think of it as… Army evolving. A lot of them (including someone I actually know in real life) recognised that the behaviour towards the Jennie and Taehyung thing was quite weird. Obviously there are a still quite a number of fans that are crazy about shit tho

You know, anon, I can’t think of it as “army evolving” because they are not evolving, or, they are not evolving when it comes to Taehyung. The corny jokes at his expenses are still there, you see them on the tl or you see them in people’s circles, so idk if I can see it like that because in my opinion, armys got too comfortable joking about taehyung ending up most of times in being disrespectful.

Op sorry it got a bit long 👉🏻👈🏻

It shouldn't be controversial cause it's true. Awards and sales don't matter in a question of influence over the genre. Even relevance as of today doesn't matter (by relevance I mean how popular the artists are rn) in a question of influence over the genre.

I see a lot of people not knowing who Chuck Berry is but it doesn't strip him of the title of one of the most influential musician to ever exist, and i'm not sure he even had won anything in his prime years (cause they didn't had many awards back then, actually, does ANYONE except fans, knows how many awards idk Queen, Elton John, Beatles, Bob Dylan won? I bet not, cause it's not important, what is important is what footprint they left in music history and development)

New k-pop fans might not know BigBang, or deem their music not to be relevant now or whatever, but they should not say that BigBang is nothing and is not important for k-pop history and development. Damn they are one of the first bands who made it big outside of Asia (my moot who attended their shows in USA in 2012 and 2015 says hello). Like, yes BTS made it much bigger, but that, again, doesn't strip BigBang of their achievements. I love to say that BigBang and Psy paved the road and built the door for the world to peek at k-pop, and BTS opened that door wide, like slammed it into the f wall.

Why can't fandoms live in freaking peace...

my controversial opinion is that numbers sold and awards won don’t actually matter. it doesn’t tell you how good the music is or the influence of said music. it is merely a stat in who cuddles up to the people who do award shows and who has the most obsessive fan base.

if you wanna know how influential a person who group is see who names them as their influence. see who brakes down walls for others. who’s the first bit who’s got the most.

“Alright good work, everyone!!” The choreographer said as she gave you a nod of approval, you did very well today. All smiles and very energized for this rehearsal. The other members of your group was so damn confused because you'd usually get a nasty glare from the choreographer because of your lack of energy and smiles for rehearsals, so they've been wondering their asses off why are you suddenly up for the rehearsals today.

While you could care less, your mind was too full of 𝗞𝘄𝗼𝗻 𝗝𝗶-𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗴, aka 𝗚-𝗗𝗥𝗔𝗚𝗢𝗡. You definitely have been crushing over him, yeah you met him a few times and even became friends with him too, and his childhood best friend Tae-yang. It was the best day of your life alright, your heart was pounding, your face felt a little warm.

“Are you blushing??”

Tae-yang muttered as he smirked at your face, contorting in shock and then embarrassment at the realization you were actually blushing. Oh yeah, BigBang was here too, actually they were supposed to he in the other room but they're here, watching you and your group do it's magic. All your confidence and self-esteem started crumbling away the moment your eyes landed on Ji-yong who was observing the place with a curious look in his eyes.

“Tae-yang?! What are you guys doing here?” You whisper-yelled, making Tae-yang giggle and nudge your shoulder gently. “Come on, this is your chance to impress him.” He whispered to you, oh of course Tae-yang knew you have a crush on Ji-yong. He teased you about it but he didn't tell Ji-yong, but he would give out the most risky hints, but Ji-yong was oblivious about it.. He would brush it off with a chuckle or simply shake his head, worse, ignore it.

“Dong Young-bae don't you dare!—”

Tae-yang gently shoved you back in your respective place and the music starts, because Dae-sung is there who is scooting away like he didn't just turned the music on. You had no other choice but to dance because right now, they were in charge as they claim it to be. With Tae-yang giving you the most annoying smirk, Dae-sung just smiling innocently like he didn't had this planned at all. You sighed and decided it's rehearsal anyway, you're not gonna let your shyness shatter you now. You gotta show them who you are.

