#it's not hyung line stans' fault for hyping up their faves

"jungkook gave nothing during performance" that's a fucking lie and you know it. why are you hyung line stans so bitter and so fucking petty? bad mouthing jungkook for the number of fucking hearts in a vlive??????? are you serious??????? WHO THE FUCK CARES ABOUT THAT. why can't you appreciate all of bts equally??? and what i mean is STOP BLAMING MEMBERS FOR WHAT FANS DO. there shouldn't even be "hyung line stans" and "maknae line stans", that's so stupid. jfc grow up
first, have u even been in my dance tag ??this isn’t me hating on jungkook. i’ve been dancing for thirteen years and i know what i’m talking about when i say that he gave nothing during that performance.
he was tired and it was a bad run which is fine by my standards bc bts relies heavily on him during tour, but he shoudln’t have that many people fawning over him instead of hobi and gushing about his dancing like they KNOW what they’re talking about. he missed a huge eight count during his solo that both jimin and hoseok DE👏LI👏VE👏RED👏 jungkook looked like he didn’t know the choreo at times !!!! his dancing was all internal !!!!! no stage presence!!!
2) we’re bitter and petty bc we have a right to be. i’m not hating on any members, but i’ve been around in stan culture for a longass time and i’ve experienced stuff like this across all fandoms and ur weed aunt is tired of this. maknae line stans are easily three times the size of hyung line fandom. most of them are immature and only have eyes for their bias, and while i definitely agree that there shouldn’t be a split in the fandom, it must be noted that hyung line stans are trying to make up for the disparity, not dig the trenchlines deeper
maknae line doesn’t need more support. the hyungs do. how many birthday projects does taehyung have? how many fansites? how many people screaming for maknae performances compared to the others? the WINGS tour sold out of solo maknae merch while seokjin and namjoon had the most left over. people routinely ask hoseok during his vlives where the other members are, even to the point where he doesn’t broadcast by himself anymore and also gets these comments while he’s in the bts+ chatroom. it isn’t about “supporting bts as a whole” anymore, it’s about delivering the respect that the hyungs deserve bc they routinely get pushed aside for the more popular members.
the reason i’m so vocal about these issues is beacuse i know what it’s like to be pushed into the back. i know what it’s like to dance in the last row, farthest from the audience, do your best but get stunted for people who are prettier and younger and more popular. it’s awful when people say they love your ballet company….just not YOU, but rather some other girl in the front
hoseok is CONSISTENTLY shortsighted for his dancing abilities and namjin are always called out. as someone who’s been pre-professional for six years, it annoys me to no fucking end when fans who have NO DANCE EXPERIENCE or ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY experience try to speak over me! like fuck you! you don’t know anything except saying negative stuff about hyung line and trying to pass it off like you know what you’re talking about! newsflash! you don’t!
stop trying to parade around with your “chest pumps” and “isolations” and your 1 hour hiphop class you take on saturday nights or the 1MILLION dance studio videos you binge on during the weekends and expect that to make up for over a decade of experience. that’s just rude to 1) professional dancers 2) me, a bitch 3) hyung line, who are already too good for u
i can only imagine how it feels to be in a fansign and have dedicated “ARMYs” who manage to purchase enough albums to attend, but then ignore a member bc they aren’t their bias. namjoon has even said “now that you’ve talked to me, you can go talk to [your favorite] in the group” …. isn’t that one of the saddest things you’ve heard? what the fuck? how is that even ok?
hyung line, hoseok/namjoon/seokjin, in particular are fucking AWARE that they have the least amount of fans. they can see it in the crowd. you can hear it during concerts. during the hyyh epilogue tour, people should’ve been chanting seokjin’s name, but instead it was mixed in with a ton of fans screaming for yoongi and taehyung. namjoon has about 2 fansites compared to maknaes’ 200. people are DISAPPOINTED when they get their photocards and namjoon apologized to fans who received his when they opened their albums
hoseok watches youtube videos: reactions, their own M/Vs, stages, performances, etc. he knows, for sure, that his solo stuff isn’t as popular. he’s seen the view counts and all the comments. maybe he’s not fluent in english, but he seems to understand most of what people are saying, and it’s not like you need translations to read the comments that are literally just “JIMIN 😍😍😍” or “OMG TAETAE” or “KOOKIE ��💞”
i can’t believe it’s a struggle to get BME to 10m (we didn’t make it in time for hoseok’s birthday) and kim namjoon, who gained international recognition for his mixtape by renowned rappers in america during a period of time where bts was barely even peaking in the charts & finally put his foot out their in the music industry on his own & is a lyrical n musical genuis & set the bar That Much Higher in an industrialized music world where krappers aren’t ever rappers before they become trainees & take the mocking that he got from both korean fans and underground rappers for joining bighit and debuting & wrote/performed lyrics in eng..a language he taught himself….. rhyming them w KOREAN and hasn’t even gotten his M/Vs to 10m either??
the problem isn’t hyung line stans who don’t appreciate the whole group (they, in fact, are more likely to be ot7 supportive compared to maknae stans, let’s not forget), but it’s “fans” who don’t bother respecting the other members. hobi and namjin all know they’re unpopular compared to the rest. why can’t you be nice enough to give them something special bc maknaes have an overabundance of this treatment?
