A few pjms / Jimin biased always seem a bit surprised by this so I just want to make this clear - all solos and a good part of armys who are diet solos legit despise Jimin more than any other member ever. Part of it is because this fandom is made of shippers but that's not all of it. Its because pre chapter two every dumbfck army had a totem pole of popularity for the members and they always had Jimin third. Then they had a totem pole for talent and god knows where they put Jimin on that one - it was near the bottom for sure. And then finally they had their totem poles for solo ambition / capability and they all placed Jimin dead last as the member who cared the least about a solo career and the one who would be the least artistically involved in his solo work

Chapter 2 has finally come and every other member has performed almost exactly as they were expected to except Tae who underperformed a fair bit and Jungkook being a bit more of a sellout than expected. But apart from that there's not a single member who didn't fall in line with armys imagination save one of course - Jimin.

This is why Jimins achievements rile them up so much because they still look at everything he does through this lens. They won't consider that they severely underestimated him or that talent and good music can make that much of a difference because what does that say about their fave who's still in the pits of obscurity or needing millions of dollars of payola to achieve the same thing? Aren't rap line supposed the geniuses that built BTS? Isn't Taehyung supposed to be the most popular kpop idol ever? Isn't Jungkook supposed to be the golden maknae who is positioned as the successor and true inheritor of BTS' legacy? What's Jimin doing at the top of the charts everytime he releases anything? Why's his solo music loved by most casual fans who dip their toes into BTS' solo ventures? Isn't he just Jimin who's only good at dancing but still not the best dancer from BTS?

This is what they all think. They're wrong but I swear this is what each and every one of them thinks which is why they'll all swallow bot farms and thirty versions and any other bs that gets thrown around because they do not want to accept reality - that Jimin is and has always been one of the biggest reasons BTS got as big as it did and that him not bragging about his talents or hyping his own image is just him being (a little too) humble and not an accurate reflection of the truth. Truth is his solo music has always done extremely well, truth is his dance has always been more compelling to watch than jhopes, truth is JK sounds like every run of the mill sm male kpop idol whose stans will brag about a voice that nobody listens to. But these are not the narratives that have run through this fandom for years like a disease

I don’t think any pjm is surprised at armys behavior because them treating jimin like an outsider has been a thing for a while now. It’s just the natural disbelief that armys still have the gall to be peddling “OT7” and believing that solos are the worst people ever when a good chunk of them clearly have very strong feelings of resentment towards him.

Not a rap line sympathiser just a regular PJM with enough dislike and indifference towards the other 6, but damn the ARMY fandom doesn’t move at all for some of them. You have a collab at your hand with a BIG artist who is doing well on most charts, and you are struggling to move? We are at 3 hours. Still no US no 1? Like? I mean I can wait till tomorrow to see the actual chart performance, but even the YT video is moving barely. It’s not on Bangtan channels, views should move. Yes it’s on Megan’s and yes she’s not the kind to get 100 million views but Dafaq are they stuck at 500k? None of you are tuning in? The best case scenario would be them getting an Apple Music entry because Megan does well there, or the song going viral (it’s almost made for it 12345678 the formula lol). ARMY can scream cry throw up all they want but without a solo fandom none of them are getting anywhere. They have learned to only move when they massive tools and promotion and for chosen members. And I know, people think Jimin is heavily supported by ARMY but honestly it’s because his songs slap. lol. The moment he releases something they don’t enjoy, they will see themselves out. His longevity, reputation and everything else isn’t their concern. They have truly gotten fragmented and incapable.

Because they don't like these songs. Song success does not only come from having more fans. It's not only about them not wanting to move for people who aren't the members they like.

Even if these rapline songs don't get big debuts or first day numbers because they have less fans, then we should at least see longevity or stability. With other kpop groups they have low debut numbers but their songs stay stable on global Spotify for a long time because I guess people do like and listen to those songs.

Rapline do not make music that armys or kpop stans like. And even when they do have a song on their album that people could have liked they don't promote it at all and instead focus all their attention on that terrible title track they've decided on.

Rapline obviously doesn't care about making what is palatable to armys or a wider audience so I don't care about being sad on their behalf. They can't want widespread success when they make music like that.

And it's not only about the genre of music because rap music does extremely well. Sometimes listening to rapline's recent music you can tell they made it with the assurance that it's going to do well regardless. It's OK to say "oooh I made this or that genre, I dabbled in something new" but is it listenable?. All their songs lately sound like an experiment, and not in a good way.

And yes like you said it could do well on apple music or if a part of the song goes viral but I don't understand why everyone thought a Megan collab guaranteed success... she's a black female rapper. Megan has a lot of hype online because she's funny and really likeable but her music can be a hard sell not unless some cute part of it that people do like goes viral and it helps the song a little. Megan's most successful song is WAP and cardi b who was a force on the charts around that time will also be credited for a large part of the song's success.

I found it funny how they all assumed and made these plans because of Megan. First of all you need a collab to get you to move? And second of all, Megan doesn't really pull huge numbers for them to have the expectations they had.

