RE : Why is Bts interacting with NewJeans/Le sserafim suddenly?

The birth of company stans from

Hybe? But according to akp, Hybe stans are already here and vying for top place against SM stans.

“Problems relating to art?” Girl you need to get off akp for a while

Maybe I'm mean but RM listening to NJ's and LSFM's (very popular) songs is hardly interacting with them. And two rookie groups dancing to a very popular senior's song is also pretty expected?

I thought this was going to be something like "RM shows up in their music video!" Not "RM listens to a top 10 song!"

NJ doesnt even interact with anyone outside of hybe, tf else they gonna make tiktoks of

I think RM just has flawless taste, great song choices sir! HYBE Girlgroups Supremacy

If this is some company pr shit then all the BTS members will be posting it on their pages and hyping it up

Imo I do think this run BTS tiktok challenge is a strategy by Hybe (don’t know why they are all of a sudden promoting a bside this late), but RM posting on his stories has no hidden agenda.

He’s just returning the favour. It’s not that deep

its more apparent on reddit

basically a solid like 70%+ of the LSRM stans on reddit, will always be posting about BTS often

For the record, I don’t think this is PR shit at all. RM is constantly sharing his song recs on IG and this is the first time he’s shown newjeans or le sserafim. I think he genuinely just loves music.

Hybe want army money, not necessarily directed dto just BTS tho

Quote from Ves

Whatev - I like Le Sserafim. If that makes me a company stan, sobeit!!! It's chill folks.

Do you like NewJeans too?

I don't support company stans

Lets burn all the witches

What’s so confusing? They did run bts tiktok challenge so RM is posting all of their songs. He posted one for lsfm,txt,nj,f9 & 17 and run bts on his stories. It’s not that deep

Quote from Ves

Well, this is certainly true. He likes to be well-read and that includes music, new and old. He was seen singing (word for word!!) and dancing when New Jeans were performing at that event him and Hobi were at (the name escapes me) He didn't even know he was being filmed, so it's not like someone told him to do it. And this was before his song recs today.

Exactly! Going by OP’s logic RM is label mates with every indie artist in Korea at this point

What we've been knew is that non-fans keep an eye out for EVERYTHING BTS does while stating they don't care about them. I for one have a strong disdain for this Hybe family agenda and it wish to see it burned with fire. There is hope we can get a third cleansing of ARMY-only fans after the world cup. I'll put all my eggs in that basket for peace restored and Hybe losing the upper hand.

this thread has such a weird tone. lsrf and newjeans were highly anticipated and are releasing great music. armys liking them has little to do with some "hybe master plan" to trick armys into stanning hybe groups.

it’s really weird lol it’s not like bts stans started stanning lesserafim and nj before they even released any info about the members or the groups, let alone debuted. people and specifically a number of bts stans only started liking them after both groups released good catchy songs and the members are charming and likable, which is literally the most legit reason there can be to like any kpop group. they came, they delivered, so people like them, simple as that. there’s no sinister master plan here. op is acting like bts stans were simping for them from when they still knew nothing about lesserafim and nj like what some other company stans did to the new debuts in their company of choice in recent years lol it’s truly baffling. this thread is literally nonsensical

why do i have a feeling there will be a special hybe family stage at the end of year including a cover of Run, with no BTS members actually participating They're shamelessly promoting their other groups using Run's viral potential. hybe is so obvious

I am laughing at how people inferred on the company stans agenda without facts or stats as back up. What a fan fiction.

RM - simply thanks for tiktok challenge

Non-fans and antis - He has agendas 1,2,3 of conversion to company stans

Does feel like a PR move considering that all the junior groups posted the tiktok challenge at the same time and BTS TikTok account (which wasn't that active before) liked LSFM's tiktok out of nowhere on the same day. Not to mention RM suddenly recommending LSFM and NewJeans songs even though they were released a long time ago.

But there's nothing wrong with this though. SM idols do this everyday.

isnt the answer bc theyre under the same company?? why the need to drag more than that

What is HYBE ? A company

What is the objective of a company? Making Money

What is HYBE's main source of income? BTS

What is the best way to guarantee this income in the future?

You call this hybe master plan for real ? I call it doing business, every company does this, HYBE also do this. Welcome to the real world.

the point is you're almost insinuating that lsrf and newjeans are not popular thanks to their own merit. i also put "hybe master plan" in quotations for a reason. YOU are the one acting like it is some master plan. you literally said "it's no secret that HYBE is trying to convert armys to company stan". like, it barely even makes sense because theoretically lsrf and newjeans have different target demographics. lsrf apparently has more male fans than any other 4th gen gg. if you are going to make this case at least use the other hybe bgs.

like yeah, most companies want to retain fans but they also want to reach fans that are not already fans and expand their market, which imo has always seemed more hybe's approach.

The random meltdown here. Lol. Citron didn’t lie.

Quote from citron-icy

we're both agree on this point. And i want to be clear but i don't blame HYBE for doing business since they simply do like everyone else

That's not what i said. What I'm saying and what I'm trying to explain is that company stans (regardless of the company) disrupt the industry because they will automatically focus on the groups of the company they follow. In fact we will never know if a group is really popular thanks to the talent of its members or their music or because they come from the right company.

A group like BTS that starts from nothing, it's easy to know since they had nothing at the start and they have to won every of their fans.

But when a group starts with financial privileges and/or in a company with great financial power and contacts in the industry it helps to have a very good start and to quickly become popular or at least maximize the chances of becoming so. But how do you know if he could have succeeded without all that? We will never be.

It's like we're racing the 100m together but I start with 60m in advance. If you win the race no doubt you're faster than me, but if I win it. How can we really be sure that i'm faster than you?

Do you see where I'm coming from and what are the issues it really raises in an artistic industry?

im sorry but this hardly even applies to lesserafim because they got a head start for reasons outside of "hybe privilege". they literally started with 3 well known members, 2 of whom were at top popularity in izone which was a huge group. and they are also in the worst hybe label with the worst reputation (besides pledis). i think the issue people are having here is that this is just... such a weird tangent to go on about lsrf and newjeans specifically just for doing a tiktok challenge to a bts song. yes, they surely ended the kpop industry with something that was not even an actual interaction.

love the insinuation that people can't even disagree with a user or else they're having a meltdown
