It's like h*be owns their lives. People praise their company but it seems like a slave contract.
They are slaves to the company their fans praise. At the Grammys, they were pawed over and couldn't attend with Bang.
I bet it comes out eventually, that they're definitely not paid what everyone thinks they are.

Mcdonals in korea alone made $801m off that bts meal promotion. How much of that you think they got lol? Be lucky to get 2 mill each I think while the company takes the majority of the insane insane revenue they can generate in a blink.

It's also very telling that the media are losing their shit over Jimin and his health payments, which isnt really a huge deal other than being embarrassing and very juicy because why did he not have the money and where he was actually staying if not there. Its actually mad they don't care that some of his mail was stolen, that's like a legit crime where I'm from haha.

But there's nothing about the ex YG CEO being on trial for threatening to kill an ex-employer. Corrupt, corrupt,corrupt.
Koreans are angry because he's a privileged celebrity who they think can have anything and he didn't pay his bill. There's a disconnect between kpop culture and the conditions for most in South Korea.

One thing is confusing , these are global superstars, can't they afford their own management apart from hy*e representing them. Like jm signed an OST and other solo ventures, it must be managed by his own managers or what? Likewise they can't hire someone to do their finances/taxes and stuff?
What's with the co-dependency?
That's the way it's done in kpop. It's similar to having one lawyer represent two people in a dispute. It's unethical but how things are done.

These guys probably arent getting half of what hibe makes from them

Yet why is yn and sometimes NJ the only ones allowed to work with other artists? Korean and western artists at that and the rest are trapped in hibe basement

They are the most talented members in the group tho but still
Namjoon one of the most talented members in the group, i don't think so , i agree about Suga

Anybody ever heard of "pretty privilege?" Well bang p seems to have done a reversal, giving rm and suger ugly privilege..they get the collabs, mix tapes, and artist credits. While the attractive members get paid dust and are made to look and act like they're for sale to the highest bidder. Like high end escorts basically.

And I know some might be thinking their meow meow isn't ugly and my response is have they seen him before his many plastic surgeries? He never had idol looks.View attachment 73684

Wonder how they're going to do an album, tour and then 3 mixtapes that I assume the members want to be able to sell and promote properly. All within the year. The company is beyond shit, they really struck gold with BTS but have no idea how to manage the schedule or their PR for real.

I don't think Vee will have his work released. Hobi and RM might do by the end of the year. But I think for sure Jin is leaving and solos are starting next year.

No way in heck Jimin resigns in 2024 loool. I wonder how much he'll get for his book deal haha

He wrote and produced a lot of the group's best songs. I can't stand the guy but yes j00n is one of their most talented members.
they sing in a tone that's not theirs ,that's why it seems they can't sing , they're like Britney Spears , they made them sing with a baby voice ..
Hahaha stop! Come on now, M0m0 sounded like 10 nasally j!n's in one. She can't sing along with a long list of other female idols. I've noticed the female idols are usually less talented than the male ones with simple choreographies and very little stage presence. The industry just picks them for their looks alone and yet still make them get a ton of plastic surgery. Go figure.
stop sexualizing that guy, it's get annoying ..
You're on a roll with these responses today, huh? Lol I didn't make jkay wear that monstrosity of an outfit, blame the company for that one. And I picked those pictures because if you look closely you can see a fully clothed yn and jhpe in the back proving the point I made yesterday; which was that the good looking members are sexualized the most and receive little opportunities outside the group. And that's on hybe.

Girl Mmm , i dont see any sexulazing in her statement, she just spits facts, Jeon look like a manwhore in those clothes, i know its bit harsh but it's true, that was the compagnies and stylists goal to begin with, bring the fanfictions or whatever into life, to keep the fans hooked, and to please so rich perverts (both genders), we dont put the blame on Jeon here well cuz the man's casual clothes are more reserved, and we cant get inside his brain obviously, also its true that not jist hyve but many other industries not only in korea does do the same, putting those who even with many surgeries and makeup cant attract the majoritie's attention in the back, while those who can are fitting more for the sexualization role.
Each one of the 7 has a role, for example Jeon the cute bunny that can turn into a bad boy ripping his clothes, and has a golden heart..etc (it was more park's role at first tho), Park the fairy and cuty pie that can turn into someone who lure both genders, Joon the 148 iq guy who can be clumsy, suga the hardcore rapper that gives a fuck but also a cat like and the list is long, also they're working on the astrology thing too, for example park being a libra, the members are only promoting personas that are fake but they re just humans and sometimes their true colors come to light, the compagny take advantage of this as well, to promote a more disorted personas that make "sum" people believes it.

