No, I don't see myself as a casual fan but, of course, my attitude may change. There have been comparisons and contrasts to the One Direction experience. There are a lot of differences, of course, but the problem is the type of content they are going to continue with is the reality show and promotional stuff and games and the kind of content I like (stage performances of the entire group of their music) are the kind of thing they aren't going to do for a long time because of burn out and mandatory military service. And I realized after the announcement that if they aren't together as a group, I am not so interested in their solo careers (this was a surprise realization to me, for example, one of them is going to be at Lollapalooza and I was thinking about how it would be good to support him and now I have zero desire to support him. It's an odd change). Never say never, so maybe I'll change my mind, but right now all my BTS stuff is in a Box and it'll be taped up and literally put on a shelf until I decide it's time to open it or chuck it.
