==Overview==
On August 8, 2020, Archive of Our Own user PoseidonsUnderpants published a work titled “BTS NEW SINGLE "DYNAMITE" OUT FRIDAY 21ST AUGUST”.
The author tagged the work as “방탄소년단 | Bangtan Boys | BTS”, but also tagged 18 of the most popular fandoms on the Archive’s website. This includes the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Harry Potter, Star Wars - All Media Types, 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia, and more. The work itself only contained the release date and the link to pre-save BTS’s single “Dynamite” on Spotify.
The work sparked controversy after a tweet went viral including screenshots of the work, which was up for less than 48 hours before its deletion.

Some found the work funny and responded light-heartedly. Many supported them whole-heartedly.
Even further still, many users found it irritating of the author, stating things along the line of ‘this is why BTS army gets such a bad rep’. Many users pointed out that it broke the archives Terms of Service agreement.
Twitter user @verylimeade wrote this reply to their tweet:
On the other hand, many people called the original author ‘a legend’, saying ‘you forgot your crown queen’, ‘thank you for your hard work’, ‘we stan’, and other praises. many of the comments were other BTS fan accounts saying it was a new and ingenious promotional method, and that they would be following suit.
Many duplicate or similar style promotional works (many fandoms tagged, only consists of commercial links) have already appeared on the BTS Ao3 page. 
Eventually, Twitter user @squishybunny129 replied with a short thread addressing twitter’s response to the work.