The stability of the song would prove if they really like it or not, regardless of how well or how bad it does on the First day.

And like you said armys do certain things out of spite and jealousy Like removing his songs from their playlists but generally armys and the kpop community does like the music jimin puts out. That's the major reason for his success. Jk's discography is generic pop I guess, but considering the same people who listened to one direction and Justin beiber are now the same people in the kpop community and the army fandom, it makes sense that a lot of them find his music enjoyable.

I just think if you're going to make rap, alternative rnb and these other genres with an audience like armys and kpop stans you have to put a lot of effort into making it good and listenable...

Maybe I'm hyping him up too much but jimin could release a full alternative or rnb album and he would do it perfectly. Because he very obviously takes the listeners into account when releasing music and how he thinks it would sound to them rather than just focusing solely on what he likes and what he thinks fits with the theme of his album. If you don't care about putting out music that your fans like then there's no need to worry about how well it's doing no?

Cns and daechwita and examples that rapline can release music that can be successful. And maybe armys say these songs are good. But I listen to a wide range of music, loved d2 and mono, but I've never really like hobi's music much. I listen to a lot of rap, rnb and alternative music. So if someone like me couldn't get into any rapline music lately and did not like tae's rnb album(mind you rnb is my most listened genre after general pop) then how do you expect armys a fandom full of pop fans to like these songs?

Even the armys and kpop who are into rap music obviously do not like these releases because if they did they would be stability regardless of the streaming numbers.

[itgirlgasly]

if the f1 grid was actually a Kpop group

source I was a kpop stan 2015-2018 and a f1 fan 2018-2023

the group is called FORMATION 1 (F1) and it means that they form 1 bcs they are a inseparable unit. their debut song is DRS and someone yells D R S in the chorus.

verstappen has the most dating scandals also he is seen smoking once and his fans have a meltdown.

charles is lead singer n releases OST for kdramas and all his stans insist that thats REAL music and nothing like the shallow pop the group releases (he has the most solo Stans)

esteban is always in the back during dance formations bcs he cant move

lance is there and does some backup vocals idk he has 2 lines a song on average his stans think he gets robbed every release but he also cant hit a note to safe his life so ://

george is good at aegyo

norris is the guy who always says his favorite musicians are Chris brown and Justin Bieber

guanyu has the best photocards

Alonsos stage name is samurai and he has a scandal before the group even debuts also he gets called a hag every day also he wins every challenge in the variety shows

Sainz hates every cute concept he has to do but it sells so

Pierre is the main rapper but he cant rap but his Stans truly believe hes the second coming of Tupac (they dont know any other rappers) also he has at least 2 scandals bcs of his hair styles. in this au he has hair

Most underrated vocals in KPOP (my opinion)pt.1

My most underrated vocals in K-Pop. This is only my opinion and isn't supposed to hurt anyone. Let me know your opinion in the comments. Who do you think has underrated vocals?

I don't hate any of the idols or the groups. If I don't mention an idol that has an amazing voice doesn't mean I hate them, I am just gonna talk about the ones I think get too less attention. There are way more idols to mention!

The8: I mean, have you seen his voclas in "Fallin' Flower", "Anyone" and "Home; Run"!?!?!? ""Hai Cheng"?!?!? For me he has one of the most underrated vocals. Give this man some more lines please. Btw I love "Side by Side" both versions.

Jun: When we are talking about The8 than we also have to mention Jun as well! His vocals as well in ""Fallin' Flower" are just so underrated and amazing, but as well as in "_World"

S.Coups and Vernon: Vernon's part in "_World" and "Circles". S.Coups soft part in the end of "Rock with you" or "Circles" are just amazing. Their rap is even more amazing but when they have vocal lines they're killing it.

Wonwoo: Even if he is in the Hip-Hop Team, his vocals are so amazing. His low voice gets me everytime. Just look at "Circles" and "Ima". When he covered S.Coups part there. Everyone in SVT has amazing vocals in my opinion. The mentioned ones are just underrrated in my opinion.

Yuqi: Now that she dropped her first album she gained more attention, I guess but before that I think she mostly got praised for her deep voice and her nice vocals with her deep voice but she proved that she definetly can hit those high notes! For example the high note in "Eyes Roll" so amazing, my jaw DROPPED imidiatly. Don't get we wrong. I love Yuqi and her deep voice but when I heard her in "Eyes Roll"....damn.

Soyeon: jumping from Yuqi to Soyeon. I guess after Super Lady she defenitly proved that she can hit thos high notes. In a video she or Minne? said that neither Minnie nor Miyeon could hit the high notes in the beggining so Soyeon did it herself. I don't wanna say that Soyeon is a THE best vocalist in G-Idle, but she defenitly proofed that she isn't simply a rapper. She is also the one who records the song for the members so they know how they have to sing it.

RM: Just look at the song 4 o'clock by V and RM. He's an amazing rapper, but in 4 o'clock we can see that he has a soft deep voice and I appriciate that. But we can also hear his beautiful voice in his album "Indigo". Other example is his song "Lonely" and "tokyo". He's not my fav in this list but I defenitly think that his vocal potential is underrated!

