(spoilers?)
idols used to mock bts for coming from a poor company and now, 10 years later, idols pretend to be poor to be able to match to their story. unbelievable.
exo stopped attending awards and stopped publicly supporting bts the moment bangtan started taking home all the awards, there are videos of exo members looking visibly upset when the hosts announce bts name as winners and y'all wanna tell me hybe buys awards 😭🫵
kpop companies in 2023 making coming from a poor company an aesthetic to gain some sympathy but bts were constantly getting the door shut on their faces for actually living like this and still spreading their music honestly
billboard exposing the number of album versions kpop groups use to debut

is so funny to me after stans spent a year on twt praising them for that bts article
blinks fighting for their life to prove jungkook was at blackpinks stage that they even got sasaengs to come out of their hellhole to tell them he was attending for kid laroi
one direction fans be like "bts could NEVER make this absolute peace of white mediocrity and stereotypical pre-teen boy band music" and i just have to agree
this new era of kpop groups booking 80k capacity stadiums so they can put on sale only half of the tickets and brag about a stadium tour for headlines only needs to end
hybe offered kpop idols to create a weverse account so everyone would've been able to interact with them but those idols chose to stay on youniverse/bubble because their fans have to pay to get a message from them.
the black label is gonna try and squeeze this jimin collab down to the bone so they can fund the company and other artists from yg can freely switch so im gonna need you to not waste money on useless merch and focus only on the song
pink venom was 90% english, their album was categorized an english album by billboard themselves, they flew to america to perform for vmas (even bought an award) and jimmy kimmel, started target tour, paid twt users to talk about it, got playlisting and spotify deals
i remember when bts lost their grammy and the academy posted a racist caricature of them and for months, even years, y'all used it to make fun of them and now it's happening to other artists.... just like we said it would happen
your hair is fried, your roots are yellow, your music sucks and the only reason you're relevant is because you're chronically online and you might as well be a twitter troll under popbase. you're wasian, live in an asian country, speak an asian language but couldn't be more white
it's really funny to me how yg presented blackpink's album as an english album to appeal more to the western industry yet bts was nominated two times for two different grammys with two different korean songs
bts having a big fanbase that buys their music is fradulent but blackpink getting deals with spotify, hosting a buying party, 17+ versions, doing the target tour and paying twitter accounts to show fake enthusiasm for their album is totally normal
that video reached the korean side too and k-armys are literally quoting it but cassandra and jacob want to tell us their opinion about how it’s not that serious
the difference is that billboard was bitter bts was outselling big acts so they accused them of something they didn't do, while this time bp got all the connections and deals and bb still called their asses out on the album being mostly english and the 17 discounted versions
“why only them?” cause 2nd gen failed to break worldwide and spread korean music in biggest music market, 3rd gen is being carried by bts only and 4th gen are a bunch of bts wannabes that last on melon top100 for two hours
the only people i ever saw bts being comfortable with are the ones who have been in the industry for longer than most kpop groups who kpop stans swear they are "friends" with. older k-celebs in the industry have been openly support bts and they vice versa, unlike many groups.
WHY DID YOU PEOPLE HIDE THAT BLACKPINK WAS MENTIONED IN BEYOND THE STORY BTS BOOK?! They mentioned teddy and inevitably blackpink idc this is a crumb to me!!
broke records and debuted 30 on hot100, probably gonna rise next week and only kpop stans hate on it while music experts like it. unlike someone takes credit for shit she didn't even do
thats bc bts never had to lie about being poor. their company was going bankrupt and they couldnt even debut. fiftyfifty can pay tiktok to change algorithm, for playlisting, can pay for radio, can pay for promo. fiftyfifty has to lie to get some sympathy that's the difference
bighit not gonna delete a song just for a nasty ass man in the credits and even if they end up taking it off, which won't happen, we will still be streaming it like it's in the album
sm stans always act like they got some beyonce level of vocalists in their stan list then when you look it's just some guys screaming in a high pitched voice to make it sound like a high note
If any of you genuinely cares about any of these advocacies, it wouldn't matter who the messenger is, instead you should be cheering them on, bcs they are lending their fame and their voice for such important issues, but no you have to make it an issue about who did it first
south korea using bts for years for their mediaplay tactics and even admitting they have mentioned them multiple times during meetings with other world leaders, gifted their albums, giving them a seat to important sht so the president could gain some votes from the general public
i think.. I THINK.. that seeing bts crying and talking about their dorm and everything made those words a little heavier than they actually were and we all got emotional and how do i blame this on liam payne
what have you guys achieved? born pink did less sales than their last album, none of their songs charted in top20, they are freefalling on spotify, no paks, no raks, no
#1
digital song sales, no
#1
on itunes, no youtube record
believe me when I say I haven't seen this much hate towards a group since BTS active days this is not normal, BTS at least got army which is a big fanbase that got their back, but fearnots are still a growing fanbanse we can handle it but not enough, hybe gotta do something asap.
the whole "scandal" happened just in time during their comeback, all the 'leaked' pictures came from HER phone, and when fans asked yg to take action they responded with "blackpink is flying to america to promote their album" and y'all still had doubts it was them all this time
bts left for military being the only korean group in top10 on hot100 and they will come back being the only korean group in top10 on hot100 that's crazy
jisoo was given by teddy a remake of a chinese song and to not make it look like the original they slapped a boring beat drop over it, giving her the most boring choreography with expensive clothes so no one would notice her being stiff on stage but they worried about jimin
paying influencers to hype you up, getting deals with spotify to break a few records, never touching top10, less debut sales than a 4th gen group, their arena concerts not sold out and it's been a nearly a month and you wanna tell us they are carrying kpop? their legs will break
sexually assaulted women and used them and manipulated them for money but he thinks staying in his room for 6 months is enough punishment AND he gets to keep his job
Lucas opens up in his new documentary:
“I stayed only in my room for 6 months (...) had i not done that, this wouldn’t have happened. (...) I've done a terrible thing. Nothing can justify what i've done. Now, my views have changed. I realized many bad things about myself.”
being a socialite and meeting up with a/b/c-list celebrities whenever you're not in the studio doesn't mean your fave has impact, it just means someone else is doing the work for them while they work on keeping the group's name in people's mouth.
taehyung always talks about how he doesn't like being misunderstood for his facial expressions but solos are always trying to give this man a little sob story for everytime he doesn't crack a smile
