    JHope's situation and Jimin's are totally different. Hobbie was experimenting, and you can tell he wanted his music to stay relevant even during the time he was gone. It was actually an innovative move on his part. Because the fans weren't aware of the reasons for it they were confused. His decision keeps his music alive while he was gone, and he had the members help promote his album. Jimin's situation was completely different. How would splitting the songs help Jimin in any way? It wouldn't. Who would make that kind of decision after the song was combined initially, thereby being on the losing end? That is not logical, and to ask someone to think it is doesn't make any kind of sense to me. This is about business, after LC did so well on the charts, who in their right mind would call that a good business decision? I don't see how the integrity of Jimin's work was compromised in the song being in English, especially since Jimin would have been the very one to approve of it. I'm sorry that reasoning doesn't make any sense.

      I 100% agree with you, but these fake fans or so called righteous people think that they know everything personally and targeting every single person who are raising right and reasonable questions. Atleast the world knows though and I'm happy with that fact. I know they said ridiculous things to shut that person down because by questioning all these things , it hurts their ego. I also don't think for all these things still happening to him doesn't make any sense to me at all. This year , more than half of the Army's true colours are shown. Toxic and fake OT7 and fake Army's and solo stans ,shippers are exposed. It's so heartbreaking but Army is destroyed. And I'm seeing this in every reactions and comment sections and by reactors banning BTS reactions because of fandom. It's just that when people are ranking most toxic fandoms, everyone is putting down Army as no.1 and sadly it's a fact. And I not consider myself as an Army in that kind of fandom ,atleast not right now. Maybe when BTS are together in 2025 , the vibes would be happy and respectful just like in 2017-19 . I just hope we have a fandom cleaning and the trash would be out by then. 🥺💞🧡❤️

      well... if you do a split you can sell it as it's own song and you have more different songs to sell aka. you can sell more albums - because you do not actually have to sell all songs of an album to count as a full album sale.
      And that is if Big Hit made the decision to split.
      The possibility is - as some mentioned - that it was decided by Billboard/Spotify themselves to sabotage charting.
      Around the same time Army protested Post Malone had a simlar issue with one of his songs. I remember that because his father added to Army's protest.
      Nevermind that Spotify seems to have somehow gotten the idea that the Englsih version had different songwritters (I think it was either one person more or one person less) than the Korean version and therefore used this to declare this a different song.
      Spotify has more than once messed up credits from BTS members. I think there is another artist also named Suga that somehoe got credited a song by our Suga - and that is on Spotify.
      Do I trust their claim that it was Big Hit's decision?
      No. It is possible but ultimetly I do not believe them.
      ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
      I liked boracity magazine's video essay on the topic better.

    I'm only halfway thru the vid but I wanted to point out a couple things that I think are important to take into account. Each member is different and amazing in their own way. In personality and musical interests/tastes and goals. I firmly believe each member individually CHOSE the direction of their solos and the promotion activities etc. Based on their personality differences I just stated. Jk has always stated he wants to be a huge pop star. I believe BigHit/HYBE helped him promote and produce accordingly. But that isn't necessarily what the other members are going for and that's perfectly fine. Suga had the catalog to support a whole successful world tour. RM knew from the start that he wasn't making an album for huge sales and record setting international recognition but it was amazing and personal to him and he chose to do a smaller show at a venue that was meaningful to him when he was young and dreaming of the future. Jin didn't have as much time to put things together before he went to military so I think when he gets home we will get more from him which I'm def excited about, also. Jimin is notoriously shy and I think that's why he didn't do as many interviews etc but let's be honest, Face was an amazing album with a crazy good reception world wide. I don't think they would spare any expense if he wanted to do a vid for each song. I know he mentioned it once but he may have changed his mind for any number of reasons. And that is perfectly fine. JHope went with a whole new concept which turned out to be amazing as well and Lollapalooza and his collab with J Cole was a dream he had since childhood. V did an album which he knew going into it was in a very niche genre but he did great promotions and interviews and performances that were so cool and appropriate.
    I'm sure it is extremely uncomfortable for them when so called fans try to victimize them and pit them against each other and against the company that has not only supported them but think about it... BTS built BigHit. Literally from the ground up. I'm pretty positive they have absolute ability and authority to do whatever they want whenever they want at this point. As it should be. Those boys are not only carrying the company on their backs, they are basically carrying the country on their backs at this point. The pressure must be immense. I can't even imagine. Victimizing them and acting like they are being mistreated by the company they built is silly and probably hurtful to them.
    I think solo stans are the ones pushing this issue. It's ok to have a favorite but not one single member would EVER condone or appreciate anyone talking down about any other member who they see as their brothers. This really needs to stop. They have been asking army to trust them since they started 10 years ago. Trust your idol. The fact they resigned their contract so early should have put all this talk to bed because that is proof right there that they are HAPPY and supported by each other and their company. Which, if you are truly army should make you happy for them and excited about the future! Best is yet to come 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

