trending with nearly 2 million tweets and thought "Oh my God. It's happening. The bots are all tweeting in unison on Twitter to signal the global regime change."

Hey BTS Army - when I tweeted this earlier I did not know who V was and had not watched his new video. Honestly I was just relieved the singularity wasn't happening. But I watched his new video and it is amazing. He is not just "some K-pop singer" - he is the real deal.