#anon#replies: inbox#anyway i'd apologize for going off but this message is exactly what i needed so that i could say all this shit and people won't come at me#and accusingly call it 'unprecedented'#while i agree w your point that there shouldn't even BE a divide in the fandom at all#(that is completely 100% valid and i support it)#it's not hyung line stans' fault for hyping up their faves#it's those who are solo stans or strictly maknae line ARMYs who are blind to the other members that need to be called out#ur anger is misplaced here#the majority of the bad beans are not w me#though there will always be Some

Map of the Soul: 7 Album - First listen review
[I won’t bother reviewing the ones from PERSONA that were added, since I already did a post for Persona when it came out. Only the new songs]
#1. Interlude: SHADOW
WOW.... just when you thought the first version hit hard/differently. The extended version comes in to choke-slam you against the wall.
#2. Black Swan
Our new Royal to take a spot in the throne of power along with Blood Sweat & Tears, Spring Day, Fake Love, and Outro: TEAR.
Do we even need to add more additional to what we’ve been saying since its release? As an artist, the lyrics still pull at my heart strings the same way they did the first time I heard it. Especially the verse that says:
‘If this can no longer resonate No longer make my heart vibrate Then like this may be how I die my first death But what if that moment’s right now Right now .’
This verse can be applied to ANY time we loose faith in ourselves or have to give up on a dream/passion and how that separation slowly kills us inside.
#3. Filter (Jimin’s solo)
....Not gonna lie, this song gives me TRUST ISSUES just because its Jimin LOL!
‘Cause I remember seeing & hearing Serendipity for the first time and it was such a lovely melody and the lyrics were so soothing like a lullaby expressing Love in its purest form.
But then you see the choreo and it all went Magic Mike SO FAST X”D.
Because on one hand the lyrics (at first glance) can be interpreted as Jimin seeing himself through Army’s eyes. How WE see his “Duality” - cute/adorable/lovely one minute and then sensual/tantalizing the next.
That boring expression of yours, boring feet Please look at me now Put down your phone, don’t even think about turning your head Let me know your type You can choose and use me yeah
Oh I cover your eyes with my hand Oh go towards the secret I’ll take you to a brand new world Yeah open your closed eyes now go!
Mix the colors of the palette, pick your filter Which me do you want? The one who’s going to change your world, I’m your filter Cover it over your heart
(Ok) How is it, do you feel it a bit? Is it still not enough? (Yes) Girl you have your chance I can be your Genie How ’bout Aladdin? I’ll become anything [for you] You can choose and use me yeah
That first part really does sound like how he would accommodating his “Persona” to make us happy. And every-time something he does isn’t enough he changes again.
Of course this doesn’t have to mean what he’s doing in the present, “Filter” could be just like “Lie” which spoke of his past-self and how he used to blame himself for the group’s failures. So maybe he’s expressing how’s he’s had to change himself throughout the years to please the fans as long as they understood and accepted who HE REALLY IS beyond the Idol persona.
Or y’know, this is just a very sexy number he wanted to try and shy away from his comfort zone XD. And I’ll bet all my money that the choreo’s gonna be SEXY AF and WE AIN’T READY FOR IT.
P.S. that moment when the music stops and he goes: “OKAY.” WITH HIS SEXY DEEP AF VOICE, JESUS!!!!
#4. My Time (Jungkook’s solo)
Kook’s solo not only reminded me heavily of “Begin”, but it also sounds like what “Decalcomania” should’ve been if he had released the full version.
He’s seeing himself not as an Idol, but not quite as Jeon Jeongguk either.
Like he’s just standing in the middle watching his two selves, his two Personas and trying to find which one is his. Which reality he is living in--or should be living in. Which part of his life belongs to his “normal/non Idol self” and which one is part of the mask/Idol self he puts up for the fans.
And yes, you know, yes. you know Oh I can’t call ya, I can’t touch ya Oh I can’t Let me know Can I someday find my time? Finna find my time Someday finna find my time
This verse sounds like he’s still experiencing that loneliness that all artists experience during stardom very often (Note on how in Shadow Yoongi is the one who says: “Nobody ever told me how lonely it is up here.” ). Like how he sometimes wishes he could tell someone, but can’t?
