you do realize that even artists with complete musical control are beholden to the distribution control of their label right? Unless they're in control of both the masters and the stims, music that could be long ready to go can be sitting on the shelf for ages cause an exec goes "Not now" or just plain "no"
Ok, and is there any reason to believe they are being forced right now? When are BTS being forced and when are they allowed to make their own decisions?
I'm very against the BTS are grown men with a lot of shares and power in their company narrative because I get the company can overrule artists sometimes and it's not as straightforward everytime.
I just don't see HYBE controlling the musical output with BTS having no say in it and having to follow along Hybe powerless.
