how big is NIKI outside of asia?

I've been an ARMY since 2017 and a Tae bias, so this is something I've been struggling with more than I expected.

I want to make it clear that I'm not trying to label BTS as Zionists or claim that I know what their personal political beliefs are. As far as I know, none of the members have explicitly stated their political views on the conflict, and I don't think it's fair to fill in the blanks ourselves.

But at the same time, i’ve seen discussions about the Army Bomb bag, the Coca-Cola situation, the Israeli company connections, and especially the photo of Hobi with someone who is apparently an IDF soldier. And honestly, it had made me a little uncomfortable.

The thing that's bothering me isn't necessarily one individual controversy. It's more the overall feeling I'm getting from their public actions. I can't help but feel like they don't seem particularly bothered by what's happening in Gaza. Maybe that's unfair because we obviously don't know what they're thinking or doing privately, but that's genuinely how their public silence and actions have been making me feel.

The Taehyung/SaveOne donation bracelet thing is also something I've been thinking about. I know it isn't proof of his political beliefs, but knowing that he supported a fund that helps children affected by conflicts, including Gaza, does make me feel a little better. At the same time, I don't want to use that one thing to convince myself that everything else doesn't matter.

And honestly, I don't even know what I want from them. I'm not necessarily expecting them to become political activists or make some huge statement. I think I just want some indication that they are aware of the suffering and that it affects them in some way.
I've been an ARMY for almost a decade, so this isn't easy for me. I don't suddenly hate BTS, and I'm not trying to convince anyone else to unstan. I'm just feeling conflicted because I love these people and their music, while also not wanting to blindly defend them if there are things worth criticizing.

I guess I'm posting because I want to hear how other longtime ARMYs are processing this. Not “BTS are definitely Zionists” or “BTS can do no wrong,” but genuinely how do you reconcile loving an artist when their public actions leave you questioning whether they share values that are important to you?

*i understand that coke has explicitly said they don’t support the genocide

and honestly this is more of a rant that i wanted to get off my chest yea

i’m trying to create a netflix account and i entered my card details and all already and im at the part where they need me to verify my phone number.. but i keep getting the error message “We were unable to verify your phone number. Please review your information and try again”

hi ladies! how has spearmint tea helped you with your hormonal acne? does it affect your period flow/cycle too?

hi guys i have an interview tmr for a product technician role and im a recent graduate from poly

what do i bring for the interview? do i actually need to print and bring my resume there?

my ex Army friend was telling me how V was her bias only because of his looks. I mean being attracted to looks is nothing wrong but i’m sure there’s more to them than just looks. Now i’m curious what made yall choose your bias..

personally for me, JK is my bias cause of how hardworking he his and his competitive nature. He is also super super talented in everything which just makes me admire him. Apart from that, he isn’t afraid to show his emotions and speaks with sincerity. He’s always down to earth. Really such a precious being.

edit: i should also ask, who’s your bias wrecker??

My skin is getting SOO BAD. especially my cheek area as it has bumps which is non itchy and it’s all over my cheeks (nearer to my jawline)..

My skincare routine is:

AM:
BOJ plum cleanser
INNISFREE vitamin C moisturizer
BOJ aqua sunscreen

PM:
Skin1004 pink cleanser
innisfree vitamin C moisturizer

sometimes i use BOJ red bean clay mask and torriden vitamin C toner pad

i’ve tried so many other products before and the bumps don’t disappear completely… its always there and comes back. Is there anything i can do about it.. natural remedies or what so ever

20F here! i’m looking for FRIENDS who would text me regularly and probably do tiktok streaks with me too..

i’m a huge F1 fan and BTS fan.. other than that idk what else to say about myself haha

does anybody wanna add on ig / tiktok to send BTS reels / tiktok??