    Thank you so much for addressing my question to you. This is the 2nd time I have requested you post a video on a subject and I think you hit the nail on the head in both posts. You made some excellent points on both sides of this issue around the topic of favoritism and sabotage. I really liked your points about constructive vs. destructive criticism. I have argued this issue on a couple of sites that the company is not sabotaging the members but acknowledge their were mistakes made by the company. However, the members also had agency in the decisions made regarding their albums and promotions. I had many people agree with me, but also many call me a company Stan. Jimin is my bias and the reason I became Army. I think there were a lot of issues with the support of his album but not outright sabotage.
    We don’t have the same level of outrage for the Hyung line issues that fans (Army, solo, shippers, etc) have for the members of the maknae line. I agree we the fans need to hold the company accountable, but to do so in a constructive manner that does not taint or victimize the artists we love. Just one thing regarding the number of music videos for Jimin. Some people don’t take into account the cost of Jimin’s videos compared to other members, especially at that time. They literally built the set of SMF pt 2. One industry producer estimated the cost of that video to be over $1 million. Way more than videos by the others at that point. Also, fans did not know at the time that Jimin was putting out additional music or maybe evan another album before enlistment with music video(s). The two projects combined could possibly exceed the cost of the other members. We just don’t know. Suga’s tour made a lot of money, but the US leg was subsidized by the NBA.
    I think good lessons were learned (unfortunately at Jimin’s expense) on how to better support solo releases based on how well he did. I don’t think anyone expected Jimin to do as well as he did with such a personal project. Anyway, enough said as I could write an essay, but just wanted to thank you again. Have to send you my next topic soon. 😏💜💜

      Si desafortunadamente fue Jimin, con el que se tuvo que aprender a base de acierto- error. Es interesante la visión que tienes y se agradece desde una postura objetiva, Jimin es un profesional y cuando va a realizar algún proyecto siempre tiene en mente que sea de experiencia. Por qué lo dijo, porque en el libro hay una parte donde se comenta que el sugirió que se realizarán cambios en como se presentaban los conciertos, y que ARMI saliera satisfecha de ver un espectáculo de primera.
      Hay situaciones que no podemos entender, en cómo se fueron desarrollando cada uno de los lanzamientos. En realidad el de Jimin y Yoongi cadí fueron muy juntos.pero bueno. Eso les dejo puntos a trabajar y experiencia.
      Yo como fans de Jimin, también aprendí a respetar aunque no esté de acuerdo en algunas situaciones. Se que para Jimin BTS es familia. Él es un Ser agradecido no tonto. También el no nos puede compartir todo y se respeta, principalmente su vida privada.
      Tengo 59 años, nunca había admirado a un artista como a Jimin. Me cautivó desde que lo vi danzar y cantar: fue una conexión instantánea, y dije WOOW. Soy Psicomotricista, para mí él movimiento corporal es una fuente de expresión muy grande y Jimin cumple con estándares muy altos cuando lo vemos bailar es un deleite, te puede contar una historia con cada movimiento y ejecución en un espacio: a un ritmo y tiempo meramente bello.
      Desearía, que pudieras compartirme: porque tanto odio hacia él, desde donde surge , los heters le dan con todo, aunque el no haga nada para merecerlo.
      Te agradezco

    I appreciate this video - very clear and concise. However, Perception is Reality. The current 'perception' is that there is a favorite between two artists doing almost the exact same thing. I understand that everything they do is a CHOICE. I can't wrap my head around why Jimin would CHOOSE to not submit his work for RIAA. There are additional benefits to the artist/company for that recognition. That is just smart business. Wouldn't BigHit want that for their artist? For themselves? Even if it is only for 'bragging rights'? If anyone could help me with that, I'd greatly appreciate it.

    I like your channel, but there's one thing that makes me wonder..if Jimin was the one who asked to split Like Crazy korean and english version, why didn't he do it from the start? especially if you think it's because of the meaning of the lyrics. he prepared the album for 10 months so there was no way he would miss this. Then the big question is the timing, when Like Crazy hit #1 on Global Spotify on the 3rd day, on the 4th day it was immediately split without any notification. If it's Jimin wish, he will definitely confirm like what JHope did. but till now he never said anything. he just said that he asked mv for all the song but being declined and he felt the promotion too short..imagine prepared your album for 10 months just to get promotion for 9 days 😢and for you who said jimin is an adult and smart man, you right but every job have contract especially an idol, and ofc it will benefit the comp than artist. that's why they can't blatantly said how they felt. i'm not jimin manager, but even common people can think with logic.

I saw it with my own eyes his dancing and singing takes you to a different place a beautiful place to observe this legend in the making makes me think of when Michael Jackson first performed you could not take your eyes off of him or Prince

Si bien no tuvo u maestro de canto al principio el busco las posibilidades: aunque le costaron lágrimas, él práctico hasta perfeccionarlo, que le dio experiencia. Ahora es un artista completo, su viaje lo inicio y modelo a base de vivir experiencias.

      @lavernecook1025 In sync with my feelings about Jimin. Even though I know very well that everyone has different tastes, I am often puzzled about why some people cannot see Jimin's brilliance. He just has that something more than other people that I can't explain. I believe they call it " jai ne se qua"? I also agree that Jm reminds Mj or Prince, much more than Jk (some people said that Jk reminds MJ). Jk to me is similar to Justin Timberlake than MJ.

