[Thread] BTS Gwanghwamun & The "Media Restriction" Outrage 🇰🇷✨
💜 Please, read the full Thread —

The headlines regarding the BTS Gwanghwamun concert media guidelines are framing standard industry protocol as "excessive restriction."

Claims that 10 minutes of filming is "censorship" or that public space justifies unlimited broadcasting rights are fundamentally misrepresenting how global media events actually operate.

☆ The Source: 🙋🏻‍♀️ I’m the admin for Beyond ARMY, but professionally, I’m a Creative Director who has led global campaigns for top multinational corporations in the beauty and consumer goods industries. My background includes years at "Big Four" global PR firms and major global advertising network agencies, specializing in media kits, brand strategy, and crisis comms for high-stakes international events. — You've seen my @ on BA videos and CapCut Templates, I lead our Creative Team.
☆ I also hold a Master’s in International Administration, focusing on the intersection of International Law and Communications. I am explaining these guidelines from the perspective of the person who actually writes and enforces them on behalf of her clients.

#BTSLiveonNetflix 👉 The Media Kit: This is a legal contract between organizers and the press.

It ensures news coverage while protecting the multi-million dollar Intellectual Property (IP) of the performance. For an event this scale, the kit is a mandatory "Rulebook for Guests."

This is NOT abnormal. Everyone does this.

👉 The 10-Minute Rule: A 10-minute filming window is a standard industry "news window."

@Netflix has paid astronomical costs for production and global server stability in exchange for **exclusivity.**

If local outlets stream the full set, that exclusivity—and the ROI (return on investment) that pays for the concert—is destroyed.

🚫 No ROI means these "free" global events stop happening. Period. Full stop.

Hobi’s concealer is Laura Mercier’s Secret Camouflage Colour Correcting Concealer. It has been a BTS staple for *MANY* years as well. ⤵️ You can see it also used here in his Sweet Dreams 12-Hour Live — makeup artist is the same btw, Kim Da Reum. She used to be under Han Som, but she always traveled with BTS for hair and makeup. So she may be a Sr. makeup artist now given how many years it’s been.

A MODERN HISTORY Thread ☆

In reading @billboard, it reminded us of a very in-depth conversation we had had a few weeks ago with @USBTSARMY. The article was phenomenal and informative. Let's go!

#WhiteChristmas x @BingCrosby will be historic. Since 1955, WC is globally the best-selling song of all-time (estimated ~50m+ have been sold.) This is the first time in 40-years BC's Estate is allowing something like this.

Tae is a Lyric Baritone. In 2018 his EXACT vocal range was Eb2-Eb6 (4 octaves, 5 notes and 1 semitone). This means as of 2021 he's now comfortably in 4-5 octaves.