Mina: I know, a lot like her and I do too, but I don't think that she gets the attention she deserve for her vocals. Her "Snowman" cover is absolutley beautiful, change my mind. But also her vocals in "Boqute", "Marshmellow" and "Do not touch" are sooooo beautiful.

Chaeyoung: Chaeyoung's cover of Justin Biber's song is just so good and I love the "Popstar Chaeyoung Remix". As well as Dahyuns vocals, aslo pretty underrated sometimes! Like her in "I GOT YOU".

Changbin: You you ever seen his performance in the masked singer??? I never could have thought that this is him. If you haven't seen it...here. I LOVE HIS RAP, but this...this is just different. I don't want to say that he has the best vocals in SKZ, I just think that his vocals are underrated.

11. Hwang Hyunjin: Watch his 00s "Psycho" performance. He sings the high notes. I just think that now day he doesn't get enough chances to proof that he can serve beautiful vocals as well. I know that Hyunjin gets praised alot, I just think that his vocals don't get enough attention. I mean, he is the Versace prince himself and SKZ attended the Met Gala.

All of these idols and groups are amazing and should be praised for their hard work and all the groups and idols I haven't mentioned in this round are also amazing and deserve every love and recognition. These are also just 11 idols which I mentioned, there are way more to mention. Let me know your opinion.

Buying You Candles: BTS Reactions x Witchy Partner

BTS Reactions

BTS x Witchy Partner 

For any of you wishing to read the other's in this series, please defer to my profile where you can find the link to the navi in my bio.  All my Kpop content is located in Masterlist 2.0.  

.

Summary:  They buy you candles for your practice. 

.

Seokjin: 

Jin's hyung energy is strong with this one.  And it doesn't matter if you're older than him… the hyung/oppa side of him is coming out and he is going to play that card.  He's this way with the members.  Imagine how he is going to be with a partner.  So yeah…  He spies the little list you have sitting on your desk of things you need to pick up from the metaphysical store next time you're there.  

"Here, let me do it. What shop is it?" 

"Jin, I can do it.  It's no big deal." 

*withering glare* 

"Ok, damn.  Chill.  You can do it." 

*bombastic side eye* 

"It's the little building beside the cupcake shop. It's called Third Eye." 

You just need to accept the fact that Seokjin is going to spoil you and you're going to have to let him.  

Because if you don't - A, he's going to pout and B, he's going to do it anyway so you might as well just accept it, write the list and let the man feel needed.   

And if for some god forsaken reason you decide to say, "Jin, I love you and I appreciate it but really, I can do it. You don't have to pick these up for me." 

Just know, that you are going to be on the recieving end of major sass, possibly his mad angry rapping skill featuring that little vein in his neck trying to pop out and then a pompous little dismissal something along the lines of:

"It's healing for me, jagi.  Now, would you really deny me the opportunity of healing?" 

So just suck it up and accept the fact that you have a very loving partner who is going to spoil you with candles and whatever else you might possibly need or want. 

Yoongi: 

This man knows how to find a good deal.   Three dollar chain? Psh. Bitch, you can't tell.  Which is why he won't hesistate to stroll up in the dollar tree and load up an entire cart with the different color glass vase candles.   He follows the 'dollartreefinds' and 'dollartreecandles' hashtags on instagram purely for this reason.  They come out with new colors?  On it.   They've released pastel versions for spring?  Add to cart.   Black candles for spooky season?  Bitch, please.   You will never run out.   And because he saved so much on candles… his baby wants a huge opal figure? His baby GETS a huge opal figure.   Damn straight. 

Hoseok: 

Hobi on the other hand.   Quality over everything.  Truthfully the dollar tree candles work just fine but you ain't gonna tell him that.  Well, you might.  But he ain't listening.  He is going IN.  He is RESEARCHING.   He's reading ALL the reviews.   He will find the best rated, top quality shop for all the candles.  He will be going in person to inspect them with those sharp eyes of his to make sure that they will in fact be up to his standards. And this mother fucker will stock you on all the basics he feel like you could ever need.  And then he's gonna want a list of wants.   And you better just comply or else you'll get attitude.  "Hobi, babe, this is more than enough.  I'm fine.  Like this is more than I've ever had anyway.  I don't need-" 

 "Jagi, I did not ask you what you needed.   I asked you what you wanted.  Now you can either tell me or I'm getting one of everything."  

"But I-"  

*Cue that sharp ass glare he has when someone messes up choreo.  

"Ok, ok.  This one.  I would like this one."  

"Great, add at least nine more." 

 "Hobi, I don't"  

*Glare intensifies and that jaw becomes so flexed you actually fear for your life with how sharp it is* 

"Ok, ok.  Well, these are the holidays that are coming up that I'd like to celebrate. So maybe these.  And the haters have been particularly nasty lately so maybe this one." 

"Good, baby.  See? Now was that so difficult?" 

You accept the kiss and thank him for his generosity but damn, homie gets pressed when you don't let him spoil you, lol. 

