Bringing this back because it continues to be the truth.
JK and Namjoon occupy 2 different lanes and are exceptional in what they do.
I want the world for them.
Just a look back at GOLDEN's debut week to remind everyone because I think we are losing sight of some things.
Jungkook charted 4 songs simultaneously on the Billbard Hot100. We put in work!! What a fun time.
JK's future is fated so don't worry too much yall.
@thehill
Why do they do this?
1. It's not 1619 project it's the 1776 commission.
2. It's not Black Lives Matter it's All Lives Mater.
3. It's not Million Man March it's Million MAGA March.
And so on.
Basically if it centers the Black experience then re-brand it! ๐คฆ๐ฟโโ๏ธ
@latimes
It's very clear who has dealt with workplace racism and who has not. It can leave you in so much turmoil and anxiety on what to do/fall out that you are frozen in place. I'm happy they are finding their voices now. If it happened then it needs to be said.
@Imani_Barbarin
It really just shows the level of disrespect some countries have for the art form cause there is no way she should have been submitted for breaking. If the competing countries can't or won't approach it with seriousness then there's no way IOC can keep this category.
Something on my mind tonight. I'm happy for Jimin so this is no shade to him.
Based on that interview with pdogg, Jimin was connected with ๐ด people (ex. tedder, Bellion, tenroc) BEFORE JK
The A&R work that the fans denigrated JK for WAS done for other members too.
I get so salty when I see armys taking credit for JK fanbase and JK fans work. ๐
We collectively organize, donate, buy, and hype up on the timeline. We all play a part, yet they have the audacity to dimiss the importance of his own fans.
Pisses me off, actually.
@onmyjungkook7
My question is, have you demanded the same for the torchbearers of each your countries or is this something that is only the responsibility of Jin to do?
Please answer.
Every day I'm appreciative of how JK fanbases approach supporting him.
We need stay loud in reminding JK fans: Do not engage in nonsense under official accounts from brands and industry people.
They ARE watching. They ARE seeing who is being abusive and aggressive. ๐ฌ
@taeisthv
What I'll say is Coachella is the absolutely LEAST covert location if you're trying to maintain privacy.
It's two weeks of "who's who event" and "spot the celebrity" in the crowd. It's been this way for decades at Coachella. There was no way he was going unseen.
@swiftie_spotify
Maybe next time don't antagonize a worldwide fandom on the precipice of breaking a record?
Honestly I have to thank swifties. Y'all helped the fandom finally re-focus, align priorities and organize.
We appreciate your interest and attention on Jungkook. ๐
@onlyapobangpo
If you guys stopped blocking every "solo" account maybe you would see how much hard work, organizing, time, and money is going into charting his projects. ARMYs only a portion of it and that's it. Their attention and funds are way too split to carry any solo project anymore.
@park1310mimin
@ThePopBase
JK's song is on the list, so she is speaking to that. That 16 million wasn't just powered by ARMYs. It was also JK fans, casual listeners, and GP.
ARMYs can't make everyone else listen to other members' songs.
It's why ARMYs have struggled trying to repeat his results
@ARMYProject529
@bts_bighit
They did not say ANYTHING about armys. Jungkook's popularity extends beyond that and you know it.
If you can accept Namjoon being praised in ways other members aren't, then how dare you try to bring on bully spamming an official account for JK's moment.
CUT IT OUT!!!
@JabariiWilliams
@Giizis_Mkwa
@GAFollowers
That's not always practical. Sometimes they have straps or are wrapped or tied around the ankle. How about just listening when women are telling you this could literally save a woman's life instead of questioning the logic.
@btschartsdailyc
When a fandom makes the priorities old songs for nostalgia's sake this is what happens. ๐คท๐พ
ARMYs get their fan projects and get to play pretend on Twitter. So there's the win, I guess.

Perfect example of that ignorance I was talking about. Beyonce's 1st and 2nd singles from her debut album were also collabs. She had 6 total collabs on that album. It was fantastic btw
Like Beyonce, JK is a part of one of the biggest groups in the world. He's not clout chasing
@Museofjimin
You guys have reduced jm's career to simply being about pjms beating another artist's record.
So much so that you basically dropped the album within days.
Do you not like his music?
Do you not care about his artistic journey?
@btsdatarchive
If armys pull back from Seven in favor of getting Dynamite to 2 billion FIRST, then you will be confirming speculations folks have had about the state of the fandom.
I really hope fanbases like you consider the implications and the message of posts like this going forward.
@GoldenJKUnivers
If there is one thing that I had surmised about JK fanbases, Radio and Sales, is that you guys are speaking from a place of professional knowledge. We are lucky to have you leading this and be fellow Jungkook fans.
