In these 2 weeks, Twitter users are probably no stranger to Elon Musk launching Twitter Blue - where anyone from ordinary people to famous people can own blue ticks if they pay monthly. A lot of chaos has happened since this change!
One of them is most evident in the fact that many artists' accounts with many followers have lσst their blue ticks, BTS is also one of them. But it took a few days after that, BTS members' Twitter accounts were registered with Twitter Blue and had blue ticks again.
Faced with this situation, many fans have humorously discussed which member has come forward to pay for this monthly blue tick. Several theories have been put forward, but one member is chosen by many as the most "affordable" for Twitter Blue of the bunch:
Starting on Aprril 19, Twitter announced that it will remove previously verified checkmarks. Now, users have to sign up for Twitter Blue, a monthly paid subscription starting at $8 to get an account with blue ticks.
In addition to receiving the checkmark, Twitter user Blue has "prioritized rankings in chats and search". Twitter Blue features include not only verification, but also an edit button, fewer ads, and the ability to post longer and higher quality videos.
Since the beginning of this change, a number of large accounts as well as those of famous artists have lσst their blue ticks and are just like any other regular account. BTS is also among the many celebrities who have lσst the verified blue check mark despite boasting over 48.3 million followers.
Meanwhile, the official BTS group account operated by BIGHIT MUSIC was unaffected and immediately got blue ticks after the change from Twitter. To this situation, ARMY's reaction was humorous and chaotic.
While some think it's great that the supergroup is now "one of us," others are sad that Twitter has deleted the blue mark they worked so hard to get back then. Also, the most discussed situation is when many people joke that BTS probably won't pay for paid subscriptions because they hardly use the app or the "broke millionaires" would rather spend the money on something else.
However, that didn't happen when a member noticed this and paid for Twitter Blue. Now the Twitter account used by the BTS members has a blue tick. So ARMYs quickly turned to a more interesting topic of "Who finally paid?"
Some ARMYs think they know who is responsible for paying this bill! ARMYs argued and tried to reason out who was most likely to apply for the verified status.
While Jungkook is said to not pay 8$ because he thinks it would make more sense to use this money to buy snacks, V was selected as the person who can most likely pay this monthly fee. The reason given is because he has a lot of his salary and tips after working hard at Jinny's Kitchen:
- I seriously thought it would stay like this until hobi gets a chance to use his phone
- For sure, It wasn't jin or hobi
- LMFAOO WHO LOST THE ROCK PAPER SCISSORS CHALLENGE
- Bet it was joon
- It was decided through rock paper scissor.
- Taehyung, Jinny's apprentice
- joon pulled out his wallet for sure
- i think it's taehyung, paid it using his tips from Jinny Kitchen
- Not Jimin, he didn’t even have Sp0tify premium last time. Probably JK.
- Minimoni came up with the money
- taehyung did with his jinny’s kitchen tips
- what if van koya rj shooky mang chimmy tata and cooky were the one who paid
- feels like maybe elon himself decided to "grant" them this "privilege"
- Not jk for sure
- Tae prolly paid from the tip money he made on jinnys. he didn’t do all that for nothing
- Imagine how hilarious bigнιт little outcome sheet is. It's all these insane stuff they pay for and million won stuff then at the bottom is the Twitter blue cost
- Not jk, that's for sure, the man steals snacks from trainees
The αssumptions are interesting although many people know for sure that вιg нιт Music will be responsible for these. But sometimes, a little humorous talk about such a small detail will make ARMY's day even more fun!
