More details of the schedule will be shared soon. Until then, get your first shot.'
It trends on Twitter the whole day. A concert for their anniversary was a huge deal.
April 4th: Jimin posts a picture on Twitter with a message, 'I can't wait to see you army.' A twitter post that accumulated 2.5m likes, 500k retweets and 200k comments in less than 24 hours. Armys couldn't resist to retweet and comment the songs they wanted BTS to play at the concert. Louder than bombs being one of them.
April 5th: news gets leaked that BlackPink had also been invited to share the stage with BTS but they were not going to anymore.
All Hell break loose.
The real reason was the venue will be too small to occupy Armys and Blinks at the same time. In addition, putting the two top fandoms together really didn't seem ideal.
However, no one from the two agencies addressed the issue fast enough and the fans decided to take it upon themselves to handle the matter. It got chaotic.
Blink were furious.
Armys were defensive.
It was a war on the twitter streets.
It would have been ok had the fights remained innocent. If only frustrations were expressed in an understandable manner because it was an understandable situation. However, It became even more toxic.
Under Jimin's recent post, toxic fans and antis camped there for the night. They left death threats, demeaning statements, insulting and just downright hurtful comments.
The number of comments rose up to 800k and atleast 500k of them were against the #It-Boy's existence.
You know it has blown out of proportion when negative harsh tags starts trending on twitter.
