The Smeraldo Blog has re-opened! BU is coming. Are you ready??

If you would like to know more about the Smeraldo Blog see the thread below!

@BTS_twt #BTSARMY #BTS #BUisComing #BTSResearch
"The Smeraldo blog mysteriously appeared before the Love Yourself: HER comeback. It provides background story related to the fictional smeraldo flower, which makes an appearance in the BU." @writer_court

@BTS_twt #BTSARMY #BTS #BUisComing #BTSResearch Image
"Seokjin also tweeted a photo with the fictional flower, a month before the album released. This tweet led to the discovery of the Smeraldo blog on Naver." @writer_court

@BTS_twt #BTSARMY #BTS #BUisComing #BTSResearch

"It seems that the first nine stories were posted on the original blog, but they were later deleted & reuploaded... the blog has been inactive...until now..." @writer_court

@BTS_twt #BTSARMY #BTS #BUisComing #BTSResearch

Since the blog has opened, the first story has been re-uploaded.

"The first story introduces the florist “Testesso” (Italian for “yourself”) who opens the blog to write about the smeraldo flower & playing cards (smeraldo also means “emerald” in Italian)." @writer_court @BTS_twt
"He mentions that he is opening a flower shop that will specialize in smeraldo flowers. He went to the U.S. to attend a lecture on these special flowers, but missed the lecture due to getting the date wrong." @writer_court

@BTS_twt #BTSARMY #BTS #BUisComing #BTSResearch Image
"Instead, he attended a lecture about playing cards & in doing so learned about the smeraldo flower. He provides a photo of the flower & notes that the “flower’s language” is “non potevo dire la verità” which is Italian for “the truth that couldn’t be told.”@writer_court @BTS_twt Image
"Of course, this will sound familiar to fans, as 전하지 못한 진심 (The Truth Untold) later came out on TEAR."@writer_court

An educational thread about “Microaggressions: What are they? How can we respond?”
We hope this thread is an incentive for everyone to read more about the topics of microaggressions. As always, we encourage you all to do your own research and always seek further insights surrounding these discussions.
Some scholars argue that racism, sexism, homophobia, & other forms of discrimination are no longer as obvious as in the past. Instead, people may demonstrate their biases & prejudices in more subtle ways, otherwise known as 'microaggressions'.

"...the more impact one makes in the public eye, the more critics come out...to challenge that impact. However, regardless of what naysayers think, BTS have proven their importance on a 🌍 scale, & dismissing the Korean band will not change that." @BTS_twt

"Despite these accomplishments showing how BTS have pushed through western gatekeepers, the group still faces xenophobia and microaggressions outside of South Korea."

@bts_twt #BTSResearch
"On a macro-level, @bts_twt have shown their importance. They broke into the 🌍 music industry, repeated their success, & are sought after to speak about 🌍 issues. Refusing to acknowledge that does not make the band any less important, +"

“Revenues from @BTS_twt activities account for just half our total revenues...We will help them grow as iconic artists, such as Rolling Stones or Metallica, who make 💵 from performing just once every couple of years.” -Han Park, Big Hit’s Investment & Strategy Head. #BTSResearch Image
"Big Hit has been building a business model to maximize profits even without its artists’ activities...The indirect participation events made up almost half of Big Hit’s revenue in the 1st quarter of this year, up from 31% in 2018."

@BTS_twt #BTSResearch
[During Enlistment]

"Big Hit believes it can generate a steady stream of revenue from BTS in many ways: through solo & smaller group performances; indirect participation through online concerts, mobile games & video content; as well as merchandise sales."

"I don't think artists lose mkt. value because of their age. U2 isn't young anymore, but it's not lost its value, has is it? When @BTS_twt reaches their 30s, it will be possible to deliver age-appropriate msgs. & provide inspiration. Even when you're in your 50s [&] after that."
Since 2016, Big Hit Ent has been rapidly increasing.
