hearing this for the first time and appreciating this fusion of art and pop just to get butter couple years later…

I used to think I hated bts bc they were used to create hybe but I think it's out of frustration bc they can make GOOD songs if they weren't so focused on success  

 

The song was originally released on October 18, 2024 at 1 p.m. KST, meaning that it took the video just over 235 days to hit the 1.7 billion mark. "APT." has now become the fastest music video by a female artist ever to surpass 1.7 billion views on YouTube—and the third fastest overall, bested only by Luis Fonsi's "Despacito" featuring Daddy Yankee and Ed Sheeran's "Shape of You."

 

 

 

 

even their pop song used to be so cool

my theory is that after D4, the fans and hybe (not necessarily bts members) were a bit threatened at the pinks kinda blowing up so they pressured bts to drop the most basic songs for mainstream success 

quote me when surviving hybe drops in 5 years 

 

Seunghan's project is intriguing, it gives me hope that SM is actually putting effort into this instead of just going the route of 1 mini album and then dungeon like other soloists. Kinda a little bit of a Seo Taiji & Boys or Hyun Jinyoung & Wawa vibe where he's the main focus and has a fixed dance crew backing him up... I guess it's called "XngHan & Xoul" where Xoul is the dance crew

 

we're gonna eat so good

I would wait for the numbers after debut before dreaming about what can be or even saying he won't get a dungeon sentence.

it sad that they kinda did for the album and went back for born pink 

the press release of the renewal and rose's interview kinda alluded to them switching it up a bit 

ngl I kinda expect some teddy'd ratata ta's still but  

so we will see

 

Is Teddy even going to be involved is the question  with TBL slowly leaving I can see YG taking more control and using their in-house people for this comeback. 

 

Although BP mentioned each girl bringing new things since their solo endeavours I fear they'll still go typical girl crush route, but I would prefer AIIYL 2.0 

Like why would SM waste this bop on naevis knowing she is flopping...and now it's probably shelved indefinitely along with her mini album

 

aespa should pull a Welcome To My World and snatch this song away from her SYNKed-out ass

Not bad for a surprise Japanese release with only 9 hours tracking

he always will be involved in blackpink (and the whole team like r.tee and 24 ect), the girls seem to genuinely like him for the group 

I believe born pink is the result of teddy being too busy preparing for Meovv, even when we saw jennie and rose in sessions with western producers those songs didn't make the cut (or they were for their solos  ) and pink venom was the lead 

YG has two groups to worry about now  I feel like as long as the tour brings money he won't care that much about the output 

 

I've always said that a song like AIIYL or lovesick girl in English is their best shot at a proper global smash, girl crush is their strongest form but I hope the shut down video meant that they are really done with that aspect

bts members can't bulk up to give us permission to dance type of songs 

please let them go back to their pre-Covid ways or steal EXO's nachos with a song like 

omg

 

 

 

They DEVOURED

 

 

 

this song is shit from the butt but Taehyung looks so good in his denim

 

turns out they did, in fact, need permission to dance

 

Congratulations...and still charting at #7. Whipsmash!
