Talk! with ARMY: Recent Episodes

Delilah and Daezy

Talk! with ARMY is hosted by two Twitter mutuals that became friends through the existence of BTS. Frustrated with Twitter’s inability to facilitate nuanced discussion, Daezy and Delilah felt the need to create a space where those discussions can take place. In this podcast, they’ll discuss what’s relevant within the ARMY fandom, as well as discuss the Kpop industry as a whole. If you feel burnt out from the culture that runs stan Twitter, come hang with Daezy and Delilah!

HYBE and Big Hit are some of the most well-known companies within the k-industry (as well as the most successful).

Come join us as we talk about the history of Big Hit and HYBE, some common misconceptions about them, and what ARMYs can do to educate themselves before they get swept away by rumors.

With the official announcement released about BTS starting their mandatory enlistment and planning to reconvene as a group in 2025, there are a lot of things that ARMYs can finally talk about regarding this 4-year-long discourse, and what exactly this means for both the boys and us as we go into possibly the most uncharted waters we've even been in since their debut. Come join us as we explain what exactly this mandatory service is, why the government was so divided on the idea of giving BTS an exemption, and what ARMYs can do while we wait for them to come back.

With award season back in full swing, one topic of conversation we have yet to cover is the idea of an attendance award show, or artists getting awards simply for being present at an award show. Come join us as we discuss what they are, why they are bad, and how award shows can do better to properly award artists and not just hand out participation trophies to those who show up.

After Jin's appearance on Youngji's YouTube show, a recent topic of conversation has been BTS's friendships within the Kpop industry after Jin revealed that most celebrities aren't friends with BTS because they feel too pressured. Since then, a lot of people have begun putting pieces together, taking a look at BTS's friendships across their careers and figuring out why we haven't heard about certain friendships recently over others. Another more annoying faction of Kpop stans has tried to twist Jin's words into something they're not, making it seem like BTS are closer to their faves than it looks or that their fave is exempt from being criticized in any way due to their proximity to BTS. Come join us as we muddle through this discourse and talk about the reasons behind Jin's words and how some people need to stop using BTS for their own personal agendas.

Due to some recent incidents of mobbing and stalking during Jin and Jungkook's respective travels to Argentina and Qatar, many people on Twitter have decided to reopen the conversation of fan etiquette, us included.

Something that is a constant topic of conversation when you mention BTS is their incredible performances that are often heads and shoulders above many acts in the global industry. Come join us as we discuss the qualities BTS have as top-tier performers, how they compare to others, and how BTS has raised the standard for what counts as an adequate live performance.

When it comes to BTS, the most critical thing that people need to learn in order to understand both them and their music...is their come-up story. Their journey to superstardom was not an easy road, and yet despite all the struggles they've been through to get to the top and how honest they've been about the path they took, some people still get their story all wrong. Join us as we discuss the way in which people try to alter BTS's come-up story to make it seem like they didn't struggle as hard as they say they did, only for these same people to co-opt their story and project it onto their faves for sympathy points and support.

Ever since BTS announced their temporary break from group music projects, it has been everything but a vacation for ARMYs as we have been hit with release after release and schedule after schedule for both individual members and for the whole group/subunits. This was definitely a first for a lot of Western media outlets/non-fans, at the very least, who had already assumed from the announcement that BTS had fully disbanded, which brings us to the question: why? What is it about temporary breaks that have people assuming the worst for music groups? Join us as we discuss the stigma around the word "hiatus" and what BTS is doing to break it.

With the rollout of J-Hope's promotions of Jack In The Box, some people were not satisfied with the fact that there was no CD in the physical version of the album, which is fine. However, a faction of people took that dislike to new heights and began to spew manti rhetoric on the timeline and claim that J-Hope was forced into removing the CD from the physical or was unaware that it had happened. This brought a question to our minds: why do some people who boast that J-Hope has full autonomy in his nearly decade-long career suddenly flip the script when he does something they don't like or don't expect? Join us as we dissect these narratives and explain that whether you like it or not, BTS can do whatever they want and don't need fans' permission to do so.

With BTS in the beginning phase of their temporary break from group music, there has been a lot of chaos that has erupted from that announcement. Some were surprised, others were supportive, but some were downright angry at the fact that BTS is even taking a break, to begin with. Join us as we talk about why this break will be beneficial for BTS and why the negative response they're receiving for doing so is unwarranted and nothing more than evidence as to how badly the Kpop industry is overworking its idols.

Lyrics are a very important part of music and can act as a window into an artist's mind. But a question that frequents the timelines of Kpop Twitter is "do lyrics really matter in a song?" and "if you're a fan of an artist, do you really need to read their lyrics?" The short answer? Yes, yes you do. Join us as we discuss lyrics and why it's not cool to make it a trend to not listen to what your faves have to say.

