The way Jimin Solos and Jungkook Solos are behaving over the voting for AYS is exactly why I find it so difficult to tolerate Solos as a whole. It’s not just tiring—it’s completely disheartening to witness the same self-serving behaviour repeated time and time again when it comes to Jimin and Jungkook together. They always seem to twist every situation to fit their own agenda, completely disregarding the bigger picture or the intentions behind what Jimin and Jungkook have chosen to share with us. Instead of taking a moment to appreciate the effort, thought, and heart these two put into their work, Solos turn it into yet another battleground to push their narratives.
I can understand that not everyone is going to love AYS. People are entitled to their opinions, and it’s fine if the show wasn’t your cup of tea. We all have different tastes, and that’s normal. But there’s a huge difference between simply not enjoying something and outright disrespecting Jimin and Jungkook for it. Insulting and dismissing something they wanted to do for their fans, something they made time for despite all their other commitments, and, more importantly, insulting something they were genuinely so happy to do—is crossing a line.
They wanted to give their fans a glimpse into their dynamic, their friendship, and a side of their relationship we rarely get to see. For them to share something so happy and honest, only for it to be picked apart and dismissed by people who claim to ‘support’ them, is just… sad.
This kind of behaviour only reinforces why I’ll never understand or respect people who act this way but claim to be their fans. Instead of celebrating what Jimin and Jungkook worked so hard on, these people find every excuse to tear it down, nitpicking the details or dismissing it outright because it doesn’t align with their version of events. It’s not only petty and ungrateful—it’s embarrassing.
Jimin and Jungkook didn’t owe us AYS. They didn’t owe us their time. They chose to share this with us out of love for their fans, and instead of seeing it for what it is—a gift, a moment of connection—some people have decided to treat it like a platform for division and negativity. It’s frustrating, it’s disappointing, and it’s exactly why I’ve never been able to take Solos seriously. At the end of the day, they’re not here to support Jimin or Jungkook as individuals—they’re here to serve their own egos and agendas.
For me, this goes beyond AYS. It’s a pattern of behaviour that rears its ugly head every time Jimin or Jungkook do something that doesn’t fit the narrow narratives Solos want to believe in or not, every time they do something TOGETHER. It’s exhausting to see people who claim to be fans constantly undermine and disrespect the very people they’re supposed to support. If you truly cared about Jimin and Jungkook, you’d respect their choices, celebrate their efforts, and appreciate what they’ve shared with us. But clearly, for some, that’s asking too much.
