1. Huh what a shame, but their schedule is more spacious next year
2. The Coachella lineup usually drops in mid-September, but since it kept getting delayed, I started wondering if negotiations were hitting a snag
3. They probably turned it down because there was nothing in it for BTS
4. It’s just a hunch, but it seems like HYBE is using BTS as a bargaining chip. If they had actually turned down the offer after weighing it against the benefits of a BTS tour, they wouldn’t have appeared at the iHeart event either…
5. What about LE SSERAFIM?
6. I heard that once you go out there, you’re stuck and can’t leave for a few months, right? There’s really no reason to go to such lengths, is there?
7. That’s right
8. There’s nothing confirmed yet
9. I knew this was gonna happen
10. They’d only do it if there was something to gain; BTS has nothing to lose by not headlining Coachella
