When you think that company stans won't show up to defend Hybe this time and you realize you're wrong

I'm always giving them a chance and watch their performances to find what people see in them and I fail every time. Charisma and stage presence used to be important in kpop but nowadays it seems that people can stan a group even if they don't sing live and look bored on stage (this is not only about Aespa but many rookies these days).

My bias has talent and potential. I cannot believe that he's talking about a tour when a month ago none of us believed he could perform one solo song. The fact that he mentioned wanting to perform like Bruno Mars and play instruments on stage makes me even more excited!!

That was beautiful. The stage couldn't be more perfect. The way the members looked at fans after For Youth..

Quote from Ves

I know who you're talking about and have read all the leaks too. He didn't prophesy everything. The music he DID leak I like very very much, so I'm still hyped for that.

We are in the dark about a lot - you are right about that, and being there is frustrating so I get it. As i said, I was disappointed too when I heard only 3 new tracks. But I just don't see the point in staying mad. It's not going to change anything and the only person who loses out is me. I have decided that I will just look forward to what I know is coming - like the song we're getting that I honestly can't wait for. Life is too short to spend it mad IMO.

I agree with you that accepting what we are getting would be the best for all of us. A part of me wishes Hybe just told us what's the plan for this year because I like knowing what's going to happen instead of having hope and wishing for something that won't come. It'll only make me more disappointed in the end.

I think we got used to getting many songs a year and that's why our expectations are high. I know there are Army who are happy when BTS give them games and RUN BTS but I'm one of those fans for whom music is always the priority and can't be replaced with different content. I'll try to think positive, especially since we might be getting solo music/singles in the near future. That's better than nothing.

Quote from Ves

I echo @paradis and nevermindmejin - we should be putting all our trust in this guy. I get how disappointed you were - after a very big new era build up it felt like a bit of a letdown. But all we have right now is hearsay. Yes, we can try to prepare ourselves - but let's not give in to the rumors and allow them to trigger us needlessly until we know what's actually true.

Seeing the tracklist made me emotional because it's been so long since the last full album. There are many fans who have never witnessed a comeback with a full album yet. I'm totally confused about what's going on to be honest. The leaker also mentioned in Q&A that BTS members will have different projects instead of a group album so I'm guessing mixtapes and collabs.

Quote from Yoonminnie

yall put more trust in other ppl besides bts themselves. quite sad..

The members said more hip hop on the album and we all thought a new era would start with this release.. yet we might not have another album this year.

Quote from Ves

ObsessedWithKpop I put the leak track list under a spoiler for those who would rather not see it.

Ok. I guess I should delete it. I shouldn't have shared it.

I'm happy it's doing well

Quote from paradis

I wonder where the Snoop collab is then? Is it a solo mixtape collab? Snoop hinted at it being with the boys and not 1 member.

According to him it's a collab with rapline only and it won't be on Anthology so maybe they'll release a single later.

This is going to be a rant of a disappointed ARMY.

Some of you probably know that there's a guy on Instagram who has been leaking information about BTS releases, recently shared the tracklist of their Anthology album and also shared snippets of unreleased songs. He's always been right about everything so he's not someone who lies to fans just for the sake of followers.

I usually avoided checking out leaks but since it's going to be BTS' first full album in a while, I couldn't stop myself. Fans hoped we could hear new recordings of old songs, concert remixes, unreleased songs.. Unfortunately 2/3 of this album are just demos of all songs we know. The third album is supposed to be a Best Of but the choice of tracks made me ????

There's no debut track (we were all sure it would be included because it's the beginning of their story), no MIC DROP, no Not Today, no Young Forever, no War Of Hormone, Save Me, Spring Day or Dope. I have no idea who came up with the tracklist but I am disappointed.

We're getting only 3 new songs and I don't think these demos are going to do well on charts or achieve great number of streams..

THAT'S NOT ALL.

The guy said BTS aren't working on a new album now and there are no plans to release a new album in 2022.

Then what's with Yoongi's talk about wanting to release more hip hop songs as BTS? Why were the members talking about working on songs - did they mean songs for their mixtapes?

The anthology was finished in Jan 2022.

So are they planning to focus on solo careers and then enlist?

There's one more thing that made me wonder what was going on. PSY said in an interview that Suga told him he is going on a break/a pause soon. Does it mean enlistment?

As a fan I wish BTS and Hybe could just tell us what's coming because we all don't know what to expect in the future..

Edit: I've decided to remove the tracklist from the post.

I really hope the members can compose the title track by themselves on the upcoming album but seeing Melanie Fontana and Pdogg together in LA makes me lose hope

Jackson kinda hinted at a world tour, it's good to see him doing well.

There was the info about Yoongi eating with Anderson Paak few months ago as well

I heard "Blow" is a song promoting his first English album. It's a genre he's never tried before and the teasers look very promising!

Jackson Wang - Blow (Teaser 3) - YouTube

I really enjoyed his recent releases that's why I made a poll and want to ask you about your favorite English songs by Jackson

The MV for "Blow" is coming out in 9 hours, check out the premiere here.

Quote from Sweet-Spice

Bout to be a mess lol

For now most comments are from angry Onces who wanted JYP to acknowledge Twice's achievements on Billboard.

I wonder if he knows what Sunmi said about WG and BTS paving the way

JYP is a person obsessed with making it big in the US, he wants everyone to read years later that he was behind those groups who charted. Everyone who stanned one of his groups in the past knows how annoying he is.

Quote from ohpuhlease

They are giving out flyers and having a busking event similar to what BTS did in their rookie years ?

I see, a 2.0 is in the making lol

Yeah and Supreme Boi came back to produce for them

Quote from ohpuhlease

Me an army just learning about this. Lol

Yeah because it happened like 1h ago

Original video:

Big Hit's future boygroup currently under the name Trainee A, held a successful busking event in LA today.

ARMY didn't like a Tik Tok video the group uploaded before the show though. In the video members are referencing a scene from BTS's American Hustle Life where BTS gave out flyers to people on the streets to invite them to their busking event. Back then they were often met with rejection and members mentioned that it wasn't something they think of with a smile on their faces.

ARMY thought using that scene as a meme wasn't a good look while others thought it was very disrespectful and wondered who in Big Hit allowed it. The tweet currently has nearly 4,000 quotes. What are your thoughts about the issue?