If this is true it must have been one whopper of a bribe :mad:!!

Wow this is crazy but Bang is worth billions in U.S. dollars alone so very possible I think. They must have lined a lot of pockets.

And I was wondering what the hell was going on, this group should have been enlisted. The laws keep changing solely so this group can delay the inevitable. I saw a lot of Kpop fans mad about this on twttr. The newest one is winning fan voted American awards for consideration of exemption, like wtf.

Also, this desperation just shows how hybe doesn't believe armies will wait for b*s...basically if this group is out of the lime light for even a minute they will lose their momentum and their fans will move on. Hybe wants to squeeze these men dry and keep making as much money as possible from that foolish fandom.

You described their personas perfectly. They all play a roll. And speaking of the outfits. It's very apparent which members were sexualized with revealing outfits...FGigwkdXEAAY7lc.jpeg.jpg
Plus, who had to wear chains and hand cuffs?...yup the "visual line" T@e, jk, jm, and jn. Not a coincidence..FChvWMoVEAEKXcy.jpeg.jpg

Exactly! And yes! Why was Jeon and V the only one with the chains and handcuffs, cuz the compagny promotes them as manwhores (again i know its harsh but its the truth), they added park and jn too, to feed their fans by bringing the fanfictions into life, blurr the lines between what is wrong and what is right, please the perverts, and to humiliate them too, i wasnt the one on stage, but god i felt so disgusted when i saw the outfits they wore.

Yep hibe is afraid that the money train will run out if boys that suck go to the military

And I knew from the beginning, when they started releasing shitty ass kiddie music in English,that the goal was to win a Grammy to get military exemption

And the grammys,while also shady and shitty,didnt give them the grammy


If these fools go to the military (I doubt it but i sure hope they take their non bill paying asses on!) the majority of their fans will either leave kpop or move on to a different group such as text or ncTeee or at€€z

Maybe cause y’all super maknae can’t write to save his life. Yoongi might be ugly to y’all but he’s an all round idol, if STB disband he secured his bag, the others can’t relate lmao

She never mentioned their looks, that was me in my post. It was an observation I made. I want to clarify that I personally don't find yn ugly, I think he's average pre and post surgery. I was going by the beauty standards in Korea that have a major influence on an idol's success. Example, jennie from Blackpnk and all the brand deals etc she gets because she's considered cute with a nice body. SK is a very visual nation. Good Looks=success.
J ¹⁹⁹⁶ on Instagram_ “[INFO] ⠀ Giant billboard of Jennie X Air Baked spotted in Seoul, Korea ⠀...jpg
This is not the case for b*s though Bang flipped the script. The members that are not deemed attractive and are nowhere near the Korean beauty standard appear to be treated better and have more opportunities. They can keep their dignity on stage and wear normal stage outfits. They are not forced into ships either.

Sorry if I hit a nerve talking about y00ngles a.k.a mr. Meow meow as twttr armys like to call him. And as far as jkay, he's talented and would have been surpassed that group if he had ever been given the chance. He's bh's money maker though so I doubt they will let him out of the basement anytime soon.

I never said yn was ugly first of all,he is actually a decent looking guy and yes he definitely has a career as a songwriter/producer/rapper after btss is over

But sk is a very lookism nation so therefore the members who are considered handsome never get the oopportunities that the less attractive ones get

Based on how the rap line gets these opportunities its easy to see that they were the focal point of the group when it started as they are definitely the most talented members

The most useless member is worldwide since he can barely sing and has the rhythm of brickwall,all he has is his good looks and that's it