I trust your judgment.
I hope this serves as a lesson to hold your tongue before being reactionary.
Honestly speaking, for me it makes what people did after Seven even more sick.
Alot of fans on here need to reevaluate what makes them go to such horrid extremes in the name of stanning.
@BTSxUKCharts
Correct me if I'm wrong but is this not the second time in 6 weeks where you led a charting action for another member on a significant day for JK?
1. Never Let Go release day.
2. Seven's anniversary.
That doesn't seem odd to you? Or to other OT7 armys?
@selsabilll
@BABY97CANDY
Who is written by the same producer and songwriter involved with Seven and SNTY. I believe the song was even recorded before JK's songs.
FYI: Jon Bellon is a Scooter connection in the US music industry
Literally everything you guys accused JK of applies to this project too
@Phil_Lewis_
What I'm gathering from this past week is that Black trauma and bigotry against Black people is more digestible/tolerable to the general public and the media than anti-Semitism.
It's all very enlightening.
@inminsclit
So this is how the timeline will be rewritten. I've been wondering how boycotters would eventually do it
Many of us peeped the boycotts and the recruiting process to spread it well before most ARMYs acknowledged it was even happening
Boycotters, especially the loudest voices...
@chartjungkook
My goodness. I'm so proud of Jungkook. The route he is going through with album promo is like what it used to be back in the day.
Artists performed on EVERY stage- big or small, through every kind of condition. The strongest survive the gauntlet.
He is truly a Popstar.
@KTHnextchapter
You know this is just highlighting that Friends debuted on a much weaker chart, if NLG has more streams with a lower position- right?
But if this is that type of notice you want to put out there for folks to dissect ๐คท๐พโโ๏ธ
If you like it, then I love it!!
For chart comparison:
@voiceofjeon
I have a strange calm & excitement at the same time.
1. I think this is gonna be the one to solidify him as THE MALE POP VOICE.
2. The quiet from BH feels intentional, like this is how JK wanted to roll it out. Makes me think Friday is gonna be INSANE.
@jjksghoul
They want to humble BTS, to break them. It's a show of power. No regular citizen is above the country or the government
I think we forget sometimes that their power structure r the children of a former dictatorship & no democracy is ever truly a democracy. It's all highly flawed
@tyjuan39

@OffsetYRN
He was shot by one of his guys.
The dude apparently got riled up over the dice argument (quavo vs. whoever) and he just started shooting wildly. He shot Takeoff by accident.
@Daily_JKUpdate
@JlNSONYEONDAN
She deleted it now. If folks don't support his projects, fine..but it's really not hard just to keep the thoughts to yourself.
None of them want to own the fact that THEY are adding negative discourse around his name.
@JonKrawczynski
Losing your mom when she is relatively young is devastating. I was in a fog for a year after my mom died. I could do my job but I was disconnected from it. He just has to be honest with his grief and keep moving forward.
@JhopeGlobalFan
I work in logistics. BigHit can do NOTHING if the delay is from a third party. And there are a number of things that can fail within the supply chain leading to delays.
You guys are once again acting out and you are naive to think this won't also get back to J-Hope.
@rareginger_
You are not about to re-write history. The boycotts STARTED with Golden projects.
Maybe if more of y'all were paying attention and speaking out against it then this wouldn't have gotten this far.
@ojostarcandy
And the thing is, it's not even really shade to the other members.
Sometimes an artist just ascends so high that you can't help but wonder where they can go with their potential.
@Bangtan7_Stream
This message is for u too. You guys r revealing yourselves as being against any success that JK has.
I have never said this before: armys, you are behaving like JK antis
I cannot overstate how much this will damage this fandom. It will be irreparable
@btsdatarchive
If armys pull back from Seven in favor of getting Dynamite to 2 billion FIRST, then you will be confirming speculations folks have had about the state of the fandom.
I really hope fanbases like you consider the implications and the message of posts like this going forward.
@onlyapobangpo
JK fans donate consistently & started donating IMMEDIATELY to JK fanbases not to Armys
After 2 days GU fanbase collected over $20,000...while main army fanbase was still trying to cross $100 collected
Y'all have to step back from frustration & stop using JK as ur punching bag
@idalika__
You do understand that Tae music styles of choice, r&b and jazz, are creation of Black American culture, correct?? That's also of the western music.
And if you asked me, though I think his album is good, it is watered down version of r&b- (whitewashed). And mostly lacking soul.
@btschartsglobal
To the ARMYs who object to this...you do realize the group is in danger of missing out completely on these year end awards, right? There are no current BTS songs in a similar or better position, so what do YOU want to happen?
