Pero que seamos realmentes ARMY no soy mucho de tiktok pero lo voy hacer por los chicos, hacerme más activa en esta aplicación para apoyarlos ojalá más se unan
I never understood those that get upset at influencers promoting a new catchy choreo over the official one. In the end it still benefits BTS. TikTok armys are so behind that its ridiculous
I think army should have a big tiktok team (pro editors, content creaters,...) to create more BTS songs' trends. The old BTS's songs are so good, they need to be viral.
I think this is a good idea! We have big accounts that organise streaming and voting, and some even doing army projects like songs and short films, maybe there should be one that specifically focuses on tiktok. I am not volunteering bc I am not a creator and not even on tiktok lol, I just think it's a great ida
Well. As first, we need someone has good reputation (has experience working on social media) in the fandom to be a founder/ leader for the campaign. Then, we need to cast for the army volunteers divided into different teams such as content creaters, talents (who will record the videos and be on the videos, it would be better if they were already have "some" followers on tiktok), video editors, broadcasters.etc. Army on X, Instagram and Tiktok help advertise the campaign to all over the army to make them follow the campaign and spread out the BTS trends. When they became trends, people using tiktok would follow the trends and it helped increase the BTS listeners monthly.
it's difficult to stop some armys or fans to gatekeep. i saw this one thread saying that the more mainstream something is, the cringe it gets. or the more niche something is the cooler it seems. probably why a lot gatekeeps bts music, they want to be "the cool kids".
@@iianebb_0613that’s been a thing since Dope too. Like it’s been 7 years, and people still wanna shut people out from BTS for the sake of being cool. The way life’s set up, most k-pop fans aren’t cool at the moment even still, so what’s the point in this 😂
29:30 "STOP GATEKEEPING AND ACCEPT THE RANDOM INTERESTS"‼ say it louder for the people in the back bora. im a BTS editor on TT and i ALWAYS see ARMYs gatekeeping BTS songs whenever someone who isnt ARMY uses the song BUT THOSE SAME ARMYs would constantly rant abt how they want their fav underrated BTS song to gain recognition.. its so weird..😭😭
I badly want those tiktok Armys to see this.. everything bora said is actually so right and even when we try to correct them we would be the one who gets backlash from these kids smh.
Maybe you can comment nicely to those tiktok Armys to let them know . For example something like "Hey this is a good edit and I really like it but maybe you can use BTS songs instead since it is about BTS members. I recommend this (insert BTS song name that suits the video) or any BTS songs that you think suit your videos, it can help promote their songs too"... I comment something like this once or twice and if they still don't take the advice I just let it go because forcing them will just makes them mad and more ego.
@@aisyahomar2516 Agree, I think the best thing Army can do is be polite to others showing interest in BTS - a lot of these TikTok folks probably have no idea about these things, and it doesn't help if they get snotty or gatekeepy comments telling them what they are doing wrong which will just turn them off. Boracity's tone is great, it's educational without being superior or irritating.
I've recently seen "Boy in Luv" and "Just One Day" go viral, in addition to Black Swan's timeless instrumental. I think one of the things that prevent tiktok armys from achieving results is a somewhat emotional factor, we are very attached to the philosophy of appreciating BTS's music as a work of art (which is true) so I get upset when I see people listening to the songs without knowing the meaning, I saw a video of a non-army with outro:tear as if it were a baddass song when in fact the lyrics are sad and have a heavy meaning. I think that at least during the hiatus, we have to leave sentimentality aside and think about the numbers, because that's what we have now. Also, the video mentions the edits, I saw a lot of non-BTS related edits with Namjoon's verse on "All Night", and when people asked what was song because they found Namjoon's voice attractive, armys responded rudely or spam the comments and guys... this only harms the boys instead of helping them
oh gosh are you sure they were army they sound more like anti's to me. instead of one nice army answering the question politily and other's simply giving it a thumb up heart. or where they kids who don't know how to behave politely?
@@eileencritchley4630 I think tiktok has a lot of misinformation, and many baby armys end up consuming this type of content, this results in some armys acting like children
Please spread her videos out to those babies. If someone wants to know how to YT or know who Army is, Boracity Magazine channel! Especially the Army ones. The teenagers and kids that came in recently really don't get how to Army.
ARMY is a fandom filled with superfans to the brim. The past traumas of both ARMY and BTS being cyberbullied by other fandoms and mocked by the general public have created a tendency of gatekeeping BTS from them all. I have recently read a post that said that it's unfair that general public is allowed to attend BTS concerts, and I was like, wait... BTS is literally the biggest band in the world, why do you think it's strange for general public to want to go to their concerts? I also think it might be because BTS never mention general public and instead address everyone who goes to their concerts as "ARMY". They also genuinely view ARMY as their friends and share their sincere feelings with us, so of course superfans feel like locals in the audience don't deserve to be included in that. That kind of mentality spreads to all platforms, including TikTok. This is both our strength and our weakness, because the music industry ends up viewing us more as a kind of a cult than music listeners. So, thank you for this video! I have learned something new from it! I'll make sure to share it on all platforms.
Nicely said. Army's (and BTS') greatest weakness is the public perception that it's a scary cult that attacks anyone who steps wrong. Anything that can be done to help against that will only benefit the band.
21:10 Oh my god yes! I have noticed this so many times. I will never understand why people make BTS edits but use other artists' songs. BTS got so so so many great songs that are suitable to a lot of situations and vibes. It is such a wasteful opportunity to promote more of their songs. Thank you Boracity for talking about this. I hope more Tik Tok Armys will learn something and let's work together. I also have been commenting to other TikTok Armys like 'You have such good BTS edited videos but maybe you can use BTS songs as a background to promote them at the same time." But I don't want them to feel like I'm giving criticism so I only do it once in a while. But I think the whole strategy is BE NORMAL. That's why I love Boracity magazine videos because the comment sections are filled mostly with normal Army who can accept different opinions and the will to discuss and learn something new.
I don't really use Tiktok or make edits, but I can think of a few things for non-BTS edits that could work quite well, like Namjoon's "Today we fight" intro from Not Today could quite easily work for TV Show edits, especially with the incoming influx of fantasy fighting shows coming now like PJO and ATLA, Airplane Part 2's instrumental could easily work for runway moments (think of Jungkook at MAMA 2018), we could even get Mic Drop in for "did you see my bag" for shopping hauls. We can get creative with it, and as long as we don't gatekeep things and don't make it weird, we can really use the general public to our advantage
That's not weird, and that's how a lot of people become fans of new things on tiktok. Army's are the only ones that think its weird and cleary we're struggling on tiktok. Just let people live and act normal. Stop this "only bts" cult mentality. It scares off the general public.
Sometime ago a lot of Armys were pushing for virality on Tiktok. We contacted so called Army accounts n asked if they could use BTS songs in BTS edits. U know what they replied "BTS songs don't fit with my accounts aesthetic" or "I don't like this song so I won't use it". So what exactly do u like about BTS to proudly call urself Armys. Their faces?? How do u call urself a fan with 0 attchment to their music that they live n breathe for. Even if there r songs that i may not vibe with I always respect n admire their work bcoz I know what has went into it. Like how do u become a fan of musicians when u don't like their music.
Great analysis, you are speaking the true about how the fandom sabotaged songs and the hard work the boys do, just for jealousy, we need to be unite and stream all the songs since the beginning until the last record as a group, also individual work, if we want to support the boys and if we want their recognition as artists 💜💪🏻 Bangtan forever!!
I think TikTok is very vast and wild, and you can't control what happens there, especially in the comment section. People comment whatever without thinking. It's the only social platform that we will never get on our side unless we organize it right. Your video is a good start.
however, we need to change our mindset. On Twitter, ARMYs used to discourage famous people from mentioning BTS, claiming they were using BTS for clout. That almost turned out to be a big mistake. Despite Twitter being our main platform, we didn't fail to promote them there. Posts from big ARMY accounts played a crucial role in preventing it.
Hello! Just wanted to tell you how much I admire your ability to collate information and references for topics that are so informative for, not just army, but people who might be new or wondering about BTS and the world we live in, on these topics that many aren't aware of or are to afraid to talk about. Again, thank you for the time and effort you put into all of your videos! APOBANGPO!💜
What a great essay once again! Unfortunately, as an old ARMY, I won't be using TikTok anytime soon, but at least what you pointed out about comments are applicable elsewhere. I cringe so hard at some of the bot-like comments seen here on RUclips, and I can only imagine it's as bad elsewhere. And your suggestions for songs that can be used for certain moods were spot on! 💜
This whole message is so true because despite being global artist BTS still feels very underground compared to other big artist like Justin Bieber Rihanna or Beyonce. As soon as you get out of the kpop sphere, when it comes to the general public nodody can even name one of their songs appart from Dynamite or Butter, wich is bad cause those song dont even represent their discography well. We dont know how to promotes on tiktok and thats unfortunate, if the other fandom do something well its use their faves songs on many videos
honestly i've realized that majority of the army tiktokers are teenagers,and this definitely plays a major role in this, but i hope we can do better as a fandom,as always your insight is spot on
As influential as your channel is, we're not going to have enough of an effect unless we organize and collaborate. I've said this about the socio-political activism that BTS has encouraged, too. A coalition of your subscribers needs a Discord, or maybe a subreddit, to gather and talk about these things and cover all the bases.
