whenever she gets some free time, she could have a look at the sub and maybe she'd understand what I was talking about.
Then she replied with these two video links trying to prove BTS's innocence. I really didn't want to argue with her, especially since we had only recently reconnected. On top of that, I know she can be quite stubborn and territorial about her personal beliefs, so I'd rather respect her boundaries as a friend than hurt our friendship over an argument. I just gave her a very simple reply.
I only hope that one day she sees things for herself. It honestly made me realize how badly BTS and HYBE have manipulated and brainwashed their fans into defending them no matter what.
The translation
Jk's sticker
Me - Dude, do you still support BTS?
Fri - Why?
Me - Because they have a lot of bad scandals that ARMYs tried to hide, but couldn't. Do you have reddit?
Fri - Don't worry about that, I've properly investigated all their scandals. No, we have discussions in ARMY groups on X and Telegram.
Me - Ohh, okay okay If you had Reddit, I would've told you to check out the r/btssnark group. But what exactly did you investigate?
Fri - I don't have time to look into this sub and I investigate about this recent concert.
Fri - They may be at fault they're human too but mostly it's other fandoms trying to drag them down.
Me - What investigation have you done on that concert. I know, but how can they support someone who hurts women like that? And wasn't RM always saying that he is a feminist?
Me - If you get some free time just give that sub a look and you will understand
Fri - Sends two links. Whenever I get free time, I spend it studying. And for entertainment, I barely even have time because I have to reply to everyone.
Fri - We're not namseok themselves and there r multiple views to one story. We should better not judge bcz we're believing what is shown to us..... How far ik them I'll trust them, they are humans and they may make mistakes which is completely normal, just for a few controversy I'll not stop loving the people who made me such an amazing human today. Especially oder songs and view in life helped me stand where I am so if you ask me I'll love them anyway
Hope you got your answer 🤗
Me - It's okay dear I won't argue with you just for this, our opinions can be different but I think we should respect each other's opinion and with that I respect your opinion and it's okay if you love or support them that's totally fine and I...I'm neutral about them they were once a part of my journey and a chapter that is closed now and memories will always be cherished regardless and you are absolutely right studies come first no matter what but looking at both sides matters a lot as well doesn't it? And if by looking at both the sides you come to these conclusion then I appreciate your investigation and respect it. As I need the same thing and got a lot of info from reddit that's the reason I told you to check that out. But at the end of the day our our way of thinking will be different ✌🏻
I did. I'd say it was a pleasure but we both know better
