The Seven TikTok threads weren’t loading since there are too many embedded videos, so I’m just gonna share it here that the Clean Version’s already reached 1M reels on IG.
The Seven (Band Remix) sound also rose by a few thousands during the few days when Clean & Explicit audios were removed from IG & FB reels due to a glitch, and is still continuing to grow with 34K reels now.
Is this a Korean variety show?
He looks really good!
This album seems to have a very defining sound that’s so true to his image and taste.
I agree with byakuyav the person he’s singing to/about in question won’t appear because it’s gonna be purely from his POV.
So it wasn’t FIFA, Scooter Braun or a Western artist that did that? I thought Jungkook needs payola and everybody’s help to succeed. 
I know exactly what BlackpinkHouse said, because I've already read the entire thread. I was not responding to the entire thread, I was responding to the (too thinly-veiled) original intent of the thread, and it doesn't hurt to reiterate the point.
How exhausting it must be to find sinister motives behind everything the “enemy” does.
Let ARMYs toot their own horn and let other fandoms do the same for their own communities too. There is no doubt what ARMYs have unintentionally done for the growth of Kpop and changes in K-pop fan culture as OP said. You denying that won’t make it any less true. We’ve heard a lot of things that the 2nd Gen have done to pave the way for BTS and others too all these years with every accolade they achieved and every boundary they broke, and you never had an issue with that? 
This thread proves too that a lot of things practiced in OP’s own fandom were adopted from other fandoms without us realizing it. Are we going to turn this discussion into yet another mud-slinging contest?
Don't be fooled by the thinly-veiled smugness, this thread is just BTS fans doing what they always do, being patronizing, showering themselves with praise and giving themselves & their faves all the credit for anything achieved by the entire Kpop industry as whole, which is awfully funny considering they simultaneously insist that BTS aren't even Kpop, that they've somehow outgrown that label, and that the rest of us are just mere "kpoppies" as they like to say.
The bottom line is that BTS have achieved what they've achieved on their own behalf, no one else's, and other groups have done the same. No one "paved the way" for anyone else. These groups all have themselves, their labels & their own fans to thank for their respective fame and no one else, other fandoms the least of which.
This forum is really a perfect microcosm of the wider Kpop fandom, and the fact that everyone is at each other's throats every single day instead of doing anything to build each other up should've told you everything you need to know.
BlackpinkHouse has already covered what you wanted to say on the first page and none of us here claimed that ARMYs started these trends with the intention of spreading Kpop other than BTS. It was a happy accident but it undoubtedly became part of the K-pop culture we see today nonetheless.
Maybe read the rest of the thread to see what other fandoms like EXO-Ls, Shawols, Blinks and Orbits contributed to Hallyu fan culture before jumping the gun, yeah?
A lot of what they said was pretty insightful.
Display MoreSeven has really revealed everyone's ass on AKP and on Twitter. I'm starting to question if these same people stanned BTS during Dynamite Era because everything that was said about Dynamite is being spearheaded by diet solos and akgaes about Seven. The only difference being instead of defending the banner "BTS" against antis, it's now only one member that diet solos and akgaes don't have to fake defend or support.
Also, the very LOUD selective amnesia that people are rolling with is so disingenuous to whoever they stan just because Seven has made everyone so fucking bitter, it's insane. We all knew from the jump, POP MUSIC is what this fandom has decided to make their most successful. I'm not pulling that out of my ass, it is verifiable EVERYWHERE if you only took two minutes to research.
Taehyung solos were LOUD and GEEKED that MHJ was going to be behind his solo (so was I, but that was a horrible decision) and they knew even before the promo schedule was released what type of music he would release. And they were fine with it because they were so sure that MHJ promo would enhance his popularity even if the song wasn't gonna get the pop song success treatment. (And even at that, LMA a pre-release, still almost out-streamed another act's main title track, so what was all the fear-mongering for?!) But what did this ever-so-great MHJ do?
Release LMA a day before the tracking period started, making all streams from first day null and void, releasing two MVs that the fandom now has to stream again instead of one, two songs released on streaming platforms that now will get divided attention instead of one etc. This works fine for a rookie group but not for an established fandom like ARMY with what we are used to. Added onto the fact that both songs were slow RnB songs, were they realistically expecting Seven numbers when that is as pop as pop can get? And was the sole focus as it was treated as a singular focus?
All this and when Slow Dancing drops and Tae gets the full extent of whatever MHJ got planned, I will then ask why the hell was his solos losing their damn mind over comparing his pre-releases to a single that was getting the single treatment that BTS has gotten before?
And to OP, I'm not surprised you're spreading debunked lies that Jimin akgaes, which are our blonks, are spreading. When everyone finally sees that you're not a BTS fan at all will be the day we know peace. The only thing I'm surprised about is to see diet solos hiding their thinly veiled rage at Seven and more specifically with Jungkook on AKP. When comparing Seven to Dynamite/Butter/PTD he's not even getting a fraction of their promotion but still has managed to make people so pressed and lying to cope with its success. That's why I have to go back to my initial question of whether they stanned BTS during Dynamite era, because the comments I'm seeing are not real. I can not believe.
Truly. So much history is being rewritten thanks to deluded Jimin solo stans and their doctored “screenshots” of his “YouTube ads” that even Blinks stole because they couldn’t be half-arsed enough to make up their own evidence.
Seven never got half the radio impressions Dynamite or Butter did, nor the same TTH playlist placements or cover despite staying on top of Spotify global for a whole month, nor the global Samsung TV ad that was playing in every household around the world back in 2020. It’s a summer pop song that was always going to do well due to this no-brainer knowledge everyone is aware of but pretending not to:
1) More than half the fandom being pop-biased post-Dynamite.
2) The song genre being GP-friendly, hence why these numbers aren’t just coming from the fandom.
3) The combination between Jungkook’s own popularity (we have these bloody conversations every year and social media/national immigration survey metrics have always shown him to be at the top with Taehyung 
) garnering hype from both ARMYs and K-Pop fans, hence increasing the hype before its release AND the song actually meeting those sugary pop genre-stans’ expectations afterwards. It’s why you saw the Clean version ALONE debuting with around 75K videos on TikTok on its first day when this fandom had to previously always BEG their TikTok counterparts to promote other BTS releases on that platform in the first place to no avail.
I’ve seen actual YouTube ads and Top 3 playlist placements for songs like Billie Eilish’s Barbie OST and constant TikTok ads for Troye Sivan’s new single, yet I’ve never felt compelled to listen to them. And with all those marketing efforts, they still couldn’t dethrone Seven from its top spot. 
Is this his first time getting roof hits?

INSANITY
I thought the monthly listeners gains were petering out at this point since it was increasing by less than 30K these last few days but whuttt
Now I wonder how much more he can rise. Do you think he can reach 50-50’s peak?
Looking tough as hell 
Oooh, hope he can reach a new peak in something
So we didn’t have to wait that long after all. LMA got a little bit of curated playlisting and Pajamas are already turning on him. 
Guys there's more stuff

The gift that keeps on giving
We don't talk about that. Waiting for Tae to enlist to be rid of all the association soon. But just the thought of Jungkook dating will crush so many delusional souls and I'm here for it. I'm tired of seeing Jungkook used as a trophy wife but quickly thrown away when he poses a threat to their main bias in any way. Seven's success has revealed so much. Just FREE JUNGKOOK from everyone but his beautiful partner
Hear, hear! Free him from Taekookers and especially Jikookers who would throw him under the bus at the drop of a hat the moment he so much as shines on his own or stops being their bias’ cheerleader for a mere second.
I didn’t think he could top his first CK campaign but this one blows it out of the water.