All armys from tiktok need to watch this. I noticed how in every non related bts tiktok that has bts music in it, has comments talking about bts only. This frustrates me so much.
The problem is that TikTok armys don't like you to tell them anything like this. And they especially don't like when you ask why they don't use BTS songs for their videos (99% of the time it's music from another artist). They kinda remind me of Instagram armys in that regard.
True like once I saw a BTS edit on Instagram with a random kpop song the song got nothing to do with the video so I ask her to make edits on BTS songs and she jumped on me Calling me toxic 😭
I have that experience too but I think you should compliment their videos first and subtlely give advice. For example "Hey I have been watching your videos and I love it! I like this edit so much, but I think it will be suitable to use (insert BTS song) but it is just advice, ignore me if it's weird lol" or directly tell them like "you make such a good BTS video and have lots of followers and I assume you are an ARMYs too? I heard that it will help BTS in charts if you use BTS songs more in TikTok videos so I think you are one of the best people to do that subtle promo but of course, it's purely friendly advice, I still watch your video tho". I only comment on this once in a while because of course forcing them will just make them ego and mad and if they just ignore it, I just let it go and think they don't care.
A new ‘BTS’ video essay! Hey, Bora I want to say thank you for uploading such amazing and well structured content over the course of this year. You really have inspired me to focus on changing my content and even improving it. Thank you again lots, and I hope in the New Year you will continue to upload good content like this! God bless, and have a blessed day.
I feel the need to say something, based on all the comments about not being able to do edits or thinking that tik tok is a dance type app or only for teens. Army, tik tok is for everyone. ANY topic, anything you can think of, you’ll find on there. If you have any hobby at all, I encourage you to post it, and choose a BTS song to play during your video. It can literally be a vid about your cat, or you gardening, showing proper ways to fold laundry, organizing your book shelf, washing your car, baking a cake, painting your house, crocheting, sewing, bathing your pet, cleaning your makeup brushes……literally ANYTHING, no special edits necessary. I’ll regularly be scrolling on my fyp and some random song will be playing and I click the song or Shazam it and it ends up on my apple music. If you choose a BTS songs, others will hear it on your vid, they like it and choose to reuse on their future vid. So, making a “dance” viral to go along with the song is not the only way to spread the music, just simply attaching it to random vids does the trick too.
As a twitter army I tried to do all what you say but the spam of the tiktok users my god I'm like... but I'm trying. If it's a cooking video I'm like" omg that looks so good! Gonna try it" anything like that. Hoping many more follow your advice!
i kinda think that its bc armys from the fisrt six years and from the last ones are really different, we had to study everything in other to do well on the important plataforms at the moment, but the newer ones kinda arrived when it was all done and not all of them participate on the army knowledge already gathered and dont study the newest plataforms, plus the older armys lifestyles have mostly changed, since its been so many years, and cant be as active. thats my shallow take on why we havent conquered tiktok yet, but im sure we can
tt armys always sabotage themselves and often are very clueless about the simpliest things related to bts. and when you ask them to behave like a sane person they go "it's not that serious" lol
Same here , I actually had a edit account but I deleted it . I will open again after my exams are over , Tiktok is banned so I will simply do it in Instagram .
Yo tmb creo que tenemos oportunidad en tiktok pero no la sabemos aprovechar. Seguimos a artistas con una gran discografia y es tan triste ver que en lugar de usar sus canciones y aprovechar de TIKTOK los hundimos. LETS GO ARMY!
Muchas veces las "Armys" de tiktok no ayudan mucho y las que quisiéramos ayudar no sabemos editar, ni somos creativas jajajaja pero después de ver este video trataré de interactuar más en la aplicación con likes y comentarios randoms, la verdad es que no me gusta mucho tiktok, pero haré un esfuerzo
I’ve been saying this to a lot of tiktok armys when bs&t slow dance went viral. They’re sooososo annoying saying “bts don’t need more viral songs, they have enough.” like wtf?😭
Bless you boracity mag for saying all of this, the gatekeeping of BTS on tiktok is so dumb and counterproductive, and not at all how ARMY has been doing things for years. BTS didn't become as big as they are, didn't reach as many people as they have, who went on to become ARMY or casual listeners, from older ARMY gatekeeping them, quite the opposite. In order for Bangtan to soar to new heights, break new records, and become the biggest mainstream artist in the world, they, and especially their music, need to be known, and liked (or at the very least, acknowledged and respected), by the general public too, even if they only like/listen to one of their songs that they heard by chance one time. Can you imagine if earlier ARMYs had gatekept BTS like they were their little secret artist, only for them to know and enjoy? How would so many ARMYs that never cared for kpop before BTS (or who still don't really listen to kpop and the only Korean artist they enjoy is BTS), find their way to Bangtan, do you think your music taste is so *exquisite* and *unique* that you would've organically stumbled across an unknown, unpromoted BTS, Micarah from Arizona? No, the fact that so many of us were able to find them is to an extent due to the ceaseless promotion ARMY did for them , that caused them to blow up in the East and then the West. So, for the love of everything, let BTS reach more people (like they want to). A fanbase is a living, breathing organism, and there's people coming and going all the time. We shouldn't hinder either. Not to mention, BTS's music is amazing and healing and thought-proviking and more people should know what amazing artists they are. Oftentimes, tiktokmys only promote BTS there for their visuals, but locals thirsting over BTS's looks won't bring in streams, their music will.
In my country, tiktok is banned but from what can i see is, tikok armys are needed the amount of good editors they are plus i dont think it will be fun without those funny/hot edits they make. Some of creators are very important like jiminspogostick which also shows voting and hilarious stuff. That specific part is surey needed. Whats not needed are those spammers. Its actually sad how its taking us too much time because of self sabotage
YES, PLEASE!!! I was talking about this TODAY. You're such a queen for this! Here is my contribuition: SHIP EDITS! I can't tell you how many songs I discovered from ship edits and still listen to this day and associate it with a couple I love. It not only help with streams and monthly listeners, but also with playlisting and this will allow fans of a book (booktok is HUGE), movie or tv show that looked for a playlist with that couple's vibes to find their song and make it their faves soundtrack. One of the reasons why Taylor Swift has become so popular in recent years is because she basically became a synonym to romance and don't matter the couple you will find an edit with her song and BTS has the perfect discography for this. SOME IDEAS: 1 - Sad couples: Let Me Know, The Truth Untold, I Need U, Spring Day, Jamais Vu, Closer, Yours, Dear My Friend, Love Me Again, For Us, Shot Glass of Tears. 2 - Happy couples: Just One Day, Dimple, Euphoria, Make It Right, Mikrokosmos, It's Definitely You, SDL, Promise, With You, Sweet Night, Yes or No. 3 - We can use our fan songs and the songs the members dedicated to one another for found family/friendship edits: 2,3; Young Forever, Magic Shop, For Youth, My You, WAB: The Eternal, On The Street, The Astronaut, My Universe, Lights. 4 - For badass/hot edits: Run BTS, Mic Drop, DDAENG, N.O, Sexy Nukim, Daechwita, Dope, Fire, Not Today, Singularity, Set Me Free pt. 2, Burn It. 5 - Black Swan and Lie are perfect songs for those "the beauty of [blank]" videos that showcases the cinematography of tv shows and movies. 6 - Travel vlogs (helped a lot in making Seven go viral): Basically all of Mono, Indigo and Layover. 7 - And with holiday season we can post about our Christmas using the holiday remixes + Christmas Love, Snow Flower, Christmas Tree, etc. They literally have a song for everything, let's make use of them! 8 - Bad Decisions, Telepathy, the english trilogy and Hope World are perfect for funny or happy edits. And if the app is not available in your country, you can use other platforms: There's plenty of people who post fanvideos here on RUclips, fancams of tv shows are popular on Twitter and Instagram. You can also make a Spotify playlist for your favorite couples or something like "pov: you're the main character in a fantasy book" or "pov: the villain falls in love with you", add other artists you like to not scare people away but always include 1 or 2 BTS/members songs in it. We have the fandom power and we have amazing songs, we just need to want it and it will happen!
omg ur so smart for this !!! this needs to be top/pinned comment cause this is a good idea T_T also bts have such aesthetic, romantic plus such good lyricism which I think shippers esp love to utilise omg
@@horridgeek Exactly! We can add the lyrics/translations in the video to help people get more interested. Personally, I believe The Truth Untold, Euphoria, Just One Day and House of Cards have HUGE VIRAL POTENTIAL and they fit with so many couples, especially book ones. We can also pay attention when a movie/tv show gets popular and try to find songs that match it to hop on the trend.
