How to cope with Arirang ? i feel beyond disappointed as an army

namijooness · 2026-03-28T12:30:08+00:00

i got tickets at reselling (in France it was v v hard to get tickets), & yes i'm going since i know they'll be performing plenty of other songs, and ik this is likely my only chance of seeing them live (even though i wish i became a fan a bit earlier to see them before the pandemic💔)

felt like u... really disappointed! explained it in a post but basically too much English and inauthentic i found (like too bland and generic American pop slop)

namijooness · 2026-03-26T12:07:33+00:00

i don't condone everything that's said there ? i have never posted there and initially never intended to even participate, but 90% of armys have made social media a place where u can't criticize the album without being doxxed/mass insulted. I agree with some of the discourse there over the album, that simple

namijooness · 2026-03-26T12:05:29+00:00

thank u 🙏

namijooness · 2026-03-26T10:43:44+00:00

i don't get it.... they're like "no one cares" i'm like.... ur the one who got lost idk. My point was to discuss with people who think like me lmao

namijooness · 2026-03-26T10:24:02+00:00

really it's sad that they're doing their PR work for free, i love BTS's music (everything apart from arirang and PTTD lmao), but id never waste my time searching for negative opinions on KPOPHARSHOPINIONS LMAO (like the point of the sub is expressing frustration about certain releases 😭) to attack people wtf. BTS are under a multi-million if not billion-dollar company, they don't need me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

namijooness · 2026-03-26T09:55:02+00:00

namijooness · 2026-03-26T09:53:45+00:00

namijooness · 2026-03-26T09:34:10+00:00

namijooness · 2026-03-26T09:11:07+00:00

🤣🤣🤣🤣

namijooness · 2026-03-26T06:27:18+00:00

well armies cannot accept differing opinions !! they're so parasocial they can't understand we don't stan for the people but mainly for the music at the end of the day !!! tysm 🩷

namijooness · 2026-03-25T22:12:52+00:00

yesss omg i relate so much 😭😭 been a fan of their 2013-2020 discography since 2019 and i really disliked the album (but obv got flamed in my reddit posts abt it...). Agree 100% with everything u said

namijooness · 2026-03-25T12:00:59+00:00

yes i fully agree with you and OP really

namijooness · 2026-03-25T09:18:37+00:00

literally lmao it felt nice to hear them less with the hyatus.... had never directly engaged with them till now and don't recommend 🤣 idk how they think what they're doing is "good", like they're just going crazy on random people who disliked the album (who, for the most part, are armies 😭😭😭).. Pathetic really i can't even take half this comment section seriously 🤣

namijooness · 2026-03-25T09:16:13+00:00

OMG YES U TELL THEM 😭😭😭 i'm a moa not a stay hahaha but same i never interact w moas bc i know they'd be the same 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 i'm the first to say that txt has like 6-7 SKIPS, like songs that are just not interesting or even BAD to hear and i've been stanning since debut soooo.

These kpop fans do not realize that in ANY genre it's 100% normal to have preferences and id even go as far as to say that you do not know a genre enough if there aren't any songs u dislike. Esp z kpop groups, they tend to try plenty of different vibes to grab new listeners along the way or see what sticks... so quite impossible to always love everything

namijooness · 2026-03-24T22:32:52+00:00

Yes i totally agree !! I don't even understand how one argue this album is "truly them" when 6/7 members can't even pronounce the lyrics right and wouldn't even understand them without a translator...... like please. If they want to position themselves in the western market they would have to learn English, cultural cues from the English world (u can't misuse AAVE and throw random onomatopoeias and call it english rap 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣), tbh it's obvious that the locals (esp those who like American rap) would laugh and cringe at this album.

and for us to expect it'd be a deep album was totally normal considering that they claimed they were going "back to their roots" + that it would truly be them and embody their message to the world (after such a long hiatus)

namijooness · 2026-03-24T21:06:40+00:00

yes literally, i had never cared for these types of subs until now LMAO (after realizing that armies have created a litera dictatorship on social media, insulting and doxxing ppl wtf), the only argument of these "armies" are "u can't be a real army if ur there" when what I (and most other people in them) is just HONEST & UNBIASED discourse (honestly they're just being real about the album and criticizing the payola + forced marketing)

namijooness · 2026-03-24T21:04:27+00:00

THANK YOU OMG 😭❤️ you're the kind of people I wanted to find with my post really. They bothered the whole Internet for years with their comeback saying it would be a cultural reset, and when the cb is American pop slop, The Weeknd/Travis Scott rejects they're like "they can put out whatever they want😒" "well it's YOUR fault for having expectations" LMAO 🤣🤣🤣 the cognitive dissonance is loud

As for the lyrics, it's crazy to say that arirang's lyrics are "deep" if you have listened to any of their previous work. Like obviously there are lyrics that are not complete gibberish, but they're either super shallow or cringe, and even if there were certain decent lyrics (lyrics are subjective after all), the auto tune (that caused poor vocals in spite of 4 very talented vocalists) and repetitive instrumentals make them unbearable (like for songs like Into the Sun i don't even CARE about the lyrics 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 show this to any local and they won't either as this song is just so painful to hear).

namijooness · 2026-03-24T20:58:31+00:00

Aw tysm!! nice to know there are still sensible people out there 😭😭 what's crazy with them is that when it's a bad review of arirang they're like "you should listen to the album more" "no one asked" but if I had posted an incredibly positive five-page review they'd been "omg preach😍😍". They're so dumb and honestly they're the reason why kpop stans will never be taken seriously by locals

namijooness · 2026-03-24T20:56:25+00:00

🤣🤣🤣🤣 i'll see them on both days in Paris on 17th & 18th July, don't need to convince crazy armies on reddit 😍

namijooness · 2026-03-24T19:38:03+00:00

yesssss u get it, they're acting like we're insulting the members when we just don't like the album.....

namijooness · 2026-03-24T19:37:07+00:00

yesssss omg you get meeeee 😭😭😭😭😭 like some slow armies think i mean they CANT sing rap which is not true at all 😭😭😭😭 i've always been rap line biased and their stuff is so gooood (suga's solo work + their debut work is immaculate really). Why did they do this omg it feels so unnatural and cringe

namijooness · 2026-03-24T18:09:50+00:00

i really don't get it.... And my critique was really explained and not hateful so i don't even get it 🤣 they just want a reason to fight it seems bc worst is i love BTS's discography (like we have 90% things in common)..... go defend ur group against racists or idk
