Happy to see the production/shipping issues fixed for Jimin and looks on track to be a solid roll out.
Re Hobi’s rollout and I won’t say anymore…
I also don’t want to derail this thread further but it is obvious from the JITB documentary that Hobi was 100% in control of JITB plans and activities - like down to the food they served at his listening party to him checking the chemistry of back-up dancers at Hobiplalooza. The man was sooooooo stressed - he had trouble sleeping and eating! He said many times that he put this burden on himself — to achieved this passion project for self growth as an artist. Sure his plans may not be to some fans expectations but he was not a victim. It is so odd to disrespect the artist you claim to love by ignoring what he himself has said, planned, and implemented. Also- if Hobi considers JITB a success as it is, why is this not enough for some fans?
lol first this fandom couldn't understand the difference between songwriting and producing, then what is remake and cover, and now
you all don't understand the difference between being in control of artistic side of things and marketing and distribution.
He was in control of his music, party and Lolla performance(and even here he didn't have full control since he didn't want to perform dynamite, but they made him anyway)
Stuff like digital stores, album distribution, official media posts, radio, playlisting etc. is company job. Artists don't manage that. Like, do you think they have time for that or even know how to do it?
You really think Hoseok went to hybe and said please don't give me a CD, don't promote my music, make it harder for my fans to buy, the less distributors and retailers the better, also don't give me a digital store until it's too late etc.
Let's be real, if Hoseok was in charge of everything it wouldn't be such a mess, because he is perfectionist and plans ahead. So all of this is on hybe/bh not on him.
why is this not enough for some fans
People want to buy his album but can't because of insane shipping cost or it doesn't even ship to their country. And they have to buy from resellers and wait for a whole freaking year to get it, when with other members you can go to in-person store and buy it there or from amazon easily.
And you don't see the problem with it?