Namjoon: 

Now, does Namjoon believe in this stuff? No.  He doesn't.  He's an aetheist.  However, you do and it's important to you.  So he takes this VERY seriously.   This is important to you and you're important to him so he would never DARE to roll his eyes at it.   Like Hoseok, Namjoon his does his research.  He's not likely to go all in like Hobi but Namjoon does know the holidays you choose to celebrate or what you're typically going to do in a week or whatever.  His research however consists mostly of what the corresponding candle, color and scent or whatever would be.  He prefers wandering into the small witchy shops, definitely having a look at the book section.  He'll often pick up something occultish.  Even if he doesn't believe he does find it interesting and entertaining.  And he knows that you'll definitely want the book once he's finished with it.  Then he'll make his way to the candle section, pull up the notes on his phone and choose from there.  He sometimes cross references with whoever is working there but often times he gets more joy out of it knowing that he learned enough about something that you do to pick correctly.   You're unsure whether it's his research or his intuition… but often times he is actually spot on.  Also, if you EVER dont let him watch...he will so sad. and dramatic.

Jimin: 

Now, Jimin's approach to buying you candles is based heavily in observation.  He prides himself on how open, safe and vulnerable you are with each other in your relationship.   He's often present when you are doing workings or journaling or even shopping just as an excuse for the two of you to spend time with one another. And Park Jimin is a very observant man.  So he notices shit.   He takes stock of the fact that there are only two green candles left on the shelf and one gold one.  So he makes  a note to order some more for you because he knows you use those often in prosperity workings.  While he's at it, he might add in a figural dollar sign candle as a surprise for you to try.   The little pink birthday candles that you use for peace in friendships are down to about two in that little box.  He's picking you up some on the way home from work one night because he knows you like the ones from that supermarket the best.  You've been talking about ancestor work?   He texts you to let you know that a package is about to be delivered today so you need to be there to recieve it.  You open it and it's got not only white candles but also figural family candles as well. It's in the details for Jimin.  This mother fucker pays attention and provides based on what he sees.  He doesn't just pick blindly.  Even if he doesn't believe.  He knows you do and he wants to show you that because it's important to you… it's important to him. 10/10 if you ever try to tell him that he doesnt have to do this... will sit you down for a talk and shame for even thinking he wouldnt take care of you.

Taehyung: 

Taehyung wants to know everything.  He's probably going to ask a lot of questions.   He's INVOLVED.  And he's quite sweet and endearing.  He may not have been raised in it and he might not connect with it on the level that you.  But he's still present and participates.  He likes to learn and he loves learning from you.  So while he might do his own research… he much prefers you to be his teacher.   He's likely going to come home one day with a basics kit.  A little of everything.   What will surprise you is that it's doubled.  He's gotten one for himself as well.   What's amusing is that this little shit pulls out a damn Gucci candle and wants to know if that can be his working candle.   You just have to smile and kiss his cheek. 

"I mean, it's an expensive choice to make for your working candle, babe but yes, that's fine.  If you connect with it, that's all that matters.  For the record though, you can just as easily use a white pillar candle from the dollar tree.  It can work just the same." 

"I really like this one though." "That's fine.  If you vibe with that, then go with that.  What you connect with the most is gonna make it the strongest." 

"Ok, Gucci it is." 

You smile at his expensive yet endearing choice. 

A week later… you too have a Gucci 'working candle'.

Because obviously you're a liar and a Gucci candle is far superior.

Jungkook:  

Ever the frugal king, Jungkook is likely to come back with no telling what that he's swiped from hotel rooms for you.  He's always bring you those little teabags because 'You can use these for herbs, right jagiya?"  and if he's lucky enough to come across a room with tea light candles or incense or anything like that… ha.  Man RUNS for his suitcase!  I mean, BURSTS through the door.  "Jagi, you're going to love me so much right now."   Proceeds to empty the entire front pocket of his suitcase out.   Dozens of little scented tea lights that he has wrapped in cling wrap or put in little baggies.  "This one got a little melted but you can still use it right?" You just pepper him with kisses because oh, that man of yours is so sweet and considerate.   10/10 you PROUDLY use them in your workings because yes.  That energy.  *chef's kiss* Bonus if you use them in lust magic. when you tell him this... he makes it a personal mission to acquire something useful everywhere he goes,

8) favorite Monsta X friendship? - Changkyun X Jooheon

Mr. JOOHONEY ONE HUNNIT and I Am What I Am... Truly an iconic duo. I’d argue Monsta X has one of the best rap lines in kpop - their parts usually end up being my favorite from each song. On stage, their energy is absolutely insane - and behind the scenes, they’re adorable and super entertaining. Monsta X is a group that works really well together, but these two have always stood out to me.

