NJ is mean, plain and simple. I feel bad for her too. You get to do that thing with an idol you like and it turns out to be really awful. Granted, any time we choose to have sex with someone there's a chance it won't be good, especially a ONS, but we don't deserve to have an abusive experience.

HS not being "happy" didn't really shock me, necessarily, but it wasn't what I expected. And that's good, really good. It does show what he's keeping inside and if anything, letting it out was healthy for him. Aside from maybe NJ, I don't think the other members wanted what they got with joining BH. They're often careful about what they say or allude to, because they've been coached to be careful, or worse warned and punished for saying the wrong things. Despite that, Jin pretty much says whatever he wants, he even called out his own bandmates in an interview about the BE album because all his input for the album was rejected. He didn't specifically identify which band member it was, but I think we all know who it was.

YG has a also been super vocal over the years and hinted at a lot of internal problems. In general he's verbally unhinged. He's diplomatic in public most of the time, and wise, but this is the same guy who bitched at an American interviewer in Korean over a dating question (which NJ translated as "He says he's single", lol). He's also been open about their almost disbandment in 2015, and has even called out @rmy for their nonsense belief that BT5 were barely having any success and didn't get many opportunities early on. YG was like, "We were doing well but we weren't seeing the success we had hoped for". He is also the only member who's been open about his sexuality, and I seriously think the label told him to say that it was a mistranslation just to make discussions about it fizzle out. I get it, SK is stupid about homosexuality and coming out is dangerous but it sucks to be in a position where you are forced to lie about who you are, especially after being so honest. It makes him look bad without it being his fault.

Speaking of coming out, what are your thoughts on the bi colors during HS's performance of Equal Sign? I was surprised but also really happy to see it. I had always thought he was gay instead of bi. I've never gotten vibes from him that he's attracted to women, but during that performance he was definitely flirting with the female dancers.
JH always seemed straight to me or bisexual. He flirted with an army and gave her a letter at a fanmeet. If he's coming out, that's very brave because Korea is brutal to LGBT people. Idols are trained to queerbait, so I'm curious about what he says next. Only someone as famous as btees could come out and have a career.

She didn't deserve that, no one does. Most fans won't get a chance to meet their idols and she was living the dream, but it was a nightmare. After a scandal over lyrics, he said that a woman helps him write his lyrics. She's a professor and a feminist. I think being the leader got to him, and any abuse he experienced is now directed outward to unsuspecting women.

Who did Sg say that to? I remember Ellen asking btees and Superm if they're dating or talk to fans in the case of btees. A lot of male idols talk to fans and even sasaengs. They're relying on them for votes, high res pictures, gifts, free publicity, and sex. A group had a controversy because a member said that sasaengs are good for oral sex. There's a lot of rumors about idols sleeping with their sasaengs or fans. Pretty women will catch their eye and have a chance to meet or sleep with the idol. Especially if they're international and the guy knows that it won't get back home. Many Korean guys are obsessed with White and sometimes Black women. It's new, and the language barrier means she can't speak to the media in their country.

He's definitely done with btees. I'm not sure what to think about him because of the Jim Jones scandal. A lot of idols are racist or sexist, but he's quiet.

HS definitely runs the show. He chose the group's name even. It's hilarious to me the way @rmy don't realize he's the one in charge.

BT5 friendships are weird. This basically is how it looks right now based on what I've been told by other people (I have no hard evidence and this is all alleged):

