BTS ARMY Trend "8 BTS" On Twitter, But It Isn't What You Think

Time and time again, BTS have continually proven themselves to be the biggest OT7 stans.

Even when working on solo content, the members always show their love for working as a group.

“it feels really different, i feel much more comfortable when there’s seven of us together i just want to perform with our members on stage as soon as possible. Mentally it feels different when im alone than when im with the members” oh yoongi 🥺 pic.twitter.com/Q2OlrBvKSd

As BTS and the number seven go hand-in-hand, ARMY were confused when “8 BTS” started trending on Twitter.

Was the unexpected trend referencing BTS’s “eighth member?”

It is no surprise that ARMY got the two phrases trending, given how eagerly fans were participating. But it certainly confused fans who weren’t sure what was going on.

8 BTS and 10 BTS 😂😂 although these trends are related to songs that “get to know me” but they look so weird 😭 BTS is 7 always. pic.twitter.com/9g91M53o3i

But if one thing is for sure, everyone knows BTS is always seven.