    • @DualPippa
      @DualPippa 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      ​@@winstaff4182It might have to do with the vocal ability. At the end of the day, Jimin does not have the vocals to be compared to Michael Jackson. His dance style is also different. Jimin leans into sensual, rounded contemporary in a way that is unique but not like MJ's cool, power sharp dances.
      Even JK would have a hard time matching MJ in vocals. But JK's power and R&B hip hop dances is probably why he gets the comparison. 'Standing next to you' only made it more noticeable.
      I do love Jimin's vocal tone and dance. He has his own lane in my opinion. So does JK.

    I liked your point of view however I have different opinion regarding the Spotify issue because it is highly unlikely that Jimin micromanages to that extent. In such a case, he can be called an individual artist and would not require a label to manage him. Also mismanagement is evident in case of album restocks, RIAA certification and to point out the recent special talk incident as well. I know people may say it might be Jimin's decision to keep it simple however there is atleast an industry standard that needs to be followed by the management. Yes the event was a success inspite of the bad lighting and stage set up as Jimin is excellent in crowd work and shines like a star he is. I'm sure he would have certainly expressed his honest thoughts about how things can be improved at a future occasion. But these things could have been managed better. I love all the members and I'm proud of their musical achievements and it's heart warming to see their growth. Mismanagement should be called out and members should not be attacked for their musical aspirations.

Some fake fans are targeting us because either they are solo stans as fake OT7 fans and some are those fake fans who hate certain members to praise their biases indirectly. Not a single person gives us the right and reasonable explanation about our questions, but this fake OT7 fandom is ready to fight with us but they don't said a single sentence where the real haters and so called OT7 and solo stans just destroying any member, you can never find them there . Because they are haters too. They are solo stans too. I'm just happy that atleast the world now knows about all these things and I just pray that that's not happened again to any member. 🧡❤️🥰

      Re certification - "Certification is not automatic; for an award to be made, the record label must first request certification." (Source Wikipedia, RIAA certification) So based on this, it wasn't done for Jimin. Of course, it could have been an oversight initially but if you request certification for one member, shouldn't that ring a bell to check which other members qualify too?

Everyone of the other BTS members loves that Jungkook is doing great and they may have said to themselves "I wish I would have done this or that differently", but they have nothing but love for Jungkook and his efforts.

It is also unfair to keep accusing a BTS member/members or Hybe if an individual project does not fair well compared to others. Hope that some ARMYs reserve the right of BTS member to decide on how they conduct their projects. Respect individual differences. All of them are talented, that's undeniable. Each of them has also his own degree of perfection and motivation.

    This is a very important topic. I think it's important to the continuing success of BTS as a group (ie Chap 2 and beyond).
    I have only seen BTS in concert via online streaming, but it gave me a chance to see the types of comments that ARMYs make. For the most part the experience is heartwarming but there have been some who seem a bit toxic in their comments / attitude. Personally, I think it might have to do with a lack of maturity (ie in thinking not necessarily age ony), so I'm hoping that as the BTS members continue to grow and mature, the fandom's culture does as a whole, as well.

    I appreciate very much the distinction you made between promotion planning and course correction after the fact. The issue isn't really about the promotion plan anymore (we all understand different members, different music, different wants); rather, it's what happens or doesn't happen after the songs and albums are released and the first results are received.
    Big Hit has the responsibility to be professional in sustaining a business culture where recognizing issues before they become major problems regardless of who is at fault or made an inadvertent mistake and figuring out the next best steps are considered as positives and rewarded -- continuous learning has been proven time and time again to be essential for company growth, as it is for each of us as individuals. The last thing we need is for Big Hit and Army to never learn from failures and missteps and stay the same, never adapting, never evolving. I hope the company and all the fans can grasp this instead of essentially blaming each member and their choices as artists for what happens after their work is released to the world. My fear is if staff or anyone for that matter ends up being too prideful or afraid of repercussions from having to say that there had been a mistake that they refuse to see and understand how to do better next time. Getting smarter and evolving will also build trust with everyone who cares about BTS and its members.

    Since we know that all the BTS members have degrees in entertainment business and production, I think many, if not all the members put together their plans for their solo work. I feel assured that Big Hit and Hybe will do whatever they can to make the members album plans work. From budget planning, concept, marketing, design and musical production. As stated, these young men are intelligent and artistic, but above all they are family, and they respect and live with each other. Whatever the outcome of their releases, they know it's on themselves, but they also know they'll do their very best for ARMY. That is true love. As an ARMY, I will always respect, love, and support each member's work.

      Only correction is they no longer live with each other. They did for 10+ years, but that changed in 2021-2022 time frame, which they even said in FESTA 2022 dinner. Otherwise, totally agree. These members know what they are doing. It isn't all on the company, and I'm kind of sick of hearing it from solo stans. I'm sure each member has discussions within the company on what they want to achieve in their solo efforts and how to promote those efforts. When people pit the members against each other, when they themselves each love each other, I get angry even to the point of unsubscribing to some of those people. It's OK to have a bias, but it's going too far these days, and it's sad.