@anaalnathrakhs encouraged me to post this a while ago so i’ll deliver…

the crüe if they were a kpop band

(warning: LONG POST AHEAD!! you’re in for a long ass yap session…)

ok, some (most) of you probably aren’t that into kpop like i am (yes, i like both kpop and rock, weird combo, i know), so i’ll introduce you to just some basic facts before we begin…

1. kpop groups can comprise of 4 member groups to 13 member groups (and probably more than that tbh)

2. there are a couple of positions that are integral to comprising a kpop band…i’ll run over those real quick.

main vocalist: the person who sings most of the song (this can be more than one person) they’re also the most technically gifted and can hit real high notes.

lead vocalist: the second best singer, usually sings before the main vocalist does (like they’ll sing a line or verse before the main does) also sometimes sings the chorus.

sub vocalist: supports the main and lead vocalist and has little lines. not as good as the lead and main vocalist

the same can be applied to the rappers, they also have a main, lead and sub rapper line.

the dance line is more simplified. everyone in a kpop group dances, but for the best dancers there’s a

1. main: the best of the group, gets solo dances/parts

and

2. lead: the second best, usually dances in the front in performances.

(btw, there can be more than one main/lead dancer)

there are other positions that aren’t as important to the music aspect, they are:

visual: basically just the most attractive member of the band…yes this is a position.

face of the group: these are the members that are the most popular. you might know the band because of this person. this can also be the visual, and it does overlap at times. this can be the person who usually goes to a lot of variety shows, or the person who trends because of a meme or funny moment. it’s just the most well known member, and it does change a lot depending on all these factors.

maknae: maknae translates roughly to “youngest person.” (it actually translates to “younger sibling” but) the youngest person in a room is the maknae of said group of people. for some reason, maknaes are seen as being shy and cute (weird tbh) but the ones that aren’t become popular for being an “evil maknae.” (basically just opposite of the stereotype).

the center: the center is pretty much the person who’s always put in the middle of the group during promotions (photos, dances, etc.). this can be due to their beauty, or their dance talent, or popularity. this is also subject to change.

some other terms i think i’ll be using:

trainee: a person who trains to be able to debut in a group

aegyo: pretty much a cute act or gesture. if someone were to ask you to do aegyo they’d pretty much be telling you to be cute/do something cute

v live: like insta live but for kpop idols. can be a bit big budget when it comes to album showcases (promotion for upcoming albums)

golden maknae: the youngest member who’s talented in more than one thing (rapping, singing, dancing, etc.). (other members talented in more than one thing are called aces)

ending fairy: at the end of a performance at shows like music bank, the camera will cut to a member and they either stare at the camera and look hot or they do something rememberable, like a wink or aegyo. sometimes bands will make fun of the ending fairy and do a gag that will end up going viral.

sasaengs: stalker fans…like hardcore. i’m talking breaking into your hotel room type stalker fans. no not only that, giving you orange juice laced with glue type stalker fans (don’t ask you don’t want to know).

ok we got all that? good, let’s start this thing!

vince

ok i think it’s pretty obvious what he is

main vocalist: self explanatory

vocals would get praised for how high he can actually go

visual: reasonably he’s the most conventionally attractive (but if it were up to me i would have made the visual mick) plus his blonde hair stands out against everyone else’s dark hair so thats an advantage for him in this situation

lead dancer: he does alot of dancing on stage tbh so i think he’d be a lead dancer

he’s not the face of the group, although most ppl think he is (which he loves ofc)

would be on v live doing absolutely nothing. would probably do a mukbang to show he’s not entirely vain

would do a skin care routine live on air only to get told off by nikki

the member that gets tired the most. rehearsals are terrible when he’s already a bit sleepy

downright refuses to do aegyo. nothings going to make him do it. is a buzzkill on variety shows

was the trainee everyone thought would never debut because of how lazy he was

usually gets to do ending fairies and uses them as an opportunity to look hot.

fans regard him as the pretty one and the running gags are about how vain he is

representative colour is pink

tommy

sub vocalist: i’ve heard him sing and he ain’t that bad ngl, doesn’t sing much though because…

main rapper: sorry guys he’s a rapper in this one. haven’t heard him rap before but he gives rapper vibes at times so let me have this one. (personal note: if i had to imagine his rap style i’d probably compare him to j-hope of bts…you don’t have to know who that is dw)

main dancer: yep, this one has evidence. when tommy was younger he took dance lessons with his sister, so i’ll use that to justify this. tommy and vince would have dance solo performances at the big award shows (mama, mma, inkigayo year end awards) and it would totally go viral.

maknae: he’s also the youngest so he’d be the maknae…he’d also be the golden maknae because of the many positions he has.

i think he’d also be the center due to this (at least during certain promotion periods)

the funny one, he has a lot of “tommy being hilarious for seven minutes” type of youtube compilations made of him (some of them go viral)

great at aegyo but doesn’t do it a lot (it takes a lot of convincing)

has been the face of the group at least once (during top era)

literally does not care about his image, will go on v live in his blinged out speedo and almost get the band banned from the app

gets in dating scandal with heather locklear

his photo cards always look terrible (he makes stupid faces when taking the photo)

almost got kicked out of his company as a trainee because he threw a fire extinguisher out the 13th floor window when frustrated. added to his constantly updating bill

will do aegyo for an ending fairy to go viral (gets compilations made of it on yt)

fans think of his as the energizer of the band. constantly all over the place and making sure the band keeps the good vibes up

i think he’d also be the one helping the band learn new dances, and he’d be a bit strict about everyone being absolutely perfect

representative colour is blue

nikki

leader of the band

sub rapper: he can hold a rhyme that’s for sure. they don’t give him too many lines

sub vocalist: also not the best singer, but can sustain a note and that’s all that matters

face of the group: because he’s the leader, he mainly speaks for the band. ppl get used to seeing him on every variety show.

