This is for the people who think just sending good vibes and looking at their faces is enough to call it love and support. Truly supporting the guys means streaming their music in a way that counts on the charts, voting when needed, and buying their music when possible. It’s not complicated—if you love them, show it in ways that actually make an impact. It’s honestly frustrating that it’s come to the point where Hobi had to spell this out for some people. They deserve better than empty words and passive admiration.
--- Hobi's in his own words ---
"This is actually something that's been on my mind for a while. Of course, no artist would ever be unhappy to achieve a high chart ranking, right? But I used this kind of as a shield and to console myself. Like, I'd tell myself, I was just making music that I wanted to make without thinking about the charts, but in a way, that was just me trying to make myself feel better.
Anyone would be overjoyed to see their music enter the charts. And this time, I'm just going to actually say it. This time, I'm releasing music to achieve a certain goal. I know things still might not work out even after all these goals I've set, but I won't be disappointed. I'll just feel a little sad. That's all and I can keep that sadness to myself. All that matters is that the people who love me, love my music. I hope it goes well.
Hoseok types: "If I were to make music what kind of music would you all want me to make?"
An ARMY's response which Hobi reads aloud: "The best music is the music you want to make, Hoseok"
