I am not in the fandom. never was and never will be. but i know about bts for almost 7 yrs now. and it made me really like them. i always anticipated their run bts every tuesday. when their highly anticipated world tour got cancelled, their dynamite single actually helped them a lot. but i was expecting that it would stop there but i'll bet that their company made them to continue hence the release of ptd and butter (at least, butter gave them the win at ama). they needed their rest and we got the reason with the festa dinner (though not all that they can tell. pretty sure they can't shit on their company because of contracts. need to keep the we are family bs).
then chapter 2 happened and what an eye opener it was. it made me see that the rapline will always have a certain status in their company granted that they are the backbone of the group. the promotions that they've got especially suga got to do concerts etc. but i wonder about namjoon. to me, he got the least of the promotions (probably how he wanted it to happen) and the fandom never really cared about him. joon likes charts. no one can't tell me that he doesn't. every member of bts does. but his solo work got an abysmal support.
now onto the maknae line, i couldn't even begin with all the fiasco that jimin got and one he's still getting. everything that could go wrong went wrong and it is disturbing how all of those can be prevented by the company. one thing i am really convinced is that the company does not want him to be above others - especially jk. they are keeping him within the confines of the brand that is bts. comparing the articles that bighit put out regarding the platinum certification, they made sure that BTS is connected to Jimin's name. But it is different with JK. the brand of BTS is not there. I mean, they made him a brand of his own so there is clearly an agenda by the company led by Bang PD and that devil that they let in their house. Even the article about his MAMA win is still not being released but JK's one with MMA, it was posted right away. so yeah.
With V, i am actually glad that he went to Min Heejin to produce his album and yes, you are correct that those songs are his forte. Despite the dismal support of the company and the fandom to his debut, he actually did pretty well. With his all english album, i was surprised that he did not go to Jimmy Fallon. I was actually expecting him to be there to promote. but well, it is what it is.
Now for JK, where do i even start? with SB and Bang PD at the helm, with all the fandom backing him, of course they did not hesitate to give him their all. With everything that he got, it still fell short because they failed to get the crown glory - The Grammy's. I feel sorry for him to be honest because no matter how the fandom (which literally became his solo fandom) say that he's the best amongst the members, his achievements are nothing but a project of SB. JK has so much potential on his own but well, this is how his solo era happened.
I also noticed that the company seems to be gearing to get JK and New Jeans as their future. BTS as big as they are, will eventually decline. The reunion on 2025 will speak for itself.
As for their military service, somehow i am relieved that they will get to experience being away from their endless work as an artist. change will happen. may it serve them well in the future.
lastly, i am looking forward to Jin's career once he gets back.
very sorry that my thoughts are long and quite all over the place but it is nice to post asks for those that sees what is going on with BTS.
It's fine. No need to apologize, I like to hear people's thoughts on whats happening. I also believe they should've gotten a break earlier and I feel like it was when the did that festa live. People were panicking, the stocks started dropping and bighit halted that break shit really quickly because rumors were that were splitting up at that time (dont know how true that is).
Let me tell you, I have never seen a more catastrophic debut. And even with all the blocking that bighit and scooteer did (i said what i said) he still came out with so many accomplishments like??? This man is a fighter. From bighit praising a racist white man and calling jimins hot 100 debut "barely a breakthrough" was SICKENING. And the way people forgot that? Trifling. Spotify, geffen, melon, billboard...you would think they got personal beef with him. And imma say this right now. Jimin achieved all of this because scooter didnt expect it to try and stop it. But everything afterwards? Was all him, cant nobody tell me shit. That man has ties to all the major media platforms and you want me to believe that he wasn't trying to block tae and jimin from the charts? Ha. Funny.
Their whole plan is to separate bts and jungkook and they've been succeeding. They want to prove that "hey, they're nothing without bts but that's not the same for jungkook." This why I have so many doubts of this 2025 reunion because what does one think might happen after they've separated him from the group name so much? A mess. While im saying all of this, I do hope they dont trap him in a contract. I do hope they dont use it against him because right now he's just going along with everything right now which is worrying but at the same time idk. He might be cool with this type of thing.
It might even be a case where the guys have different thoughts after this long break. Time away makes you think differently about things. Namjoon seems exhausted and in a totally new headspace. He's mostly being producing and just staying behind the scenes i fee like. He's probably the one dealing with stuff for 2025 (prerecorded ones). Tae has always wanted to go more in fashion and who knows of the rest. We'll see.
The bts rapline was always pushed as the foundation of bts, of everything. When did that change?
Jin is a wild card for me. He's this spot that needs to be filled. And Im thinking that maybe, just maybe him being away is why everything is collapsing. Random thought.
Isnt it weird...how the one that started it all is the one that is mostly forgotten? Namjoon deserves his flowers.

Bang Si Hyuk gave me a knowing smile, only causing my annoyance to grow. "You don't have to like me. Just...sign here, and here."
