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.
They dont want me to be outspoken and stand up for myself cause the real deal is here watch they eyes while they look in fear. The lyrics all come from experience. Built something for myself always shared it kept it solid while never switchin up. Family and day ones all still with me. Didnt get lost in this crazy ass industry stood the test for time. They just want me to shut up and jiggle
My pecs lol. Try to cut me down and demean me but im just too solid. U wont win 🤷♂️
Taemin keeps accumulating firsts! On June 28th he will make history as the first Kpop male soloist to perform at BST Hyde Park. With this announcement he also becomes the first 2nd gen Kpop artist invited to a major UK music festival #Taemin#태민#TaeminAccolades
@HateCrave lol. We pray. Not because I hate the group. I hate their fandom (the cuckoo ones, and there are so many) and what they have done to the kpop spaces

It’s like when it comes to Taemin, every K-pop stan suddenly seems to have something to say… but often based on misinformation. Taemin in 2026 so far:
•Taemin sold out his Las Vegas concert in just 10 minutes and he is the first K-pop artist to perform Dolby Live
•First K-pop soloist to receive a dedicated exhibit at the Grammy Museum and by popular demand,it’s extended
•Digital single ‘Permission’ enters Billboard’s World Digital Song Sales chart at #5 (barely any promo)
•Permission debuts at #17 on Worldwide iTunes Song Chart
•Long Way Home debuts at #22 on the Worldwide iTunes Song Chart (again less promo)
•He entered the U.S. Top 40 Radio Airplay Charts with his first English single “Long Way Home”
•He appeared at the Grammy Museum’s “Global Spin Live”
•First Korean male solo artist to perform at Coachella. He showed 6 new songs there and TAEMCHELLA ranked No. 2 on X’s real time trends in both the U.S. and worldwide, a feat rarely achieved by a Korean male solo artist
•He appeared on The Jennifer Hudson Show
•1st K-Pop artist to perform "In the Paint" on NBA Nightcap
•He has performed at festivals and will continue to do so, because as he said years ago, he wants to meet fans all around the world. It is rare to find a soloist who performs in as many different countries as Taemin does.
On top of all that, he made TV appearances,gave magazine interviews, appeared as a guest on radio programs,fansign and prepared for SHINee’s album and concert..
18 years into their career, #SHINee (@SHINee) prove that artistic identity never goes out of style.
#Atmos is ambitious and packed with the confidence of a group that knows exactly who they are!