@@samhavilliard omg huge emphasis on truth untold and house of cards they both have that moody and w hoc that sexy vibe tt would EAT UP omg esp combined w the lyrics 😄
@@samhavilliard ooh esp mixed w an audio I’ve noticed them go viral esp what I don’t get is army editors who edit even bts lore CONNECTED TO THEIR MUSIC will never use their music ever…like they could easily trend emotional songs the way they do w mitski + hyyh yoonkook…
didnt a Justin Beiber x Selena gomez edit go viral a while ago with yes or no by jk playing in the background? so you're 100% right in saying yes or no definitely has viral potential for more ship edits
Это видео обязательно стоит посмотреть всем Арми, использующим TikTok! Спасибо Boracity за создание таких прекрасных видео-работ! Надеюсь, этот канал наберёт популярность и поможет нашему фандому стать ещё более продуктивным к возвращению BTS из армии!!💜
TikTok is a great platform for the idols that want to use it. Jungkook is the most active on there, he owns it, he has a lot of fun creating his own content and watching others. It is great how engaging Jungkook is with his audience, he enjoys interacting with the fans the most which is highly appreciated ♥️
yessss - i don't even have a tiktok account, but whenever i go on to see a random video the comments really put me off (another one is the 'omg i came bc jungkook liked this' comment - like you said, just like the first comment that says it and move on). i appreciate the work you did for coming up with some great ideas to get bts on non-army tiktok - but can i just say you absolutely slayed for 25:33 - 28:02 . all the songs were soooo good for the vibes. a+++ army social media manager right there.
This was much needed.. I know we are proud of our boys and therefore get overtly excited when some random person knows a bts song.. but spamming the comments just doesn't help..and also hate comments on random people's tiktok or Instagram reels is not helping us.. general public already thinks army is just crazy teenagers and we are giving them what they want...let's be more respectful unless there is unnecessary hate towards bts.. Everyone needs to see this vedio🙌
haven't watched the video yet but here to tell ya'll the problem, Alot is happening on Twitter ! Armys are falling into solo narratives that's why a lot of ot7 army accounts are being deleted! Armys are falling into solos traps! Solos are trending disgusting things about other members and big army accounts are being cancelled! I just want armys to please trust each other till tannies come back! Please hold on to each other,... and don't listen to haters/antis/solos, solos are a big problem right now in our fandom!
they're trying to divide us, and we're just letting them by either falling into their narrative or complaining then doing nothing about it. for some reason armys have had a infatuation with accusing ot7 accs of being diet solos & chasing them off twt then doing nothing about the actual shameless solos, or harassing an innocent ot7 army and making them delete their innocent tweet because solos found it and said disgusting things in the replies/qrts, but not doing anything about the solos actually at fault. I don't even know how we're gonna get out of this situation because nobody is willing to do anything about it & just blindly follow solos when it fits their narrative, its just insane. the only thing we can do for now is report/block ACTUAL solo accs & trust armys.
PLEASE 🙏🏽 I don’t know how we are going to do it but let’s make this video go viral on RUclips, Twitter and TikTok!! We can do this!!! Because, I have also noticed that the fandom is self sabotaging themselves and BTS regarding TikTok!
20:10 I do have some ideas about this *You cant stop me loving myself* ~Idol by BTS *Ohh I can make it right* ~Make it right by BTS *I'm the one I should love in this world* ~Intro:Serendipity by BTS *I tried a million times to let you go So many memories are on the floor And now I hate the cities I don't belong Just wanna go back home* ~Lonely by RM *You went from my home to It was nice to know you And it breaks my heart That we gave it our best shot Now I'm in California I'm still waiting for ya Will you change your mind? I would give it all up for us* ~For us by V I personally think these are very tiktok friendly and can easily be used
YA! Listo. Agarren todos los ejemplos que aparecen al final del video, piensen en sus series, películas, kdramas favoritos y hagan (hagamos) edits literal con esas canciones. Yo acabo de hacer uno con "Closer than this" y justo Boracity subió este video, lo tomaré como una señal para seguir haciéndolo. Pero de verdad, sus ideas son muy buenas y dado que dijo que ella no quiere hacer videos de tiktok, tomemos esaas ideas nosotras y démosle pa delante porque nunca pa atras!!! Un abrazo moraditas. Borahae 💜🫰🏼
Her every vedio is like that... it surprises me everytime that how informative she is and how so many things are going on which we don't know or aren't paying attention to....
*It depends on what we focus on when we are on Tk, there is a lot of people who only argue about who knows BTS better, who is not updated on the facts regarding BTS and their works. But the choice remains up to us on what and how we want to help our favorites and it doesn't have to be a bad thing if our intent is to help promote BTS music and the band more.💜* *Boracity THANKS for your great insights with each of your videos and for who celebrate CHRISTMAS I WISH YOU HAPPY HOLIDAYS☃️ and be happy and spread good words like BTS taught us.❤*
It's about high time the fandom matures like the boys did. It's so admirable to see the 7 doing all they want without caring what people might think and in a way that destigmatizes a lot of things that k-pop fans would make a fuss about in the past.I feel like we need to let go of this gatekeeping thing because those are 7 mature adults well capable of replying back the haters with army's support rather than us always being on guard and getting defensive about the littlest of criticisms that is at least not hateful. I feel like the tiktok side of fandom(hell maybe some other parts too) has a lot of that gatekeeping attitude and you know getting overpossessive about their fav artist as if BTS should be just their secret like they aren't global stars already. Yes we got a lot of hate and roast for being a toxic 'fandom' but I feel like now we should become a little more laid back and realize our power so as to not engage in meaningless fights with nameless people or say getting toxic over a random person on tiktok using some BTS sound.
Yes this will be very helpful. Armies we need to spread this video to other armies who uses tiktok and have to tell them what could make BTS songs go viral on tiktok. We need to spread this video.
Thank you so much for covering this topic! All the armys who make tiktoks I've some song recommendations which you all can use in skits, dance, covers or anything...! Life goes on Spring day Run I need you Waste it on me Still with you Just one day Idol Equal sign I know
Jungkook euphoria has very high chances of becoming next trending song it's has that viral component but most of the time when someone used the song army's apm the comment about how they used euphoria which icks the influencer away 😮💨
Wonderful video, i personally don't like that app. But this made me think about it... we can trend bts songs there, specially now that the boys are in the military, we should let the general public use bts songs, I'll create an account and try to upload some edits.
Me too. I specifically avoid TikTok due to their users' weird reputation but I made a TikTok account a month ago specifically to support BTS content,..the things we do for BTS lol and you go, I'll support you!
I'm a big sports fan and I often visualize sports highlights in my brain and what BTS song I'd use over it. The problem is that I don't know how to edit and I don't have a TT account. But one of my goals for 2024 is to change both those things. I mean MIC Drop, More, Daechwita etc etc are all just BEGGING to be used in sports highlights. I can do it!
I think we can use the same tips for instagram too it's currently a mess full of cringe reels I hope boracity make one video about army instagram, looking forward to new video 💜
Thank you for the amazing video!! All your points are so so good, I really hope more TikTok ARMYs see this and realize how their behavior is damaging... And thank you for mentioning Lil Huddy, I've been watching his videos for years now and he always did BTS challenges (for example when bwl was released) and so many people commented mean things. I've seen that with so many big TikTokers, there are a few big german TikTokers (all over 1M followers) who also liked BTS but I also feel like they stopped posting videos about it bc the comments are either "omg, you are army???" or "wow, nowadays everyone acts as if they were fans only for the fame", even though they have followed the group for yeaaars. One girl I really like recently posted a TikTok with "Just One Day" as a throwback because she used to love the song so much, but she deleted it, probably bc so many (young?) armys were flooding her comments
As usual, great job on the details and the specifics. Its great to point out that there with tik tok creators and users, the main focus with them is the use of BTS media. Its great that they are using BTS music and sounds to create their own footage, in order to generate that "trend", that allows their music to be loved and possibly listened to by everyone, which includes the new listeners and the non-kpop listeners. Its media that can can become new again, or recycled, depending upon what they are using the media for. You even pointed out that BTS genereated different sounds, music, and media, for anyone, or everyone to use or utilize, in order to entertain, or even expand their name sake recognition or reputation. Well done, and a great job. Keep it up. Enjoy!