“Y/n?” Tae-yang pats your shoulder, everyone else has left. You're still here, just sitting and staring into space for the past fifteen minutes, thinking about how to approach Ji-yong again like you used to, because you know damn well he was oblivious about your feelings and he considered you as a good friend. As nuch as it hurts, it's true. You really wish you'd be able to express yourself more without being judged so much, too bad Knetz won't even spare you. The thought really makes your brain lag and chest ache.

“Come on, you did your best today. So i was thinking of inviting you to our dinner for tonight?” Your eyes widened and looked at him in shock. Seriously? Dinner? With them? Ji-yong is there! “Okay!” You replied instantly, making him bust out laughing. “Really? That's all it takes?” He laughed out and you were already up and running towards the door.

The others were already on theitlr way to the restaurant too, but Tae-yang had to stay behind for a bit because you did ask for his help a few hours ago when Ji-yong and everyone else wasn't around.

On your walk there, you can't help but ask about Hyo-rin too, how they've been. And you're glad and happy for them that they've been doing great. You were also best friends with Hyo-rin, don't even ask how many times you had been invited over for dinner and you see Tae-yang's face covered in those skin care products and wearing a pink headband. You definitely snapped a picture or two, and even Hyo-rin let you be their photographer and take pictures of her and him both in the skincare products.

Sometimes you'd picture it in your mind, you and Ji-yong having a skincare routine together..

“Y/n, you asked me before..”

Tae-yang's voice cut off your heavenly imagination which got you annoyed a bit, but you glanced at Tae-yang, wondering what he's up to now. “You asked for my help, and tonight I'll be helping you. Ji-yong doesn't bite, surely just start off with a simple greeting, greet the others too then I'll make you sit next to him.” You looked at him in disbelief, sit?? Next to Ji-yong? “Then just start talking about stuff, talk about Art, he's getting interested in Art now too.” You nodded, humming softly.

“Thank you.. Tae-yang.”

You muttered softly, just hoping this would actually work and help you rebuild a better connection with Ji-yong. You've been daydreaming for days about it, just thinking about it really made you wish you weren't so damn hesitant and just do it. It was your fear of ruining things that always stopped you from doing anything. You feared the day Ji-yong will fully stop acknowledging you even as a friend. You vented to Tae-yang before that you will just push those feelings aside, because you don't wanna lose Ji-yong, so it'll be fine if he was just your friend, it would be better than not being his friend, right? You weren't the type of person to risk the friendship that is slowly losing its spark.

As you finally made it, Tae-yang led you to the table. There they were, Dae-sung, Seung-hyun and Ji-yong. Tae-yang quickly 'helped' you sit down, even though he literally just made you sit next to Ji-yong. Dae-sung and Seung-hyun looked at each other before they gave you and Ji-yong a suspicious look. “I invited Y/n with us for tonight since i also wanted to make it up for her after she helped me and Hyo-rin with some stuff.” Tae-yang stated calmly as they all nodded.

“Hey, Ji-yong.. Dae-sung and Seung-hyun.” You greeted them with a kind smile which they politely returned. You were nervous, it's been a while since you were this close with Ji-yong again, and you really missed him too.

“Y/n, long time no see. I hope we can catch up.” Ji-yong's gentle voice made you snap out of your mind and look at him softly. Your heart racing and your stomach full of butterflies, this was your chance!! Do it like Tae-yang told you on your way here. “Oh, of course.. We could definitely catch up! It's been a while too, i was.. thinking of maybe sharing some of the new things we learned?” That brought a smile to Ji-yong's face and chuckled.

“Oh my god, Yes! I've been excited to tell you about it!” Ji-yong gently placed a hand on your arm. The sweetness and excitement in his voice, and his actions, it really brought back memories when you first met.

“That sounds like a plan then.” You said softly and he chuckled and suddenly placed a kiss on your cheek and whispered.

“How about a date instead?”

Fanservice?

In the lights of uhm.. everyday's events because at this point there's nothing occasional about this, i wanted to talk about this one subject :

✨Fanservice✨

Or as they call it in Korean 팬서비스 . Quite honestly i'm not making this post for you know who because as much as i want to educate them they're hard headed so this is more of a general knowledge for everyone and whoever wants to add it to their Kpopictionnary.

