At least 10cm's cover of the Japanese anime song prevented the 2nd Gen sneaking into this again.

Is it being stopped by Huntrix?

This is such a bad take when you realize every hybe group is centred around one member that's gets pushed as center and face to the point that at one stage, other members start to look like backup dancers and Jungkook was the only one to receive a proper promotion and solo treatment from Hybe. The only reason they're focusing on BTS right now is the amount of profit BTS brings, they can either invest in one member and make him famous by getting a decent profit or just sit around with bare minium of investment and get enough profit to run their company for next 10 years, choose your fighter.
And Seokjin and JHope gets to do solo concerts while JK is stuck in LA , his hands tied.
It seems Seokjn, JHope and especially RM have no guilt over Jungkook whatsoever - they see him as someone to be exploited.

It is clear RM really hates Jungkook's solo activities going anywhere.
He had the idea of having a boot camp in Los Angeles, while Seokjin has his concerts, JHope now in Berlin and Taehyung having fun in Paris, only gathering Suga, Jimin , and... Jungkook.
I don't know it is either Bang or RM, but someone in Big Hit is definitely afraid of Jungkook getting bigger than the old, worn out former soldiers called BTS.
By the time the boot camp ends in August, it will be too late for Jungkook to arrange his own schedule, since since the boot camp ends in late Aug he cannot really schedule anything until late October, when it gets too cold to arrange concerts in the Northern Hemisphere..
In 2023 Taylor Swift had a concert in November, but in Brazil where it would be like early summer, and in 2024, she only had events in places which had ceilings in Nov and Dec.
So, if Jungkook actually decides to have concerts in winter, he will have to find indoor places, and I can bet everything I have that Lim Youngwoong, now a confirmed enemy of KPop, will eat up a lot of time at the Gochuck, the only indoor stadium worth the trouble in Seoul, for the over 50 pop in there. The Inspire Arena in Incheon will be occupied by various award ceremonies.
Since 2026 will be spent on the BTS world tour JK won't be able to have his own tour until 2027 when he is 30.
Is it what he gets for sacrificing for the group only to be stuck in a boot camp run by RM, whose eclectic style of singing will never really draw too many fans, while other members are doing whatever they feel like now?

Only nugu companies do that nowdays

They are a mature act and this round is a breather until they move on to their individual careers. They will retain existing fans and then go their own way.

This kinda true. I believe fans and people Want more singing instead of rap/talk.
It is a lukewarm song, but the support still there. The initial result is ok maybe good but i dont think dirty work will have much longevity compare to their previous releases.

I think Dirty Work is awesome - I had no idea it would be as divisive as it is.
I do understand what the OP is talking about. SM usually starts buying "cheap" songs for a group once they are past their peak (or it seems that way as the musical quality always decreases). But I don't think Aespa are there yet. I think they are still at the top of their game, even if they are losing out to ADP right now - that seems more like a surprise than the writing being on the wall.
SM is notorious for discarding its groups, even top acts, even when LSM was there.
And the new management would rather see an act they launched to reach the top, and when they see aespa they see LSM.

I think after this year SM is gonna put Aespa to the side to focus on Hearts2Hearts. Could happen even quicker if H2H comes out with a hit.
The new management of SM is trying to prove itself, and aespa is a LSM act so ...
-
SM is notorious for winding down acts it judged to be not in its plan.
SM failed a lot of acts, including SNSD, f(x), Shinee, and various other acts.
The farcial way this aespa comeback was handled showed that SM is not wedded to aespa, and is willing to throw it under the bus if necessary.
aespa is Lee Sooman's product, and those who run SM would rather erase all trace of Sooman.
During the height of the New Jeans crisis, some people compared it to aespa refusing to promote until LSM returns as the owner. And, in retrospect, that argument does have a merit, since aespa now would be similar to how New Jeans would have fared if it continued to stay in Hybe.
aespa being winded down is a bit tragic, since it was finally about to take over Kpop, but guess SM's management has decided erasing LSM's legacy was more important than promoting aespa further.
