Don't compare the hype of jhope solo and D2

  • When D2 was released bts was on a complete lockdown so the entire attention was on his mixtape , meanwhile when JITB was announced we had taehyung attending fashion event, his in the soop was announced, vlog released two days ago and JK'S L&R so attention got divided. HW1 had more hype than D2 because of same reason.

    There's no comparison.

    Approved the thread.
  • Can't be hyped because they released a vlog and V went to Paris :pepe-joy:

  • op making this thread is somehow comparing them already lol

  • Yeah I agree with you. The timing of his solo is very unfortunate. It's releasing just weeks after a BTS comeback, hiatus announcement, that that, jk's solo and a bunch of other distracting things like BTS announcements that take away attention from him. I wish they spaced out things some more.

  • his strength is the stage and he's coming to SLAYYYY #HOBIPALOOZA

  • V doing blogs and attending fashion event is taking away that much hype? Imo it’s more jungkook work with Charlie pith taking away the attention.

  • The fandom has clearly lost hype for it tho let’s not even talk about non fans. If this whole promo was his plan he did himself real bad.

    He’s alienating non fans with his promotion and fans with the genre he’s doing. Like you can see that he did put a lot of effort into it but he doesn’t understand the market at all, it’s sad because his solo debut which only happens once is just going to be messy

    a manti alert.

    shut up, he can do whatever he wants. it's his growing progress as an artist. he doesn't do it for fame or to appeal to GP, he wants a unique music identity and he got my respect for that.

    No one is talking about the JK Charlie collab, pin drop silence on AKP about its records or achievements. Situation is similar on twitter, Armys are mainly hyping Hobi's solo debut. Armys are not carrying Left and Right, gp is.

  • Honestly I don’t think his intention is to take the world by storm, if he really intended for it they’d make the teaser a lot more visual appealing, l with dance parts (he’s literally the main dancer yet there’s no dance yet), shiny scenarios yet you don’t see anything like that.. but hybe done fuck it with the physical thing but whatever

    I’m still excited tho, I’m the end for me it’s all about the music

    I agree with you, JK'S collab didn't get that much hype I was suprised when such high debut numbers were released. Tae's event and now this vlog got so much more hype.

    It wasn't in his hand he waited years to release their album. He's trying his best to keep the hype.

    Yeah but at the same time I think he waited years already its not recent work he's been working for years on this album and wanted to share it with fans ASAP. But there are some things they couldve done smartly like sending him to some variety shows, releasing his vlog first, more magazine covers etc. I hope they do it for yoongi.

  • D-2 album had more hype because the song was liked by people who heard it at first listen. It was a hit. The success was followed by the hype. It would have done well regardless of the lockdown situation but yeah it might have gotten more people tuning in but that's it.


    If anything the hype of taehyung being in the fashion event got many people active in all social media, they could have streamed the song while watching him pole dance???they didn't . So please don't blame him and his VLOG for this if army for some reason didn't tune in. But i still don't understand why you think it underperforming when he charted well on h100 after chart reform with no radio/payola. Many western artists struggle there but again y'all success stans are never satisfied and live through their achievements. Also another anon is wrong army are streaming l&r they won't be loud on twitter but look at Instagram and tiktok, they all like the song.

    I never said it flopped. I was only talking about hype. There was another thread who compared both albums.