#5. Louder than bombs
All rise for our National Anthem!
If Shadow hit hard while choke slamming you. Then this song is the overkill.
The vocals are insane, and the lyrics mixed with the music tell one story through two points of view. Actor in the spotlight and Actor as a Spectator.
This is BTS telling us how people view them and having to keep their emotions in check in the face of criticism from general audience and even antis, versus how they truly feel inside and behind close doors.
Break, unwind, let it out, breathe out, stand up, pray for better days and keep moving.
#6. ON
THIS👏SONG👏FUCKING👏SLAPS👏PERIOD👏!
The energy, the rap line, the vocal line, the CRAZY FOOTWORK AND INSANE CHOREO.
THE JIKOOK NIP-SLIPS
THE BODY ROLLS
THE TATTOOS---
THE SUBTLE “GO FUCK YOURSELF!”
I LOVED IT and it gave me such a strong throwback to NOT TODAY.
#7. UGH!
This is CYPHER_pt3 Killer, CYPHER pt. 4, TEAR & DDAENG’s lovechild.
This song is the Rap Line going like: “THESE MOTHERFUCKERS WANTED TO TRY ME (AGAIN) AND IMMA GIVE THESE BITCHES A CYPHER.
BITCHES LOVE CYPHERS.”
#8. 00.00 (Zero o’ Clock)
When I saw that we were having another Vocal Line unit song the first thing I kept praying for was: “PLEASE don’t let this be another Truth Untold...”
Because I absolutely HATED the hypocrisy that came out of this fandom ESPECIALLY the toxic Solo Stans who did nothing but hype up their faves while shitting on other members (I will never forgive those who went so far as to defame and even act as if Jimin wasn’t part of the Vocal Line, ya’ll are still trash for that).
But I gotta say Zero o’ Clock was totally something I can see them enjoying while performing. Despite, of course, the song talking about hardships and finding a new way to be happy throughout the tough times even when you don’t feel like smiling.
I liked it, the vibes are a bit like “2,3″ and “Magic Shop”. A song for HEALING.
#9. Friends (VMIN sub-unit)
VMIN
SOULMATES FOREVER.
I also LOVED that they added the voice messages Jimin & Tae used to leave each other since their recording schedules were different and they didn’t see each other. That was such a nice touch. T_T
That little “Hello my Alien” .... that made me emotional. I kept imagining those mischievous kids running around playing pranks on the other members, like that one time they made Hobi fall off the chair and got chased by him XD ...*SOBS*
#10. Inner Child (Taehyung’s solo)
All the time I kept listening to this song I kept imagining Taehyung sitting in a park next to his Younger Self, like the way a father sits with their youngest son and talks to them about life. What to expect, what will change and how to go about these changes.
Really heartfelt song.
#11. Moon (Jin’s solo)
Just like Tae’s song, “Moon” makes me thinking of all those moments when Jin kept doing his “Heart Event” where he kept pulling out hearts out of nowhere. Each time more clever than the first, just to show ARMY how much he loves us.
I wonder all of a sudden, do you really know yourself? Do you know how pretty you are? I will orbit you I will stay by your side I will become your light All for you
This part in particular makes me think of Jin up on stage staring at a stadium full of bright little stars that are in reality Army Bombs.
#12. Respect (Namgi Unit-song)
Fave verse from this song is:
“Re-spect”, it’s literally looking again and again Looking again and again and you’ll see faults But despite of that you still want to look
And the fact that you have two members of different ages (Hyung/Donsaeng), in a sort of conversation that goes back and forth between what the real meaning of “RESPECT” is and how people throw the word around, even those who speak ill of others behind their backs.
And were they talking in Satoori in the end??? That was nice XD
#13. We are Bulletproof: the Eternal
Throw stones at me We don’t fear anymore We are we are together bulletproof (Yeah we have you have you) Even if winter comes again Even if I’m blocked off, I will still walk We are we are forever bulletproof (Yeah we got to heaven)
#14. Outro: EGO (Jhope’s Solo)
EGO is Jhope and Jhope is EGO in all it’s glory.
Like “Just Dance” i like the contrast how in EGO he’s doing a back-track to his younger self, how he used to dance to prove something TO OTHERS, where as now that he’s older he just accepts that everything that happened is just part of life. So he’s a happier now doing what he loves BECAUSE he loves to dance.
#15. ON (feat. Sia)
....WHY?
Like... I don’t wanna be THAT BITCH and drag nobody, but like... was this really necessary?
I mean atleast Nicki Minage and Halsey had their own parts that they owned like the bad bitches that they are.
But like...
Yeah, Imma stop right here.
