OMG! JK's new album is named "Golden" I hope he has at least one heartfelt ballad like his covers

I don't see this anywhere else and you can't reply to ask about it so take this with a giant grain of salt

That's clever but I don't think I'd want to be traumatized every time I want a nap. That makes sense since they're vague enough that a lot of us had to google them to know what they mean. But yeah, ironic since the latter is the reason the majority of objectors are against the song. The only definition of "champagne confetti" I saw that wasn't explicit was interpretations of the song by Army, who I suspect either didn't do the research or were trying to make it more palatable to those who would likely object But there's no doubt in my mind, considering that the song is about a reformed "F*#k boy and the " lyrics also refer to "playing with yourself on camera" that the intended meaning is the female orgasm, which in itself is a watered down definition As for ABG, everything I've read and heard from another Korean American is that it's merely a descriptor of a specific subset of people and not necessarily insulting. While I did initially feel a sense of "ick" about it, I think that was more an emotional response to a lifetime of being a disregarded part of society than a logical one. It's no different than saying WAG, BAP, WASP, etc. If you're against these types of terms in general, I understand and sympathize with the offense. But if you're ok with any of these and especially if you use the very common "Karen", which is not only arguably racist and misogynistic but undoubtedly derogatory, I don't see why ABG would be offensive. And for "whoring", Jack's referring to the behavior of the "F__k boy" in the song, not the women btw, Seven is more graphic than most people realize btw, Jack might be a 1 dimensional talent with juvenile, crude lyrics, but I do think this is cute - JK getting a taste of his own medicine

Finally some radio play! I hope Scooter can get this done for the group come back as well. This is why I fully support every release no matter how I feel about the collaborator - the more success each member has, the more likely they can finally break through on every front.

I agree. He's been expressing a desire to be treated like an adult for at least 5 years. He's never particularly liked being called cute and he didn't like being called bunny in his early days, though obviously he's learned to lean into it, and he wanted to bulk up long before the company allowed him to. He can't escape people thinking he's cute as long as he has those eyes and that smile, but I think a large part of the reason that he appeals to the masses is that combination of cute and sexy.

This is incredible! The other 3 are "Easy on Me" and "Hello" by Adele and "Lalisa" by Lisa. For some reason I thought all global superstars achieved this but there's no Taylor, Beyonce, Miley, Drake, etc. And the fandom is speaking with their Spotify listens. The main version of "3D" is third on the Spotify list for the 1st 2 days, but the alternate version was 38th on the 1st day and 83rd on the 2nd day. For some reason kworb is combining the counts for 3D on the 1st version - I've never seen them do that before. But combined, 3D would have been 1st both days. Bummer for me - I would have liked to have seen JK get #1 on Global 200 again. Seven is also seeing a push in streams but we're falling just short from 1st. https://kworb.net/spotify/country/global_daily.html I empathize with everyone who is offended by the lyrics, but I stream the 1st version just because it's the one more likely to chart and I see supporting the individual members as supporting the group. I thought about it, and after analyzing them, I don't think I'm offended by the lyrics, but I'm really offended by the double standards in America toward race relations - Jack wouldn't get away with this if he were talking about black women, whether it were actually racist or not.

Looking forward to the Spotify charts tomorrow. I know it's too early to judge, but feeling good about this song for the Hot 100 and I think it'll push Seven higher again as well The MV is already 3rd on most viewed videos in the last 24 hours after only 5 hours. And it looks like Jack has been following random Army. Someone said that he even DM'd her

I was thinking it reminded of Justin T as well. Which is unfortunate because I always got the impression that JT is a giant douche. I don't like that he felt a need to publicly talk about how he and Britney had sex when they were dating or that he let Janet completely take the fall for the Super Bowl nipple gate. JK's dancer bragging about getting to grab JK's boob

Part of me wishes I didn't jump down this rabbit hole. I enjoyed the song until I really looked at the details. I am concerned about how he's going to perform this song. With 7, Latto was a small enough part that her absence didn't hugely impact the song. But with this, JK and Jack are more like partners. JK's part doesn't have a lot of nuance to it so not sure how well it'll stand on its own. Not sure if this is Twitter Army is that gutter brained or if this was the intent of the move

yikes. I wonder how it's going to affect the streams. The song seems American audience friendly. Just watched the video with subtitles and some of the lyrics are pretty cringe. That was fast. I should keep track of how quickly everything reaches #1 on different charts. I wonder if we're going to get 20 different versions of this song too

What the heck! Why didn't it show up for me? That's my one small nitpick of the song as well. I'd like the last 30 seconds or so to be a bit different. But overall, I think it's fun, catchy, and JK looks smokin hot! I was concerned when I watched 3 different videos of Jack Harlow rapping and he sounded the same in all of them - and frankly, he sounds pretty similar here too - but the contrast with JK's vocals sounds great together ETA: I was bummed out when I went to karaoke and there wasn't a single BTS song. My local karaoke DJ will play a song even if it's not in her catalog, but then you really have to know it but I thought it might be too hard with songs being in Korean. I think Butter and Dynamite might be too difficult with so many different vocals + rap. I might be able to learn this one and I think it would be a good crowd pleaser but pretty sure I'll look ridiculous trying to rap

I'm confused. Isn't there a music video for 3D? I had serious doubts about the song after listening to a few Jack Harlow songs but I like this one. Turns out Seven is a bit of an ear worm - I like it more after hearing it for a while.