    1. Yes, some things don't add up. Admittedly, some things that happened during each solo release were quite bizarre, BUT I think we lack patience as a fandom and need answers now now now (that has to stop for our own sake). I agree with you, trying to fill in blanks when we do not have information like budgeting for MVs vs backup dancers vs set design and conclude that there is mistreatment is more inflated outrage than proof. Proof is difficult. So I would call out company incompetence but can’t bring myself to call anything “willful mistreatment” without knowing all the information.
    2. Vigilance, yes. But I do worry about some fans' motivation to bring up such differences/ issues with the company's strategies as merely a part of a game of "let's compare records/ numbers" to "win" idiotic verbal spats. The guys are not trying to one up each other. That has never been their narrative, so why are the fans crying and tripping over their own feet with every release and record, I will never understand. I will also never understand Kpop stans' definition of a flop, the reactionary response of calling every release a flop when all the guys broke records in their own way is simply dense. Hot 100, although impressive, is not the only chart or definition of success.
    3. I also find it profoundly idiotic that people take it really personally when X member gets praised for something that the fandom as a whole deemed not a part of their personality in the 'ARMY fanmade orientation videos'. If I praise X member’s live vocals when that isn’t what they are known for/ publicized for by/ within the fandom, then you will get “corrected” or called a “diet solo” 😖. No one member is solely responsible for BTS’ favor in the world (I really dislike that stance, it is disrespectful to BTS and most of all incorrect). I am careful not to compare members in statements of praise (not that that will stop people from freely misunderstanding and getting angry *insert one giant eye roll*). I don’t care for such rhetoric and will like the songs I like, I will praise vocals, dance and rap as I want. I don’t care for arbitrary Kpop tiers.
    BTS just wants to be respected by the industry and us as artists, that is their legacy, not numbers. The numbers are just a happy result. I will not trivialize their importance but if the fandom is not enjoying the music, but ONLY number chasing, I think there is a problem. I also do not worry about Weverse or Western "journalists" calling only one member the shining star or the redeemable artist of BTS or how one member should "go solo". The west has never seen a band move like BTS - members hyping and showing up at each other's solo releases, solo releases while the group is active. But the west can only view BTS through the eyes of previous boys bands so they need that narrative. I have become numb to such statements. BTS have been so loud about 2025 and how this time is to explore their musical taste. That is all. My advice to anyone struggling with the solo era rhetoric is to just listen to the music, just the music. Enjoy what the guys are presenting through lyrics, production, choreography, concerts and so on. You will fall in love with this era too. 💜

    I believe that BTS have their own exposure to what they want to do they have more freedom than other K-pop industries have for their K-pop idols. We know that BTS is bigger than K-pop we know that their global superstars each individually as well as a group!
    The point here that I’m making is when you made the statement that BTS are not fans of each other I think you need to expand more on that and let me tell you why specifically here’s proof at lollapalooza when J-Hope was headlining solo, JiMin came to support and be a fan of J-Hope during his performance and he even said it on a live meeting with ARMYs that he is a fan of J-Hope so therefore that disputes they are fans of each other‘s work they do love each other as members and I think they’re extremely close 10+ years living together and working together has a bond that’s bigger than any other boy group out there that has ever existed there are no egos there are no hate there is no ill intentions and jealousy‘s that are part of this beautiful group of talented young men!
    The science here when it comes to emotion Mr. Spock would say it’s not logical emotions are not logical, people have emotions that are not reasonable or clarified to make sense most of the time! It has to do with feeling an emotion and when it comes to that no one will be perfect and there are faults in the human condition!
    But because they have lived with each other so long know each other and their personalities they can push back jealousies and egos they can support each other and their solo work as well not just for one person to shine but all seven members of BTS to shine ! whether they are doing solo work or group work they all seven shine and they all bring something unique and beautiful to the creative table!
    Prejudice, ignorance and bigotry has always been part of BTS ‘s ongoing struggles with trying to get acceptance especially in the western music market look what the Grammys did they did that 66 th annual nominees announcements and completely shut out K-pop not just BTS but every single K-pop group that submitted their work!
    BTS ‘s solo albums and the other K-pop groups albums were all dismissed their songs their albums and anything that is considered to be a nomination for the creativity! Completely ignored !
    The simple fact that the Grammys and many other of the western award shows have to make separate K-pop categories and order for them to be included! You would know that BTS and the other K-pop groups would completely slam the Western artist if they had the promotion and the opportunities and play on the radio like the other western groups !
    BTS will come back in 2025 and when they do whatever they have set out is going to be successful they have already proven themselves in South Korea and they’ve proven them self globally! JungKook has already had his sights on the western music market and he is slaying it! 😊💜BoraHae

    OMG one of the biggest things this whole fandom has failed to address is that the members are tired they needed that break. JK would have continued to sleep all day and relax, as he should, if he didn’t have obligations to the company and because his brothers were reminding him he should be working, lol. We all saw how impressed they were to see Suga’s schedule was packed, we now know it was because he planned for a solo concert. Though concerts cost money they are also big money makers while big production MVs and albums have huge up front costs that you may never see a profit from if you don’t budget well.
    What happened to letting them rest? Why all these grandiose desires to have them break individual records? It’s those “fans” that want to push this narrative instead of just enjoying what BTS wants to put out.

