The new Wooteo IG pic made me laugh and then the caption made me laugh again—
“My head isn’t actually that big.
This is an MZ shot”

Hahahahahhahaha omg the Millennial/gen Z selfie from a high angle callout

their view was that their renewed contract was *the most exemplary one in the industry* — which then means it *wasn’t* standard form/terms, but was modified, specifically. No one would expect BTS’ second renewal in 2023 to be standard either (esp not with that currently mysterious Board resolution)+
September 21, 2023 at 5:15 AM
BTS have access to that info, AND MORE INFO we never will see.
While the contract title/subtitle in the pic Joon shared on his IG story refers to the contract being based on the standard form it doesn’t mean it *is* the unmodified standard form. As BH & BTS said in 2019, when they renewed in 2018 +

First, re getting independent legal advice, in the 2019 *joint statement* BH said:
“…we have, from the beginning, advised BTS and their parents to use outside advice from accountants and lawyers regarding finance, settlements, and law. +
September 21, 2023 at 5:04 AM
BH, BTS, AND their parents(!), issued a furious but scathingly polite *joint statement* clarifying and demanding an apology (which they got, a week later, on air, on primetime news).
The 2019 joint statement also included a little bit more info re BTS’ contract… +
September 21, 2023 at 5:03 AM
In 2019 we first officially learned this when Kmedia MAJORLY pissed off BH, BTS, AND their parents(!) by running a misleading, non-factual report, AND breaking into BH’s then office space and filming without permission. The 2019 news report insinuated BTS and BH were in conflict +
September 21, 2023 at 5:01 AM
Even in 2018 (or maybe esp then, as BH didn’t have an artist roster outside BTS and was entirely dependant on them) BTS actually had a lot of leverage for their renewal. In 2020, as part of the Harvard case study, Bang PD and then CEO Yoon explained they’d wanted to show renewing could be amicable +
September 21, 2023 at 4:57 AM
it was disclosed BTS’ current/1st renewed contract term would end in 2024 (which is not 2025, for 7yrs from 2018, and not 2026, for 7yrs from 2019).
But since they’d announced their renewal term was 7yrs this suggested that the renewed contract term *may* have actually been backdated to 2017, which+
September 21, 2023 at 4:53 AM
Since their original contract was set to expire in 2019, media (Korean and English) assumed this meant the new term would go until 2026.
But, in 2020, in filings leading up to BH’s IPO (ie., documents prepared by lawyers reading all the contracts and required to be accurate for public disclosure), +
September 21, 2023 at 4:52 AM
If you’re confused about the timing of BTS’ contract effective dates (that’s ok!), it’s partly bc they all choose to disclose very few specifics (good for them!). What we know about their current contract term (ie the 1st renewal from 2018) is they announced they’d renewed early & for another 7yrs +

Ramble thread—BTS’ contract renewals
There’s not a lot of actual detail known abt BTS’ renewal atp and, reality is, we’ll likely never get a lot of info on specifics, just as we’ve *never* known. And that’s ok!
(Anyone who’s ever said “BTS’ contracts say this or that” is full of sht or speculating +

“호석이팬”(Hoseokie’s fan) wasn’t the only ARMY Hobi addressed by FC username that night. He also did with an ARMY w username 애들아꽃길걷자 (saying he was tired in reply to their question)
I know most ppl here now weren’t ARMY at the time of these—just pls be careful of context removed “info”, esp from solos😔
August 23, 2023 at 10:32 PM
ARMY sent lots of love & support (this was back when FC replies didn’t hit max 9999 within seconds of any of BTS posting). And Hobi stayed online, reading & replying to *so many* ARMY under his post. He wasn’t the only member who’d sometimes reply to ARMY in the FC w ref to the ARMY’s username +

For fuller context, with full screenshots, Hobi first wrote in the fancafe, sharing a real time pic from his studio where he’d been working - it was nearly dawn 2017.07.20
He wrote to *ARMY*:
“Off work
Real time (from) HOPE World
I’m working hard/diligently
Our ARMY, pls wait a little bit more ~~❤️”+
August 23, 2023 at 10:27 PM
An ARMY debunked an effort by Hobi solo stans to misconstrue one of his 2017 his fancafe replies as naming his own fans Hoseokies (or some such). She explained the reply, and I can help add even further context and screenshots [thread] +