Loved the instrumental examples that you gave in the video. They actually inspired me to go make some edits! (I have never made edits!) Loved the video and I hope it gets to TikTok Armys asap!!
I'm sharing this video and show it to the gatekeeping toxic fans who can't stop gatekeeping and being toxic is this the type of stuff that these toxic fans be doing i know I'm not a toxic fan but the amount of disrespect and toxicity and immaturity that these toxic idiots be doing is unnecessary I'm a massive bts fan but i find it funny how these insane people be thinking they own bts or treat them like children they are grown men i don't understand the concepts of people doing this stuff for clout and thinking it's funny I'll always support bts no matter what 🫰🏼🇺🇲💜🇰🇷
Eso es verdad yo conozco gente que les gusta una canción pero apenas se enteran que es de bts y la dejan de escuchar y la verdad la culpa la tiene el propio fandom que no dejan que los descubran ellos mismos
Thank you, Bora. You are amazing!!! I honestly don't have a tik tok account and i don't like tik tok in general... But, i am glad some people are using this app well. I hope this video comes to millions of ARMYS who use tik tok, so that they help our boys instead of sabotaging.
This is really a good take, we should have conquered TikTok by now. Thanks for the tips, I'll repost every video that comes in my recommendation from now on.
Actually BTS have so many songs in so many genres that have ability to go viral more than we ever could think! Their music isn't stuck with one genre they have done almost every kind of music not like other kpop acts collectively! So as Armys we have a very big chance and advantage more than any other fandom to make those songs attracted in tiktok! In my opinion most of Armys really don't care about tt as they only focus on streaming platforms! They casually think that tt trends are so temporary and not worthy! Some think tt is trash! Some think the songs going viral on tt aren't musically rich and even though it's a good song it will surely end up being destroyed by tt! But Armys we have to go with the trend no matter what! Streaming is the main focus of all! That's clear! But still we have to do our part as a fandom in tt also bcz by now tt have literally become one of the most popular platforms! So if tiktokers themselves intentionally or unintentionally help us in promoting bts songs in tt why do we stop them! Plz don't do it! Actually there's no harm to any song as it's going viral it's common but instead the worth of the song may become higher than it was! Make more trends and repost something if you see related to bts like and comment but not about bts or don't go spam them for using bts music or don't feel overwhelmed as you heard a bts song and fill the comment section with things related to bts! Just pretend like you don't know bts and repost it and like it comment something related to the content of the video! Be smart Armys!!!! Don't get blinded by old class opinions you have built in your head! Just throw them away and go with the trend bcz we have to!!! And thank you bora FOR your content I watched it twice it's really worthy watching as you've brought up such smart facts! 💜
Those examples tou gave were so helpful. I was teying to do this with some videos i made on IG bc taes new music is just so vibey. im in esthetics and feel like it could definitely go with so many beauty related content. youve inspired me to keep at it and get ppl exposed to more bts without being too heavy handed
Maybe you should upload a kind of short of your video to reach more people (specially those tik tok armies). This is THE BEST INFORMATION FOR EVERY ARMY!!
You might want to add that some general public fans wont even say they are ARMY because they are embarrassed about how the hardcore fans behave. And that general public fans could even be harassed for being a hater for telling the hardcore ones to stop spamming BTS in the comments.
Thanks for your hardwork in spreading awareness💜 you're a GOAT!!! it's really frustrating when numbers of tiktok gatekeeps the songs or create bts edits using other songs. There's also times that introducing the members are being too much, like writing long essays that will not be read by the locals at all. we should only keep it simple unless the locals ask us to write about them more. i became an army just because of a simple comment to back in 2016. It was simple "check out bts, they do /this genre/ too" also Bora 💜... is there a chance for you to discuss about TOXIC SHIPPERS and how it harms the bts+fandom and breeds more solo/akgaes? 😭...
The edits and instrumentals parts is like my "BTS/ARMY roman empire" I'm on that app fr 😫 Like why is it that hard to understand it's a super easy grassroots promo opportunity on that platform?! Sometimes I'll randomly decide to check an account that has this type of vid pop-up on my FYP and 9 times out of 10 they're a multi (or at lest appear to be) that just does a copy and paste method a bunch of times and just comes off as "messy or trying too hard". We need ARMY ARMYS to start taking over these types of videos on TikTok 🙏💜
I agree with annoying comment and also some people are started fighting in comments box. Sorry but one more thing that I feel annoying is asking users to listening their songs, like "listen their/his dischography, you'll be fan of them/him"
i'd argue that editors should use both bts songs and popular edit audios when making bts edits. because if they're editing bts but following an audio trend the general public could be more likely to get one of those edits on their fyp. and most of the time the edits are FIRE and the guys look great ofc, so naturally people would be more inclined to check them out anyway, especially if someone finds bts through a good edit to a song they already like. editors should be mixing the two though, as i said. editing bts to their own music is obivously needed lol
in dyna ear we had sick ass army promo videos dropping left and right by amazing army editors and we all collectively spammed them everywhere. and it worked! those promo videos were seen by none armys and made the comeback more aware. what we need rn is gather those editors and big accounts together to focus on tiktok and make a FB of some sort, that way we can be more organized. of course we individually all have to do our part still and not depend on them but if we have a huge FB focusing on this it will be much easier to get the word around just like how our voting FBs are promoting the votings going on etc. we need to gather and make sick as edits using BTS songs, instrumentals, etc. and in different topics too. be them about BTS, music, food, pets, nature and everything in between if we can set an example for other armys through this, i think we can do something big. and yeah we really need to figure out tiktok before BTS comeback in 2025.
This is such amazing information that all ARMY should see! If you have ever participated in a way that is described as scaring the general public, please don’t feel negative or upset at this information. As ARMY trying to help BTS, let’s all be willing to take in the big picture and wisdom from other ARMY. Sharing knowledge and learning from each other are some of the major strengths of ARMY. I purple you all! 💜
the amount of bts instrumentals that are literally so tiktok friendly but none of them are being used is the most frustrating thing ive ever seen 😭😭😭
blue side......
fr, now "just one day" is becoming a trend cus of a tiktoker, and tt armys as always doing nothing!!😭
Beautiful instruments too 💜
I want them to go viral soo badly!!! This is definitely frustrating!!
IKRR
We need true armys to be on tiktok
We are there believe me we are on insta ,twitter,tiktok even RUclips but i get what u said tiktok they mainly like act as kpop stans
@@carolynfranklin4865 can you just properly complete the sentence ? don't even understand what you want to say
Pero que seamos realmentes ARMY no soy mucho de tiktok pero lo voy hacer por los chicos, hacerme más activa en esta aplicación para apoyarlos ojalá más se unan
twt armys should be there, they're so: it's bts or nothing
I never understood those that get upset at influencers promoting a new catchy choreo over the official one. In the end it still benefits BTS. TikTok armys are so behind that its ridiculous
@@carolynfranklin4865 stop saying this and we don't care about that . for some toxic army we never can delay group songs
I think army should have a big tiktok team (pro editors, content creaters,...) to create more BTS songs' trends. The old BTS's songs are so good, they need to be viral.
I think this is a good idea! We have big accounts that organise streaming and voting, and some even doing army projects like songs and short films, maybe there should be one that specifically focuses on tiktok. I am not volunteering bc I am not a creator and not even on tiktok lol, I just think it's a great ida
yes to this..we need to coordinate with each other
Well. As first, we need someone has good reputation (has experience working on social media) in the fandom to be a founder/ leader for the campaign. Then, we need to cast for the army volunteers divided into different teams such as content creaters, talents (who will record the videos and be on the videos, it would be better if they were already have "some" followers on tiktok), video editors, broadcasters.etc. Army on X, Instagram and Tiktok help advertise the campaign to all over the army to make them follow the campaign and spread out the BTS trends. When they became trends, people using tiktok would follow the trends and it helped increase the BTS listeners monthly.
new bts songs are just as good.
We have on twt but is hard to keep armys engaging
In other words who ever is not against us is for us. Just let them be and stop gatekeeping.
it's difficult to stop some armys or fans to gatekeep. i saw this one thread saying that the more mainstream something is, the cringe it gets. or the more niche something is the cooler it seems. probably why a lot gatekeeps bts music, they want to be "the cool kids".
@@iianebb_0613that’s been a thing since Dope too. Like it’s been 7 years, and people still wanna shut people out from BTS for the sake of being cool.