    I am trying to build constructive criticism here. I agreed that we need to build constructive criticisms. I have one big thing of thos video is based on "my trust", "my assumption", however, also criticized that what fans have brought up is because of "assumptions". When we don't know "what if" situations. Therefore what's actually important is the communication. For example, fans first asked for the reason why Like crazy has been seperated. In the context, there are many things that seem not "logical" which I am aware that it could be subjective. When fans ask the explanation, no feedback was given and fans searched for the answer and then there was a conclusion of intentional separation of Like Crazy. Timing was "suspicious" as well. What would be the "logic" here. Another example is my trust of "emotional and intellectual" ability to renew the contract so that we trust the company is based on assumption. There are many variables and this is the biggest assumption. In our life, even though we know, we can'take a decision based on only my "intellectual and emotional" ability. This is why we need to advocate. So, I think for this video to be more constructive, there should be more evidences to back up because most of the points can be arguable because they are based on personal belief and assumption rather than factual evidences which is against what the statement was initially.

Hope they can clarify it honestly and not just release some general excuse. Sad to see that it has come to the point of having to send protest trucks to get attention.

RIAA--OK, so not do his first and do JK's later one first is not right or fair. Again, Jimin should not have to worry about this. No restock of CDs and no listing on TTHs when it was released.

    Now, let's talk LOGICALLY, based on FACTS we've experienced before, THERE ARE DIFFERENT treatments for each member's solo activities!
    What about these facts for the TWO members "allegedly" having been "mistreated", first ones to debut their solo careers:
    1) Hobi did not HAVE a physical JITB album at first?
    He WANTED this or was it suggested to him so that, later, when he enlisted, they could release the physicals?
    Now where's the LOGIC in this? NO physicals in your DEBUT means LOW numbers in BB & other charts that emphasize them, or am I wrong?
    Not to mention affecting number of total SALES??? As in, which is more expensive, a physical or digital album???
    Oh, but they did try to rectify it by releasing a Limited Edition VINYL in December?
    2) Seokjin's The Astronaut, hmmm yes, NO mistreatments at all!
    9-day Pre-Order.
    1 week shut down of shipping immediately after Debut with Itaewon as the excuse, though it was only logistic activities & not TV performances in S. Korea, and other logistic Cos still did business then.
    1 week of Japan's sales delay.
    1 1/2 MONTHS delay for US & EU shipping with NO NUMBERS of sales reported to date.
    Informing sales on US weverse or other Korean shops would count on BB but later BTS Merch informed that US weverse "no longer says 100% of the sales count towards Billboards," also KTOWN4U informed this LATER.
    Hanteo sales frozen to 700k on FIRST day so TA could only be at #3 for total highest number of Hanteo sales in 2022.
    Maybe because TA was already the FIRST Gaon Million Seller (since changing from Circle), so no need to have TWO Million Seller titles (Gaon sales came first as they were counted from distributors' sales, Hanteo from retailers)!
    No radio spins.
    No payola.
    No millions of remixes.
    No separate English & Korean versions to chart higher.
    No inclusion on Spotify's TTH till very late after Debut, etc, etc.

Why not before the solo era so that we solo stan will understand the process while in fact we're the direct customers right? They do crisis management to silenced the mess they've done. Sometimes something might not be seen by our own eyes but our intuations are enough to spot the real thing. And why this explanation happend just after the claims from fans of unfair treatment. This world has a lot of problems already and we stan the group that could enlighten our lives in a little bit. Then this happens unfair treatment which forcefully covered by some. Im sorry but i hope theres someone who made a content on what the fans just really feel nowadays. Hope theres no crisis management done and all things will just fall into as if nothing happened. Its safe to say that nothing's wrong here just dont be obvious. Where is the LOVE YOUR SELF here if they alone hurt us...

    If you look at the sum of all of the recent interviews by PD bang, you can see that they really want to have clout in the western music market. They promoted Jungkooks English album more than they did any other album because they figured that one had a better chance of getting what they wanted. They had BTS released three English songs in hopes of winning a Grammy When that did not happen they tried with Jungkook They promoted his album more than other solo album They-were counting on getting that number one using HYBE America but Jimin got it without their help so it kind of threw a wrench in their plans. Most companies would have done a complete turnaround, and totally provided tons of support to the artist who got the number one, but they all, but ignored him. This is not against Jungkook but if you look at the facts they are there and they’re undeniable. It is not a reflection on BTS but HYBE

      Your argument is based on the assumption that Jimin would have wanted them to heavily promote in the US. When looking at all the promotions they each seem to “fit” the individual members very well. So, maybe, we shouldn’t start assuming that each member would have wanted to have the kind of promotion JK is getting. Maybe (and NONE of us will ever truly know), each member got the promotion they wanted and were comfortable with. Can we all please start our arguments by assuming ALL the members are smart and know themselves and their own desires better than we do? Please??

    What I can say is that Jimin is a perfectionist, meticulous, vocal, and smart.
    He won’t settle for anything less, and he is not a weakling. He is a born leader, a profound thinker, and with a hidden warrior in him.
    I won’t give a litany of what will back-up my perception of him.
    And yet, he is bound by contract and obligations, and there are things he cannot control.
    But it is clear as day that he was neglected if not sabotaged by the company. Is it because he is weak or submissive? No, it is because he has a voice they must always contend with, to which the company is resentful and spiteful.
    As simple as restocking his cd, such a big company cannot do? My friend said, how will they sabotage a shareholder? Well, Jimin is only 1/7 of the 3% combined shares of the members.
    Who knows what’s in the hearts of RM, V, and the other members, if they have frustrations with the company? And JK, how do we know what’s in his heart, how come he delayed reacting being #1 in BBHot 100?
    These boys will renew their contracts for the reason that they find fulfilment and joy in their music, and they feel indebted to the army who waits for them.
    My disappointment is all towards the company. Business is just business and these boys are treated as mere commodities. They are not indispensable.

