BE
Be (stylized as BE) is the first self-directed and seventh mini-album by BTS. It was released on November 20, 2020
The album debuted at #1 on Billboard 200, becoming BTS's fifth #1 on that chart.
It was the second best-selling album of 2020 in South Korea and is currently the fifth best best-selling album in South Korea of all time.
As of 2021, BE has sold more than two and half million copies.
The album concept was quarantine life and each member curated their own room.
You can find voice overs and even a room to decorate on BTS´ website ibighit.com/bts/eng/discog…
This track is a unit track of RM, Jin, and Jungkook. During the global press conference for “BE,” Jungkook explained that this song carries a meaning that although we are far apart now, we always stay together.
What you can do if you get harassed by victimizers or antis-
a thread
Since bullying and harassment of ARMY acc by victimizers have increased a lot, I thought I'll share with you what strategies to protect myself and get rid of them have worked best for me so far.
As a lot of you know, I have a lot of experience 😅
1. Prevention
There were cases where ARMY's got even d0xxed or their acc got hacked (not accusing anyone for legal reasons). How to protect yourself?
• use 2-factor authentifacion
• don't use or mention your full legal name
• don't mention your workplace ⬇️

The metrics for the single charts are
streams > radio airplay > sales
Streams are getting counted as sales like following:
250 paid streams = 1 song sale
350 free streams = 1 song sale
500 programmed streams (online radio stations like Pandora) = 1 song sale
+++
Last year Willy changed their rules to make sales weigh even less and make it harder for us to get the number of sales we need to make up for lack of airplay.
Previously 4 purchases of one version per customer were allowed before it was considered a bulk, but now it's just one
Charts work differently in different countries and local charts have always priority over global charts. It's important to be informed how you can support BTS in your area the best and your fanbases know the charts well.
2. Prepare your streaming platforms
Paid acc are always better than free acc. Some platforms offer free trials such as Apple Music, YouTube and Spotify. Diversifying streaming is important but you don't need paid acc for every app.
Check which apps do count for your charts.
I didn't expect "we are bulletproof" as hint🤔
Also they asked us to stay with them forever
Guys, please calm down😅
"We are bulletproof" has nothing to do with their enl*stment!
It's about their songs, there are 3 of them with this title and I will go through them later with you!
Don't worry 💜
Sea/ocean
BTS talking a lot about the ocean/sea at the LV concerts. They also have previously posted a lot of pictures of oceans at their insta.
The ocean and the desert have a lot of meaning to BTS & ARMY.
Desert stands for hardships and the ocean represents us being together.
New era
They started hinting for a new era since the PTD music video.
It is believed that BTS' first era is called "Youth" and includes everything they released prior to BE.
BE is to be seen seperately imo since it's a response to the pandemic.
I think it will be announced after the LV concert live stream just as they did with Butter, maybe just hinting too.
Usually it's 4 to 6 weeks between announcement and album drop.
So it can could be after Festa.
For new ARMY's, Festa is the time before BTS stage anniversary ⬇️
It's usually 2 weeks long where they are dropping pictures, videos and sometimes a new sound cloud song and is then followed by a celebration video/live stream.
So they are either dropping a new album way before that or after Festa so promotions don't get interrupted.⬇️
If they don't cb until mid may, it will be mid June the earliest.
Regarding the theme of the new album, since they are hinting a "new era" and referencing HYYH/youth (if they really do😅) then I think it's about BTS having arrived in adulthood and what it means to them