I thought a win for 1 is a win for all, correct?
@ikkietan
I think people find it disturbing that ARMYs never use this type of language about anyone except JK.
"JK would rather k*ll himself..." "JK would set himself on fire for the members..." On and on.
It's like you see him as a tool or pawn with no self agency.
If you believe in JungKook, then I need you to correct your posture, square your shoulders and stop calling it "JUST a fan song๐ฉ."
It's gonna be a hit. If you can't hype it up, keep it mute.
Jungkook is coming
Never Let Go is coming
@tmikpop
My guess...whatever grace Grammys tried to extend to NJ will never come again.
The academy is notorious for blacklisting acts that fall out of favor w/ them
Not sure what that'll mean for NJ expansion into the US market but...that certainly was an interesting choice by MHJ!

@ojostarcandy
He is brilliant at it. JK understands his fans & who he is trying to reach better than anyone else. That includes his members & BigHit.
Generally speaking, the things he leans into can be copied by others, but it will never hit the same. It's always missing his honesty & magic.
ARMYs/Jungkook fans/JJKs/ Jungkookies- for the love of God, please stop bringing nonsense on official accounts.
It's nasty behavior and it seems these accounts are getting increasingly disturbed by it.
C*k is now hiding comments by us๐คฆ๐พโโ๏ธ
STOP.
@BrianMcLight
Naviyd also was pushing for the Usher Jungkook collab. Usher FaceTimed him on the set of the music video so he could say hi to JK. ๐คฃ
Kid is not missing his opportunities. Love it! ๐ญ
@mweerden1
@onlyapobangpo
Calling out the performance of JK songs in comparison to other members is targeted behavior.
The message is clear: if ARMYs can do it for HIM, why aren't they showing up for ( ) member?
It's never said in a neutral way and you know and I both know that.
@chartdata
Congrats to both!
SNTY being the top selling song in kpop for more than 9 months is insane. And it was released last year?!?! ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
@chartjungkook
No frinking way!!!
Ms Ross, the Legend, Queen Motha, (my pfpโบ๏ธ) likes JK. That's what I'm talking about ๐๐พ๐๐พ๐๐พ๐๐พ
@BlaknwhiteQueen
@Imani_Barbarin
In 1 day she singlehandedly tarnished the image of breakdancing as a legitimate sport that deserves recognition on this stage.
Self awareness and her knowledge of breaking should have led her to an informed conclusion that she does not have the practical skill for this.
@ShadowSiren666
@Imani_Barbarin
A person that could earn no better than a zero score has no business even being in the competition or having the privilege to forever call themselves an Olympian.
It really just makes a mockery of the category which we've seen play out for hours now.
@BeckyS1246
@jksources
FYI for those who need to know: JK is credited as a main artist on the song. It will count towards his overall streams and catalog.
@chartjungkook
I'm proud of that!! We worked hard for it. JK's gift deserved our sincere attention & reciprocated love. I do hope that the end result is a little higher than the prediction. We saw that alot with SNTY
Let's try to keep it going for week 2. We need to get the filter rate down!
@daphneblake
@Michell59154514
@BuzzFeed
3LW also had a presence on channels like Nickelodeon and Disney as a "kid" focused musical act, so her claim about MTV is moot to me. I hope the lawyers know this too.
That phrase became apart of pop lexicon because of the 3LW song. I'm happy they might finally make her pay up.
@mweerden1
@onlyapobangpo
Then taking it a step further, like I said, it's NOT ARMYs showing up better for JK. It's JK's own fandom and casual listeners
JK fans remind y'all of this all time yet people repeatedly ignore it because you want to use his outcomes as the measuring stick for the other members
@idalika__
Pop music doesn't have to be your thing, but JK definitely executed and hit the nail on the mark with experimenting in this project. Seven, SNTY, Yes or No, Hate You, Shot Glass of Tears are stands out and some of the best music made by BTS in years.
@dawnl00v
Spotify charts lists 34 major cities in the US with their own Top 100 chart.
"Who" is the only top song not present on ANY of these city charts.
It's an outlier, highly unusual. The kind of thing one wouldn't want Spotify to investigate.

@dreamjeons
They did hear him! If you watch extended fancams from the event, you can hear the warm up.
It was about 10 minutes before the performance started.
@jjungootwtt
Usher's been promoting his Live in Paris concert documentary 2 weeks already and it's in theaters the same day as JK's.
BH is just dropping the ball and not putting in enough effort.
@BreeNewsome
Thank you! You just named what I've been feeling! Every time I see or hear comments, mostly from white people, thanking Black women for carrying "us" it's made me feel gross and angered. This is why. Mammy-fying. I absolutely hate it.