    It sounds like the armies you hear from considered the solo releases to have failed, and that Big Hit needs to do better to keep from causing their share of those failures again. I missed the part where anything went wrong. I heard over a hundred beautiful or danceable new songs, saw beautiful and fun new videos, saw great results on music charts, and enjoyed variety show interviews about the new work.
    Maybe my perspective doesn’t count because I don’t see the favoritism. I haven’t heard any complaints about it.
    I’m not sure I agree that it’s helpful to have army blame Big Hit for perceived injustices. Sure, people should be able to say what they want, but who says that individuals outside the company and outside the group actually know what happened? Our perception matters, but we don’t run the business.

    Yoongi and Jimin discussed the fact that they are each responsible for organising all of their own solo promotions on Suchwita. The point about Hoseok's physical album was a great illustration of this. As a further example, Jimin himself considered FACE to be an almost 'throw away' album - something he was going to give to us for free - until the others talked him out of it. The other members, Yoongi in particular, said they had to try hard to convince him to even appear on the Music shows. Was that seeming insecurity due to lack of support from the company? I don't believe so.
    Going solo is a very intimidating step, one that both Hoseok and Jimin spoke to each other about repeatedly (as we saw from BANGTANTV footage). Sure, the rap line had done their 'mixtapes' but they still weren't 'solo'. At least they had a bit of a taste of what it was like, but Jin and the maknae line had no such 'soft opening'. They had yet to present their true musical style to the world as individuals and would have no real idea how well they would be received. We also have to consider the fact that they're all under the pressure of time constraints due to enlistment as well.
    I personally can't say how disappointed I was to learn that Jungkook did not write any of the songs on his debut album, especially since he has shown us his talent for it over the years, however he said himself that he was not comfortable with it this time around. I have to respect that and hope he is more confident next time. I can't deny that the implications that Scooter basically only wanted him and not the rest of BTS which is why he was given 'better promotions and opportunities' doesn't disturb me, but ultimately that has nothing to do with Jungkook himself nor his relationship with the other members. We can see by their conservations (again mainly on Suchwita) that they are aware of everything and have talked about it amongst themselves.
    It's like the 'unfair line distribution' argument. Looking at overall vocal time in a single song doesn't reflect the impact of that part of the song, nor the difficulty. What if one member can't sing/rap as much because they are involved in insane choreography or have to save their voice for technically difficult, high or low notes? Namjoon has addressed this saying that they decide these things as a group and it all evens out in the end anyway.
    Each one of those men know what they are capable of and are comfortable doing and act accordingly. What if they simply didn't want/can't do more? They are finally in a phase of their careers that THEY have control over as individuals, not having to concede or compromise to anyone else. How many times have they said that they are vastly different people? Naturally they have all approached this hiatus/solo time differently, but they have all said that this experience will only lead to each of them being able to enrich BTS further in the future and, from what we've seen so far, they are so right!

      The two members that didn’t write their songs were Tae and JK, but that’s fine. Their albums were predominately English albums. If not mistaken, both expressed they had unfinished songs and previous storylines had changed, since both were the last members to release their solo projects. Time was at essence and they needed to present their projects. Surely, both were 💯 % involved in choosing the songs presented to them by other writers once they had a new and clear storyline. The only “questionable” thing was JK working with Scooter B (imo, it was planned by Bang PD, Scooter B and JK for the vision they wanted to promote for JK) bc of his dubious management ethics with previous Western artists. All in all, Tae and JK’s solo projects were successful. Both (all 7) worked very hard.

There's always going to be a cut off point when it come's to the budget and if any member wants to do something that will go past that budget they have a choice to adapt what they are doing, or use some of their own money for the short fall or just not do everything they planned.

    I just think simple, the real situation only related parties know, and it's always guard by confidentiality agreement that very tight closed only for their eyes. Looking into, each member Solo activity, we can see the different format how many songs, album or mini album, photoshoots and it's format/theme also location, producers involved and teams ( designers, dancers, stage, illustrators, visual concept etc), composers, musicians, video team and so on. Except Jin the first who went enlistment in short time, only launching single one song. Perhaps when completed his training, will prepare his Solo Album. Hobi and Sugar launched perhaps most completed versions they have created many their own composed songs, Solo show Hobi in Lolapalozza while Suga in USA and parts of Asia as well in Seoul. RM launched Indigo with many collabs. JiMin broke BB charts follow by JK. V with different genre captured worldwide taste of listeners. JK launching English based songs to penetrate US market. From what happened, obviously, the format of each member project were different, as each one taste and preferences different. Each member and main producer discussed the whole related project which they were tight negotiations. Because they concern relating to the cost as well as the end of sharing profits. If the artist want certain format which cost very expensive, means also his profits portion will be affected as well the main producers. We can also see the package content of the Album, maybe related too. So we cannot straight forward said, the different was affected mainly because of the mistreated to members, only members and the content of the contracts that can speak, if any. Envy all Members, Producers and Teams how they prepared, worked so great in limited time, extensive hours, I never seen such Group of people simultaneously launched 7 members projects in one year period. 💜

    Have you not seen disbanding of other idol group or bands?
    If any of the member decided to not sign with Hybe, Or decided to walk away, that will be the end of BTS because Hybe has the right to the idol group name ‘BTS’ & its brand & they will never let BTS members to walk away from them while using ‘BTS’ name!
    Look what happened with famous SM idol group ‘DongBangSinGi’ or ‘Black Pink’ right now!
    The fact is that Hybe is holding idol brand name BTS as their hostage & all the BTS members who love to be working together as the BTS member & their beloved Army as their fans will keep their mouth shut as long as they can bare it!

