Talk! with ARMY episodes

  • Episode 41: Paving The Way

    BTS paving the way is not only a fact but it's been a hot topic in the fandom for years ever since the start of BTS' global takeover in 2017. Despite this, it is the most misunderstood discourse in the entire Kpop community. Surprised at ourselves for not yet making an episode on it, we sought to rectify that! Come join us as we discuss what exactly it means to pave the way, how BTS is doing it, and why the things they have achieved can be credited to nobody in the Korean music industry but themselves.

  • Episode 40: The Problems With Gatekeeping

    Gatekeeping has been a recent hot topic in the fandom with the rise of Tik Tok ARMYs gatekeeping BTS' music from locals and the backlash that they received by Twitter ARMYs for doing so. Come join us in this episode as we talk about what gatekeeping is, why it's bad to gatekeep BTS' music, and the impact it can have on not just the potential fans they can get, but also the reputation of ARMYs as a whole.

  • Episode 38: The ex-ARMY to Anti Pipeline
    Ex-ARMYs are a topic we've covered before, but with the rise of so many ex-ARMYs going from just not being a fan of BTS anymore to straight-up hating them in the span of years (or even months), we thought it was time to address it. Come join us as we discuss this peculiar phenomenon, the problems these people cause, and the multiple different ways people can descend down the pipeline without realizing it.

  • Episode 37: BTS vs Racism

    We've briefly touched upon the problems that BTS has faced in the process of becoming the world's biggest music group in a handful of earlier episodes, but there are a lot more layers to this conversation than people think. Join us as we discuss the racism and xenophobia targeted towards BTS, the lack of solidarity from most non-ARMYs, and how BTS' experience fits into the larger issue of anti-Asian discrimination across the globe.
