Youtuber on Pann says they'll publicize BTS' collab with right-ring Japanese

Pann: I'm a Youtuber and I'm warning Big Hit in advance

(Pann OP is a Youtuber with a lot of foreign subscribers. OP is demanding that if BTS does work with the right-wing Japanese, they'll make videos on it and try to make it a big controversy.)

1. [+331, -7] Fans can be scarier than antis if they turn their backs.

2. [+282, -6] Please make precise videos on Japanese right-wing, rising sun flag, and their relation with the Nazi. A lot of international Armys don't seem to understand why Korean Armys are reacting like this. Please make comparisons with the Nazi.

3. [+196, -4] Seeing their announcement on the audition, I think they've gone insane by capitalism. They seem to have forgotten their roots.

4. [+98, -0] The reason why BTS became popular is because of their lyrics mostly. In the US, the lyrics are always about sex and sleeping with lovers but BTS sings about youth, dreams, and self-esteem. But now they'll be singing right-wing lyrics.

5. [+93, -1] It's Big Hit vs. Armys. We have to teach Bang Si Hyuk a lesson.

6. [+93, -5] I'm an Army but if they get confirmed to work with the right-wing, I think I'll leave the fandom... I can't continue to stan them.

7. [+87, -11] I'm not giving up on BTS, I'm only going to criticize Big Hit.

8. [+85, -3] Pann isn't some unpopular website ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Pann is the most influential community site, we need to keep publicizing this.

9. [+64, -0] Please also make videos on how the current Japanese people are ignorant of the history... The way they distort the history is too much.

Should BTS be exempt from the military service like Son Heung Min?

Article: "Son Heung Min can but BTS can't... What's the criteria?"

Source: Choson Ilbo via Naver

1. [+17870, -2014] Celebrities can easily have a comeback after a 21-month hiatus. But if sports stars take a 21-month hiatus, it's hard for them to recover their sports skills. Also, their competitors might take their spots during the hiatus.

2. [+12275, -1473] Go to bed instead of writing a stupid article like this ㅋㅋㅋ Stop reaching, you think Son Heung Min and BTS are the same? What did BTS do for the nation?

3. [+6663, -249] Why is this mentioning Son Heung Min? Son Heung Min didn't get exempt because he's Son Heung Min, he's exempt because he won a gold medal.

4. [+5693, -192] BTS is a business form for personal profits but sports is a category that represents Korea. What is this crap?

5. [+5712, -220] PSY: I enlisted twice.

6. [+2668, -61] BTS did enhance national prestige in some ways, but they're commercial singers. Their only purpose is business profits, not national profits. If you think BTS is bringing foreign currencies, then what about the workers of major companies that do a lot of exports? Stop talking nonsense. Hallyu was already established and BTS is doing well, don't interrupt BTS like this.

7. [+1885, -52] Son Heung Min is a national player who gets paid by the nation. BTS is artists who get paid by their private enterprise.

8. [+1658, -57] I'm a guy and I like BTS, but this isn't right ㅋㅋ Sports players and singers are different. If BTS get exempt, then what about other singers? What should be the criteria for military service exemption? Charting on the billboard? That doesn't make sense because the billboard chart might be influential but it's still an American chart whereas the Asian Games and the Olympics are global competitions.

How EXO, BTS, and Wanna One fans support their groups

Pann: EXO/BTS/Wanna One fans' ways to love

EXO fans vote
BTS fans buy albums
Wanna One fans comment on Naver articles
-

1. [+81, -32] You can't help but buy BTS' albums ㅋㅋㅋ Every song is legendary and to think how the members produced all of them.

2. [+39, -0] If there's a fandom that does all of that, no one would be able to beat the fandom...

3. [+29, -1] They're quite unique in their own ㅋㅋㅋ

4. [+22, -27] For singers, BTS fans are the most beneficial way.

5. [+20, -4] Yes. For ARMYs, they're not really interested in voting compared to the size of the fandom. They also hate Naver because of many reasons. They just listen to BTS in their rooms.