Friendships -
  • Jin & YG. They are actually the closest. Only ones who spend time together out of ALL the group members.
Close as bandmates -
  • HS & YG. As bandmates, they are all over each other. Outside of BT5 activities they have nothing to do with each other though :(
  • HS & JM. They are around each other a lot, and it's more genuine than the fanservice.
  • JM & NJ. JM worships NJ. NJ can do no wrong and NJ lets JM do anything.
  • JK & YG. Yoonk00k have a nice work-friendship between them. They do contact each other occasionally outside of work.
  • Tae has zero friendships with anyone in the group. JM hates this, NJ tries to steer Tae away from having his own friends. The other guys don't care.
  • JM and NJ are also bullies. NJ is the worst but JM can be pretty nasty too. (To clarify, they team up on other members a lot).
  • YG & NJ. It's weird that these two have a close working relationship, but they do. Highly unexpected since they are total opposites in personality. They're just very compatible artistically which is why they collaborate. I have heard though that YG keeps NJ close so that he doesn't have issues with the company.
And here is what Jin apparently thinks of his bandmates. This is to be taken with a grain of salt, although the multiple sources I've talked to all say about the same thing with minor variations in wording. That could be a bunch of people all getting info from one person, or it's could be true, who knows. Jin also gets easily annoyed so there's that to consider.
  • He likes being around YG cause he's easy to get along with.
  • He thinks NJ is stupid and annoying.
  • He tolerates Tae but can't be around him for too long without getting annoyed.
  • He worries about JM a lot. He keeps a distance from him emotionally cause JM is too high maintenance.
  • He likes HS but they do argue on rare occasions and have to take breaks from each other.
  • He spends time with JK for livestreams because their senses of humor are compatible.
  • He used to hang out with the whole maknae line a lot but he doesn't have the energy for them anymore.
Being the oldest, Jn is in a different place in life now. He's at the age people settle down or have settled in with someone special and start a family. The maknaes are in their 20s and that's when most people play the field or have casual relationships. There's people looking to settle down too, but not as much nowadays. He didn't have much in common with the people at Jh's party and sat by himself.

This sounds the most believable out of the information I've heard. I wonder why Rm is so close to Jm and lets him get away with things. He's also Supreme Boy's favorite too.

Tae looked outside the group for validation because they talk to him like he's not intelligent. He's on of the smartest people in the group. Because he doesn't speak like he's a college graduate, they mock and laugh at him. I saw a TV host make fun of his accent and it probably hurt his feelings. Now he's proven to them many times that he has a lot of connections outside the group. He doesn't have to do anything but exist and everyone loses their minds. Why do Jm or Rm care who he hangs around with?

In general I'm fine with him going solo and his performance at Lolla was great. I do kind of but not really wonder why, out of all the band members, HS was the one selected to go to Lolla. At first I thought it was because someone in charge had to be a HS stan, because despite him being the richest member and his first mixtape being the most lucrative, he's not the most popular.
He's the one who's had the most solo work released out of all the members + he's like the only charismatic performer in the group. Dgaf about him as an artist but he did command the stage very well all alone at Lolla. He looks ambitious as well, so maybe he made a lot of connections behind the scenes taking advantage of his low key persona. He seems like he might go far internationally outside bts along with jjk. Not bts level fame though

Oh 100% his real personality came out. HS's lyricism with this album has been praised significantly, FOR A REASON. He's a way better writer than any of the guys in the band.

His music isn't my taste, as well, but I watched Lolla. I adored his moments with Becky, it was fricking precious. Those two have such a genuine friendship. People who know him, respect him.

HS's verses in every song sound amazing. It's his voice. That tone is very specific and you notice it immediately. (The same can be said about YG, especially when he starts growling or gets hyped up and starts squealing, lol). HS's delivery is just out of this world. And he wasn't a rapper before he joined Hive.

I think Hive were also using his album as the digital album experiment. You're right that they lose nothing with him. In fact, if HS left BT5 I don't think Hive would even care. (The same could probably be said about Jin, cause Hive and the RM never let Jin do anything).

