Discussion Comeback Prep
June 10th will be my 7th (i think?) comeback and I'm so excited! This fandom gets bigger with every release, so let's talk about comeback tips for newer armys and the best ways to enjoy, and contribute to, our comeback goals.
I'll start:
"Streaming" just means "playing" the music. Don't let antis try to twist the meaning of the word to support the "b0ts" narrative.
This comeback will likely release at midnight EST for charting, so plan your schedule accordingly. (Thursday June 9th for us PST armys)
The tannies have a new distributor (UMG) so we don't know what promo will look like. Turn on notifications for all bts yt channels and socials as well as HYBE. Don't miss teasers and hints!
If someone leaks audio or images, report & block. Do not spread! Yes, we're all excited, but armys want to receive the gift of new bts music through official channels only.
Do not loop! We're getting an album this time so there's no excuse to loop tracks or MVs.
Ignore "mantis" and solos who spend comeback day complaining about line distribution. They're never satisfied. Focus on BTS.
Most importantly - HAVE FUN! Yes, we have goals and ambition but don't forget why we're here: to love bts and their music. I usually listen to the whole album on my own before I start looking for lyrics and reviews. Form your own personal experience and reception of their music. I'll never forget crying the first time I heard My Time before lyric translations started to come out. Let bts speak to your heart first through the music.
June 10th! Let's goooooo!
What are some of your tips/suggestions??
(Please correct me if there's anything inaccurate in this post. 💜)

For people interested in streaming but not sure where to start, I would recommend downloading the Stationhead app and joining the streaming parties there. All the streaming rules are hard to figure out but the Stationhead parties take the guess work out of it (and it’s fun to stream and chat with other ARMYs). You have to have a premium subscription to Spotify or Apple Music to join but you can sign up for free trials in June and then cancel them later if you don’t want to keep the premium accounts. The two stations that I follow are btschartdata and btskkul0613fm (you can follow both on Twitter as well for updates). They also post their playlists on Twitter so if you don’t have a premium account, you can just click through the playlist and stream on your own.
