I N T R O D U C T I O N:

On Twitter there’s a big dilema right now revolving around: antis, slander, apparent fanwars and K-ARMYs. Tha hashtag #Please_Apologize is a hastag that is trending by the I-ARMYs and also, if you scroll through the lastest tab of the tag, many other kpop names will arise. [The biggest one of all is EXO-L (EXO’s fandom)].

F O R  W H O  I S  D I R E C T E D  T H I S  H A S H T A G ?:

Is it directed at anyone specifically? Yes, this hashtag is directed at antis, not at any particular fandom; this is not a fanwar. It’s a web of false claims, haters, real life instances and people who fail to love themselves.

S U M M A R Y:

This hashtag was one made by K-ARMYs after the Korean version failed. The reason why they are asking I-ARMY to spread this hashtag has nothing to do with fanwars on Twitter or any other social media. This is about real life verbal, emotional and illegal attcks some other fandoms have done not only on K-ARMY but also on BTS themselves.

Being sent a threat on Twitter and in real life face to faceare two totally different situations.

All this started when BTS succeeded with their first win with I NEED U. The sudden win instantly put BTS and ARMYs on the top of other fandoms lists of competition to watch. Whether it was because they felt threatened or not we don’t have proof but suddenly there were rumours and fake scandals being spread about BTS or ARMY to make a small mistake and then explode it,as if they’ve committed murder.

Not only did this make ARMYs insecure about themselves, it also spread to big people in Korea who then had a twisted perspective of BTS. That’s why in some interviews with people who have met BTS they said things like “They weren’t what I expected, they were really nice kids”, those celebrities were expecting the boys in the rumours. This is called defamation, it is illegal and these antis can very much be sued for their actions, some of them have already been sued by BigHit.

H O W  D I D  I T  B E C O M E  A S  A  F A N W A R ?

EXO-L is a huge and loyal fanbase, just as ARMY, so this two fanbases trend to crash when it comes to prideful people. These are the people that have been influenced by antis, believing that ARMY has only bad things to offer.

In korea, the K-ARMYs have been dealing with these fanwars resulting from antis for years now. The tension is super high at the moment, which is why they’re speaking up, and why the hashtag therefore trended.

W H A T   Y O U  N E E D  T O  T A K E  O U T  O F  T H I S :

-  Antis are to blame for this argument.

- Firing back at other fanbases only makes things worse.

- Drama, chaos and problems in general are what antis want.

- Don’t give it to them. Represent ARMY and BTS with love.

- It’s okay to post under the hashtag #Please_Apologize

- Just know who you’re asking for an apoplogy.