The way life’s set up, most k-pop fans aren’t cool at the moment even still, so what’s the point in this 😂
This video needs to go viral on RUclips so army's can understand
29:30 "STOP GATEKEEPING AND ACCEPT THE RANDOM INTERESTS"‼
say it louder for the people in the back bora.
im a BTS editor on TT and i ALWAYS see ARMYs gatekeeping BTS songs whenever someone who isnt ARMY uses the song BUT THOSE SAME ARMYs would constantly rant abt how they want their fav underrated BTS song to gain recognition.. its so weird..😭😭
I badly want those tiktok Armys to see this.. everything bora said is actually so right and even when we try to correct them we would be the one who gets backlash from these kids smh.
Maybe you can comment nicely to those tiktok Armys to let them know . For example something like "Hey this is a good edit and I really like it but maybe you can use BTS songs instead since it is about BTS members. I recommend this (insert BTS song name that suits the video) or any BTS songs that you think suit your videos, it can help promote their songs too"... I comment something like this once or twice and if they still don't take the advice I just let it go because forcing them will just makes them mad and more ego.
@@aisyahomar2516 All they do is get offended
@@aisyahomar2516 i usually do it but yk how they react
@@aisyahomar2516 Agree, I think the best thing Army can do is be polite to others showing interest in BTS - a lot of these TikTok folks probably have no idea about these things, and it doesn't help if they get snotty or gatekeepy comments telling them what they are doing wrong which will just turn them off. Boracity's tone is great, it's educational without being superior or irritating.
I've recently seen "Boy in Luv" and "Just One Day" go viral, in addition to Black Swan's timeless instrumental. I think one of the things that prevent tiktok armys from achieving results is a somewhat emotional factor, we are very attached to the philosophy of appreciating BTS's music as a work of art (which is true) so I get upset when I see people listening to the songs without knowing the meaning, I saw a video of a non-army with outro:tear as if it were a baddass song when in fact the lyrics are sad and have a heavy meaning. I think that at least during the hiatus, we have to leave sentimentality aside and think about the numbers, because that's what we have now. Also, the video mentions the edits, I saw a lot of non-BTS related edits with Namjoon's verse on "All Night", and when people asked what was song because they found Namjoon's voice attractive, armys responded rudely or spam the comments and guys... this only harms the boys instead of helping them
oh gosh are you sure they were army they sound more like anti's to me. instead of one nice army answering the question politily and other's simply giving it a thumb up heart. or where they kids who don't know how to behave politely?
@@eileencritchley4630 I think tiktok has a lot of misinformation, and many baby armys end up consuming this type of content, this results in some armys acting like children
nah tiktok armys are just a bunch of kpop stans who dont give a shit abt bts
oh gosh a polite answer is so much better however if those where anti's they'll be rude rather than helpful.
@@herondaless Now that wouldn't suprise me one bit.
Your videos are like a thesis they should use in universities or to baby Armies to study about BTS and how to just behave as a fandom.
Please spread her videos out to those babies. If someone wants to know how to YT or know who Army is, Boracity Magazine channel!
Especially the Army ones. The teenagers and kids that came in recently really don't get how to Army.
So true !
Her videos are helping me a lot to learn more about BTS. I got interested in them this year btw. I'm loving getting to know more about them.
ARMY is a fandom filled with superfans to the brim. The past traumas of both ARMY and BTS being cyberbullied by other fandoms and mocked by the general public have created a tendency of gatekeeping BTS from them all. I have recently read a post that said that it's unfair that general public is allowed to attend BTS concerts, and I was like, wait... BTS is literally the biggest band in the world, why do you think it's strange for general public to want to go to their concerts? I also think it might be because BTS never mention general public and instead address everyone who goes to their concerts as "ARMY". They also genuinely view ARMY as their friends and share their sincere feelings with us, so of course superfans feel like locals in the audience don't deserve to be included in that. That kind of mentality spreads to all platforms, including TikTok. This is both our strength and our weakness, because the music industry ends up viewing us more as a kind of a cult than music listeners. So, thank you for this video! I have learned something new from it! I'll make sure to share it on all platforms.
Nicely said. Army's (and BTS') greatest weakness is the public perception that it's a scary cult that attacks anyone who steps wrong. Anything that can be done to help against that will only benefit the band.
21:10 Oh my god yes! I have noticed this so many times. I will never understand why people make BTS edits but use other artists' songs. BTS got so so so many great songs that are suitable to a lot of situations and vibes. It is such a wasteful opportunity to promote more of their songs. Thank you Boracity for talking about this. I hope more Tik Tok Armys will learn something and let's work together. I also have been commenting to other TikTok Armys like 'You have such good BTS edited videos but maybe you can use BTS songs as a background to promote them at the same time." But I don't want them to feel like I'm giving criticism so I only do it once in a while. But I think the whole strategy is BE NORMAL. That's why I love Boracity magazine videos because the comment sections are filled mostly with normal Army who can accept different opinions and the will to discuss and learn something new.
I don't really use Tiktok or make edits, but I can think of a few things for non-BTS edits that could work quite well, like Namjoon's "Today we fight" intro from Not Today could quite easily work for TV Show edits, especially with the incoming influx of fantasy fighting shows coming now like PJO and ATLA, Airplane Part 2's instrumental could easily work for runway moments (think of Jungkook at MAMA 2018), we could even get Mic Drop in for "did you see my bag" for shopping hauls. We can get creative with it, and as long as we don't gatekeep things and don't make it weird, we can really use the general public to our advantage
That's some great ideas! I need to learn editing now lol
Literally, the WEIRDEST thing is a BTS Edit using a non-bts song. I click out of those right away, which is MANY. PLEASE USE BTS SONGS IN BTS EDITS.
That's not weird, and that's how a lot of people become fans of new things on tiktok. Army's are the only ones that think its weird and cleary we're struggling on tiktok.
Just let people live and act normal. Stop this "only bts" cult mentality. It scares off the general public.
@@N.S0shut up we're talking bout how to promote BTS songs in tik tok here not how to promote other songs using BTS members
…what
Sometime ago a lot of Armys were pushing for virality on Tiktok. We contacted so called Army accounts n asked if they could use BTS songs in BTS edits. U know what they replied "BTS songs don't fit with my accounts aesthetic" or "I don't like this song so I won't use it".
So what exactly do u like about BTS to proudly call urself Armys. Their faces?? How do u call urself a fan with 0 attchment to their music that they live n breathe for. Even if there r songs that i may not vibe with I always respect n admire their work bcoz I know what has went into it. Like how do u become a fan of musicians when u don't like their music.
Tik tok ARMYs are there just for YN fantasy not for music
That's why twt ARMYs call them useless.
thissss!!!!
Indian armys since we don't have tiktok we can push on Instagram and RUclips. Plz guys let's ace these platforms before tannie comeback
Great analysis, you are speaking the true about how the fandom sabotaged songs and the hard work the boys do, just for jealousy, we need to be unite and stream all the songs since the beginning until the last record as a group, also individual work, if we want to support the boys and if we want their recognition as artists 💜💪🏻 Bangtan forever!!
As someone who got interested in BTS and became ARMY through tiktok edits (that made their way to Instagram) - IT WORKS
Thank you for the overview!
i loved the examples of instrumentals people can use for edits you gave!
I think TikTok is very vast and wild, and you can't control what happens there, especially in the comment section. People comment whatever without thinking. It's the only social platform that we will never get on our side unless we organize it right. Your video is a good start.
however, we need to change our mindset. On Twitter, ARMYs used to discourage famous people from mentioning BTS, claiming they were using BTS for clout. That almost turned out to be a big mistake. Despite Twitter being our main platform, we didn't fail to promote them there. Posts from big ARMY accounts played a crucial role in preventing it.
We really need organize ourselves on social media platforms
Hello! Just wanted to tell you how much I admire your ability to collate information and references for topics that are so informative for, not just army, but people who might be new or wondering about BTS and the world we live in, on these topics that many aren't aware of or are to afraid to talk about.
Again, thank you for the time and effort you put into all of your videos! APOBANGPO!💜
What a great essay once again! Unfortunately, as an old ARMY, I won't be using TikTok anytime soon, but at least what you pointed out about comments are applicable elsewhere. I cringe so hard at some of the bot-like comments seen here on RUclips, and I can only imagine it's as bad elsewhere. And your suggestions for songs that can be used for certain moods were spot on! 💜
I was thinking about TikTok armys being useless a whole day. They need to see this video
This whole message is so true because despite being global artist BTS still feels very underground compared to other big artist like Justin Bieber Rihanna or Beyonce. As soon as you get out of the kpop sphere, when it comes to the general public nodody can even name one of their songs appart from Dynamite or Butter, wich is bad cause those song dont even represent their discography well. We dont know how to promotes on tiktok and thats unfortunate, if the other fandom do something well its use their faves songs on many videos
honestly i've realized that majority of the army tiktokers are teenagers,and this definitely plays a major role in this, but i hope we can do better as a fandom,as always your insight is spot on
As influential as your channel is, we're not going to have enough of an effect unless we organize and collaborate. I've said this about the socio-political activism that BTS has encouraged, too. A coalition of your subscribers needs a Discord, or maybe a subreddit, to gather and talk about these things and cover all the bases.