    I think sometimes we forget that compared to other labels it's still young. They've grown super fast and that comes with growing pains. They are also following their own path... one that is as new as the label itself. And YES because it is new and untested BigHit needs feedback.
    Even if decisions originate with the artists, there needs to be feedback. If you are in the middle of a rainforest and trying to cut a path... you have no idea if you are really going the wrong direction. BTS themselves have expressed that they WANT their work to be for the fans... so without feedback how can they adjust?

They had one job, to be fair and not arrogant, but HYBE choose to split armies and think they can do such things without punishment. That's typical " big company" syndrome, I saw this shit in different industries before, there was never a good ending for such arrogant companies. Also, that "removing k from kpop" will end up not good either. HYBE is looking not promising at all and it's completely fine to say that you are not satisfied, because for them we all are clients, we are money for them, we have right to speak when our rights are restricted. HYBE is not about "artists for healing" and for a long time now.

      You do know that all 7bts members are shareholders in hybe. Hitman gave all 7bts members control over their own solo. They decided their own promotion and who they work with. Bighit and hybe fund their projects and made the deals for them. All 7 bts members have business degrees. And all 7 bts members have their own private legal teams that negotiate with their company about their contract.

      @@nicoleloss7987 You do know that I listened to this shit like 1000th times in Twitter? Don't embarrassing yourself pls. And their amount of shares is not that big even as 7 together. Voting power is really low per member + there was info (from HYBE's financial report), that their voting shares currently on 0. There was also Netmarble, that sold like 2.5 million shares and info about them in that report same as from news about this transaction. Papa Bang still decides everything. Also because of him, most likely we will not see any Korean lyrics soon and everything will be as generic as American pop music. And guess what? BTS will do it, doesn't matter if they like it or not. HYBE needs money and further extension of company, they need to feed their investors (of course with charts results). Btw HYBE's stocks are shit now and for months. They completely lost positive impact from Jimin's solo debut. Sadly, Jimin and PJMs will give these mfs boost again... Damn, I hate this company.

And yes all these solo fans ,y’all need to remember BTS has formed such a tight bother-hood , why are y’all trying to put them against each other .they will not like that at all . What you SOLO-fans should like is the fact they no matter what they will support each other during their solo projects . also if you don’t like the other six members fine but keep your negative mean ,immature comments to your self .

    ⁠ I think what Hybe & BangPD’s ultimate goal at the moment is not earning more money( yes, their basic goal will always be more money but to keep on earning more money, they have to grow, expand & build more power in global music markets including US & that is why Hybe is keep on buying new music labels from US & expanding their company) but more likely solidifying their(aka. Kpop) permanent place & power in US music market & they are using Scooter’s connections, knowhow & power, combined with JK’s popularity(let’s face it! He is the most popular member of BTS closely followed by Jimin & V & that was how Hybe was kept on planning & aiming BTS from the beginning!)& his talents, making him a huge mega star, like Michael Jackson, to achieve their ultimate goal, to solidifying their place in US music market!
    And their first goal was to win the title of ‘The first Korean solo singer to win No.1 billboard hot 100 chart’ which is really monumentally historical title.
    However, unexpectedly Jimin & his brilliant first solo album’s title song ‘Like Crazy’ has took that title from them & from that on many title’s & records that they were planning to get with JK, was often competed with Jimin & his song ‘Like Crazy’.
    That is why Hybe is trying to minimize any effect that Jimin & ‘Like Crazy’ is making, that means ironically Hybe is fighting with Army fans, mostly Jimin bias fans & their actions has turning many of ARMY into Jimin solo fans because of their mistreatment towards Jimin.
    I think as long as this ‘obsession of Bang PD, Scooter & Hybe(along with JK ambition)which is making JK as ’ exists, no other BTS members would get the full fair support(same as JK) from Hybe in their solo career & they might even receive some kinds of unexplainable mismanagement in their future.

      If you were right, then all other six members deserved to be used and abused for being right down stupid
      what else could they be when they signed contracts with the label that is abusing, ignoring and despising them.
      All six victims for sure had the pick of the crop from the largest global conglomerates, not
      just from Asian, but from the West
      Remember that by the time they signed, everyone knew ARMY and their corresponding niche music markets was with them
      But well, seems that their 10+ yrs of experience in one of the toughest music industries, plus the learning with top global producers, plus their MAs in arts management, have all been wasted on those six victims
      They so much needed you, and the likes of you, to manage their affairs.🤡🤡🤡

    It's 100% proven that the company separated Like Crazy because it's right in Spotify's Artist FAQ that ONLY the company can change the credits of a song. Like Crazy two versions were WRONGFULLY separated by someone removing Ghstloop's producer credit on one version. As soon as Spotify updated and the versions separated Ghstloop's credit was fixed. Shakira's English and Spanish songs are combined when they have the same musical arrangement, same writing credits and same song length. Hybe separated the versions because Jungkook solo stans were trending hate hashtags and spreading vile SA type attacks against Jimin. I stopped the video when I got to 5 minutes in because I'm FURIOUS. I normally like your videos but this is NOT it. Anyone who has worked hard to support Jimin has actually been traumatized by everything that happened and the fandom gaslighting on top of it is so gross.

