˜”*°• it& #39;s been almost a year since i have gotten the global membership, this is my stance on it •°*”˜

a semi angry - more frustrated - thread of a european clown
__DISCLAIMER__

this is no hate thread.
i wouldn& #39;t have gotten the membership if i didn& #39;t like bts.
this has nothing to do with the members of bts.
i bought the membership basically the day it was announced. i was so very excited since i never had the chance to get it over interpark (they didn& #39;t have my payment method available).
over the years, i only ever saw how exclusive the membership was. it felt like a different level
of being an army. it was like the cool kids club.
seeing what was included in the previous memberships outside of the kit felt like wonderland or narnia.
basically, it was magic.

so when the global membership was announced, i pounced.

now, why am i making this thread then?
easy. i am very much disappointed in the global membership contents, with and without the kit.

let& #39;s start with the kit though. it& #39;s the easiest thing to critic.
(if you haven& #39;t seen the contents, look them up on yt or something, i don& #39;t want to get my army membership revoked)
the theme of bts in different cinematic universes is amazing, but i feel like some of the contents shot past the theme.. a lot. like the pen, or luggage tag.

1st my notebook arrived dusty/dirty af. that was.. not cool, but i could live with that.

the washi tape was nice as well
not really my thing, but the design as a film reel was a cute touch.
the poster ended my entire career, so did the photobook pictures (more on that in a bit).
the pin was nice, i was/am a litte disappointed that it only has 1 pin on the back instead of 2, but i can live with it.
the luggage tag feels weirdly out of place, but honestly, bighit had a thing for those last year, so it wasn& #39;t that surprising.
i haven& #39;t used the pen, so idk how smooth it is, but i was convinced it was a re-application gift, so that was weird?
the ticket cards are https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👨‍🍳" title="Man cook" aria-label="Emoji: Man cook">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👌" title="Ok hand" aria-label="Emoji: Ok hand">
if you haven& #39;t lived under a rock for the past year, you probably noticed the outrage about the __untranslated__ interviews and other content of the membership.
despite it being a __global__ membership that was advertised in kr, jp AND eng, the entire kit is kr only.
yeah, i basically paid 50 bucks to look dumb (which happens more often than not with being a european army haha)

now, upon becoming an official member you get access to an exclusive tab on weverse meant for members only.
i won& #39;t show y& #39;all since - again - don& #39;t want to get
murdered by bighit& #39;s cyber assassins.

now, online content wise, this entire situation wasn& #39;t worth it at all, imo.
we& #39;ve gotten birthday posts for each member& #39;s birthday and like 3 or 4 picture posts after tv stages.
also like 2 gif posts.
as nice as those were, not as much, as
i have witnessed official fc armys got back in the day.

additionally, we had the website. ohhh the website. army./zip or whatever. seriously the worst thing i have ever seen.

i have access to the website, since i am an official army member. tell me, why so far, i had no
success in seeing the content on there???

i can& #39;t see the pictures, i can& #39;t see the videos, neither on my phone nor my tablet, nor my laptop.

i paid money, to get the content from different accs on tw bc the website does not work for me.
?????????

coincidentally, weverse is
under construction rn or i would& #39;ve shown y& #39;all.
big fat bruh.

i loved the concepts and i actually was looking forward to january 2020. as it was teased there was supposed to be something released that had to do with
the individual movie concepts... didn& #39;t think it was just the behinds of the photoshoots, and not being released in january at all, but ok i guess, i have been a clown ever since i joined.

don& #39;t get me wrong, the behind the scenes are so cute. but i thought, since they made
such scenes out of it, we& #39;d get like a short film in that setting for each member...

sigh....

yeah, so far? didn& #39;t feel worth it.
the early ticket presale access? canceled in europe.
the early merch access? unavailable for europe.
extra content such as the movies, the muster
stream, and run bts behind+? have to pay for it additionally...

the membership has been very much underwhelming. i hope for the coming membership that bh thinks about it a bit more as it was extremely lackluster compared to what has been included in the previous kr membership
let alone the jp membership.

now, i am grateful that i am in a place of privilege where i can buy the membership, but my life wouldn& #39;t have changed at all if i wouldn& #39;t have gotten it.

will i continue buying the membership? yeah. i am a clown after all. but i do
wish that bighit gives us something that is very much worth the money.
