Thread of receipts for when solo stans & mantis start causing issues during BE cb: includes bts talking about l!ne distrib, their autonomy in bighit, links to youtube lives (at the end). Also preorder links/playlist guidelines and an amazing goal's edit at the end to spread.
I've already seen solos fighting over who did what, who gets credited for what, etc. From 5:55 to 7:25 of their NDTV interview, Joon, Yoongi, & Jimin all talk about how it's hard to pin it down. If there's a credit, then sure, praise the member.
First, let's remember that BTS are in charge for BE. When you attack the promo/have problems with the art, you can't hide behind blaming bh bc the boys are the ones in charge. This album is really personal and important to them. We can have goals, but appreciate their work first.
The group and company work together in a collective effort and the boys are never afraid to speak out when something is wrong. Refer to the comments/quotes of this great tweet as well as the ss below from the Harvard case study

Now let's get into it distrib stuff. Here is a graph someone compiled back when Stay Gold came out showing how the lines and screentime distrib is actually very even for their entire career. https://twitter.com/SarahIsJustHere/status/1276901731641839618
Here is the data they compiled https://twitter.com/SarahIsJustHere/status/1276943671800336389
There is already a really great thread on the l!ne distrib stuff. Talks about process and gives direct references to the boys' discussing this. Below this tweet I'll individually quote some of OP's examples directly for easier reference. https://twitter.com/MrsTOH2O/status/1282720929341231111
Hoseok explaining how they choose the distrib depending on who suits the part

Spotify Podcast BTS: The Band, the brand, & army
they were asked about the music making process and this is Joon's answer about how they all work together to complete the puzzle. Here's the translation (scroll up in their thread for the podcast link) https://twitter.com/tannienews/status/1306596078297337858

Pitchfork album breakdown: Hoseok talking at 17:04 how rapline tried out all the parts to see which ones worked best
Now here's Namjoon in a vlive talking about how not everyone's work will be chosen, whether it's vocals/rap/lyrics/melody, whatever it might be. The end goal is to make something that sounds the best.
Even TXT, who are only 2nd years, still get autonomy. Here's Beomgyu explaining how the songs he wrote weren't selected for their latest album Blue Hour but might be in the future. It's all about the final product. He did have a song produced by him on their 3rd album Eternity.
A really amazing thread for the mantis who believe BTS and bighit aren't doing everything in their power to promote. To summarize, they can play the game and pay their way to the top but they won't. Why lose money like others? They know what they're doing. https://twitter.com/soopdweller/status/1277334388615729152
We should support them and trust them. Remember when Weverse Magazine came out and started spilling the tea? Of course they're aware of the things they have to deal within the sketchy industry. They've kept their receipts just like we keep ours. https://twitter.com/soopdweller/status/1277339878120808448
A thread on how solos will victimize and guilt trip. Don't defend being an OT7 to an OT1 or OT2 or even an OT6. They aren't armys if they don't love and support all 7 members. Stand your ground. https://twitter.com/ProtectionArmy/status/1326175933825486849
Finally (unless I find other stuff) here is the Youtube Live playlist for the BE related lives they posted on BangtanTV. If you don't have much time, the ones I most recommend are 2004** BTS and 200507 V RM jhope. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5hrGMysD_Gtxnb_bal4-ZlUNOgwPqU3p
