And Armys talking about kcharts is funny BTS as soloist go nowhere on charts except when leeching off other popular artists 

Jimin and Suga haven't officially released any purely solo tracks as of yet so there's no datapoint there for comparison. As for j-hope, this tweet is actually wrong and he peaked at #5 with rush hour  BUT since you insist on comparing pure solos only, this was his debut with MORE

 

And also btw, do you really think Jcole is the reason this song is rising in korea  Exo-Ls really have the most fitting fandom name because all they've been doing since 2017 is taking L's left and right

BTS has had so many desperate collabs with Western artists and still never truly broke into the American mainstream it's crazy.

 

I don't know another kpop artist that had as many collabs as them it's near constant

i- the actual delusion of these types of comments will never fail to amuse me like sure grandma Betsy in Alabama might not know who Jimin is but BTS has 400k+ album debuts, multiple #1 singles, and the capacity to tour stadiums ACROSS THE COUNTRY. Please tell me who else can do all of these things in America and tell me they aren't mainstream  The Weeknd? Drake? Taylor Swift? Sounds like BTS is in some pretty good company!

 

Also BTS' most mainstream collabs are with Halsey, Coldplay, Megan, and Nicki. StinkPink has collabs with Gaga, Dua, Selena, and Cardi. Plenty of starpower there as well, but why can't the mannequins seem to do everything else I outlined earlier?

Never seen this but am obsessed! 

I wish we had more weirdo MVs like this nowadays.

Just to bring things back to this decade, the management involved in coming up with that stuff moved over to Mysticsomething when SM acquired them.  And they have this girl group called Billlie.  So, check that out, too.

 

I guess they're back under Kakao now.  Maybe they could fix Weeekly while they're at it.

The way Armys  couldn't wait for the opportunity to attack EXO again after all these years, since EXO have been N/A  

They need to let EXO breath and let them return to the industry in peace

Is SM gonna start posting their videos to 1theK once Kakao starts distributing their music?

BTS's smasha success is just one of those things I'll go my whole life not understanding, and I am fine with that.

 

i did kinda like butter tho ngl

 

 

 

anyways, better than anything BTS ever sharted into a microphone

 

 

 

 

 

I think BTS was just at the right place at the right time in their career, simple. Like, they weren't really making the best music out of the boygroups out there...among the 3rd gen top bgs, EXO, GOT7 and Seventeen were way more talented and COMPLETE and had much more to offer in terms of sound, quality, visuals and variety. And of course there were also WINNER, PENTAGON, MonstaX etc. as well.

I'm not trying to take away from their hardwork and hustle though, they've really defied all the odds and worked their way from being underdogs to the top. But timing has played a key factor in their growth and expansion beyond kpop.

Sis is already securing her coins with these side-passion projects and laying the groundwork for her successful career after LSRFM. Slay kween.

Looking back I wish we would have gotten a Blackpink/Pinkpunk survival show and Baemon just get the Beyonce/NewJeans release treatment this summer 

 

 

the "mystery" and "exclusiveness" works with BLACKPINK tbh

I don't think a blackpink survival show would've worked for them if they were exposed as much a babymonsters are being exposed right now before debuting officially 

 

I wonder how the evicted members feel right now except miyeon obviously. they almost got it

it's too good 

 

[MonsterNavy]

you gotta give props to BTS though

despite being the most talentless, ugliest boy group  and worst discography of their generation (and kpop overall)

they still managed to be the biggest kpop act ever. if that's not power then I don't know what is

 

[MonsterNavy]

armybots wilding and threatened by EXO already and this is only 1 exo member's comeback

imagine the meltdowns when the most talented, hottest and best discography 3rd gen boy group comes back in June  

 

the fact that this Kai solo alone is better than all bots soloist outputs so far I get the insecurity tbh 

[jeanie]

bts solo music is not hitting.... I'm waiting for the maknae line's official debuts 

[jeanie]

easily exo solos>>> bts solos so far I do liked rm's latest album the most so far

Hanna Jang
Currently: covering songs on youtube

 

Jang Hanna had a whole solo album for her and then it continuously got pushed back by YG so she just left the company.

[Take Me Apart]

 

No other currently active group can serve bombastic productions/vocals like them. I need their next cb to sound like Genie by SNSD

This is so sad. That company just hates women in general and this fact is confirmed every single time. 
 

Anyway

why is Set Me Free English version playlisted and not the original version no wonder the Blonks were foaming at the mouth and circlejerking on SMF’s streams the other day when it wasn’t even pushed on Spotify 

 

the fact that Moonlight Sunrise got so much more streams on the first day makes even more sense now. JYPIG is so weird I swear.

Ok I hope they credited the original artists for this thievery, if not then….
