Okay, so the BTS tour list has come... And India isn't listed... YET.
The list already has cities that are TOTALLY new from most kpop world tours. AND at the bottom right, it says 'more dates coming 2027'. 2027 is still there to save money.
Now I still see lots of posts saying 'BTS don't come to India, it's not safe'. And some of those people are sharing their relief that they aren't coming. Which I understand and will not deny (a lot of hell has happened lately). But I don't doubt the power of ARMYs.
There's fear of celebs pretending to be ARMYs attending the concert for free. But HYBE is probably not going to get influencers for this bc this is a huge money-making opportunity and everyone knows how crazy ticket wars get. Then again I'm not sure. I also recall, when I went to the Golden exhibition, there weren't any influencers, just ARMYs. It could also be the time slot I had (mid-afternoon) but I think when it comes to clout chasing anyone can come at any time. The management over there was also well-trained and did a good job. So I would say that the management here will not disappoint again.
As for worry that haters will do something, an Indian purple ribbon project has already been established. I follow the account of one of those ARMYs who organised it, she shares constant updates about it. I also think the population factor is an advantage. I'm not proud of the fact that India is the most populated country in the world, but in this case, it means there is a huge population of ARMYs in India itself. If we worked together, WE'D BE UNSTOPPABLE.
As for now, I'm only happy about the fact that I can get another year to save up (meaning earn) money.
