He trended on twitter but was overshadowed by Tr6mp coming back to the platform and other stuff. I think armyyys are over btees. They're not voting as much and there's a real chance strays will beat them at the mamas. It's 2017, but this time they lose most of the awards.
As a former fan, it makes me sad to see them go down like this. They could've stopped during the pandemic, served, and then been free for solos. Their legacy, love or hate them, has been huge. I watched a documentary that showed their impact on kpop is so huge, the top ten groups under them don't come close to the same numbers. Sg isn't that popular, but he has more impact as a soloist than his juniors t×t.
Yes most of it is people streaming on several devices, but armyys actually listen to their music at the same level as they watch the videos. Who listens to most kpop songs? We've seen fans get angry when other idols don't listen to their faves. Kpop fans stream the videos, but the music doesn't get the same views as the music video.
I'm also sad to see them putting more and more symbolism in their music. We talk about the industry a lot, and it's awful what they've endured, but as adults they could've left a long time ago.
i think most people who watched dont even know who he is
besides Where I live the world cup is a pretty big event, but I don't think it's big enough in US or Korea (basically where most of BT5 fans are)
so the audience for this event are not really into kpop or care about it

There's so many Arab armyys, but not too sure about Qatar. A lot of them pass along sasaeng info. Eastern European fans too.

Bruh i laughted my ass off at this, so accurate, like @minnie82 said and others way before this world cup, Jeon has no stage presence like at all, he still gets too nervous cuz simply although he wanna grow famous and take all the cake out of the other's mouth, but still afraid of doing it all by himself call it trauma bonding or whatever, (the arabian guy had more stage presence than him and acted more casualy, has a good voice too), jeon still cnt perform on his own, not to forget that he isnt that talented and has an average voice nd dancing, he dont have the charisma mpst of all, and he knows it which makes the deal even worse for him. Plus lately he's always on drugs, doing some weird ass shit that screaams im highest in the room not in position but as a junkie.
V is an attention whore for sure and acts like it, Jeon on the other hand is no different, its just that his cute little persona makes it hard for most people to pay much attention to it.
Jeon lost his looks, is an alcoholic, consume aloot of drugs, has a very nasty personality behind close doors and the elites like many others hold alot of crap on his ass, which make him an easy bite, being smart and acting like one is two different things he should' ve known that, now he can do nothing.
do what was asked from him, and sacrifice more crap to try and reach the top, before going down like many others before him. (Sorry for the long post)

Yeah all of them tbh, in korea visitng shamans, fortune tellers isnt concidered a bad thing, its concidered part of their culture, now when it comes to alot of business men, idols/actors, politicians, they do the same, do rituals sacrifices, big sacrifice events in plain sight like the (crush thing in halloween, and the sinking of MV sewol in 2014) the b*s memebers are no different, sleeping around with old men/women will never helpp them reach certain positions, being part of prostitution rings, drug trafficking, human trafficking wont do it too, so doing rituals, getting help from demons, spirits or whatever yall call them, will. The more morals they're willing to give the more wealth, famousy, and money they'll get in return.
I know that ,i was ironic eh eh army would kill the girl,also the reason they didn't put girls in mv anymore
I'm just fairly new to the idea of sponsors and tbf jin always seemed one of the more "decent" idols. So I'm just wondering what do you mean?

The K-pop industry systematically abuses artists from the time they are trainees. Executives, managers, and other high-profile business people as well as celebrities exploit and abuse K-pop idols physically, financially, sexually and spiritually. The “I will scratch your back if you scratch mine“ System of quid pro quo is rampant. Money, influence, information, whatever, is promised in exchange for the “use” of an idol or idols. Sometimes it’s once, sometimes it is ongoing. When this happens repeatedly, the victim begins to disassociate, or worse, become attracted to and perpetuate the same type of behavior. It is one of the worst type of Faustian bargains. Basically the entire self is given over to the company, in exchange for success fame and money. I was crushed when I found this out. It disgusts me and angers me, and saddens me so much for the people that are lost to this system.
to you too, even if in my country we don't celebrate

Yeah, b0ra did that.
Supposedly Jn didn't want that article posted but like, why write it then? I don't believe for a second that it was shared without his permission.
not just them , but idols in generals are more privileged in the military than regular guys

They most certainly do. Example: When GD was in the military and got sick, he got his own special recovery room. People have tried to argue that he got that special room because they didn't want him to be bombarded with visitors and therefore unable to recover, but I highly doubt that would have actually happened.