Fanservice is literally the act of servicing the fans aka doing things that would please the fans. I know that a lot of people think that fanservice = gay activities or queerbaiting well.. It's not entirely true, maybe it's a form we are more used to seeing nowadays but fan service can pretty much be a very straight activity as long as it keeps the fans entertained.

As a kpop oldie (i'm no expert just speaking from experience) i used to listen to 2NE1 and a bit of Bigbang and these two groups engaged in fanservice mainly because both of their fans liked the chemistry between them, i remember noticing this about CL and G-dragon, yes they were friends but that didn't mean that to please their fans they wouldn't do a lil something to make it look a tad bit romantic

In more recent kpop groups, despite me not knowing them all too much BUT i know OOO (OnlyOneOf) have this one "Libido" choreography that is very.. HUM and personally i know choreographies are a form of art but i also think that it has a bit of an act of service. But then one should be able to not mix up everything cause one of the members, Rie, has a song called "because" but because of the nature of the song, what it is talking about, the MV cannot be considered as fanservice.

In other words, just because something looks "gay" to you it does not mean that it is automatically an act of service.

In general the fanservice culture is pretty well known in Kpop but contrary to the past where it somehow was a bit of a "mandatory" thing, now as an idol you either chose to do it or you don't, and many times within the same group some chose to do it some don't, as long as the one who choses to do it respects the boundaries of the person who just isn't interested in it, then they're just having their fun.

Now moving on from generalities to specifications, BTS, which i've seen a lot of confusions and misinformation going on about them and fanservice. Will i be one of those who will say that they NEVER did that? No of course not i'm not that stupid and blind, but will i just lie and say that up until this day they are still engaging in it? Also no.

Listen, kpop idols in general have a tougher starts, and BTS just like other groups had to engage in some form of fanservice which is why you'd find videos like this on YT

And yes this whole thing was an act of service, remember their lil games too? Aka when Hobi stole tae's first kiss lol well yes that was an act of service. But you know what else is an act of service? Fan meets, because whether people are ready to accept that this also falls into the fanservice category or not, it IS a fanservice, an idol basically offers the fan the service of getting to see them up close, hold their hand, talk to them, give them gifts, etc..

Now just like i mentioned above, it is a bit less tough in the recent years as idols now have a choice, which was the case for our boys. Things change, the same way personalities do, the same way our boys in the past had a certain view about what masculinity is and what their view now is of masculinity, our boys are just no longer interested in that type of fanservice since within the years they've been together they grew closer and it's easier for them to naturally tend to be affectionate.

In what i like to call their "lil skit" on PTD in Seoul Jimin made it very clear that they're not into "fake stuff", why do i think that maybe it's a skit to get the message across, it's simply because our boys do go online and they do see what people say about them and in a way or in another they always tells us what's up, so of fucking course they must've known about how some "fans" seem to downgrade their bond into just an act of service.

While some smaller groups are still a bit "forced" into that extra bond with the members, i remember seeing somewhere that some idol confessed they weren't even that close but they were forced to act like it, bigger groups like BTS don't need that anymore to push them further and yet "some people" like to still call their bond a fanservice simply because they have narratives that get humbled everytime and they're not ready to accept it.

Whatever activitiy a member choses to do with the other, this has nothing to do with fanservice whether you like it or not. Jimin attending Tae's music bank show is because he wants to support his friend, Namjikook attending and participating in Yoongi's concert is because they wanted to be there and wanted to do a surprise, any member chosing to hang out with another member or a member of a different group is not an act of service, they are human, and they have relationships with other humans which so happen to be their friends.

People need to stop putting the boys into a bubble they've created for them and anything that goes beyond that bubble is deemed unacceptable for them and titled as fanservice or "forced to do". BTS will ALL be in their 30's very soon, they are adults and very responsible for their own action, they are very big, very popular and don't need anyone to tell them what type of relationship they should be having with others.

I feel like countries need to invest in more green spaces because clearly some "fans" need to go outside and touch some grass they've been a bit too invested into the online community that they forgot that idols have lives and they can actually chose to be friends with members of their own group too.