the only thing he’s great at is running away from sasaengs (too harsh sorry.)

got clowned a lot as a trainee because of how quote unquote untalented he was

hates aegyo, never does it seriously

says real crazy shit during variety shows, everyone loves it (goes viral for not having a filter)

has serious moments, but everyone thinks he’s a leader that lets his members get away with anything (not true) probably because he’s so laid back at times

in this scenario i feel like he would be the underrated member (because he never gets center position and he’s always in the back in performances) he’s the member that gets those #LETBLANKSING twitter campaigns (and they always trend)

everyone ships him with tommy (either that or they make those silly “stop shipping them that’s weird” comments) nikki would play it up for fan service (but he wouldn’t tell tommy)

constant yap sessions on v live

never gets to do ending fairies

everyone thinks he’s untalented but he’s the one that writes the songs and helps produce sometimes. he does try his best to give his fans the best performance so he’s always practicing, takes vocal lessons and is in the dance room 24/7

he’s the best at representing the band, and does most of the talking in interviews

representative colour is red

mick

lol don’t kill me y’all

lead vocalist: OK so i once read a comment somewhere that said mick could actually sing and he was lying about not being able to, so on that basis i’ll let him be the lead vocalist. sounds great harmonizing with vince. his voice is much softer, which actually works with vince’s louder higher tone

lead dancer: like i said i’m going off looks, this is 100% not canon to the crüe lore (so just pretend he doesn’t have as for my sake). he looks like he could actually dance, and in my headcanon he’d be just as good as tommy, although he wouldn’t get many solos only because tommy and vince usually take over that department. he is regularly in the front during performances though.

sub rapper: gets a little rap moment sometimes…everyone finds it cute cause he’s trying. (will go viral and everyone will eat up their lil meow meows one bar)

fake maknae, everyone thinks he’s the youngest (because he’s short and he’s got a cute round face…and because he seems like the shyest) is referred to as the “cute one who can dance real well” (everyone’s shocked to find out he’s the oldest)

the member known for having a 4D personality (being weird and alienlike) their fans find it cute though (becomes popular because of it)

literally the “cute one” like fans are making nicknames for him (lil meow meow, goth kitty, alien)

very mysterious and quiet, doesn’t talk much in interviews and doesn’t get invited to variety shows alone because of it

his extreme paleness makes fans joke about him never leaving his house (someone asked him if he never leaves his house once as a joke and he answered honestly)

his voice once cracked performing on a radio show once during their debut era and nobody’s let it go ever since

he’s literally the most like suga of bts (i’m sorry for bringing them up so often but they’re my favs and a lot of them remind me of the crüe boys tbh)

was extremely shy and quiet during his trainee years, to the point where the other trainees were scared of him. when he debuts in the crüe, the rest of the members are sure he’s going to be scary and mean but he turned out to just be shy and the rest of the band feels bad for judging him

DESPISES aegyo but will do it for the fans…and he’ll actually put effort into it

his ending fairies are always so funny cause he never takes them seriously (kinda like key from shinee)

literally never goes on v live by himself, he’s always getting roped into doing lives with one of the members. if he were to do a solo live, he’d literally say the most asinine things because he thinks it’s funny (either that or he’d start making up elaborate lies about himself to see if anyone believes it) (side note: that interview of mick in that house or whatever…that’s so v live broadcast coded. like maybe nikki is there with him in their dorms and their reminiscing about their pre debut era idk)

representative colour is purple

ok that’s all i have for now, i hope that was as entertaining for you as it was for me!!

(i also hope that made any bit of sense, i tried my best to explain but i get that there’s certain things that ppl won’t get, it’s totally fine…it’s a really weird headcanon tbh lol)

nct is a south korean boy band group formed by sm entertainment. created in 2016, the group has 26 members each divided into different units. the units include fixed and rotational subunits. these units include the rotational nct u, and the fixed units nct 127, nct dream, wayv, nct wish, and nct dojaejung. the beginning of nct started when they debuted their first rotational unit with the single “the 7th sense”. members featured on this song include the talented vocalist doyoung, expert leader and rapper taeyong, jaehyun who lived in america for 4 years that’s why he’s here man, the all rounder and ace mark lee, and the probably gayest man alive (if not rivaled by xiao dejun) ten. known for their experimental techniques in music, nct made headlines in the music industry. not only is their vocal line up talented, but their rapping and dance skills are a force to be reckoned with. these features have made nct one of the best selling kpop groups of all times. nct is also known for their approach to different overseas countries as they have debuted 2 overseas units wayv and nct wish. however tensions with china have caused sm entertainment to neglect wayv as seen with the prolonged hiatus of lucas and the unfair line distribution of certain members. sm entertainment has been called out for this behavior but at least they don’t have ceos feuding with one another in a public legal battle.

