        BTS 'Answer' Concept Pictures, An Indirect Message To Sasaeng Fans?

        Big Hit Entertainment

        On August 14th, BTS released two versions of concept photos for their upcoming special album "LOVE_YOURSELF 結 'Answer'".

        For version E, the boys of BTS are found to be inside glass bowls with beautiful flowers and plants, giving them a fairy-like vibe.

        However, as for version S, the photos took many fans by surprise as it was nothing similar to the previous concept! It is quite creepy actually!

        The members appeared to be trapped in a red box with hands, eyes and CCTVs.

        Some fans who had seen the photos mentioned that there might be a chance that the boys might be talking about their experience with sasaeng fans and the behaviors of fans in crowded places.

        There was an incident when BTS's V tried to let one fan know how it feels when people shove phones and cameras into their face by doing the same to her. It was noted that in the end he was just taking a 'selfie' but placing the phone close to her face.

        As most K-Pop fans might have already known, idols tend to have sasaeng fans following them wherever they go, resulting in the idols' mental stress and lack of privacy. This is the same for BTS which suggests the photos with eyes always 'looking' at JungKook and J-Hope.

        Especially in places such as airports, many fans tend to push and make their way as close as possible to the idols, either hurting them or grabbing them in the process. This might be suggested the photos with hands reaching out to V, Suga and JiMin in the concept pictures.

        Finally, the photos with Jin and RM also cause fans to think that it might be the fact that there is always people watching the every single movements of them. They always have to be careful of their actions and their behaviors.

        Many fans are commenting on how BTS's privacy and space should be respected and the same should be applied to every single idols. They also hope that sasaeng fans would stop behaving in appropriate manners and respect them.

        BTS will be coming back on August 24th.

        Do you think this is the message BTS is trying to send?
