Listen to baepsae today in honour of the great jung hoseok

He kept persisting through the technical problems, bless his soul

It's a jhope-ful day today

Quote from RunOutOfIdeas

That user seems to be obsessed with BTS' enlistment. First it was about the members trying to make Armys cry so they won't forget them and now it is BH trying their best to exempt them. I wonder how that obsession came about.

trying to make armys cry so they won't forget about them :D

what is that person on

bighit cannot make the government exempt them christ

Quote from CherrySoda

You know they've been enlisting... This is the whole reason BSH has got BTS out of doing it till they're older.

Out of enlisting?

BSH didn't do anything, there are still idols older than jin that haven't enlisted yet

Kpop rappers don't have lyrics like that though

Even their english lyrics

(I have heard aave in some songs though like finna and no cap which always gets me)

That person doesn't know what they're talking about really

Have they looked up korean lyrics, do they know korean?

Quote from ellenote

I mean if they did sell more for good for them, what do you want us to do? give them a cookie? also, I thought BE sold more than that. That's kinda shocking.

The tweet does not show BE's total Gaon sales.

The total for BE at the end of 2020 on Gaon was 2.69m. It just dropped by a lot in 2021. MOTS7 and MOTS Persona sold almost as much as BE in January, which is unusual.

Quote from mochicake

I haven’t seen many ARMYS on this forum lately, did I miss something??

This forum is dry without them.

BTS also has been very quiet , I miss them

Check weverse/ weverse translation accounts because Jimin has been active very recently! Jhope too before that

Quote from kingkook

I already know that. It's just that news gets spread fast on allkpop, so I come here. Twitter is half the time a mess and I don't get to know what's happening bc of the spam.

Twitter is a much faster and more comprehensive source, you just need to follow the right accounts! It's easier to socialise/discuss here though, in a way.

Quote from cherryshiii

important disclaimer: namjoon is a great rapper, leader, and a great songwriter and producer. he deserves all of the love in the world. i personally think yoongi deserves the main rapper position more based on what he has done. with that out of way, let's get to my actual take on this.

i'm usually perfectly contented with positions in kpop. i believe many companies do a pretty good job with assigning positions to their members based on their levels of talents and visuals. but for bts, i'm confused.

from the videos i've watched of suga, i don't see why big hit can't just switch him to main rapper and rm to lead rapper. i understand if maybe big hit doesn't want to hurt rm's feelings, but i feel rm is simply happy that he is in bts... i mean, he is the leader and is already important to the group enough. i don't see why it would hurt if this were to happen.

back to suga, he can rap 8.3 syllables per second, produce great songs, has a great flow, (joon can do a lot of these things too, but i think suga does them at a higher level tbh.) and he's consistent. is that not main rapper material?

you could make strong arguments that namjoon deserves his position, but suga is just on another level to me. and to make a long story short, min yoongi best boy. ~

Those positions don't really mean anything

They both have a verse in songs

Sometimes Yoongi raps first and sometimes Namjoon raps first

One doesn't really have more parts than the other

Namjoon just writes more in general for BTS, especially when it comes to the english parts

BTS Fairy tale character for Army.zip (Weverse)

Ah I think I missed that interview

Quote from byakuyav

No it's from an interview.. Tae likes the story of The Ant and the Grasshopper.

“ The grasshopper made me a more understanding person. Here’s a saying I like, Don’t judge a book by its cover. Everybody has a reason & everyone has a story I hope people don’t judge a person based on what they see. ”

Oh which interview is this?

the ant and the grasshopper is the story that Jimin and Yoongi narrated on vlive, that was quite funny

Where is your taehyung quote from? In your sig?

Is it from the class of 2020 speech?

Quote from lizyy

well, if you think about what these companies are known for, then it's like this:

SM: has best idol singers in the industry ( no other Kpop company has such good Idol vocalists as SM, their music style and concepts are very old , boring and uninteresting, but that's another story).

YG : here we must also admit that YG produces the best content in the whole Kpop. high quality Pur.

their content is never old, boring. stylistically (I mean music style too) best company. they produce timeless content.

the MVs of 2NE1 and Big bang from 10 years ago are stylistically still the best in kpop today.

JYP: well, for me JYP ist still Twice and Just Twice. Twice = JYP.

Big Hit : I honestly don't think big hit created bts. no, bts is the result of years of armys hard work. they fought for bts everywhere and with everyone.

BTS members are humble people, but I don't think they ever had ambitions to become that big. Army decided that they wanted to make BTS big and they did it.

even now that army has put almost the whole world at their feet, BTS is still these humble kids with poor backgrounds. i can't imagine what other artists with ambitions would do with this enormous popularity. but BTS members continue to release free music on Sound Cloud, like unknown beginners or youtube singers.

it was armys who had big ambitions, not big hit or BTS.

BTS is undoubtedly one of the most talented groups in kpop ever, but they did better when they were poor and were fighting.

now BTS is not fighting anymore, their art is also not the same anymore. they are now just expressing their wishes loudly " we want #1 BB , we want grammy , we want that all our songs reach hot100 BB"....

and army does it for them.

their music has also become like that, like easily digestible food.

Humility is a strength, not a weakness.

Please read their weverse interviews to learn about their wishes and thoughts about music.

Quote from sshuqi

Is it me or stanning a group that has been promoting for a few years already is impossible? Like, yeah, I discover them, I like their music and listen to it, but seeing how they already have more than five music videos and countless events/apparitions makes it very hard for me to even want to learn their names/faces.

I feel like if I were to join the Twice fandom right now I wouldn't get all the inside jokes and trivia that someone who has been there since their debut would and I would be pretty lost.

Whenever I stan a new group they have to be rookies or freshly debuted so I can be there since the beginning and watch them grow and achieve stuff. Does that make any sense?

What about you guys, do you find hard to stan and get into well established groups?

Display More

In your case I guess the established group would have to be extra special, to the extent you feel you would have no choice but to invest.

I never thought about watching them achieve stuff, I just liked what they put out so I got stuck right in! They did of course become bigger but it was never a part of my decision to become a dedicated fan, I couldn't have predicted they would be where they ended up.

Quote from rainbowblink224

JYP has Twice , Big Hit has ARMY

I think that Twice is JYP's biggest money bringer and ARMY are loyal and very big, but still explain yourself >:(

In short, she's insulting army

BigHit has BTS

but also

Lyrical themes

That's what BigHit has

Writers who have worked with them have commented on the words and how they're particular about that

They focus on the wider context of their music as it relates to the generation of the artist

Hard to pull off, we'll see how it goes post-BTS

Well we know for sure they will perform Dynamite and I expect Life Goes On too

They won't perform any other BE B-sides because they "save them for the concert" and this is to showcase their hit singles anyway

I hope they stay away from BWL, mic drop, MIR

Show the new fans what they missed

I like the styling