True armys really should be watching this video and start doing their job !!!
All armys from tiktok need to watch this. I noticed how in every non related bts tiktok that has bts music in it, has comments talking about bts only. This frustrates me so much.
The problem is that TikTok armys don't like you to tell them anything like this. And they especially don't like when you ask why they don't use BTS songs for their videos (99% of the time it's music from another artist). They kinda remind me of Instagram armys in that regard.
True like once I saw a BTS edit on Instagram with a random kpop song the song got nothing to do with the video so I ask her to make edits on BTS songs and she jumped on me Calling me toxic 😭
I have that experience too but I think you should compliment their videos first and subtlely give advice. For example "Hey I have been watching your videos and I love it! I like this edit so much, but I think it will be suitable to use (insert BTS song) but it is just advice, ignore me if it's weird lol" or directly tell them like "you make such a good BTS video and have lots of followers and I assume you are an ARMYs too? I heard that it will help BTS in charts if you use BTS songs more in TikTok videos so I think you are one of the best people to do that subtle promo but of course, it's purely friendly advice, I still watch your video tho". I only comment on this once in a while because of course forcing them will just make them ego and mad and if they just ignore it, I just let it go and think they don't care.
@@aisyahomar2516 thanks I will be careful next time
A new ‘BTS’ video essay! Hey, Bora I want to say thank you for uploading such amazing and well structured content over the course of this year. You really have inspired me to focus on changing my content and even improving it. Thank you again lots, and I hope in the New Year you will continue to upload good content like this! God bless, and have a blessed day.
I feel the need to say something, based on all the comments about not being able to do edits or thinking that tik tok is a dance type app or only for teens. Army, tik tok is for everyone. ANY topic, anything you can think of, you’ll find on there. If you have any hobby at all, I encourage you to post it, and choose a BTS song to play during your video. It can literally be a vid about your cat, or you gardening, showing proper ways to fold laundry, organizing your book shelf, washing your car, baking a cake, painting your house, crocheting, sewing, bathing your pet, cleaning your makeup brushes……literally ANYTHING, no special edits necessary. I’ll regularly be scrolling on my fyp and some random song will be playing and I click the song or Shazam it and it ends up on my apple music. If you choose a BTS songs, others will hear it on your vid, they like it and choose to reuse on their future vid. So, making a “dance” viral to go along with the song is not the only way to spread the music, just simply attaching it to random vids does the trick too.
I hope this video I seen by most of the Armys.
It is time we stop being called a toxic fandom.
Bangtan deserves better
It's really an important topic ,
I hope that tiktok armys will fix this serious problem .
As a twitter army I tried to do all what you say but the spam of the tiktok users my god I'm like... but I'm trying. If it's a cooking video I'm like" omg that looks so good! Gonna try it" anything like that. Hoping many more follow your advice!
i kinda think that its bc armys from the fisrt six years and from the last ones are really different, we had to study everything in other to do well on the important plataforms at the moment, but the newer ones kinda arrived when it was all done and not all of them participate on the army knowledge already gathered and dont study the newest plataforms, plus the older armys lifestyles have mostly changed, since its been so many years, and cant be as active. thats my shallow take on why we havent conquered tiktok yet, but im sure we can
tt armys always sabotage themselves and often are very clueless about the simpliest things related to bts. and when you ask them to behave like a sane person they go "it's not that serious" lol
u seriously can’t talk to them without them arguing about anything 😭 ive experienced this too much I’m sick 😖
Nah that’s crazy 😂😂😂. Yeah you just can’t argue with dumb people bro
This video made we want to start making edits LMAO your videos are so motivating
same here but I don't know what content I should do without exposing myself and i dont know how to edit videos.
Same here , I actually had a edit account but I deleted it . I will open again after my exams are over , Tiktok is banned so I will simply do it in Instagram .
Istg tiktok armys will do ANYTHING to make other songs viral on bts' videos but won't do the same for bts' music 👍👍👍
Yo tmb creo que tenemos oportunidad en tiktok pero no la sabemos aprovechar. Seguimos a artistas con una gran discografia y es tan triste ver que en lugar de usar sus canciones y aprovechar de TIKTOK los hundimos. LETS GO ARMY!
Muchas veces las "Armys" de tiktok no ayudan mucho y las que quisiéramos ayudar no sabemos editar, ni somos creativas jajajaja pero después de ver este video trataré de interactuar más en la aplicación con likes y comentarios randoms, la verdad es que no me gusta mucho tiktok, pero haré un esfuerzo
I’ve been saying this to a lot of tiktok armys when bs&t slow dance went viral. They’re sooososo annoying saying “bts don’t need more viral songs, they have enough.” like wtf?😭
Tiktok is filled with visual stans who dgaf about BTS songs and it shows cuz they are never using BTS songs
exactly! Like ask them abr recent releases they'll look at you dumb founded
Bless you boracity mag for saying all of this, the gatekeeping of BTS on tiktok is so dumb and counterproductive, and not at all how ARMY has been doing things for years. BTS didn't become as big as they are, didn't reach as many people as they have, who went on to become ARMY or casual listeners, from older ARMY gatekeeping them, quite the opposite. In order for Bangtan to soar to new heights, break new records, and become the biggest mainstream artist in the world, they, and especially their music, need to be known, and liked (or at the very least, acknowledged and respected), by the general public too, even if they only like/listen to one of their songs that they heard by chance one time.
Can you imagine if earlier ARMYs had gatekept BTS like they were their little secret artist, only for them to know and enjoy? How would so many ARMYs that never cared for kpop before BTS (or who still don't really listen to kpop and the only Korean artist they enjoy is BTS), find their way to Bangtan, do you think your music taste is so *exquisite* and *unique* that you would've organically stumbled across an unknown, unpromoted BTS, Micarah from Arizona? No, the fact that so many of us were able to find them is to an extent due to the ceaseless promotion ARMY did for them , that caused them to blow up in the East and then the West.
So, for the love of everything, let BTS reach more people (like they want to). A fanbase is a living, breathing organism, and there's people coming and going all the time. We shouldn't hinder either. Not to mention, BTS's music is amazing and healing and thought-proviking and more people should know what amazing artists they are. Oftentimes, tiktokmys only promote BTS there for their visuals, but locals thirsting over BTS's looks won't bring in streams, their music will.
In my country, tiktok is banned but from what can i see is, tikok armys are needed the amount of good editors they are plus i dont think it will be fun without those funny/hot edits they make. Some of creators are very important like jiminspogostick which also shows voting and hilarious stuff. That specific part is surey needed. Whats not needed are those spammers. Its actually sad how its taking us too much time because of self sabotage
YES, PLEASE!!! I was talking about this TODAY. You're such a queen for this! Here is my contribuition: SHIP EDITS! I can't tell you how many songs I discovered from ship edits and still listen to this day and associate it with a couple I love. It not only help with streams and monthly listeners, but also with playlisting and this will allow fans of a book (booktok is HUGE), movie or tv show that looked for a playlist with that couple's vibes to find their song and make it their faves soundtrack. One of the reasons why Taylor Swift has become so popular in recent years is because she basically became a synonym to romance and don't matter the couple you will find an edit with her song and BTS has the perfect discography for this.
SOME IDEAS:
1 - Sad couples: Let Me Know, The Truth Untold, I Need U, Spring Day, Jamais Vu, Closer, Yours, Dear My Friend, Love Me Again, For Us, Shot Glass of Tears.
2 - Happy couples: Just One Day, Dimple, Euphoria, Make It Right, Mikrokosmos, It's Definitely You, SDL, Promise, With You, Sweet Night, Yes or No.
3 - We can use our fan songs and the songs the members dedicated to one another for found family/friendship edits: 2,3; Young Forever, Magic Shop, For Youth, My You, WAB: The Eternal, On The Street, The Astronaut, My Universe, Lights.
4 - For badass/hot edits: Run BTS, Mic Drop, DDAENG, N.O, Sexy Nukim, Daechwita, Dope, Fire, Not Today, Singularity, Set Me Free pt. 2, Burn It.
5 - Black Swan and Lie are perfect songs for those "the beauty of [blank]" videos that showcases the cinematography of tv shows and movies.
6 - Travel vlogs (helped a lot in making Seven go viral): Basically all of Mono, Indigo and Layover.
7 - And with holiday season we can post about our Christmas using the holiday remixes + Christmas Love, Snow Flower, Christmas Tree, etc. They literally have a song for everything, let's make use of them!
