Big Hit Music Keeps “Stealing” ARMY’s BTS Ideas, But Nobody’s Complaining

BTS knows all about ARMY’s memes, inside jokes, and “secrets,” but they aren’t the only ones. BTS’s agency, Big Hit Music, is proving once again that great minds think alike!

“Study with BTS” is ARMY’s own content come to life! Some creative fans have been taking video clips of BTS and editing them to look like Zoom calls. These interactive POV (point of view) edits have become especially popular during the pandemic since many people are attending school and work virtually.

This isn’t, however, the only time Big Hit Music has allegedly taken inspiration from fans! The flowchart for BTS’s MAP OF THE SOUL ON:E ticketing guide (pictured right) looks strikingly similar to the flowchart from a fan’s purchasing guide.