I'm looking forward to your thoughts about the article!
Seems to me that jh suggested the hiatus, along with alphabet boy

That happens a lot in the industry. The company decides on a persona for each member. Take 2NE1 for example, CL was the fashion queen, Bom the visual, Dara was the "innocent one", Minzy the tomboy. CL has rolled with that persona her whole career, and like, you go honey. Took it and made it her own. Dara was far from innocent and Bom seems to have been fine with her stage persona. Minzy as a tomboy was stupid cause she's actually ultra feminine. Anyway my point is that HS was never a rapper to start with, and he became a pop-rapper to suit the band. HS is cool, but again, he's not a traditional hip hop artist. This is why his music isn't my taste, because I don't listen to pop music.
yes i know that they are acting a part ..

YG said that during a radio interview. I don't know off the top of my head which one. I'll have to do a deep search to find it.

My thoughts about YG and the JJ "scandal" are that it was blown wildly out of proportion. All he was doing was comparing certain kinds of rappers to cultists cause their behavior can be very similar. That went over people's heads because he's a hip hop artist, not a pop singer and many BTS fans aren't educated about hip hop. People didn't attempt to get educated either and instead tore into him and anyone who supported him. I remember one teen on Twitter getting mass reported because they explained what I'm talking about here.

I think YG is done being an idol. He never was one to begin with. It's not who he is as a person or as an artist. I feel bad for him that he's stuck in BT5.

Thank you for sharing such great tea!

I doubt BT5 fans will care about HS dating anyone, other than maybe his hardcore stans and sasaengs.

Irene. Wow. Just wow. Good for him. Good for her. I'd imagine they have a good relationship.

I don't mind her being older than him. It's not a dramatic age gap. Jin did the same thing with that comedian Lee Gukj00 and people didn't really seem to care about their age gap.

Yeah no one really cared if jh or NJ date

Yn and jn they would care somewhat but it's those three youngest who the fans will lose it over them dating

Why is jm the only one with baby rumors? It's always him so where there is smoke there is fire
It's kind of suspicious that it's never any of the other six members with these baby rumors...

i really think he's bi, but flirting with female dancers while your supposed gf was at the concert , wow

Agreed, Jin is gonna be hella successful. I think he likes his bandmates in certain context. He jokes around with JK, and he'll be friendly on stage with the maknae line. Jin and YG do spend time together outside of BT5 activities. YG is probably the only member Jin has a friendship with. Otherwise, Jin tolerates everyone else.

Yeah, HS wrote his own stuff. The music video for Arson creeps me out. But I also found it pretentious, especially the ending with him laying inside the word arson. It was too much.

NJ has apparently hooked up with fans. There's a girl who said several years ago that she slept with him and he was verbally abusive. Every time she moaned or made any noise he'd tell her to shut up. Given that he's a misogynist, that's unsurprising.

I wanna know what B@ng did to make these guys fear him.
HS is very talented. No doubt. Cannot believe that people slept on his talent. I think that out of the seven, only 3 will be successful to certain degrees - JIN, SUGA and HS

Regarding NJ, I think he is too evil and compared to past, he has learnt to hide his dark and disgusting personality better. But, even now I think, his old habits have not died...that why even his band mates have to be in hiatus. Maybe he said some harsh words behind their backs and they found out.. and made plans to get away from him.. what do you think ?

this thread became a Hope, JN and YG fanpage

to me JN has no talent whatsoever and Sugar JJ scandal was not an overrreaction, showed his true colors

People here think RM is so evil and Hope so innocent and talented
Hope compared himself to a god several times, nothing innocent or humble about that dude

but whatever....it doesnt matter how many pagees we write
its obvious some people here still love these guys.

Same here -_-, fr i dont really get it, 1st thing 1st, he's not that talented, less than average, what he does is the bare minimum, for someone who's been performing on stage, in front of cameras, for many years.
Also his so called "real self" is much more worse than his fake ass persona, cuz what he's promoting is be OK with ur sick desires, them writing their own lyrics, ow come on guys, you fr?!? Ya'll think they sit and write their shit, its rare when an idol, celebrity in general to do so, cuz the song need to promte sum sick shit in order to be released.
No matter how much talented they are, they're going hand in hand with the elites, its not something to be praised for.