With Kpop on the rise all around the world, it's becoming a lot more common to be a fan of a Kpop group in many countries. And yet, even with this rising popularity, there are a lot of people who are ashamed to be a Kpop fan and will also shame others for being openly supportive of their own favorite Kpop acts, especially ARMYs, who are (as a collective) very unapologetic about stanning BTS. Join us as we discuss the phenomenon behind what causes this shame and why it's okay to be loud and proud about what you like.

The Kpop industry is incredibly fast-paced; so not only do dozens—maybe even hundreds of acts—debut every year, but with those acts come boatloads of content, both music and non-music content. Join us as we talk about the large amounts of Kpop content put out by groups, the rapid consumption of it by fans, and how this standard has deluded entitled people in the Kpop community into believing that the amount of music and other content BTS has put out within the past two years is somehow "not enough".

Even though it's always good to have fandom etiquette, there will always be some fans who take it too far and make it their job to tell others online what to do and how to behave. Join us as we talk about fandom policing and why we hate when people do it.

BTS paving the way is not only a fact but it's been a hot topic in the fandom for years ever since the start of BTS' global takeover in 2017. Despite this, it is the most misunderstood discourse in the entire Kpop community. Surprised at ourselves for not yet making an episode on it, we sought to rectify that! Come join us as we discuss what exactly it means to pave the way, how BTS is doing it, and why the things they have achieved can be credited to nobody in the Korean music industry but themselves.

Gatekeeping has been a recent hot topic in the fandom with the rise of Tik Tok ARMYs gatekeeping BTS' music from locals and the backlash that they received by Twitter ARMYs for doing so. Come join us in this episode as we talk about what gatekeeping is, why it's bad to gatekeep BTS' music, and the impact it can have on not just the potential fans they can get, but also the reputation of ARMYs as a whole.

Ex-ARMYs are a topic we've covered before, but with the rise of so many ex-ARMYs going from just not being a fan of BTS anymore to straight-up hating them in the span of years (or even months), we thought it was time to address it. Come join us as we discuss this peculiar phenomenon, the problems these people cause, and the multiple different ways people can descend down the pipeline without realizing it.

We've briefly touched upon the problems that BTS has faced in the process of becoming the world's biggest music group in a handful of earlier episodes, but there are a lot more layers to this conversation than people think. Join us as we discuss the racism and xenophobia targeted towards BTS, the lack of solidarity from most non-ARMYs, and how BTS' experience fits into the larger issue of anti-Asian discrimination across the globe.

BTS being one of the biggest acts in the world is no secret, and their come-up from obscurity to fame shows how much work they and their fans put in to get them to where they are today. But as we all know, where there is light, there is also darkness. Come join us in this episode as we talk about the negative sides to being this famous, and how BTS acting as a bulletproof shield for other K-acts has allowed these K-acts to promote overseas with much less pushback from the general public.

Happy Holidays, everyone!  Since winter season usually means award season for BTS, we thought we'd take an episode to reflect back on and share our thoughts on everything BTS has done at the end of the year such as live performances, awards won, and music released from 2013 all the way up to 2021.

After BTS' appearance on the James Corden show around the middle of November, there was a lot of buzz surrounding James' insensitive joke towards ARMYs and how BTS handled his "apology" mid-interview. But out of everything that was said and done, one thing was very clear: BTS and ARMYs only have each other. Come join us as we discuss the details of what happened, how this is far from the first time that BTS and ARMYs are the target of hate, and why it's important that artists and fans need to have each other's backs.

In light of the absolute dumpster fire that was the ticket sales for BTS' in-person concerts in LA, many people have expressed their contempt for Ticketmaster, the ticket sales and distribution company that was in charge of those sales.

D'Angelo Wallace is a famous YouTube commentator with millions of subscribers. He is known for covering controversial topics/people with incredible amounts of research and nuance and is often praised for being an unbiased voice, which is refreshing in such a polarized landscape like the internet.

The Kpop industry is extremely competitive. Those who listen to Kpop music constantly witness the rise and fall of dozens of groups every year before they even get the chance to make a name for themselves. Even groups that were at the top of the food chain a few short years ago have either plateaued or declined in popularity and success. Yet, amongst all that, BTS have gone further than any Korean music act in history and they don't seem to be slowing down any time soon. So, why haven't they fallen from glory just yet? Join us in this episode as we talk about the vitality of Kpop groups, their expiration dates, and why BTS doesn't have one; or at least...why they don't have an expiration date as soon as the others.

It's been a few days since the 63rd annual Grammy Awards and we (along with every other ARMY) were utterly disappointed when BTS did not win the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, which was then followed by the Grammys using BTS to shamelessly milk views from ARMYs by putting BTS as the second to last performance, making both us and BTS wait for hours just to see them on TV. Along with other aggravating issues, we thought it would be best to use this episode to rant about all the things that went wrong starting from their nomination back in November leading all the way up to their performance on March 14th.

A bit exhausted from talking about the usual Twitter discourse, we thought it would be good to destress by taking one episode to talk about something cute and ended up choosing Bon Voyage, BTS's iconic travel series where they pick a country, fly there, and get into all sorts of hijinks as their camera crew just watches idly.
