As far as the isolation goes, this is necessary to protect oneself and the rest of people by not having contact with others in general.The fact that he is not spending time with the other members during this period of corona I don't find it particularly strange. Symptoms occur after approx 14 days. You could be infected and not know about it, which is why avoiding contact with others saves lives.
Out of all bts members, I see Taehyung as someone who wouldn't have the courage to even switch the side of a hair strand other than the stylist put it.
I don't even know what to say about the rumors, there was absolutely no evidence provided by those journalists, at least not according to my knowledge.I remember seeing the news last year and ignoring it because they didn't provided one single proof and it made me wonder as to whether this was some sort of fake news to engage the fans, or scare them. The same TV station will broadcast for the next weeks episodes from their movie (just saw it on the news).
For the past year or so, one of the things I have noticed is that everytime he says something in the camera, he immediately looks to the person behind the camera, as approval, or confirmation to boost up his ego. He is in desperate pathological need for affirmation, confirmation, positive reaction for any stupid thing, gimmick, fake laugh he might put on.
His erratical behavior could be justified (the naked selfies, the questionable comments on weverse) as being his only getaway on a subconscious level from the otherwise insane control that is being exercised over him.
If those screenshots are true, his behavior is becoming more and more mean and sort of vindictive.
Either way - 24 y old man playing hours and hours of video games?? How much has his brain shrunken?
The 500 mil number in my opinion is by far not the real number. I believe Bang Si-Hyuk alone made at least 1 billion last year with all the income under the table.
Even if the number is real, it just shows how bad their contracts are and how stupid they were to sign. BigHit's net profit it's not BigHit's net profit. They only have BTS (TxT is nothing, doesn't generate anything, or almost nothing). This profit should be divided 20/80. 10-20% is the usual rate for a manager. They should have divided 400 millions to 7. I don't see any of them having almost 58 millions revenue each only from last year. Their wealth is estimated at around 8 mil each.
The other companies are real companies who have a history or having had bands and soloists each after each for decades now. Bang Si-Hyuk hasn't managed to have one successful act besides BTS.
Why?
Because it is not his merit at all. You are right to say that they had a spark and something special that made them attractive to the public. That spark is long gone. Bang Si-Hyuk made money out of them, while ruining whatever good things they had.
It is my belief that the staff is not getting much money because they don't seem to have qualified people. I've seen the same guy acting as a "bodyguard" also acting as a prop during their filming, or massaging their necks.
Their makeup is almost always bad, I don't seem them having real make-up artists with them on tour or events. Maybe for videos, but not in general.
The girls working there are nothing but a bunch of girls obsessed with them, sharing private information with stalkers, meant to distract them or even engage in some sort of physical contact to keep "them" "alert", also as part of manipulation.
I've seen multiple videos of female staff members flirting in a very obvious way, verbal as well as physical, with -in this order - Jungkook, Jimin, Jin, Namjoon, Hoseok.
None involving Yoongi. He seems to be not enjoying the unnatural and obvious flirting.
Not so many videos showing Taehyung, this could be explained by the producer having cut the scenes, but there were a lot of interaction by means of excessive laughing, one female staffer on a few occasion was constantly coming at the band's table taking food out of Taehyung's plate. Not from anyone else's.
Taehyung comes in, or says something in the room that's not funny at all, you hear and see all female staffers exploding in laughing. The typical manipulation of a guy.
The staff's behavior is suspicious. It is standard for every contract in every country to mention that if the artist is male (of course, we are talking about young people, such as Justin Bieber), female staffers are not to engage in any conversation, physical contact, flirting, or even eye contact with the artist. Those girls look like they are constantly trying to mate with the members. When I've said "trying to keep them alert", I have no doubt that it is at Band Si-Hyuk's request, in order to create some sort of sexual tension to make them more alive during filming.
Even if they were to be gay, but a flirting, a certain touch on a subconscious level, raises the level of endorphine and sex hormones.
