I love Tae’s rebellious streak. We need more idols like him who can stand up to fans and say no when fans are crossing the line with their demands.

The concept of fansites is beneficial...when you're at a public event that allows you to bring in big cameras like fan signs or when they're organising huge fan projects for the members via crowdfunding. But breaking the rules and smuggling forbidden items into a concert venue, knowing how it's banned for security's sake and knowing how cases like mass shootings and terrorist attacks are more prevalent in certain countries than others, is still bad no matter how you look at it, even if the fansite is generally a good one. I agree that security personnel should've done a better job but people should also learn to follow the rules especially when it deals with safety. Just because you personally don't mind it because you like their pictures, doesn't make it right. And I personally don't like the idea of some fans being allowed to get away with not following the guidelines while others are not just because they hold some special position in the fandom. Like I mentioned before, I wish these fansites were actually designated a space by BigHit at these venues so that they could do their business legally and not be bumping into or getting in the way of regular fans. You know, like, allow them to legally stay in their own lanes.

Just like how people who argue in defence of fansites bring up the "good" ones to prove their point. *shrugs*

I mean, I enjoy the pictures too but I can't help but think that seeing fansites getting away with breaking the rules and then sometimes framing nearby ARMYs of doing it by planting their cameras in the latter's bags leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

I wish BigHit could ask these venues to arrange a designated spot solely for fansites to make it legal. Because as beneficial as they are, certain fans shouldn't be gaining privileges to break the rules over everyone else.

I linked a Jungkook fansite who uses it a few pages ago.

On the other hand, there are some fansites who are actually following the rules and have switched to using Huawei phones to film and take photos instead of bringing DSLRs into the US venues. If you look at the replies, most ARMYs are actually thankful for it. Click here to view the Tweet

Aite, we get it, Kooks. You ain't a baby no more!

I didn't even know Ari's concert was today! Glad to see he enjoyed himself. And his English though, I'm so proud of him!

He must've felt so proud to hear their song on US radio Click here to view the Tweet

I guess many people bought tickets at the last minute or at the venue. I was worried about Day 2 at first because sales are usually bunched up on Day 1 for each stadium but I'm so happy to be proven wrong. Seeing them having the time of their lives and shedding tears of joy is touching.

There isn't that much footage or photos from Day 2. I think we spent all our energy yesterday, lol.
