BTS & LINE FRIENDS’ BT21 Go Head-To-Head With TinyTAN In Streaming And Buying Competition
It’s BT21 vs. TinyTAN!
BT21 are animated characters created by BTS as part of a collaboration with LINE FRIENDS.

It was basically a civil way. It turned family members against each other…

Team BT21 didn’t come to play. They straight-up came for TinyTAN.
tinytan are privileged nepotism babies manufactured by their industry to promote unrealistic standards of beauty who do nothing but fly on a mechanical whale over a green screen pretending to be harbingers of peace while ignoring every real world problem #teambt21

Team BT21 pointed out how BT21 has consistently worked hard since Day 1 rather than riding the success of BTS.
Tinytan not even putting out original music lets start there. BT21 got award winning Shooky on their team making bangers like lets be fr #TeamBT21 pic.twitter.com/D8Drez7C6r

And while we have legit celebrities like Megan Thee Stallion, Ariana Grande, and more rocking BT21 headbands…

…we can’t forget the borahae edits.
there’s a reason we only add BT21 characters to borahaeified memes, they’re literally bts’ blood relatives. don’t get it twisted. #TeamBt21 pic.twitter.com/GATExVAPK8

No one has edited TinyTAN headbands onto Drake‘s head. No, we edit BT21 headbands.
this edit was only possible bc of bt21. #TeamBT21 pic.twitter.com/DvFynqA9Gx

Besides, BTS themselves continually have shown their biases.

If asked, without a doubt, you know Jin would say he is Team BT21! He is a dad, after all.
The rest of the members have also shown love for their kids, BT21!
Okay but who was on Yoongi’s business card, Shooky exactly.
