Thread🧵: It's important for new ARMY to understand the significance of terms like "MAY TERROR" and "BREAK WINGS PROJECT" when we mention them on the timeline. I've attempted to describe the severity of the attacks during those periods a few times in other posts of mine.

I’ve decided to make this thread of THIS part of our BTS and ARMY history.

#BTSARMYHistory Those of us who have been here for a while, as well as newer ARMY who have taken the time to learn about our history, understand the context behind these terms. This knowledge helped many of us recognize and avoid being party to the manipulative and hateful nature of recent events, which are now being revealed for what they truly are.

I wanted to summarise the "MAY TERROR" and “BREAK WINGS PROJECT” (2016), as you should already know was a tough time for BTS and ARMY. It was a time filled with attacks and baseless accusations against BTS, all stemming from years of pointless hate.

From their debut, BTS faced mockery for their lack of money (not having come from one of the “Big 3”), concepts, appearance, and even their name. Despite their talent and hard work, they were often belittled and underestimated. The situation escalated when BTS won their first music show in May 2015 for “I NEED U”, only to be accused of sajaegi (chart manipulation), because BTS had beat out big name releases by ȾV*Q and $Ǚper JǙn!or and B!gBȺng. Despite explanations from ARMY, the accusations persisted. BigHit successfully contested the accusations in court proving that there had been no such attempts of sajaegi and all sales were legitimately from ARMY support and as we all know by now BigHit was on the verge of bankruptcy at the time, which added to the absurdity of the accusation in the first place.

In May 2016, things got even worse with the release of "HYYH Young Forever." BTS faced absurd plagiarism accusations, triggering yet another wave of anti’s attacks. These attacks included mocking their appearance, spreading false rumors, and more hate hashtags.
