WHAT DO WE DO WITH THIS DORK | Cr twt OFFTHEREC_V
Some of you forgot this picture exists & it shows. Why they so hot for 😍💜
Going to interrupt my regularly scheduled programming to talk about some things that are honestly getting under my skin. But first.
This song, "Tonight," the one that Kim Seokjin worked his ass off to produce, his own first self-produced song, the one he wrote thinking about the pets he has lost which he is still very upset about,
this song hasn't received half the support from this fandom that the two previous solo songs received.
No one likes to hear that the hyung line gets recognized less often and most likely, very likely, quite probably has fewer fans than the maknae line individually or combined. No one likes to hear anyone mention the discrepancies with the numbers for "Tonight" versus "Promise," or "Scenery." All anyone wants to say is, 'those songs have been out longer, duh, that's why they have more streams, Jin will get there'. That's very astute. Very wise observation. Incredible intelligence. The intelligence is very good. (- my best Trump impression.)
Real talk?
How about instead we consider the fact that "Tonight" from the very first week was less streamed. The first day it broke some record, Jimin's I think, for 24 hour streams, and I watched as it peaked at 8 million streams and then slowly crept to where it is now at not even 15 million streams after being out for one month.
Just look at where "Tonight is at one month versus the others at 6 months and < 6 mo. Divide those streams by the # of months each solo has been out and you'll get a very rough estimate of how many times the song has been streamed per month.
You'll see it's a hell of a lot more than 14 million.
It genuinely frustrates me when I see fans pushing to increase those numbers and still creating streaming parties for songs that have been out for months, songs that were just released for our enjoyment, they were a gift. And people are still streaming them like it's war.
And what's worse is that I'm seeing some of you guys say that these songs weren't streamed that hard in the beginning because they were unexpected or because we didn't know there was a record to break, and I'm sorry but I have to call bullshit on that. I have to call bullshit because I was one of the countless people streaming all day long and not even listening at times because we wanted to show support. You're absolutely goddamn right it wasn't about beating Drake's unknown record. We just wanted to show support. So yes, countless among us streamed it all day long, listened to it until we had the words memorized because we were just so surprised and happy and how else are we supposed to show the artist what the gift meant if we don't stream their song. The ridiculous battle mentality started when the other song was released and the intention from many people was to beat the previous record. It became malicious. It's unnecessary to pit artists within the same group and their songs against each other and that's what some people tried to do. And when that happened some of us streamed harder too. So to say the numbers for the previous solo songs are not a reflection of aggressive support, aggressive support which Seokjin probably will not receive any time soon if "Tonight" is an indicator, is just absolute bullshit. We all watched that happen. I'm still seeing it happen. But some people trust that public memory is forgetful. They're right.
The takeaway?
Seokjin deserves more from this fandom.
And I don't care who this post offends. I'm proud of them all and I stream all of their songs. But for fucks sake. This is basically shameful he put that much into this song and this is the result.
And I don't see anyone-not any damn one of you-raving about how the members aren't hyping him up on social media and about how we haven't heard barely anything about the song since it was released minus Namjoon mentioning he helped with it. And we all know how some of you like to rant and rave about OT7 and a lack of support from bangtan when certain members put out solo projects.
Only certain members. The silence is deafening for Seokjin.
It's times like these when I get disgusted with the transparency of this fandom and why I will absolutely no longer even pretend to have a bias, even for fun. I hate the entire everything about bias culture. When I got into them and found out this was a chunk of what kpop was about, this culture of picking sides, it was the most immature bunch of nonsense I've ever seen. I've never understood it and I've always seen it as a gateway to toxicity. Anytime I talk to an ARMY privately as friends they want to know who my bias is before they know anything else, as if that would tell them all they needed to know. There was a time when I almost wouldn't talk to this one ARMY because she had taekook in her @ (can you imagine the stupidity of that philosophy) when come to find out she was very sweet and actually wasn't even a shipper. There was a member who introduced me to the group and he has a special place as my recruitment fairy, but do you guys even know what the meaning of the word bias means?
Here, I'll just:
You know, the word bias gets thrown around pretty easily and it's really not that positive.
.
I love bangtan. I like them as people, their music, and they came into my life when I needed a life preserver. I don't know what I would be doing right now if I didn't have bangtan content. But what comes with stanning them is a lot of bullshit. And that sucks.
The whole bias culture, the culture of calling people solo stans the minute the speak up about a member, antis when they bring up hate a different member faces and that no, it's not all skewed to one person in bangtan, this culture of clapping back with fancams on Twitter to be 'sassy' and to look cool 'win', this culture of posting a solo song and saying "stream x for clear skin and good grades" to 'win' or provoke someone else: I wonder if any fandom is better than that, I doubt it.