BPP I love Jimin but the autotune is bad. 😔 I don't know how to feel about it. I wish Jimin did a song like Promise or Serendipity it wld be better for more people right? I hate how pdogg ruined Jimin's debut. We should admit it. Nobody is even streaming it on youtube. Armys are pretending it's a good song but kpop fans are right BPP, the song is bad.

*

Ask 2:

Hi BPP,

I hope you are well.

I have read and continue to read your blog. You seem to think so highly of the rap line which is wonderful. My post isn't about them but I do like them more than the vocal line. Please note I am not trying to be negative with my question below. I am more curious because this has been observation lately..

I am not trying to be negative but I was wondering if you could help me understand this. Being in K-pop for a while, I knew I would come across BTS at one stage in my life. I have always known they are popular. I would have to be living under the rock to think otherwise. But one thing I have always heard is a discourse around Jimins popularity. Even before I got into BTS, I would hear Jimins name thrown here and there. I knew BTS had a guy named Jimin but recently I have been thinking that perhaps he isn't as popular as I had assumed. I would have thought his music video would garner million and millions of views easily but it's not even at 15 mil. How could that be? Similarly, people aren't purchasing his songs on iTunes. I see people begging them to buy the songs on twitter. My understanding was that he is the most popular member of BTS but looking at his views compared to the rest of the members, I am thinking he is on the lower side of popularity. I am surprised to be honest. I know popularity doesn't mean everything but wouldn't he need that to be a successful artist outside of BTS?

I am also not sure if the new song is good. The autotune feels too jarring. The video is nice but the song in itself doesn't do it for me. I would have really liked to minimise autotune. It would have also been nicer if his song was more on the lines of lie. I feel there is too much focus on visual representation rather than the quality of the song. People will listen to the song more than watch the video so it's disappointing. It's also not doing that well. I mean Taylor's re-released songs are beating him already. I am worried his album won't be successful. I was hoping they would use this solo era to gather more fans but I don't see how Jimin could possibly garner more fans with a song thats so jarring to listen to.

***

Sigh, y'all should never say I didn't allow room for other perspectives in this space because I'm humoring this talking point far longer than I honestly care for. Not trying to be rude, just honest.

Hi Anon(s),

So... um, let's see. Please remember y'all are talking to someone who thinks UGH is the best song in BTS's discography. My playlist order for Set Me Free Pt 2 is:

Arson -> SMF Pt 2 -> UGH -> What Do You Think? -> SMF Pt 2

I mix it up with As I Am by JB and Khalid, Indigo, NewJeans, On The Street, and Smoke Sprite. For playlist switches I rotate between rock albums, hiphop, and lofi.

So, that's my taste. Usually.

What do you notice in all the songs in the first sequence? Think about it for a sec. With the exception of What Do You Think? to some degree, they all use autotune. A disgusting amount of it, and I love those songs so hard I would fuck them if I could.

I'm not sure if people understand what I mean when I say I'm a fan of BTS's music, that I'm an ARMY. I mean I actually love their sound and have reached this conclusion recently after following them since 2014. So PDogg's stylistic choices are ones I like most times.

Yoongi and Jimin are very similar. In my opinion. And there is no member who embraces autotune and pitch distortion more than Yoongi. He is also the only member who blatantly and unapologetically displays his alter-ego in his music - in Agust D - and that's not a coincidence. Jimin does the same thing or at least tries to create the same effect in SMF Pt 2 by using autotune. Pitch distortion is the easiest way to other yourself in a song, to create a secondary personality. Tyler Joseph does this a lot with a shadow personality within himself that he calls Blurryface in his music. Jimin in SMF Pt 2 is done playing games. That man has rage buried inside of him and somehow, he has transcended it. Yet he expresses that rage in his first song as a solo artist, through a secondary voice. The one that voices the animal in him. That Jimin is telling y'all to come correct or fuck off. And he calls out his opps. Yeah, his opps. It's Aave and yes it's sometimes unfortunate when k-pop idols use it, but sometimes it's not. Think of 'finna'. And none of the people up in arms about Jimin using that word give a rats ass that XG, a rookie group, have used it more often than Jimin to no issue, but yeah it's impossible for the idol so targeted by death threats the Texas police got involved, to say he's got opps. But I don't really care either way.

I digress. My point is the audacious and offensive use of autotune is the point in the song. It's aggressive. It's supposed to annoy you and if you happen to be a weirdo like me, it's supposed to tickle your brain. Like, this song seriously has me fucked up. I like it a lot and it's just a testament to years of discipline that I'm not looping it on Spotify.

Anon in ask 1, it's possible Jimin would reach a wider audience with a ballad, pop track like Promise/Serendipity, or a more conventional hiphop song. I'm sure he thinks so too, maybe. And yet that's not how he wanted to express himself. He chose the harsh autotune and I happen to think he sounds incredible with it.