With that being said, let's please keep supporting our boys, we shouldn't let haters ruin our mood or try to pick fights with us, the best thing to do is ignore what we can and report what is harmful. Have a nice day y'aaaall and STREAM MUSE!!!!

[danielle-on-the-flower-road]

Happy Anniversary, BIGBANG! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 You guys were the best group ever!! ✨✨✨✨✨ Thank you, Ri, Dae, Ji, Tae and TOP for all the amazing memories!! 💙💚💛💜❤️ Maybe someday you can find the way back to the path of greatness!!

BIGBANG THE TIMELESS ICONS OF KPOP

[lunabug2004]

I'm absolutely sick of seeing people say "the members definitely knew" bc... no??? It's just as real a possibility that they had no idea.

SM released a statement saying they were not notified of the accusations until mid-August and that Tae*l started being investigated on the 28th.

This means that the members most likely found out either right before or right when we did. Obv, we have no way of knowing, unless we're told, if any of the members knew or if they even suspected anything, but abusers and manipulators have ways of hiding their sick deeds from anyone and everyone, including their closest friends and family (most criminals' families, who they live with, don't find out their crimes until everyone else does). So it's better to assume the members had no idea rather than making them feel even worse for a situation completely out of their control.

At the end of the day, every member is their own person with their own separate lives, and just because one member is exposed as absolute human garbage doesn't make it any more or less likely that the others are anywhere near similar. If they didn't know, imagine how much pain they're going through right now.

(I mean, we all remember the BigBang situation. The members didn't know anything in that case, despite having slight suspicions. I'm sure, if anything, it's the same situation with the neos. Almost no one's first thought would ever be close to this)

And this is not me ignoring or discounting the victim(s). I fully believe the victim(s) matter most in this situation. But we can't let one person's awful deeds effect so many other people more than they already have, that's just not right.

The best we can do, until more information comes out, is support the victim(s) above all else, and at least feel some empathy towards everyone, including the members, who were affected by this awful situation.

Editing to add: I do also think an investigation on the others is a good idea. That way people wouldn't be in the dark on whether the members knew anything or not. But it's most likely not happening, or at least we probably won't hear the results, so, again, we can just support those who were affected until we know more.

WHAT A TIME TO BE A VIP THIS YEAR

[moonsunbam]

the ONLY people that are believing this daeun girl are straight and homophobic pjm and armys, TAEKOOKERS and TAE AND JK SOLOSM... no one in korea is giving a fuck about what this hag post, not even k-jikookers.

daeun is an actress that failed her career, she is not even in any type of form of line in korea industry, and shes known by every fandom as someone who try to do a dating rumor with any idol like shes a well known sasaeng at this point. SHE HAS DATING RUMOR EVEN WITH JK KKK

and she actually date that seungri guy of bigbang that is a CRIMINAL!!!

do you guys really think that this woman would date jimin? really? do you really think that him being the most private member that dont even share his FUCKING TV for army to see would date a person that is always post about him on ig? do you guys REALLY think he would let her do all of this while he is away in military service? like SERIOUSLY?? do you even know jimin?

[topconfessions]

where do you stand in this ot thing? ot3? ot4? or five? also is it true that top don’t get along well with seungri? not in bad terms but they’re just awkward with each other cause ive seen some interviews where they did say that but i have no clue why

It's sort of true. Top generally got along with him but towards the end, top was always trying to throw mega hints out there Seungri wasnt living right and a lot of shade. So no, he was not close to V like the others.

I'm 0T3. Sorry. OT3 because Seungri didn't have what the other members had and used what personality advantages and his good skill at networking / making friends to cut corners and have a whole side life to himself but fell into a bad crowd then embraced it. I really truly believe bigbang was meant to be a OT4 group but Seungri for squeezed in there and although they all eventually learned to love each other (although top dis state once that YG is a business and not a family*) and get along - he mever really got the same respect and was always that member that was last to me.

Like hes the kevin of the group if we looked at BB like jonas brothers. GD & Top is Joe. Tae & Dae is Nick lol. Anyways, despite the fact seungri added a special color to the group and a lot of their music would've been incomplete without him - the group carried on when he had his mess instead of disbanding or doing a silent indefinite hiatus. Tbh? I like Seungri Solo stuff the best aside from TOP, in a way? More than top. Seungri had real potential had he used his damn brain and left the company after his 2nd solo album and did his own thing.

