BTS had a big year in 2017, and the K-pop superstars are eager to continue their streak this year. After dropping a hit mini-album, the seven-member group has been hard at work on their next comeback. And, if you head to social media, you will find that fans are freaking out over the group's return thanks to a new video.
Seriously, just check out the tweets in the slides below. These conspiracy theories are A+ material.
If you hadn't heard, BTS made history (again) when the group swept awards at the iHeartRadio Music Awards. The event had the group nominated for two fan-voted awards: Best Fan Army and Best Boy Band. BTS managed to take both honors home, and the band accepted the awards with a taped acceptance speech that made fans do a double take.
As you can see above, the video is a simple one. Each of the members can be seen standing in formation as the band's leader RM thanks fans in English. However, it is how the members are dressed that has fans in a tizzy.
Save for Jungkook and a couple others, each of the BTS members are sporting some rather large hats in this video. Beanies and a colorful bucket hat can be found decorating each of the singers, and fans know what that means. In K-pop, hats are often used by idols to obscure their hair color ahead of comebacks to keep fans surprised. The video shown at the awards ceremony showed just enough to confirm most of the BTS members have dark or black hair, and fans are beyond hyped for the look.
After all, fans of BTS have been waiting for such a concept for awhile now. Not only have the members of the group signaled their interest in a toned-down comeback, but fans have pleaded with Big Hit Entertainment to hide bleaches and dyes from its stylists. As you can see below, fans are struggling to keep calm now that the agency seems to have listened to their pleas. Now, all Big Hit has to do is find those bleach bottles it tossed should the company want to troll fans when BTS's next comeback does go live...