Now Anon in ask 2, Jimin is one of the most popular members in BTS, and BTS is of course still popular. We both know that. But it's also true BTS has become less popular within k-pop spaces in general, but that's predictable given how the industry runs, and it's possible that was all you were experiencing Anon - an environment where BTS and by extension Jimin, just isn't that popular.

If that were even possible. Because like, this is Park Jimin we're talking about here.

For the people apparently begging others to buy the album, I guess they are simply people who strongly want Jimin to do well on the charts and are trying everything in their power to make it happen. I'm yet to see any of that personally though on my side of ARMY twt, what I'm seeing is organized and spontaneous purchases done out of love for the artist and his art.

*

You both mention YouTube views/streams so let me just say something on it. Personally, I don't care. I mean I care enough that we at least try to meet the goals and I genuinely love the video so I've watched it multiple times today, but not really beyond that. All this to express the extent of my interest in this matter. But even I know YouTube changed their view-counting algorithm in 2021 to increase a migration of users to their paid platform, YouTube Premium. Views today are harder to count and so one way k-pop agencies have worked around to gaining views, is to buy ads on YouTube. Perhaps it would be great if BigHit was as involved as other agencies in helping that way, but they haven't been so far except for the Pandemic English Trilogy (PET), and ARMY has more reason to stay engaged. All this to say, the views we currently have are one of the best records the fandom has ever achieved for BTS, no matter how it stacks up to the others because there are too many people who love SMF Pt 2, are talking about it, re-watching it, too many of them to not be significant enough. For YouTube we're doing fine and enjoying it at our pace.

Also I don't know what y'all want me to say about how a white American woman performs on US charts, relative to BTS members. I'm curious, did you check for their relative performance on Korean charts? Since you're so interested in the question.

You don't need to be worried about Jimin's album not being successful. It already is.

[nightswithkookmin]

Thanks for branching into my favorite topic

"He will do his Solo career with or without the members."

Brilliant. Love it.

But as will the others💀

The rap line have demonstrated this much. Tae is even handling Solo very well.

Between all three however it is still only Jimin who seemed to demonstrate a level of commitment towards the group. I'm not gonna say attachment because that throws people of.

Said it before, will say it again JIMIN IS THE BEST IDOL OUT THERE. you don't get to be the best idol just because. To have a whole producer coming out to say you will end Kpop in 2023. Ain't that the tea💀

I don't know why in one breath people want to praise Jimin and acknowledge his status as the idol other idols look up to, yet still have a problem when it comes to the nitty-gritty of what actually has gone into earning him that status.

He takes his profession seriously, does everything in his might to make sure he delivers his best and nothing short of it. Yet we can't see how that translates into him taking the group or band seriously too?? Wild.

Bts is the vehicle that has brought him here and you best believe Park Jimin is not driving no damn dead beat vehicle. He's changing the oils, greasing the rim, inflating the tires, tightening the knots and giving it a new shine. Best believe that.

He's worked so hard, played by the rules and done everything in his will and power to aid the group to achieve the wealth and success the group has amassed.

He recruited fans for the group, bust his ass practicing, dieting and damn near killed himself for the group.

I hate dont like it when people wanna say well he's not the attached one, that other person is, just to say it, because they associate negative meaning with the word attached when like I'm looking at that other person they claim is more attached and they come no where near Jimin's level of commitment and dedication he has shown to the group. No shade.

I don't see anyone in bts more attached dedicated and committed to the cause that is bangtan. He was willing to sacrifice his health, his sanity, his relationship with his boyfriend in the group for the success and well being of the group and we have a problem admitting this???

At the end of the day I think we all have very different feel and perspective on the matter and I like my perspective better🤣

That man tries. I'm sorry but he tries and I swear to you he is unmatched. Thanks for attending my rally.

Sorry I have to update this cos.... I have more to say

When I talk about he will be hit the hardest if BTS go Solo I'm looking at all that work my guy has put in to help build the group, the thought, energy, the nurturing, the effort- all of that.

And maybe I'm projecting- may be

But to see ones hard work just puff vanish into thin air just like that must suck. It's painful. Jimin's gotta shed a tear or two. And I know it mustn't have been easy for him seeing Jungkook run off feeling like he'd just been freed from a cage too.

Then Namjoon basically saying he was tired nearly destroyed my heart for Jimin.

In a way Jungkook won cos dude was dancing on Jimin's chest taunting him like bruh was it worth it denying us our happiness Hyung Ahjusi over this 🎤 speak into the mic🤣

And he keeps re-echoing those same sentiments even in his recent live talking about how he doesn't know when it will all end so he's just gonna Yolo 🤷🏾

Called jimin out saying as a grown ass adult they should be doing whatever they want

Frankly I approve that message.

Which doesn't mean I disapprove of Jimin's approach to things. He is by far admirable. And his way works. Especially in their line of work where they are constantly under scrutiny.

He's very professional

But at what cost?

Sigh, I won't have a public melt down over his weight and body again

I won't have a public melt down over his weight and body again

I won't have a public melt down over his weight and body again

I won't have a public melt down over his weight and body again

May be if I say it one more time I won't have a public melt down over his weight and body and the things he has to do to maintain it again 😫

Jimin....

chileee.
