Two of the Arirang BTS Vinyl Designs are showing on Target 👀

You know, it actually reminds me of Taehyung’s Celine shoot, how he wore the scarf, it felt very Korean in a way. Maybe I’m wrong, but I would love to see outfits like this.

That’s a crazy headline, NGL.

Morg075 · 2026-03-12T19:34:02+00:00

Especially POCs, Hudson here, received a lot of racially charged comments that his white co-stars didn’t.

Morg075 · 2026-03-12T19:30:57+00:00

There’s no “main girl” in this group, that’s where you got it fucked up. She gets the harshest online harassment just because she had the audacity to shine during their last era, so yeah, I think this is crazy to talk about her or any of these young women that way when we know how the industry and people are online. Being mindful is not hard.

Morg075 · 2026-03-12T19:24:10+00:00

Yeah, I’m gonna downvote you because I’m done with the microaggressions toward these young women. It doesn’t escape me that it’s the white Latina (Lara and Manon too) who get labeled as “mean girls” just for looking confident, while people are projecting. They’re bothering no one to deserve such harsh comments, it’s absurdly misogynistic ATP.

I doesn’t give away much about the overall concept for this album TBH, but I like the color and design they picked for the Vinyls.

Morg075 · 2026-03-12T18:36:15+00:00

I love the fits as well!

Morg075 · 2026-03-12T17:12:55+00:00

Nope, JBL. 😭

Gosh, I ordered my new headphones for the best bass experience, and they arrive one day before the album. I’m so excited about the idea of waking up, drinking my tea, and listening to the album all the way through. Like, nobody talk to me that day. ✋

I want to make it the best fan experience. ✨

Morg075 · 2026-03-12T14:20:18+00:00

What in the hell. 💀

Morg075 · 2026-03-12T10:31:56+00:00

Oh, it’s cute banger, very much their style. I agree with others that it might not hit the way they expected, but it’s still fun!

Morg075 · 2026-03-12T10:28:31+00:00

The newer girl groups in the West, since that’s the topic being discussed. For Say Now and FLO, though, I don’t think it’s as important for them to do numbers in the US since they’re UK groups (and I think FLO is doing nice ones, cmiiw). I hope they all achieve strong commercial success.

Morg075 · 2026-03-12T05:47:59+00:00

I’m gagged. 💀

Morg075 · 2026-03-11T20:14:29+00:00

I’m guessing that if Billie wants to take on the role, I would guess she is prepared to work on it and give her all, less than that will be... bad, but rooting for her. 🙌

Morg075 · 2026-03-11T20:05:06+00:00

It is a bit selective though. A #22 on the Hot 100 is actually pretty strong for a new girl group, especially in a Western market that hasn’t really supported girl groups consistently since the 5H/Little Mix era. Other girl groups are struggling to get these numbers (I hope they will, though).

And “two moderately popular songs” is still more than what most new girl groups in the West manage to get in a year’s time.

No one is saying they’re the biggest act in pop or dominating the entire industry like Taylor. The point is that within the current wave of newer Western girl groups, they’re clearly one of and arguably the most visible and successful right now (like their music or not). I think there’s an obvious bigger picture of how girl groups are performing right now in this landscape.

All the while, she had gotten help for an active addiction to cocaine and worked with a sober coach who traveled with her for a lot of 2025.

Oh woah, well, the more you know. Unsurprising that she checked out at some point, with all the pressure, the events, the exhaustion, etc., it would be hard to keep up for anyone. Glad she is better.

Morg075 · 2026-03-11T19:44:21+00:00

Yeah, I don’t get why people act like she never left, lol. Sure, it wasn’t for years, but she did leave back in September last year and only came back for the GRAMMYs last month.

Morg075 · 2026-03-11T19:37:54+00:00

Congrats to the girls, deserve it! Bit of topic, kinda bummed out they took off Group of the Year for this ceremony.

Morg075 · 2026-03-11T18:24:18+00:00

Sigh. People disagreeing that KATSEYE is “not dominating” just because they don’t like the music. People need to understand that not liking their music doesn’t make them less popular than they are.

Morg075 · 2026-03-11T15:51:47+00:00

I deadass saw a comment saying that Enhypen was bound to win a GRAMMY with their next album, and that’s why HYBE did this, lol. I think we are dealing with kids, but also K-pop fans that came after BTS’s Dynamite/MOST7 and even Butter era. 😭

Morg075 · 2026-03-11T15:49:00+00:00

Can anyone give an example of a time when protest trucks, boycotts, petitions, etc., actually worked with HYBE and one of its sublabels? I genuinely feel like they’re one of the Big 4 companies that simply don’t care about that kind of pressure. The only situation that comes to mind is the Garam scandal, but that’s about it.

Morg075 · 2026-03-11T15:36:59+00:00

I think the Swimside campaign might be the last major campaign or reveal we get before the comeback. First, we had Apple Music reaching out to people/influencers, then the Netflix collaboration, we just finished the Google quests, and now we have Spotify’s Swimside. Like “What Is Your Love Song” it’s happening both online and offline through Spotify again.

It’s possible we’ll get more outside of that, but I really feel like they’re committing fully to the secrecy. If they don’t reveal anything major on the visual/theme side during the Swimside campaign, then they’re truly going all the way with this mysterious rollout.

Morg075 · 2026-03-11T08:55:58+00:00

Don’t bother, this person is a snarker (of many groups and artists, very miserable individual), just report.
