Jhope not doing well on charts…should he switch up his sound?

Obviously the song can rise with promo and this is just pre release…but the reception of his song with the general public wasn’t enthusiastic. He has the hype, should he do something more public friendly to get a hit song?

This is what happens when u depend too much on the group fandom. No one in bts has a strong solo fandom(except jk but that's because armys have him as bias) don't expect "ot7" to support it when we know in past results for all members have never been the same.

I'm saying this as an army, jhope has dope music I don't think he needs to change it. Maybe promote it and try to have his own separate audience.

don;t think he released this song to chart. more like to show hes "hey im not a boyband, im more than that so look how unique i am" kinda release. its a pre lease and not a title track anyways so hes TT might even be more crazy. dont go full crazy

Does V and Jimin have strong solo fandom?

Jk has the armys that closes the case Why does he have more streams. V has the biggest solo fanbase but at the end of the day armys are still the monster streamers. Jimin and jk are the most hyped members in the fandom after them it's suga then V followed by others.

The real song for charting is in the next two weeks this is just like a b-side

TT have less chance to debut high because of album.

Why is anyone surprised? Visuals always win in Kpop and Hobi doesn't have them. He's always been hard carried by the more popular members like Tae, JK and Jimin.

We all know Lollapalooza had to settle for him coz they couldn't get the whole BTS.

i think out of the rapline, suga has the biggest solo potential because his production is liked best by the public. i never expected jhope to do crazy well or anything, he’ll do great internationally for kpop soloist standards and will either miss or strike in sk

Regardless of solo popularity did you even hear the song? that doesn't sound like something that will resonate with korean gp

It's an experimental bside from one of the least popular members. Why would you expect it to chart high?

Girl I'm not being biased but jhope is the only one out of rapline who had an actual hit. You forgot chicken noodle soup? HW1 had bigger impact. He's not even my bias. Suga have had hits but the acts he collaborated with were already big ( heize, IU, psy are digitally well known).

What are you talking about!

He’s not doing this for charts!

Its giga cool and he is the Korean Styles

So great - appeal to people outside kpop!

Daechwita was bigger than CNS by any standard.

suga will do better simply off the fact that he has more stans

The GP doesn't like male idols

Wasn't the public friendly thing what led to their burnout in the first place? Hopeworld was a critically acclaimed hit, he doesn't need to prove anything. I'm sure he's just happy to be releasing music he enjoyed making.

I think he knows this song might not chart and who cares?

Let him be

The song is ok at best, quite boring. The english lyrics, as expected from BTS, are cringe.

The m/v is straight up bad i’m not even gonna lie. I get the idea but it was badly executed. Though i will say, they did manage to make Jhope look decent for once so there’s that.

There was no hype. I feel like non-armys only knew about the song after it was released, which was surprising but also not. Jhope was never the most popular member due to him not having the best visuals but like, he’s still a BTS member and his performance on korean charts is quite shocking. lol
