It's not a bop, not a flop, it's the biggest fraud lmao
They literally count 4 (damn 4!) songs as 1. Can you imagine this shjt?
He released gray album with 2 versions of LC on it, english and korean, which streams are counted as 1 song (which is already a fraud and was suspicious from start cause no title of album can get more streams than prereleased single which he got nust week ago). Then he released pink ep with remixes where he, aside from 2 remixes and instrumental, also has 2 versions (same english and korean) of LC. So both gray and pink eng and kor versions of LC can be added to playlist for streaming and streams from them all are counted as 1 song.
Can you imagine?
Basicay all his numbers of 1 song and "records" and all those screams about "he ended kpop" he gets and is hyped for by amis are actually numbers of 4 songs combined. The fraud and payola for it is going HARD hard here. I wonderhow much hybe paid spotify for this so their privileged dude could manage to get himself those "records". I mean I knew hybe'll go all out for one of their faves but even I couldn't imagine such cheating.
Well, here comes one of the privileged ones. Knew that once hybe will start to promote their fave members the sabotage of JITB will be even more blatant but it still makes me sad and angry. Just can't help it even tho I saw it coming..
Ugh, hopefully Hoseok starts to trully prioritise himself only cause no company, no fans deserve him or his talent and hopefully he indeed didn't renew so waiting for official announcement of it to finally celebrate Hoseok's freedom.
At this point I don't think brands are fighting for Hoseok to give him smth as trivial as ambassadorship.
Dior obviously loves him, any brand would if someone would pull off their clothes the way Hoseok does. Dior main heads followed Hoseok literally on same day their new brand ambassador was announced. Who even does that? And he also was introduced to Dior CEO.
Louis Vuitton treatment of him was like he is the royalty and their adopted child. Literally. Do you know that he even stayed in their hotel?

Hermes is so exclusive that even one fact of Hoseok getting invitation means there is no one as impactful, desirable and valuable as him and like that is not enough Hoseok even met Hermes main heads which speaks volumes.
There is that thing of LVMH and Hermes being rivals, so it is interesting that Hoseok is desired by both sides.
So Idk what to think. Maybe they are fighting for him to get the right to make his clothing line or collection. Maybe the fight is to make costumes for his upcoming (hopefully) solo tour. Maybe Hermes and LVMH decided to cooperate on something and thus Hoseok is there for both. If it's indeed ambassadorship then it's smth really big like him going to be an ambassador for entire LVMH or something exclusive like LVMH signing him but allowing him to work with other brands cause they wanted him so much and it was his condition since he didn't want to limit himself.

And seriously I doubt in kpop fashion debut has ever been as iconic as Hoseok's ones. It's like fashion world has been waiting for Hoseok for years and once he stepped a foot into it all hell broke loose. Watching those brands fighting for Hoseok was so funny, never thought fashion week can be this entertaining lol
For real, who is even doing it like him?.. The main character indeed.
Nowadays there some "inflation" feeling of all those ambassador deals cause it really started to look like everyone and their moms can get such deal, especially this month when so many brands announced their new faces, but even in such conditions Hoseok managed to stand out in his relationships with brands. We obviously don't know what exactly going on and what deals are planned or in the planning, but the fact that 3 biggest brands want him is phenomenal. Probably the most mindblowing one out those brands is Hermes cause they are apparently THE luxury of luxury brands, they don't give af about using celebs as ambassadors, they don't give af about amount of money client have too and can put a billionare on waiting list (actually now the fact that they dressed Hoseok for GDA is even more impressive) and yet now they invited Hoseok, and if that wasn't speaking volumes already they also actually have rival story with LVHM.
Even from the above alone its already clear that Hoseok is the main character of fashion world, his impact and relevance are just unprecedented but even this is not all.
Louis Vuitton has been treating Hoseok like a royalty. He hasn't been announced as ambassador yet:
1. Hoseok was the only one guest allowed through vip entrance to Louis Vuitton

3. They use his video to promote their collection (it's marked sponsored, yet he isn't even ambassador).
4. He literally was the only celeb who wore fit from new collection and the color they dressed him in wasn't even on runway (btw, LV sat him near artistic director of LV woman's collection)

If there is more vip treatment than this.. Hoseok got full access to back stage to have first view of the new collection up close. Designer (the one in green hat) HIMSELF explained clothes to him. He got full access to stage and could try accessories and decorations.
Frankly speaking such treatment from LV is insane, not even bts got such
Main heads of Dior also followed Hoseok on insta and it is obvious that they love him. For Dior show he wore outfit from same collection as an actual ambassador Jimin.
Hermes also doing a lot to butter Hoseok up. Not only invitation but main heads taking their time to meet him too (it's quite funny how unbothered King dressed in Louis Vuitton to a meeting with Hermes executive)) and the guy legit used Arson and Jack In The Box styled Hobi gifs, please, he is whipped

Idk what is cooking, it honestly doesn't even look like smth as trivial as just ambassadorship at this point (unless Hoseok is gonna be a face of LVMH as a whole and they want him so much that his contract allows to work with someone else too lol), but the start of Hoseok's fashion journey was phenomenal and I cannot wait for his next step.
There is actually no agree or disagree to it, It's a fact lol Whole damn big 4 posted about him and British one is the one who gave him this title, even if forum 'experts' disagree it won't change the fact that he hard carried PFW)

He slayed! As usual. Cannot believe I watched whole thing just to get 0,7 pixel of Hobi for few secs 😭
Honestly tho I really want to know what's going on. Dior is acting sus while Louis Vuitton is treating Hoseok like royalty and like he is their fully singed global ambassador already: he is seated right next to creative director, both CEOs took a pic with him, they dressed him into brand-new clothes which were never on sale yet and are from new collection (which is quite a priviledge for selcetive people)
I mean, I know Hoseok is not some random celeb and is the main event wherever he goes, but all that fuss for just an atendance even considering his massive influence?..

