Chapter 14: Dream (Part 2) - How My K-Pop Experience

RUN BTS! Episode 52 - BTS Escape

In this episode, the members were divided into two teams and had to play a series of games to escape the rooms they were locked in. The winning team would get a prize.

Nothing strange so far.

After finishing the episode, I was ready to move on to do other things, but something bothered me (as usual).

13:00 min into the episode, one of the team got into a room. In one side stood a clock with some hieroglyphs around it.

I thought “Is there anything of importance here?”

I could read three time: 12:22, 03:22, and 09:22. Nothing much there.

The next thing I did was to go through the hieroglyphs and search for their meaning. Oh, how I nearly broke my brain to pieces while searching. Until I saw the unthinkable...One of the clock’s figures showed a man on his knees, bowing with arms stretched forward...

It was not. It was the private parts of a man...Yes, a p*nis.

I couldn’t talk nor think straight.

What was that thing doing here?

I was baffled.

I decided to go through the episode again and pay attention...to just anything.

And oh boy,

“Call me” signs, team names: sleeping girl and sauna, a map, that “thing” on the clock, lollipops, etc.

I felt nauseous but I loved the food I ate so much that I would not allow myself to vomit it.

In the following weeks, I went through “some” (a lot if not all) of their older content to see if perhaps there were things there as well.

Oh boy...References to sexual services, just everywhere.

But why?!

I didn’t ask for it. Nor their fans (I think...).

So, to who were these “services” supposed to be provided?

I could only assume that these “people” were perhaps “VIP Fans”. “Fans” who could grant more influence, power and money in return for these “services”.

Was it the same for other groups?

I went searching and oh...

All I wanted was to listen to a new genre of music. But here I was being shown things I didn’t sign up for.

Oh, how I wept for people (once again) I didn’t know.

I had so many questions: WHY?! just Why?!?

They speak so loud and radiate confidence itself but these are the things being done in darkness, are they forced? Do they like it and its benefits? Are they forced and perhaps trying to esca- THE DREAMS!!!

At that moment, I remembered the dreams I had made.

I also remembered that BTS were doing some promotion for their 2018 world tour.

They kept on insisting that something would happen during their love yourself tour and I thought "Man…Someone gonna die! I gotta tell people before their world tour starts!"

Bruh

I gathered the information related to their run episode 52 to make a video.

There was a problem though. Multitasking does not always work and is forbidden in some situations...The video was done and uploaded fine. As you can see, they’re still doing very well today. Good for them.

But looking at my failed grade was “funny” ...

If I could go back in the past and slap the daylight, sunbreak and moonlight out of me for that dumb idea...

Digging my own hole and then complaining...

Unfortunately, it would not be the last dumb idea. There would be many more.

Like what?

The video had gotten some views, but I did not think it was enough.

“What if these connections to these “VIP Fans” are real? and what if one or more of the members get killed? If their fans get to know of these things, perhaps they would be so angered that it could be the start of a revolution where they would be manifesting at the building of Hybe (RIP BigHit) and at all the other music companies.”

It looked so fabulous in my head.

So fabulous I started drafting some plans.

For what?

What would be one of the greatest ways to talk to ARMYs face to face in a single place?

Next stop: The Love Yourself Concert at the 02 Arena in London.
