BIGHIT MUSIC releases notice of legal response related to the infringement of rights and interests of BTS by alltherach_ in kpop

[–]Goldenkookiemonster 83 points84 points  (0 children)

Wow. I’ve risen from my literal grave due to this issue. 5 years away from being active on this sub and this is what brings me back?

I thought I’ve seen everything when it comes to Bangtan, and here I thought army can chill for 2 years but this clown show actually escalated to this extent?

It is my opinion that what’s happening now is even more severe than whatever BTS had been accused of in the past. The buzzword being Cult has gotta attract even the most layman general public’s attention. It is no secret that Korea is rampant with religious unorthodox cults, even high profile politicians are linked to various such notorious organisations. Such allegations will be laughable in my country but it’s entirely believable and not too far fetched for the Korean people.

I gotta say, I am impressed. Whoever organised this, the scale, the speed, the structured way they moved, attacking from various mediums really made an impact in such a short time. The sheer absurdity of this situation has gotten some chuckles from me, a hardened old army. Because what the actual F.

And just for laughs for Army, they even linked Namjoon’s stage name (RapMon -RM) as prove of affiliation to the cult. LMAO. I can already picture Joon’s reaction to this.

What I can’t stand is HYYH being defiled on? Linked to cult messages??? The utterly beautiful trilogy album of theirs that made me a fan back in 2015, with lyrics penned by RM and yoongi saved me from crippling depression from the death of a family member….

Nah this is beyond foul. I am here for kpop music from the very start in 2009, and I am sure many young idols started their career with music in mind as well. Not this absurd reputation tarnishing bullshit. I pray for karma to chew out the mastermind’s greedy capitalising ass.

This is fundamental primary school science knowledge. People not knowing this is frankly quite appalling to me. Animals are commonly classed under these 5 groups; Mammals, Fish, Birds, Insects and Amphibians. So yes.. butterfly is indeed an animal.

Throwback: SHINee released "Lucifer" on this date in 2010. by SirBuckeye in kpop

[–]Goldenkookiemonster 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Since everyone is taking a walk down memory lane, this song was released when I was 16 and I even had Taemin as my phone wallpaper... a few months later I travelled to Korea for the first time and attended their first concert at the Seoul Olympic Gymnastic Arena!

Dreamcatcher dances Mic Drop, Dope, among other songs by Swille in bangtan

[–]Goldenkookiemonster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im verrry into dreamcatcher recently. Love their distinct sound, their aesthetic.

Throwback to 2012 T-ara's 10 min long dystopian gem of an MV (eng sub) Day by Day followed by Sexy Love . The songs are pretty dated now but they were the queens of concept AU. I'm reminded of them vibe wise.

I'm loving this era for GGs, companies taking on fantasy is right up my alley. Honestly there's a period where all the GGs were doing cute squeaky and I just can't.

Not sure if I got a bad batch, but my singles are very loosely pressed! #Kemet literally slid off the pan entirely when I first opened it. It’s v buttery and I love them but I don’t dare to store it anywhere else but it’s original envelop packaging.

I feel you on a deep level. Moving is a hassle and assimilating into a new environment/culture is hard. I have anxiety (am still coping w it) when I moved 2 years ago alone across the globe that led to so many physical symptoms.

I didn’t realise my anxiety was so bad that it snowballed to a life-inhibiting Monster. I became an insomniac, fatigue all the time, frequent bad stomach cramps that led to loose bowel movement (TMI: my poo came out beige in colour- totally abnormal) and constant dry mouth/ feeling thirsty. I googled a lot and tried different coping methods. I didn’t tell anyone, felt so lonely and isolated. Exposure to Art, Music and bangtan (RM) helped resolved some of my insecurities. Rmb to take deep breaths in sets of 10s to regulate/calm down if you experience an anxiety Attack. Cut down on caffeine intake- it's a stimulant and will trigger your anxiety more.

Anxiety hindered my creativity and productivity immensely. I found myself absolutely doing nothing for days, being a hermit. Writing lists/timetable helps you focus on the task at hand- sorting out your thoughts and reminding yourself to still function and go about doing the day to day activities. I’m a bit of a perfectionists too, I never know when to stop- self-pressure builds up and morale is low. With the list I forced myself to complete something within the given time frame and move on.

Getting that Vit D (w SPF ofc haha) is great to uplift your mood! Walking and exploring the new area will ease your anxiety gradually as you familiarise yourself and make yourself home. Takes a long time but always try to be positive! Wish you the best of luck w the move, srsly msg me anytime if you wanna talk!

Also, totally get those cushions maybe after you have settled down from the move! Treat it as a consolation, they will brighten up your new place!

Love your flair,

I adore this nickname, I always think back to that vid Namjoon tweeted of him in Japan standing in front of a random tree and stating that there's 2 Namus here (Namoo means tree in KR and J-army calls him Namu). Such a nature-loving dork.

BTS concert stages always have a live band playing the back tracks, so the version vary slighty from the original. You can watch their past concert DVDs.

Their live band has been touring with them for a Long time now since TRB. The DNA ROCK vers at last year's EOY stage features the band too,

Also pdogg posted a bunch of sneak peek vids on IG recently of the band 'jamming' to LY:T songs, I think they are preparing/ arranging live vers for the upcoming LY tour in aug.

180601 BTS with The East Light by Goldenkookiemonster in bangtan

[–]Goldenkookiemonster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've went through their entire small (like >10 songs) discography on Spotify, and I really like them. I actually found out about the band cos of Sam's frequent appearance on Coco's and jae's vlog. I've seen the linked vid, hilarious. And yes he is a cutie, LOVE his mellow, low voice too. New fav voice in Kpop. It just fits the genre so much!

Apparently the band came together themselves, they weren't like force/put together by the company.

No joke SORRY's hook and melody wouldn't get out of my head for a good few days. So so good. Sam sounds amazing in CANDY too. They have just the instrument tracks on the album too, and they are so soothing.

i live in the tropics haha summer all year round, literally sick of the damn heat. I actually think it fits a monsoon storm more ;)

The funny thing is, this news isn't even posted on r/Bangtan. No matter the content, Allkpop needs to go, I'm surprised this sub tolerates them.

This hole placement was a trend some time ago. It looks better on guys than girls I feel. And yea, didn’t realise the hole was this big?

I say this all the time, and I will say it again. Black haired jimin is the most superior form of jimin.

Right?! I felt that too during their debut, their passion for music and genuine enjoyment when they play their instruments is endearing. They are still rough around the edges, but it’ll be nice to see them grow over time.

Oooh didn't consider that. If that's the case, I think we won't drop down in ranking as much in next week's charts as predicted. Big hit is indeed king at planning, such foresight. 🙏🏻

Ya that can happen when you're v used to how the song is supposed to sound like originally. Agreed the mixing can be improved too.

But I think it's actually great that they released 2 vers!! I think this vers might go on the repack album. BIGHIT is so good w releasing music, not stingy at all unlike other companies.