Hoseok has both Dior and Louis Vuitton wrapped around his lil golden pinky finger
Btw, gonna say that it's interesting that Hoseok posted about invitation cause remember how he posted about invitation to LV online show? He later posted about actually watching it. So by this his post about Fall Winter 2023 collection we can conclude that he actually really wants to go to this LV fashion show thus if he isn't going to LV show but goes somewhere else (for example, to sma to collect group's award like there is no other 5 members who also can do it easily) it means he was made to do so. Basically by this post he kinda airs hybe out lol Quite powerful movefrom him tbh.

Hoseok has always been the main character of LV deal: they put his solo shot on their website, Abloh posted sketches of Hobi on his insta, they keep on giving him gifts and inviting him to their events - tbh wouldn't be surprised if Hoseok was actually the member they wanted to work with from the start. Invitation to show isn't surprising at all and I really hope he is actually going cause there are some rumors about him on SMA but I hope that he wouldn't show invitation if he wasn't actually going, Hoseok doesn't have a tendency to show smth without a reason.
Now we are waiting for brand deal announcement although aside from LV there are also YSL, Dior and Kenzo among candidates.

Side note, but I love how they didn't call Hoseok's fans army but just j-hope's fans (new and old))
He was also most followed Korean act in November btw)

Most streamed soloist on spotify, most followed soloist on spotify, the highest streaming debut on US spotify, the highest critical acclaim for his debut album which ended up the top10 best albums of 2022 (which is even more insane considering it's the highest ranked Korean album and the only kpop soloist on the list) - trully the most popular and successfulmale idol in the world. And King did it all with no playlisting, no western act help, no english song, no riding typical simple pop song trends, with fully Korean album fully consisted from himself only with no collab, with any activity being fully sabotaged by his ow n company - who is even doing it like this? Talent trully won!
Gonna say, Hoseok's karma is trully hitting hard lately

Honestly how many more sus brands should appear near Hoseok before we finally find out who exactly snatched the Fashion Icon and got him their brand deal
Deserved. Jack In The Box and hobipalooza are the best what happened this year. Really hope it also mean that Hoseok is gonna have a solo stage on MAMA, especially considering that he has big chanses to win them awards He can perform both MORE + JITB and also finally give us live performance of Rush Hour with Crush
they even changed aesthetics on official accounts, I bet he is getting proper physicals and digital store too, playlisting as well and, of course, suddenly no other projects or games announcement in near future too
gosh, Hoseok is really not renewing, huh? gosh, oh my god! he is really not renewing this shjt! if there were any doubts about his contract status they honestly gonenow - hybe indeed punished him for his decision, huh? all those people involved true color are finally showing in their full force. gosh, I only kinda worried that this shjtty company will go even farther and won't allow Hoseok to use his stage name but maybe it's not a big price to be finally free from this hell, after all Hoseok always has a plan
lmao hybe did whole damn schedule for this debut but couldn't do anything for Jack In The Box and Hoseok's debut favoritism in that company is insane and is not anything new, but to see so clearly that they really sabotaged specifically Hoseok on purpose is seriously something... why they are so afraid of his full potential is beyond me.. gosh, can Hoseok just leave this shjt? it's just unbelievable at this point, it's so obvious that nothing good is coming for him there
Ugh, started to suspect that it wouldn't be my thing when I watched 1st MV teaser and now I see that I was right. Not my thing at all, not even from 2nd or 3rd listen which is really sad cause I was anticipating and concept is phenomenal and MV is so good. I loved performance too. Girls look so gorgeous!
Jin's enlistment was obvious since they suddenly went with that single album release for him. Tbh I don't really understand why the rush if company was sure that he is renewing and thus they can get money from his solo debut after military and current contract end, but maybe they want to treat it with "gift for fans" tactic.
Honestly it's so good to finally get some clear picture. I still think that BTS deserves military exception like noone else, but looking at whole drama and mess around BTS enlistment made by politicians in latest years I came to the conclusion that in the case of exception BTS' biggest enemy and threat would be not a public's opinion but SK government itself, so everything is for the best.
There are still uncertain things coming like renewal cause some say that this is a more correct translation and only english version has clear certainty about 2025 group release (although none version gives certain date of release for obvious reasons) while here it's "hope to see" and their current contract will be ended by 2025 already.

Or some other way when they'll push hyung line to military faster then, when hyung line will be out of it, in 2025 have a quick group release, then maknae line will go to military?
So many questions. Maybe once renewal or not renewal will be clear situation with enlistment schedule will be more clear too or maybe more news will come up sooner. We'll see.
Also I don't know why ppl are crying, it's gonna be just a continuation of festa hiatus thingy with more solo releases and activities and with a lot of pre-made content like Run episodes or whatever else If anything there should be even more members presence, cause they can do schedule whatever way they like without trying to squeeze it in group's activities and without a need to match it with other members' activities and wishes.
Also Hoseok, my gorgeous King, the concert is over, the enlistment news are over, let's now go for many more different and beautiful things, it's finally time.

Title is like a mix of smth from BP and Aespa, didn't really like the song at first but from 2nd listen it was ok, yet still this song wasn't good enough to move me to check out their album, I only checked performances of songs they put into show and indeed didn't like any.
The MV is amazing, really want to rewatch it many times, looks stanning and beautiful. Girls look great, their outfits look amazing too. Dance is ok.
In overall their debut album was much better and stronger, so I kinda expected more from them.