8 - Bad Decisions, Telepathy, the english trilogy and Hope World are perfect for funny or happy edits.
And if the app is not available in your country, you can use other platforms: There's plenty of people who post fanvideos here on RUclips, fancams of tv shows are popular on Twitter and Instagram. You can also make a Spotify playlist for your favorite couples or something like "pov: you're the main character in a fantasy book" or "pov: the villain falls in love with you", add other artists you like to not scare people away but always include 1 or 2 BTS/members songs in it. We have the fandom power and we have amazing songs, we just need to want it and it will happen!
omg ur so smart for this !!! this needs to be top/pinned comment cause this is a good idea T_T also bts have such aesthetic, romantic plus such good lyricism which I think shippers esp love to utilise omg
@@horridgeek Exactly! We can add the lyrics/translations in the video to help people get more interested. Personally, I believe The Truth Untold, Euphoria, Just One Day and House of Cards have HUGE VIRAL POTENTIAL and they fit with so many couples, especially book ones. We can also pay attention when a movie/tv show gets popular and try to find songs that match it to hop on the trend.
@@samhavilliard omg huge emphasis on truth untold and house of cards they both have that moody and w hoc that sexy vibe tt would EAT UP omg esp combined w the lyrics 😄
@@samhavilliard ooh esp mixed w an audio I’ve noticed them go viral
esp what I don’t get is army editors who edit even bts lore CONNECTED TO THEIR MUSIC will never use their music ever…like they could easily trend emotional songs the way they do w mitski + hyyh yoonkook…
didnt a Justin Beiber x Selena gomez edit go viral a while ago with yes or no by jk playing in the background? so you're 100% right in saying yes or no definitely has viral potential for more ship edits
Это видео обязательно стоит посмотреть всем Арми, использующим TikTok!
Спасибо Boracity за создание таких прекрасных видео-работ! Надеюсь, этот канал наберёт популярность и поможет нашему фандому стать ещё более продуктивным к возвращению BTS из армии!!💜
TikTok is a great platform for the idols that want to use it. Jungkook is the most active on there, he owns it, he has a lot of fun creating his own content and watching others. It is great how engaging Jungkook is with his audience, he enjoys interacting with the fans the most which is highly appreciated ♥️
yessss - i don't even have a tiktok account, but whenever i go on to see a random video the comments really put me off (another one is the 'omg i came bc jungkook liked this' comment - like you said, just like the first comment that says it and move on). i appreciate the work you did for coming up with some great ideas to get bts on non-army tiktok - but can i just say you absolutely slayed for 25:33 - 28:02 . all the songs were soooo good for the vibes. a+++ army social media manager right there.
like, i'm all for army having fun with non-bts related stuff too, but if there's a chance and the vibes are there 👀
This was much needed.. I know we are proud of our boys and therefore get overtly excited when some random person knows a bts song.. but spamming the comments just doesn't help..and also hate comments on random people's tiktok or Instagram reels is not helping us.. general public already thinks army is just crazy teenagers and we are giving them what they want...let's be more respectful unless there is unnecessary hate towards bts.. Everyone needs to see this vedio🙌
THIS.
haven't watched the video yet but here to tell ya'll the problem, Alot is happening on Twitter ! Armys are falling into solo narratives that's why a lot of ot7 army accounts are being deleted! Armys are falling into solos traps! Solos are trending disgusting things about other members and big army accounts are being cancelled! I just want armys to please trust each other till tannies come back! Please hold on to each other,... and don't listen to haters/antis/solos, solos are a big problem right now in our fandom!
they're trying to divide us, and we're just letting them by either falling into their narrative or complaining then doing nothing about it. for some reason armys have had a infatuation with accusing ot7 accs of being diet solos & chasing them off twt then doing nothing about the actual shameless solos, or harassing an innocent ot7 army and making them delete their innocent tweet because solos found it and said disgusting things in the replies/qrts, but not doing anything about the solos actually at fault. I don't even know how we're gonna get out of this situation because nobody is willing to do anything about it & just blindly follow solos when it fits their narrative, its just insane. the only thing we can do for now is report/block ACTUAL solo accs & trust armys.
PLEASE 🙏🏽 I don’t know how we are going to do it but let’s make this video go viral on RUclips, Twitter and TikTok!!
We can do this!!!
Because, I have also noticed that the fandom is self sabotaging themselves and BTS regarding TikTok!
20:10
I do have some ideas about this
*You cant stop me loving myself* ~Idol by BTS
*Ohh I can make it right* ~Make it right by BTS
*I'm the one I should love in this world* ~Intro:Serendipity by BTS
*I tried a million times to let you go
So many memories are on the floor
And now I hate the cities I don't belong
Just wanna go back home* ~Lonely by RM
*You went from my home to
It was nice to know you
And it breaks my heart
That we gave it our best shot
Now I'm in California
I'm still waiting for ya
Will you change your mind?
I would give it all up for us* ~For us by V
I personally think these are very tiktok friendly and can easily be used
As a very casual Tiktok user, this was so helpful! I will do more and do better!💜
YA! Listo. Agarren todos los ejemplos que aparecen al final del video, piensen en sus series, películas, kdramas favoritos y hagan (hagamos) edits literal con esas canciones. Yo acabo de hacer uno con "Closer than this" y justo Boracity subió este video, lo tomaré como una señal para seguir haciéndolo. Pero de verdad, sus ideas son muy buenas y dado que dijo que ella no quiere hacer videos de tiktok, tomemos esaas ideas nosotras y démosle pa delante porque nunca pa atras!!! Un abrazo moraditas. Borahae 💜🫰🏼
not an army but a kpop fan but wow this video is so good and I can tell that a lot of research has gone into it.
Her every vedio is like that... it surprises me everytime that how informative she is and how so many things are going on which we don't know or aren't paying attention to....
for sure, this was a really insightful video ! so well made 😭
This goes the same with Instagram reels. I hope one day we can make trends right on tiktok and Instagram before tannies come back in 2025
also RUclips shorts
*It depends on what we focus on when we are on Tk, there is a lot of people who only argue about who knows BTS better, who is not updated on the facts regarding BTS and their works. But the choice remains up to us on what and how we want to help our favorites and it doesn't have to be a bad thing if our intent is to help promote BTS music and the band more.💜*
*Boracity THANKS for your great insights with each of your videos and for who celebrate CHRISTMAS I WISH YOU HAPPY HOLIDAYS☃️ and be happy and spread good words like BTS taught us.❤*
TikTok is full of solos and they are the ones embarrassing us
It's about high time the fandom matures like the boys did. It's so admirable to see the 7 doing all they want without caring what people might think and in a way that destigmatizes a lot of things that k-pop fans would make a fuss about in the past.I feel like we need to let go of this gatekeeping thing because those are 7 mature adults well capable of replying back the haters with army's support rather than us always being on guard and getting defensive about the littlest of criticisms that is at least not hateful. I feel like the tiktok side of fandom(hell maybe some other parts too) has a lot of that gatekeeping attitude and you know getting overpossessive about their fav artist as if BTS should be just their secret like they aren't global stars already. Yes we got a lot of hate and roast for being a toxic 'fandom' but I feel like now we should become a little more laid back and realize our power so as to not engage in meaningless fights with nameless people or say getting toxic over a random person on tiktok using some BTS sound.
Yes this will be very helpful. Armies we need to spread this video to other armies who uses tiktok and have to tell them what could make BTS songs go viral on tiktok. We need to spread this video.
I hope all the ARMY teens on TT listen and take your advice to heart
Thank you so much for covering this topic!
All the armys who make tiktoks I've some song recommendations which you all can use in skits, dance, covers or anything...!
Life goes on
Spring day
Run
I need you
Waste it on me
Still with you
Just one day
Idol
Equal sign
I know
we need all tiktok armys to watch this. Brilliant video as always! So well explained. Thank youuuu 💜
YES!! this video is so needed!! and I hope older and newer ARMYs watch and listen. you've made excellent points, thank you again, Boracity
Jungkook euphoria has very high chances of becoming next trending song it's has that viral component but most of the time when someone used the song army's apm the comment about how they used euphoria which icks the influencer away 😮💨
I think ARMYs commenting on JK's liked tiktoks need to be stopped as well... Anyways very good video, hopefully many ARMYs can see it!
Wonderful video, i personally don't like that app. But this made me think about it... we can trend bts songs there, specially now that the boys are in the military, we should let the general public use bts songs, I'll create an account and try to upload some edits.
Me too. I specifically avoid TikTok due to their users' weird reputation but I made a TikTok account a month ago specifically to support BTS content,..the things we do for BTS lol and you go, I'll support you!
