BigHit releases an apology for Suga's use of Jim Jones sample on his mixtape

[mzgrottesca]

This is a follow up to our previous post that you can read hereFor context, BTS member Suga (Min Yoongi) recently released his long-awaited second mixtape last week. The mixtape was met with mostly positive reception until it came to people's attention that a sample used on the track What Do You Think was actually from one of infamous cult leader

Who thinks is a good idea to use the sample of the speech of a mass murderer and a cult leader for a song? And I find it funny that some fans were doing mental gymnastics to justify the guy, saying that he did that to diss JJ and then it turns out they just used it to be edgy and didn't even know the context , and now those fans are mad bc BH apologized, making the thing a bigger issue when they just could accept the apology and move on and just let this die , but fans are dumb

All of this was a ride

now some fans are sending apologies to bh for "not protecting the boys enough"

[ohmylol]

Jajajajaja ¿En serio? De verdad parecen un culto, están mal y como que empeora cada día

[digitalqueen]

tb están desenterrando todas las controversias antiguas de otros idols y exigiéndoles disculpas, incluso las que ya se resolvieron. están desesperadas por desviar la atención

that's weak, especially after writting that song about not giving a fuck and being so badass (lol). I was expecting him to take responsability for his own mixtape. But it's easier to blame the nugu producer.

soooo is suga gonna put out a statement on his own like a big boy or are we to assume he's truly repenting and knows what he did wrong when his company is the one helping him put out a generic statement

He’s way toooo “genius” for that.

have the members ever had to personally apologize for anything? i feel like it's always bighit apologizing for them.

funny how bts are creative geniuses with 100% control over their music and brand until they get in the slightest bit of controversy and then everything is the company's fault. can't even issue their own apologies ffs.

at this point i wish this group would just disband so their fans could stop wreaking havoc on twitter. armys might as well be a cult themselves.

As far as disbanding goes, I find it incredibly unlikely that they're all gonna last the full 7 year contract they just signed with BigHit. At least one of them (probably Taehyung or Seokjin) is going to try to leave the group and all hell is going to break loose because that "we're all best friends! we're YOUR friends!" image is going to combust.

[ohmylol]

Why do you say that? 👀👀

[mzgrottesca]

hmm well it's all speculation of course but a) Tae seems way more interested in acting/becoming a professional art hoe like TOP and b) Seokjin gets the least out of being in BTS in general - a ton of fans hate him/think he's useless, he has no solo activities, he gets no acting opportunities even though he got his Bachelor's in film studies/acting and he's spoken about the way 99% of his musical input gets thrown out by BigHit.

Other idols their age already have established solo careers but BigHit doesn't rly let BTS do anything solo besides producing. I can easily see either of those two getting fed up since their passions don't seem to lie in music. Frankly Taehyung has been put through hell, so I was almost anticipating that he wouldn't re-sign with the others.
