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.

Fake girlfriend, Fake boyfriend, silly! - Choi Seung Hyun/T.O.P x reader

Summary: After your manager plotted a fake relationship between his two biggest signed rappers, you and Seung get very close, as best friends, but tell me this...would friends treat friends like how Seung Hyun treats you?

Warnings: None :)

Whenever you were first asked by your manager to start a fake relationship with a guy from one of his boy groups you were complexed, Not recognizing any K-pop idol named Seung Hyun. The first time met him was out at a meeting with your shared boss, Seung Hyun was secretly excited about meeting you, while he found it irritating that his boss felt the need to fake a girlfriend for him, he liked the idea of having someone as cool as you around.

"Seung Hyun, this is Y/n, she's going to your show girl, Y/n, this is Seung Hyun, also known as T.o.p, he'll be your show boy" You manager stated, after that you two became close, using the excuse of having to make it believable to spend almost every minute you could with each other. While you were close with all of BigBang, you and Seung Hyun just clicked together, often sharing a hotel room whenever you'd tour with him for your collaborated shows or songs. It didn't take long after the announcement of your fake relationship for people to immediately either hate or love it, you weren't a rapper like your fake boyfriend, but you did rap in some of your songs, even having a few verses with him where you rapped together, but your manager liked to utilize your voice more, liking the way it wasn't too high pitched but still feminine and calming. You had been 'together' now for almost a year, getting ready for your first full tour with BigBang, you were nervous but also excited, this was big for you, hopefully.

Waking up in your hotel bed you groaned, stretching your body as much as you could before slowly crawling out of your bed before slipping on one of Seung Hyun's hoodies, you weren't sure what time it was, but the sun wasn't up yet, so you knew it was sometime in the middle of the night. You attempted to fall back asleep, but everything was making you uncomfortable, the airport lost your luggage, so nothing in the room made you feel like home, no pillow, blanket, nothing, just the smell of the half ass detergent the hotel used to wash the linens, standing up for the second time you slowly made you way to the connecting you, knowing beyond the door all four guys were most likely asleep, you contemplated on going on, not wanting to risk waking anybody up, but right as you started to turn around Seung Hyun's words echoed in your head 'Don't worry about some silly pillow, if you need something that reminds you of back home, we're all a door away' Turning to face the door again you slowly twisted the knob, watching as it slowly opened into their dark room, all the lights were off and from the faint glow from your bathroom light you could faintly see where everybody was. Ji-Yong and Seung Hyun shared a bed, and Dae-Sung and Tae-Yang shared the other. You pressed Seung Hyun's hoodie to your lips slowly making your way over to whom you hoped to be your fake boyfriend and best friend "Seung hyun" You whispered, feeling your anxiety start to creep up inside of you as he turned his back to you, forcing Ji-yong to stir as well. It wasn't that you were scared or scared of the dark, but ever since you were a teenager you would have severe anxiety in the dark if you sat too long, so standing in the basically pitch-black room wasn't helping your anxiety with not wanting to wake anybody or being in a new weird place.

Trying to stifle your whimpered you felt your hands start to shake as you tried to wake your friend up again "Seung Hyun please...I really need you" You whimpered quietly, instead of your intended target, Ji-Yong slowly sat up, turning his head around confused letting his eyes focus on you "What's up, y/n? Are you okay?" He asked, you bit your lip, trying to swallow the lump in your throat in your throat, sitting up more due to your silence, Ji-yong grabbed his cell phone using the screen brightness to see your face. Seeing your upset state he frowned, catching on to what you were trying to do, he tried to help you, and eventually after about five more minutes, you finally woke Seung Hyun up. As he woke up he shot you both a nasty glare, not wiping it off of his face until his eyes focused and he saw your shaking frame slightly in the dark, without saying anything Seung Hyun just motioned for you to go back to your bed, following behind you with his pillow under his arm. "I-I'm sorry" You whimpered, holding onto the cuffs of the hoodie sleeves, trying any way possible to calm your raging anxiety "Don't. Just lay down, dalkomi" He whispered tiredly, as he pulled the blanket back for you, for a moment you thought he was going to go back to his bed, but instead he just shut the connecting door before laying down next to you "Don't steal all of the blankets again" He warned before wrapping his arm around you pulling you close to where your head laid on his chest, his fingers caressing your spine as you rested your hand on his chest, the more he moved his hand on your back the more you could feel the anxiety slipping away and the tiredness starting to slip in. It didn't take long before Seung Hyun felt your slow relaxed breaths, and the way your hand barely rested on his chest anymore.