THIS NEED TO BE VIRAL ON TIKTOK ASAP
I'm a big sports fan and I often visualize sports highlights in my brain and what BTS song I'd use over it. The problem is that I don't know how to edit and I don't have a TT account. But one of my goals for 2024 is to change both those things. I mean MIC Drop, More, Daechwita etc etc are all just BEGGING to be used in sports highlights. I can do it!
I think we can use the same tips for instagram too it's currently a mess full of cringe reels I hope boracity make one video about army instagram, looking forward to new video 💜
Thank you for the amazing video!!
All your points are so so good, I really hope more TikTok ARMYs see this and realize how their behavior is damaging...
And thank you for mentioning Lil Huddy, I've been watching his videos for years now and he always did BTS challenges (for example when bwl was released) and so many people commented mean things. I've seen that with so many big TikTokers, there are a few big german TikTokers (all over 1M followers) who also liked BTS but I also feel like they stopped posting videos about it bc the comments are either "omg, you are army???" or "wow, nowadays everyone acts as if they were fans only for the fame", even though they have followed the group for yeaaars. One girl I really like recently posted a TikTok with "Just One Day" as a throwback because she used to love the song so much, but she deleted it, probably bc so many (young?) armys were flooding her comments
As usual, great job on the details and the specifics.
Its great to point out that there with tik tok creators and users, the main focus with them is the use of
BTS media. Its great that they are using BTS music and sounds to create their own footage, in order to generate that
"trend", that allows their music to be loved and possibly listened to by everyone, which includes the new listeners and
the non-kpop listeners. Its media that can can become new again, or recycled, depending upon what they are using the
media for. You even pointed out that BTS genereated different sounds, music, and media, for anyone, or everyone to
use or utilize, in order to entertain, or even expand their name sake recognition or reputation.
Well done, and a great job.
Keep it up.
Enjoy!
Thank you for giving the examples at the end, I'll try my best to incorporate the songs in edit like you did!! We just all have to try our best 💜💜
Loved the instrumental examples that you gave in the video. They actually inspired me to go make some edits! (I have never made edits!)
Loved the video and I hope it gets to TikTok Armys asap!!
I'm sharing this video and show it to the gatekeeping toxic fans who can't stop gatekeeping and being toxic is this the type of stuff that these toxic fans be doing i know I'm not a toxic fan but the amount of disrespect and toxicity and immaturity that these toxic idiots be doing is unnecessary I'm a massive bts fan but i find it funny how these insane people be thinking they own bts or treat them like children they are grown men i don't understand the concepts of people doing this stuff for clout and thinking it's funny I'll always support bts no matter what 🫰🏼🇺🇲💜🇰🇷
Eso es verdad yo conozco gente que les gusta una canción pero apenas se enteran que es de bts y la dejan de escuchar y la verdad la culpa la tiene el propio fandom que no dejan que los descubran ellos mismos
The amount of time and work you put into these to help educate never fails to astound me! 👏👏 Thank you!
Thank you, Bora. You are amazing!!! I honestly don't have a tik tok account and i don't like tik tok in general... But, i am glad some people are using this app well.
I hope this video comes to millions of ARMYS who use tik tok, so that they help our boys instead of sabotaging.
This is really a good take, we should have conquered TikTok by now. Thanks for the tips, I'll repost every video that comes in my recommendation from now on.
We can do it for BTS ARMY!!!!! 💜
Some ARMYs really don't want BTS to go fully global, they somehow gatekeep them and police people
Actually BTS have so many songs in so many genres that have ability to go viral more than we ever could think! Their music isn't stuck with one genre they have done almost every kind of music not like other kpop acts collectively! So as Armys we have a very big chance and advantage more than any other fandom to make those songs attracted in tiktok! In my opinion most of Armys really don't care about tt as they only focus on streaming platforms! They casually think that tt trends are so temporary and not worthy! Some think tt is trash! Some think the songs going viral on tt aren't musically rich and even though it's a good song it will surely end up being destroyed by tt! But Armys we have to go with the trend no matter what! Streaming is the main focus of all! That's clear! But still we have to do our part as a fandom in tt also bcz by now tt have literally become one of the most popular platforms! So if tiktokers themselves intentionally or unintentionally help us in promoting bts songs in tt why do we stop them! Plz don't do it! Actually there's no harm to any song as it's going viral it's common but instead the worth of the song may become higher than it was! Make more trends and repost something if you see related to bts like and comment but not about bts or don't go spam them for using bts music or don't feel overwhelmed as you heard a bts song and fill the comment section with things related to bts! Just pretend like you don't know bts and repost it and like it comment something related to the content of the video!
Be smart Armys!!!!
Don't get blinded by old class opinions you have built in your head! Just throw them away and go with the trend bcz we have to!!!
And thank you bora FOR your content I watched it twice it's really worthy watching as you've brought up such smart facts! 💜
I appreciate how meticulously you researched for your videos essays. That is why I recommend others to watch your videos. Thank you. 💜
This video should go viral, especially on TikTok 🙏💜
some ppl seem to forget that bts isnt a niche special intrest anymore like ur not special just bc u like bts theres millions more of us out there💀
your videos seriously needs to be watched by every single army
Those examples tou gave were so helpful. I was teying to do this with some videos i made on IG bc taes new music is just so vibey. im in esthetics and feel like it could definitely go with so many beauty related content. youve inspired me to keep at it and get ppl exposed to more bts without being too heavy handed
Maybe you should upload a kind of short of your video to reach more people (specially those tik tok armies). This is THE BEST INFORMATION FOR EVERY ARMY!!
You might want to add that some general public fans wont even say they are ARMY because they are embarrassed about how the hardcore fans behave. And that general public fans could even be harassed for being a hater for telling the hardcore ones to stop spamming BTS in the comments.
Thanks for your hardwork in spreading awareness💜 you're a GOAT!!! it's really frustrating when numbers of tiktok gatekeeps the songs or create bts edits using other songs. There's also times that introducing the members are being too much, like writing long essays that will not be read by the locals at all. we should only keep it simple unless the locals ask us to write about them more.
i became an army just because of a simple comment to back in 2016. It was simple "check out bts, they do /this genre/ too"
also Bora 💜... is there a chance for you to discuss about TOXIC SHIPPERS and how it harms the bts+fandom and breeds more solo/akgaes? 😭...
If hold me tight went viral on tiktok...i think I'd cry happy tears
The edits and instrumentals parts is like my "BTS/ARMY roman empire" I'm on that app fr 😫 Like why is it that hard to understand it's a super easy grassroots promo opportunity on that platform?! Sometimes I'll randomly decide to check an account that has this type of vid pop-up on my FYP and 9 times out of 10 they're a multi (or at lest appear to be) that just does a copy and paste method a bunch of times and just comes off as "messy or trying too hard". We need ARMY ARMYS to start taking over these types of videos on TikTok 🙏💜
You are literally doing God's work for BTS. You say everything true armys are feeling. Truly thank you. ❤
This why JK opened tiktok account, so that army use that also.
I agree with annoying comment and also some people are started fighting in comments box. Sorry but one more thing that I feel annoying is asking users to listening their songs, like "listen their/his dischography, you'll be fan of them/him"
I agree with this. I will make a TikTok just for reposts! Every army should help!
I would but I'm not on Tiktok.
i'd argue that editors should use both bts songs and popular edit audios when making bts edits. because if they're editing bts but following an audio trend the general public could be more likely to get one of those edits on their fyp. and most of the time the edits are FIRE and the guys look great ofc, so naturally people would be more inclined to check them out anyway, especially if someone finds bts through a good edit to a song they already like. editors should be mixing the two though, as i said. editing bts to their own music is obivously needed lol
in dyna ear we had sick ass army promo videos dropping left and right by amazing army editors and we all collectively spammed them everywhere. and it worked! those promo videos were seen by none armys and made the comeback more aware.
what we need rn is gather those editors and big accounts together to focus on tiktok and make a FB of some sort, that way we can be more organized. of course we individually all have to do our part still and not depend on them but if we have a huge FB focusing on this it will be much easier to get the word around just like how our voting FBs are promoting the votings going on etc.
we need to gather and make sick as edits using BTS songs, instrumentals, etc. and in different topics too. be them about BTS, music, food, pets, nature and everything in between if we can set an example for other armys through this, i think we can do something big. and yeah we really need to figure out tiktok before BTS comeback in 2025.
Spread this everywhere we need to make this happen we can do it.
I love how niche your content is, their always about topics that the general fandom doesn’t want to discuss. Keep up the work!!
This is such amazing information that all ARMY should see! If you have ever participated in a way that is described as scaring the general public, please don’t feel negative or upset at this information. As ARMY trying to help BTS, let’s all be willing to take in the big picture and wisdom from other ARMY. Sharing knowledge and learning from each other are some of the major strengths of ARMY. I purple you all! 💜