This music video is so sweet! All of the members helping Jungkook and making him a part of the group is really heartwarming. And the mambas line was especially cute. :”)
Love the music as well~ especially the ending! The rap line all lowkey sang as well, and I’m here for it. ✊
JUST HOW CAN THIS CLUMSY MOCHI BE ABLE TO DANCE WITH SUCH PRECISION ON STAGE YET STUMBLE ON AIR IRL | Cr twt jimintical
“first, there’s really nothing I can do for you“ ⁽ᵒᵘᵗ ᵒᶠ ᶜᵒⁿᵗᵉˣᵗ ᴿᵁᴺ ⁶⁴⁾
Wow, Heartbeat is amazing.
I loved how we got to see two different sides to each member, one as an idol and one as a person. It was really cool to see how they began to mesh together as the music video progressed.
The cinematography and CG was really well down too! The MV was strung together so nicely. I loved the galaxy and night themed scenes so much, oml. xD
The lyrics were beautiful like always, and the song itself was really pretty. ✨ Such a nice song ahhh! 💜
I’m lowkey highkey crying. :”)

I’m sorry Yoongs, that wasn’t for you 😂
i think i tasted that tea (tr.)
The few snippets we got of the song sound amazing already!
I’m waiting for the theories! 😂 I noticed a couple of things from this teaser that could be hinting towards something greater...
Not to mention— all the members look AMAZING 👀
It’s been some time since we have gotten a Japanese comeback! Ahh I’m so excited! xD

Jimin’s log 180413 & my tears.
‘For the first time since becoming an adult, debut, and after debuting, I became curious about myself, came to have more thoughts. And as I went through this, I felt quite often that I was lonely. ‘
‘I’m not really the type to lean on one’s shoulders, nor do I know how to do it well, and that I’m worse at leaning on than listening to. The only people I believed I could confide in were going through a hard time as well so it was a situation where I wasn’t sure what to do.’
‘ When we came back to Korea, I looked up a lot of OUR videos. Our music, our music videos, our performance videos, our photos. And while looking through these, I came to a video of us performing YOUNG FOREVER. We were performing this song at a concert. But the video wasn’t of US performing, it had captured the scene of our fans, singing the song. At that time, we weren’t singing and only the fans were. It kind of felt as if…something hit me hard on the head. I had the thought: “WHY was I forgetting this!?”. Then, with this thought, I wanted to comeback sooner, do our concerts, meet, see, and be together with the fans in one place, sing together. I had these thoughts a lot.’
Excuse me while I sob.
Do y’all realise how hard it is to make a log about your suffering and having the courage to post it when he knows how his words are always taken out of proportion and messed with. Knowing how the internet hasn’t left one aspect of his personality that they haven’t shamed? He still posted this talking not just about how he was struggling but of how they all were struggling as a team and the reason he couldn’t lean on his brothers was because he knew that they were in crises too. Honestly, If that ain’t the most Jimin thing Jimin has ever said.
He is the one who listens to everyone’s concerns to the point where all the members have said, time and time again that Jimin is the member they need the most to share their anxieties with. Y’all love to portray Jimin as some damsel in distress who needs protecting but y’all forget just how fucking strong this man is emotionally. He doesn’t only shoulder everyone in Bangtan; he does that while shouldering his own suffering too and if that doesn’t make you respect him, I don’t think I have anymore to say to you.
The fact that we, as armys solved his existential crises for however small a period of time it was; I’m honestly fucking flattered. The fact that watching OUR videos made him say “They’re my reason.” All this time when some armys were busy hating every aspect of his existence, he took ours and made it his own.
I just really fucking adore how this man smiles in the face of adversity and says with his whole chest, nevermind.
From being the trainee with the shortest training period and still landing main dancer and lead vocalist, To people body shaming him only to get blood sweat and tears thrown into their faces. To people questioning his dancing only for him to be recognized as main dancer by the Korean president. To Jimin being the least popular member to literally winning the most loved idol in South Korea 18′ ; He has proven every single time that his anxieties and his flaws maybe a part of him but it’s not something that’ll ever, ever stop him for winning at life.
I’ve said this time and time again and I’ll say this today too; Park Jimin is one strong motherfucker, inside out. Don’t mistake his sensitivity for being weak; He’ll deck you while he’s crying bitch.
Honestly though, I couldn’t be any more prouder of this boy than I am today. This is Park Jimin y’all; This dude right here, set out to make a song about his suffering and pain and eventually turned it into a promise of how that same suffering and pain will never get the best of him.
Fuck this, I’m in love.
