the irony is that this guy is the original "poor little meow meow" someone tweeted about when they tried to protect him from the backlash from using a jim jones sample in one of his songs. his company blamed a producer but there was video of him working on the song with the sample in the background.

defensive fans almost always make it worse.

[daredevilwolf]

that is unforgivable

what a sociopath

just like beyonce and putting the challenger(the space ship that exploded) sample in her song

what was she thinking

[goodbye22]

Oh yes when I brought out that Jim jones sample scandal to a German fan of his her response was “ they use hitlers speech in a song here, so what?” I was just wowwwwwwwwwww.

BH also apologized for suggesting it was a “kickboard” scooter, like the ones you see downtown. He was fully on a moped-type scooter and zooming around in a high traffic area.

My dude, you have more money than God. Why not just get someone to drive you?

I was going to say “or walk” but he’d probably get picked up for public intoxication.

Icky.

[tigermilk]

Oh god, and in case anyone is wondering, my icon is Woozi, not Suga.

[itsme_eloise]

woozi has grown on me sooooo much since watching nana tour

[tigermilk]

Aw I love that. I’ve been Woozi biased for years but I’ve noticed he’s gotten softer and more openly playful, and more people are warming up to him. Deserved.

the people acting like "it's just a scooter!" scare the hell out of me. first a scooter, next a car. or, hell, he could've already pulled this shit in an actual car and didn't get caught. what if he had hit a child? or, someone disabled? or, elderly? what, then? shit like this just escalates; then, people get hurt. killed.

ridiculous. shame on this asshole.

look at how busy that place is! add in the factor of a traffic catastrophe, because i didn't know there were so many vehicles. holy moly. this is awful. and fuck BH for trying to minimize.

[simprov]

not to mention even if it was a standing scooter, some teens illegally double-riding on one of those in a park killed an elderly woman by hitting her!

His English and Australian accent in that scene was and still is SO funny.

i'm surprised it didn't happen to jungkook first tbh

ngl i do wonder how bts will do when they come back. internationally they'll do very well (but even then i wonder if maybe they lost some fans to groups like stray kids?), but in korea none of their solos except for seven did well (even though taehyung promoted a lot in korea) and their latest korean release performed just ok. i think supernova is on the verge of breaking one of dynamite's melon records (ditto already broke their pak record). i think they probably peaked in korea, idk about internationally

[ladychips]

jhope broke a lot of records with lollapalooza, but thats international too. but i guess its not uncommon over there to have idols disappear for 2 years while they do service? maybe the market there is used to that

[setsuna16]

The market is indeed very used to male idols leaving the scene to do their mandatory service.

tbf i'm not into boy groups so i wouldn't know for others, but bts is one of the rare boy groups who do well on digital platforms in korea so i'm just wondering if that will still be the case when they come back. the only other boy group who has been consistently good digitally is big bang but they're an outlier. idk how other boy groups fared after they reunited after the military