You both woke up with a startle, your bandmates standing in your room cooing with their phones out "Sooo cute!" Dae-sung cheered as Seung Hyun groaned slamming his head under the pillow, you just shot them all a tired confused look "Come on Lovers! We have an hour until rehearsals!" Tae-yang reminded as he placed two coffees down on the table, before ushering the others out. Tiredly you turned to look at Seung Hyun who was still hiding under the pillow, you absent-mindedly traced your nails up his back "Aein...handsome, come on" You called sweetly, it wasn't odd for you to call each other pet names, you were actually quite flirty with each other even outside of pretending to be together, you weren't sure about Seung Hyun, but you just liked the way you clicked with him, and you liked the way he'd blush anytime you'd call him into another room by calling him Aein. You watched as he slowly lifted his head "Do we have to?..I'm comfortable" He complained, you just laughed offering him a sympathetic smile as you patted his back "Yep, we have to, now come on, handsome" You replied before climbing off of the bed going towards the large costume bag your manager had dropped off earlier "ooo We're going to look hot, Aein" You cooed as you opened the black bag, seeing the deep red fabrics of a suit and dress, on top of other things, giggling as every outfit was coordinated together, Seung Hyun moved to where you stood smiling "You're going to look amazing" He agreed, you blushed slightly as you pulled out your first outfits, handing the suit to Seung Hyun before you disappeared into the bathroom. After a few moments you both called out "Aein?.." "Dalkomi?" Giggling you opened the bathroom door stepping out "Zip me up?" You asked playfully, he walked over, carefully placing his hands above your waist to hold the fabric of the dress, zipping the zipper up and clasping the small latch he smiled "Tie this damn thing for me?" Seung Hyun asked, playfully pouting as he motioned to the black tie "Of course, handsome" You teased tying the tie effortlessly. As you pulled away you both stopped, staring into each other's eyes before hesitantly pulling away, what was that?

As the show started you stood in the center of the boys, the smoke machines layering a thick smoke over the floor of the stage, as you all dispersed you waited for your cue to start singing. You were having fun, completely forgetting all about your moment with Seung Hyun until Fantastic Baby, you had sat down more to the back of the stage to watch considering you weren't singing and weren't required to preform currently, As soon as Seung Hyun started his first verse he made his way to you pulling you to your feet as he rapped, bringing you close to him before finishing, nodding his head along to Ji-Yong, smiling as he followed to chorography facing you, you just laughed at him starting to mimic his movements, he brought the microphone close to his mouth cheering into the mic before moving back to the center of the stage to continue his second verse.

After the song came to an end you smirked hearing you voice layover theirs, the song transitioning into one of your favorites of yours. As you rapped along to it you took notice of Seung Hyun nodding his head along to your words, throwing some of his own chorography in, Seung Hyun rushed over to you, spinning you around before shaking his hips as he jumped around you, obviously having fun with his free time. As the song ended you panting attempting to catch your breath, Ji-yong circling the stage talking to the crowd as you regrouped with Seung Hyun and the others "Fuck it is next, ready for it?" Tae-yang asked, knowing that was the song that required the most interaction and movement between you and Seung Hyun other than Bae Bae and your back dancing with Seung Hyun for Zutter. "I'm already so tired" You mumbled as the track started to play, Seung Hyun just smiled, kissing your cheek as he rushed past, grouping with the guys for the beginning of the song. Other than your small verse towards the end, your main focus during this song was moving with Seung Hyun and the boys, basically bouncing between them all as a long interest.

Whenever the boys preformed If you, you used your opportunity to take a break, sitting down and taking a drink of your water you smiled in awe. You never heard Seung Hyun actually sing often, but you always loved it, you thought it sounded exactly how you manager described your voice. Whenever Zutter came on came on you were proud of yourself, hitting every move and mark perfectly with the music, and even whenever you'd throw you own little moves in with Seung Hyun, he still always knew what to do somehow, you watched as he pointed at you while rapping, you just rolled your eyes as you danced, giggling whenever you felt Seung Hyun press his hips against yours from behind, bouncing his hips with the beat of the music, your face immediately broke out in a blush as you smacked his chest in shock.

Whenever it came to your last song you purposely saved the most sexual and vulgar for last, you liked the chorography a lot, liking how confident it made you feel as you slid on to your knees at the end of the stage, bouncing on your knees for a moment as you sang, letting yourself slowly fall back you slid back arching your back away from the cold stage surface, silently thanking the spandex shorts under your dress, your head arched just enough to see Seun Hyun running his hands up his body and neck, mimicking your song from his spot at the far with the other boys. As the song ended you stayed were you were, waiting a moment for Seung Hyun to make his way helping you to your feet "That move was new" He stated on your walk back "You think the boss is going to like it?" He teased, you just rolled your eyes "I don't care, I did it for you, Aein" You smiled teasingly watching his face go red, as you all made your way to the end of the stage you smiled, standing on your mark on the platform waiting for the boys to reach theirs before you posed, you immediately kneeled down, using your hands to stabilize yourself Seung Hyun moved forward, pressing his fingers to your cheeks for you, causing you to giggle as the bass to Fantastic Baby played one last time before you all made your way towards the exit of the stage. As you approached the mark you slowed down, blushing brightly whenever Seung Hyun's hand quickly touched your ass, you turned around pretending to storm off stage, Seung Hyun looked towards the ground one last time before winking and running after you.

As you got off stage you were a blushing mess, Seung Hyun quick to find you, a bright smile on his face "I knew you'd be amazing! That's why you're T.O.P Best friend" He said proudly, never noticing your face falling as he called out your real title.

Right..Best friend

Ooo we love a slow burn with a fake relationship concept PLUS a clueless but cocky Choi Seung Hyun AND the rest of the band loving you? I dunno about you lovelies, but this gal likes a lot.

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!!!!

My teenage self who was obsessed with Bigbang was already peeking out of it's cave since GD, Dae and Tae's show at MAMA, now with Squid Game 2 she's fully back, I'm straight up being Mr. Choi Seunghyun promoter making edits of him for Tiktok to show that work of art of a man to new fans who are curious about him because of Thanos. I even dusted off my FROM TOP book for pics of him that I couldn’t find on Pinterest.

I'm crazy again. Thank you, Seunghyun, once again, for your service my lord and savior. You were my first love and I'll always love you, my darling.

[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?

[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.