We also need to understand that because BTS are family they can say and do things that we on the outside looking in may find objectionable. However, families say and do the wrong thing all the time, then they forgive, makeup or don't think it's a big deal. Why? Because we're family. The fans forget that.

But when people act like it's an impossibility, it just makes me roll my eyes. I think a lot of the promotion choices are artist choice, but like Geffen, not giving Jimin the same attention as others is shady to me. But for all I know, Jimin was like, "Please do not advertise my single. I also do not want to have pre-orders or sufficient notice. Do not restock LC cds." It's possible.

BH produced more content for JK's single Seven than for the other members' entire albums. Honestly, the question is not whether BigHit promotes one member more aggressively than the others, but why--and how ARMY should respond.

      Maybe because it is a grand project. No matter what promotion they'll get, no album will have the same results as golden (it's is a mainstream album).

And it is how it should work, because in the end this results bring attention to the whole group and to every solo album in a way.

      Because Jk wants to be a giant pop star and we don’t get radio play much. That’s payola and BTs doesn’t do that. Not even seven got played a lot … so we know that we need these versions of seven to buy to make up for the radio play so the sing charts high. JK and now Jimins music is made for western charts to chart high. Cause that what they wanna do. Pop music in English will always get more attention than Korean rap songs or a jazz album.
      Why can’t you trust the members? Jk sits down with his people and discusses plans and the rest do that too. They each have their own visions. It’s not a catalog Hybe gives them and they check boxes with that they want. They plan stuff on their own and come up with ideas. So let them try things out.

Some of it is a tactic. The amount of talk about this member being treated unfair or that member getting the shaft due to whatever reason has been a hot topic for months…now I’m not saying these guys didn’t achieve their solo success all on their own because they did….but just know that some of the subject matter is Big Hit driven which in turn pushes the Armies to get out there and support as much as possible.

    I’m sure they have multiple meetings with each member to discuss the vision for their projects and ultimate goals the member wants to achieve and based on that they figure out a plan (together) to achieve that. Every member doesn’t want the same thing.
    Why would the company risk favoring members over the next and jeopardize the trust and respect they have with each member and potentially hurt the team and hurt their pockets.
    People need to think critically instead of emotionally. Stop with the unnecessary negativity and work harder as fans to make sure we support each member equally. Cause if anyone in this equation shows favoritism it’s people within the fandom.

There are other ways to lodge your complaints if necessary. Until those people work within the company to understand what’s going on they have no complaint. Certainly in the manner they did. It certainly shows that they don’t have faith in Jimin (or any other member) to be intelligent enough to address issues if he feels slighted. The guys signed another contract. If they weren’t happy they wouldn’t have done that. People, give these guys credit to know what they want to do/ or not do for their future career. Save your money spent on renting buses to donate to a food bank etc. I’m sure Jimin would be proud of that instead of embarrassed at such a public display. Complain if you want through an email or letters. Thank you .

    V´s album was my least favorite of all of the members. it´s V´s album so yes i still like it for what it is, but the songs is not my style at all.
    second is the rappers and i belive like you said that it´s very heard to get listeners because rap is meant to be heard it´s not about the music it´s more about the lyrics and flow. so that is just understandable. and they did go all out for J-hope even if he might not sell as well as vocalists.
    and for Suga he did almost everything he did a whole tour. they had faith that he alone could sell out a tour. and he did he even added more.
    and then we have Jimin and Jk who is the most likely to get high streams and sales in the US because of the music. Jimin has one mainstream song and a very popular kpop song all i one album. and alot of gems on the album too.
    jk is the biggest star of BTS at least hybe see his potential for going global. he has the confidence, he has the manly astatic fitting in the western world. and he sings and performas amazing and he can nail english songs so well.
    and he chose to get songs who is more than willing to give it to him. all songs was good and they wanted him to be the golden star.
    they want to break into the US even more than they already did and jk was the ticket. it´s not about witch memeber is the best.

Also, this has nothing to do with hating another members success or competition between them. This is strictly about the companies sabotage towards a certain member......yes in spite of their sabotage Jimin still has enormous success in his first album.

Also, they have different genres which should really be targeting the right people. I think it's very important to respect each member and don't drag them down. I mean, most people have their bias but it doesn't mean we're gonna throw hate to other members. They don't deserve it. If you'll think about it, each of them love each other and as she mentioned, they will not wish any harm to anyone. I hope at this point, solo stans can also respect that. It's okay to voice out your ideas/comments but don't drag others down. BTS members are smart people and I think they have their liberty to do what they want and how they want on their solo albums. Each member's success is the group success. Instead of attacking other members, why not support them as well. At the end of the day, they all belong in one group and they are family. I think BTS will appreciate ARMY even more during their Solo era. Just my two cents. #Apobangpo #Borahae
    Thank you for this video.