Ye Jimin-ah! Had Japchae, Butter chicken & beef curry with Naan, and a Kinder Bueno bar I keep meaning to make Kimbap but I wish you could make it ahead of time without getting soggy seaweed and dry rice. CK hit the jackpot with JK. I hope they paid him well for this campaign. ETA: I keep forgetting to buy some stock in whatever the Tannies represent - by the time I'd hear of it, it would still be too late to get the full impact but as long as you're able to buy some before it peaks, you should make a good profit. Imagine if we bought CK stock when it was in the red - would have paid for those concert tickets and more And a Rolling Stone article about RM's musical impact Just thought this was funny. I love how Joon goes from cutting this noble presence to being a giant dork

I wonder if other idols are in their official training videos I know it's just Twitter being Twitter but so funny how it isolates his crotch.

I love Suga's dry sense of humor. Nothing surprising, but a tidbit about Jin's personality

The first pic is freakin adorable. That face does not belong on that body

One more way that BTS has made the world better. role models for the younger generation passing on the kindness to the even younger generation.

But ramen is so much tastier on the stovetop. The noodles get so much springier and there's more options for mix ins. I tried one of those microwave ramen cookers but it's still not the same.

Joon looks so hot in pink! Sorry Jin, but I think you need to swap colors. I never doubted their commitment to each other either. Even during Festa, I never heard anything that made me think that they were disbanding and never understood why so many others did. Off topic but how cute is this. Nice to see more social evolution in Asia Also off topic. If this is true, then we may as well drop YG from "The Big 4" and go back to "The Big 3" agencies. This is the last big asset they have left.

I just saw this on my Timeline and came right here This is really smart of them. With all of JK's success, there's been a lot of speculation that they might disband and this will shut those naysayers up and prevent stock prices from dropping. ETA 2: just saw this snippet about 2018 contract renewal ah well. Sending virtual hugs. If we ever do that tour of Korea together, we'll have to add this to this list of sites. ETA: lol. Someone in the comments asked why his toes are so long. I never noticed before but - dang! If he has Jin's toe dexterity, imagine what he could do with those

Just thought of another silver lining. He gets to see his beloved Holly and mystery cat every day btw, did you ladies know that V has 2 other dogs and a cat? I'm guessing these are his parents' pets? https://www.sportskeeda.com/pop-culture/bts-members-super-adorable-pets Huh. I haven't had any issues with my Pandora. Maybe they're primarily targeting non-premium accounts?

I think it's gone by so quickly because the guys have put so much care into the planning. We've been busier during their solo events than when they were together. Army are worried about 2025, but they clearly put a lot of thought into making this transition easier and keep the momentum rolling. It's the first 6 month of 2024 that we're going to really be feeling the void. I do wonder what's tougher for the guys - 18 months of regular service or 21 months of alternative service. with the alternative service, they can have a relatively normal life and do a lot of their normal activities, but it's a longer time without getting to perform. At least Yoongi gets enough time to do his lifelong passion And Jin's been such a good hyung And Knetz and Jnetz have taken notice of how thoughtful Jin has been of his fans

I just saw that about the "Testicle friends". I love that expression - unfortunately I don't have anyone that I can throw that term around on. That silver platinum hair looks great on Tae but what the heck? He said he didn't want to bleach his hair for the blue (which doesn't require it to be that light) but then he goes silver? I tried to get that color but finally gave up because I bleached my hair to the point that it was breaking and there were still patches that were too dark - ended up going to a silver blue Seems like Hybe has a few of bunnies. With JK it makes total sense - between his cute face and big front teeth (poor guy tries so hard to distance himself from the cute image but he has to be one of the cutest idols ever - no amount of tattoos, muscles, or piercings is going to cover that up). And I just assumed Soobin was a bunny because he's so dang adorable. I love that BTS have been such warm Sunbaenims. It seems the majority of people lash out and become bullies themselves when they're bullied but our guys grew and made a better world for those that followed them I'm conflicted about RM's Dazed cover. That sweater is so cool looking and it makes him look enormous, but I always think it's a shame to cover up his famously incredible proportions

This whole thread is hilarious ETA: Look at Baby Bam!
