The struggle is real!
American ARMYs couldn’t contain their excitement when it was announced that BTS was coming to America.

Last month, BIGHIT MUSIC shared that the group would be heading to Las Vegas for four special shows as part of their PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE tour. The group would be coming to the city during April at the Allegiant Stadium, and it would also be broadcasted for fans at the MGM Grand Garden.
On March 2 (PST), the tickets for the four shows came on sale for those who had “BTS GLOBAL OFFICIAL FANCLUB ARMY MEMBERSHIP.” This was then due to be followed by the second and final presale, which would be held on March 3, and the general sale would open on March 4.
As expected, when it came close to the time of the presale, fans shared their experiences of trying to get tickets, and it was definitely every ARMY for themselves.

Yet, one of the worries for ARMYs was with the announcement that all the tickets would be released on the first presale.
Due to overwhelming demand during today’s @BTS_BigHit BTS GLOBAL OFFICIAL FANCLUB ARMY MEMBERSHIP Presale, all tickets for the @AllegiantStadm shows have been purchased. All shows are now sold out. There will not be a General Verified Fan Presale or General Public Onsale.

Unfortunately, many were right to be worried as no sooner had the tickets been released at 3 PM (PT) on March 2, all of the tickets had been sold out, and Ticketmaster announced they were canceling the rest of the sale periods.

Yet, even those who struggled to get tickets had the funniest reactions on social media, sharing their feelings on not getting tickets but also happiness for those who managed to get the “Gold Dust” tickets.
Although there were mixed opinions on fairness, ARMYs shared their pride in the achievement by the members. It was a huge deal for fans that the group managed to sell out the stadium, which can hold 65,000 at full capacity.
BTS sold out four shows in Vegas for a STADIUM concert on the first night of ticketing. That is some biggest-artist-in-the-world behavior.

Of course, it was always going to be difficult trying to get tickets. Despite Suga trying to tell ARMYs otherwise, even his foolproof advice couldn’t have helped fans.

Hopefully, BTS might add more shows amidst rumors of a possible world tour with such a high demand for tickets in America. It once again showcases BTS’s popularity and how dedicated ARMYs.

SEVENTEEN’s Dino Posted An Innocent Picture Of A Pickle, But His Fellow Members Made It Unnecessarily Chaotic
And a Carat started the whole ordeal 😂
You know a K-Pop group is close when the members toy with each other on social media, and no group shows proof of this more than SEVENTEEN.
Recently, maknae Dino posted a picture of a slice of a pickle on Weverse. It was a simple photo, and he posted it with an equally simple comment that was just a green heart since the pickle slice was vaguely the shape of a heart.
Rather than agree with Dino’s opinion, however, a Carat posted a rather hilarious comment that caught the attention of some of SEVENTEEN’s other members.
Carat: I see, Jeonghan‘s butt looks like that
Woozi: 🙈
Jun: It looks like 🍏 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Once Jeonghan saw these comments, he couldn’t help but join in on the silliness 😂
Jeonghan: You’re saying it looks like a butt~??
Jeonghan: It looks like a butt.
Jeonghan: You mean it’s precious~??
Of course, Carats were wheezing over this interaction between the Carat and SEVENTEEN members, and the reactions to it are priceless.
💎: i see, jeonghan’s butt looks like that
//Looks at the FLATTENED pickle…. Uhm ok. https://t.co/gohnV2sHVt

This really is just another day of being a SEVENTEEN fan, because you know that something like this is bound to happen again soon!
