ok so i dont really care about bts. to preface this. but i think the phenomenon of bts fans who think jungkook is princess diana reincarnated is really funny. so if i had to be bts/jungkook’s manager i’d make him lean into it. make him give fake interviews about being scared of car crashes and other things to feed the princess diana jungkook bts girlies
for anyone too young to know this: watching The Truman Show is a vastly different experience now, compared to how it was before youtube and social media influencers became normal
before it was like, "what a horrifying thing to do to a human being! to take away their autonomy and privacy, all for the sake of profits! to create fake scenarios for them to react to, just to retain viewership! to ruin their happiness just so some corporate entity could harvest money from their very humanity! how could anyone do something so evil?"
and now it's like, "ah, yeah. this is still deeply fucked up, but it's pretty much what every influencer has been doing to their kids for a decade now. probably bad that we've normalized this experience"