6. [+17, -0] Comments on Naver articles are extremely effective to the brand value. Wanna One gained a lot of fans from their Naver Cast fancams. That's why the fans are interested in Naver.

7. [+14, -0] I'm an ARMY but a lot of times, I get frustrated at how we're not doing any voting, even on the official fancafe. For Naver, we only like articles instead of commenting. So our articles are the most liked articles but the number of comments is really small. I like how we buy a lot of physical albums, though. We're still selling the debut album well.

8. [+14, -1] So funny how true this is ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

3. [+1508, -415] Honestly, I used to have a negative view on idols but I reflected after seeing how hard they worked to become artists and how I was ignoring their hard-work. I really enjoy BTS' music. I'm not a fan but as a casual listener of BTS, I feel proud. I hope they do well.

4. [+1228, -195] Looking forward to see EXO's Power

5. [+552, -61] EXO's song was #1 on voting, I can't wait ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Power and World Cup match well ㅋㅋㅋ

Pann: Top 10 physical sales in the US in the first half of 2018

1. [+53, -0] Two most sold non-English albums in the US in the first half of 2018 are BTS' Fake Love and DNA.

2. [+50, -0] I'm really proud. They're ranked with such big artists with Korean albums, amazing.

3. [+40, -0] They sold a lot, amazing ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Isn't the album in Korean, too?

4. [+16, -0] I wonder what this is... Do they mean that 1.91M is the worldwide physical sales?

5. [+16, -0] ARMYs barely promote their results. If this was a group from a different company, the company would've made a fuss... They're quiet because their achievements are a wall.

6. [+15, -0] BTS is even dominating Melon chart...

YG uses BTS to media-play Blackpink?

Pann: YG media-plays that BTS charted on the billboard by SNS and Blackpink charted on the billboard by music quality

1. [+627, -10] If you can chart on the billboard by SNS, I should be charted too since I'm on SNS a lot.

2. [+554, -4] They can just talk about Blackpink charting on the billboard, why mention BTS....

3. [+534, -6] If all of BTS' achievements are done by SNS, then you don't have to make music and just use SNS to chart on the billboard and advance into AMA!

4. [+287, -4] "You guys are the one that benefited from the media, hahahaha" - BTS' Airplane pt.2

5. [+273, -5] So funny, does Yang Hyun Suk have something against BTS? ㅋㅋㅋ On Blackpink's Spotify profile, they introduce Blackpink and mention BTS. There are Blackpink ads in BTS' Fake Love MV. He's trying to ride on BTS' popularity ㅋㅋㅋㅋ And he's doing dirty media-play, too. He overstates Blackpink's MV views and understates BTS' views and writes articles. And now we also have this stupid article ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Why won't he leave BTS alone? YG is so annoying.

Japanese media claims BTS' chart result is manipulated by Korean government?

Pann: Japanese articles claim BTS' chart result is manipulated by the Korean government

1. [+95, -0] They think Korea has power to control American charts as if we're the number one country... Like I said, Armys, any fan, or any artist should never use phrases like "national pick". It's dangerous and should never be used to mention celebrities. It's the best not to be associated with politics.

2. [+53, -0] Just ignore them. They claimed Kim Yuna and PSY's successes were also manipulated by the government.

3. [+35, -0] They hate it enough how K-pop and Korean idols do well in other countries, and now that we have a global artist, they have enough reasons to be jealous. The Japanese market is said to be the second biggest market but there's no Japanese artist that's as global as Korean artists. They might want to deny it but BTS also charted #1 in Japan. Is it also a manipulation? It's a foreign artist that was also #1 in their country. Americans will be baffled to hear claims of Billboard chart manipulations.

4. [+10, -0] I'm not a fan but I hope BTS does even better and become much more successful so that those Japanese kids will never be able to say anything like that again. I hope they'll see how Korean idols are much more talented than Japanese idols.

5. [+8, -0] Shouldn't we be upset together instead of calling it a troll post? It's just their jealousy.
