Which BTS member will have the most success with their solo album?

Now that one member has just released an album, who will y'all think would be the most successful among them? my bet is on jimin and suga(jungkook too?)

1. Suga, because i think by constantly releasing songs and producing songs he has understood what public likes..atleast to some extent. The songs are hit or miss sometimes that's a given. He has got the most experience and has put out bangers like eight and that that(both were GP hit) i know they are collabs and other artists are already established in korea. Here i am talking about his producing skills. He knows what people like. If daechwita was released as a solo song it would have been a hit or atleast would have done average. In short he knows public taste and is working on his vocals too so i am thinking his songs will do the well

2. Jimin. Because unlike other members i think he will have the most *idol* like debut. Including promotions too with music show and etc... he said he is staying with producers to get an image and sound of his album. I am sure the producers he has been working with already knows what he is capable of and that's what makes me bet on him. Already established producers are safer bet than bts vocal line trying to do everything by themselves (not saying they are not capable because many of them have released the songs i love A LOT like magic shop and blue and grey and are a hit too) Another thing with jimin is his vocal tone is very pretty and almost all his solos are fandom favourites and are successful. The genre he goes for are popular and you add his dancing in it, that's a recipe for a hit. He is the safest bet for me in vocal line.

3. Jungkook- He will do the best no doubt if the songs he put are anything like euphoria and still with you. I am not sure about it if he releases songs like my time and stay alive..they didn't age well like the other two.. neither for me nor for the fandom. The only reason i am putting him here at 3 is that.. that they are a hit or miss BUT If the songs do hit, he is going to be unstoppable. Might achieve the group level success of not atleast closer to it. And everyone's bet is on him.

4. Taehyung: His solo osts which reached GP did so well in charts but not the songs like stigma and singularity(in korea). It all depends on the reach the songs get. But then again those songs are years old so i don't know if he will do anything like that again. By seeing the snippets he has released they are completely different from the songs he released few years back.

If he sticks with snow flower, travel with me and sleep/dream snippets like sounds he will do well.. these songs have a potential if they reach gp with good promotion. He has a strong fanbase backing him up but them again if hybe screws them all like they did hobi even the strongest fanbase can't do anything.

RM, is already established and i loved mono but then again it's been 3 years since it was released so i don't know what sound he is going for his solo. The only reason he would not do well on charts is because of the fandom itself, they are not supportive to him as they are for others(y'all can deny how much ever you can) more than other he needs gp by his side because just like hobi he doesn't have strong fanbase either.

Jin said he would be the last to release his album which i think will be released once he comes out of military. So i do hope he releases a single atleast like super tuna before that and makes some appearance in variety show. I feel hybe might give him a variety show in the future (they should if they have brains and want to promote their artists to the GP because none of them are known to the gp except new gg)

And I'll never forgive taehyung for not releasing travel with me studio version.

Right? It would have been picked up by IG and YouTube shorts/vlogs. The song has potential for being a sleeper hit. But he has said he already deleted it😭 imagine if he has deleted such a pretty song how good the new ones might be🧐

Quote from Onewbias

Looking at Hobi's release, they might go for experimental music, especially rap-line since they got the skills for it. Yoongi said he wanted to try a different genre in the dinner party so it might not be gp-friendly. Hobi is capable of releasing gp-friendly music too but he went ahead and did the 180 degree reversal so... brace yourself

For maknae-lineand Jin, I agree with your takes.

That could happen because hobi did completely change his sound. The reason everyone was counting on him to do well was his previous releases ego and chicken noodle soop had choreos and were fun..may be everyone expected the same? I just hope they don't look at the charts and change the musical route they are going for and opt for safer options.

That song was a certified hit 😭😭 I cannot wait for kth1.

KTH1 is my dream for 5 years:( He is going to serve the looks, aesthetics and vocals. Did you see how happy he was in the vlog talking about the album? He is like a kid who is given freedom to do whatever he wants for the first time in his life and taehyung loves freedom like no one else. My baby 😭

Quote from tetetete

am i the only one who thinks jimin will take a new route

like his weverse interview was very intriguing and he said he wants to be more explicit

JIMIN: I just think I can show something a little more raw about me. That might include a more mature side, too, but what I’m really interested in is showing something closer to my real, personal rawness directly in a format like music or music videos. By doing so, I think maybe I can show something I never have before.

What do you mean by “raw,” exactly?

Jimin: Like, something that shows the things I usually think about a little more honestly? My thoughts are already well-represented on BTS’ albums, but, you know, some of the older members have already dealt with some darker material on their solo mixtapes. I think I’m trying to do something similar.

THIS GOT ME SO EXCITED + I HOPE WE GET A YOONMIN SONG

He means he wants to show his mature self and i still think he is going to go for pop which could fit his dancing styles too..

And i really don't want collabs between the members, all the hype will go to that song because army are starving for any BTS interactions at this point lol members should focus completely on the image they are trying to give out instead and ofcourse there's nothing wrong if they themselves want to do it.

It's such a good time to be a taehyung stan. He looks genuinely happy these days, I cannot wait for his next move. He's always surprising us 😭😭 I hope he gets to do everything he's been wanting to try ❤️ that whole convo about his album in vlog makes me more excited about it , he has a great taste I trust him with the whole process.

He is going to feed us so well he knows we were deprived of content few years back and were starving so he won't hold back. Do you think his album will release this year? I think he might do that so he can focus on acting next year.

Quote from elliejr

I think we'll get the album next year and tbh I'd rather have an album next year than December, but he seems interested in many other fields as well so I don't think he's going to sit around just working behind the scenes till next year, I'm hoping for some solo content this year as well. 🙏

Me too but knowing his love for december and winter sjdhdhdhd

Quote from doesitneedsaying

I honestly don't know, it depends on music they release. I don't think their names will help them in the long run. Regardless of the sound they choose their debut will get them media attention but to be really successful their songs need to click with gp.

I need to add that I'm worried that none of the members will have an actual physical copy i think that talking about sales can hype up their work too

I would be so pissed if I don't get kth1 vinyl. One of the reason for the fear is knowing whether will we get their second album? Or is it a one time thing and if they don't click with gp back to being a group? Even that is not going to help with enlistment looming over their head. If only the company gave them 10% of what the members gave them. It's crazy how much they held them back..gives me chills.

Quote from sleepycats

The Pop Culture Psychic said that RM and JK will have the most successful careers!

And is this psychic with us in this room sleepycats?🎤

Quote from elliejr

No pls not a December release I hate it.

none of us want it in december but t's kinda cute how much he loves winter sjdhdhdhd it's symbolic and so taehyung.

Quote from byakuyav

I agree with OP. Suga, Jungkook, and Jimin's styles are more suited to the general public. Taehyung himself is also aware that his favorite style of music is not liked by the general public or even by the fandom. But does he care? I don't think so. I think Taehyung will only release songs that he wants and likes just like the songs he released before. It won't bring him chart success, but it will bring a different kind of satisfaction.

that's what makes him super hot

Quote from quantumphysics

Half of the members are not even about to cater to kpop so we will see. As long as BTS have fans who move in the kpop circles they will not get their proper due. For them to truly get the success they deserve they need to stop being kpop.

Do they have the time for making their own name in non k-pop fields now when the enlistment is right in the corner?(only jk has) Do you think the company will be generous enough to give them multiple chances to get hits when there are like seven of them? I personally don't think so. That's why only people who are catering to kpop market with pop songs will do well. Initially though. Not talking about long term here.
