This is why K-pop will never be completely global. The fans. The absolute audacity of people who have never ran a business, never performed on a stage, and never wrote a song to tell an industry veteran how to run his business based off of their parasocial fixations.
K-pop system has done a real shit job on the brains of the fans.
Just because you have dedicated your life to obsessing about people online does not give you rights over what happens with their careers.
Lol. K-pop fans are fickle and hypocritical.
On one end they whine about wanting companies and CEOs to be transparent. But when they see one that is actually transparent, they move the goal post into wanting to control what that CEO is doing.
It’s absurd
What I see #JayPark is doing and how he is navigating the career of #LngShot is to create a path for them outside of the limitation of the K-pop system.
The K-pop bubble is suffocating the potential of so many great acts. because of its dependencies .
@JAYBUMAOM is setting them up to not have to rely on the dependency of fandom , comebacks , music shows, and parasocial fixations.
The tour is an amazing decision. It feels very true to hip-hop and R&B culture that I grew up on..
And opening act from a rookie group for an industry legend.
No matter how much you hate on Jay Park you cannot take away his accolades and his talent.
He has successfully bridged, KR&B hip-hop, and K-pop.
Like Teddy understood with # Blackpink, KPOP IS JUST MUSIC, it has to compete with more than itself to be truly successful . So it is important to capture the ears and hearts of music lovers .
A casual listener of music is more important than obsessed fans. K-pop listeners only make up 2% of music listeners.
You are not special.
Jay Park wants the other 98% for LngShot .
Continue to push back.

Me or u? All the narratives yall paint online means NOTHING in real life. Just enjoy the music and the ride. If not watch from the sidelines. Peace and love have a blessed day. Almost done with my fast 🙂
Don’t get it twisted we are forever grateful for giving them wings we just want to let them fly maybe when they are fully established they can come back to making collab, am afraid lngshot is being known as a jaypark group”now
@GemmyWhi Trying hard to patronize shotties🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️jaypark x lngshot is not clearly working we saw that in the mixtape 2 we just want lngshot to be able to stand alone like he gave them wings let them fly that’s all
@ohyulsaucin And people justifying this saying the boys want to”of course they would want to do whatever he asks,they are sirebonded(vampire diary’s term”but is it rite no Jay has his Jwalkers to protect him but who has lngshot’s back
So after watching the latest episode of Jay & Lngshot on ‘ Hiphopplaya’ and as one of the Jwalkerz & a Shottie that’s fine with their tour announcement, I urge everyone who haven’t seen it to watch the episode once it gets released with subs (it’ll probably be out in a week to 2 weeks?) for a better understanding as to why the boys are going with Jay on his tour cause they talk about it.
Don’t get me wrong, I get both sides from the unhappy Jwalkerz and the unhappy Shotties. And I get some Shotties just being genuinely concerned for the boys overworking and all but they’re in it for themselves. They’re doing it cause they like it and they knew they’ll be hustling when they signed up for Jay’s company. Also as a long time fan of Jay what Jay’s doing is nothing new his always been like this. He always did this with his khh artists. It’s interesting how the kpop stans are thrown off by the ways Jay and the boys are moving & doing things but it’s understandable since it’s unusual from your typical kpop ways. But Lngshot is not your typical kpop group right? They said that from the start.
My understanding as to why they’re going on this tour was that
1. Jay is trying to teach & let the boys experience many things while they’re still together & they’re still rookies for the last time cause Jay will be taking a long break ( he never had one) after this and timing wise, it’s now or never cause once they get bigger and famous in the future they can’t do it then.
2. The boys are actually not focused on the fans rn per se. They’re focused on their artistic growth. They know they’ll gather more fans in the future so as of right now they’re just working & hustling for themselves & their music.
3. For the love of god, the boys are NOT prioritizing on the awards or the ROTY. It’s their wish but that’s not their priority. There is a difference. Some of these shotties are either mixing that up or thinking that is the boys priority but it’s not. It’s YOURS.
The boys are not your typical kpop group, they’re more than that. They’re trying to be real artists so I’m hoping people can see that and support their ways even if you don’t like it or understand it.
“The boys are lucky”you want us to worship him or something yes we are greatful but don’t act like he doesn’t benefit more from the tour with them been his curtain risers,he knows it and you know it too just don’t want to admit it
depois querem reclamar do jay park como ceo, vão tomar no cu quem falou mal dele, o cara trazendo os meninos pra uma tour gigante e que passa no Brasil sendo que eles acabaram de debutar! isso nunca aconteceu antes, os meninos tem sorte de ter um pai igual ele
What if lngshot second cb comes out even more successful instead of doing their only tour they be stuck headlining his 🤦🏽♀️man this is messed up unless they don’t think too much will come out of it which is also not good
His strategy is really working cose being thankful to small things like this yet sabotaging the group kudos to him 👍really shameful to shotties though cose lngshot deserve better
tbh i really felt thankful to dpn for always giving the spotlight to our lngshot (while he sits behind), hope one day our boys can get the recognition they deserve and became one of his best legacies
Am not a fan of lngshot going on tour with jaypark but whatever they need to build there only fan base not riding on Jwalkers,I really have more hatred for morevision each passing day like that’s how they want them to be nugus always
Constructive criticism alert I think woojin is good but he cracks a lot during live especially with moonwalking he’s always a second late I don’t know whether it’s the ear pads or his emotions getting the best of him.lets go woojin fighting !!!