All of BB problems individually is that they give off a lax reluctance to let go or venture on until they *have* to. This brings me to TOP. I'm OT3 now cause top should've left BB after Tazza 2 way back then. Like Space X project, top was really engrossed with this image of being an actor now and being in films, so to /me/ (not saying it is, just from how I view it) he really projected this image of a rising serious actor who was all in and knew his ish etc. I remember when fans were speculating if he was going to leave the group or not cause of how his individual projects were going. He should've left right then and did a goodbye Mini album or a solo song with bb featuring on it then called it a day. Leave peacefully and correctly. To me, he overstayed his welcome. He stayed and stayed then ended up in a mountain of legal trouble with Han Seo Hee. It would've been less worse to me if he was independent like he is now professionally and got in trouble. I do like MADE and it was a great album but he could've at least left after made.

Tae is pretty much a family man who grew up and did the usual. Well rounded guy. Nothing bad to say about him although I wasnt too fond of him during made cause his behavior was very hyper and rowdy to me, it was a bit much for my tastes although I knew he was playing and horsing around.

Dae is okay too.

GD is who he is always. I think in an ironic way he's mentally the strongest professionally speaking at least. He has his ups and downs but he's not letting his personal life or any issues interfere with or alter his career. I feel he's truly deeply passionate about everything he does and its a real way of life for him but he is an SM trainee from the start so he has a better and more adept sense of how to carry himself than the others - even if his training when he was a kid was brief.

Thats what I think. But it is telling they wont make a song with just the three of them. Its kinda showing me that the song probably wouldn't flesh out well without top and seungri influence unless they stick to a certian genre.

[dearweirdme]

Tae is friend with PSJ. If you know his reputation, then there is no way they would be friends if Tae is gay. So yeah I don't think Tae is gay. It's more of a persona that he created. But offcam? 100% straight. Idol does that a lot. I remember someone fr BigBang or was it SuJu? This idol would kiss his member onstage but off cam is super homophobic. You want to know your idol personalities? Look at who they are friends with and not what they show oncam. Oncam 95% of the time is acting. As what JK said in a recent interview, "I can act too". Yep, you're right JK. You act very well that is why Tkkrs really think you and Tae have something much more than friendship".

Hi anon!

I disagree, for one.. I think Tae is more outwardly queer offstage and off camera than he is on camera.

Secondly, I think Park Seo-Joon’s reputation is worse than his person is. The most I’ve seen people reverence in regards to this are old (ten years or so back) comments of him. Seo-Joon is also a product of his society, I think it likely he, as many, has learned and changed his views over time.

Friends do not define you, but also… maybe Tae’s influence on his friends was actually strong enough for them to accept him. People go miles for the ones they love anon. I think your reasoning is a bit odd. Rather than believe Tae is who he shows you, you take secondary ‘evidence’ to be more valuable in assessing his character. If that’s what you think of him, why are you even here?

[mysmorgasbordoffantabulosa]

what do u think abt the theory that hybe is pushing more bangpink interactions because of their relationship with yg and their future merging plans hence why tae is being used in a rumor and jk showed up at jn’s ck party/coachella

Well, I've often wondered if HYBE/YG might merge (or more likely HYBE takeover/acquire a large stake in YG), I've even mentioned it in a couple of times in my not so serious yearly predictions...

I do think it's more likely as time progress that we may get some further formalised business arrangement that basically means HYBE/YG are part of the same company.

All these connections between mostly BTS/BigBang/Blackpink, could be indicators of this. However, for me the bigger indicator is SM and HYBE's "takeover" attempt. In retrospect that was clearly HYBE not in any way wanting SM but to merely nix it and its new parent company Kakao, why because we now know that both are having major issues with regulators and their artists.

Since that attempt HYBE is now flying high with its share price, and oddly just this year do is YG, but I feel that won't last and HYBE could step in to invest as a minority shareholder, particularly if Yang Hyun-suk continues to play a role in the company as he's sure to bring some scandal with him in the future.
