Dear Kpop stans,
You kicked us out of your little "community" in 2018. So, leave us alone.
No, we don't want to listen to your faves. No, we don't want to joke with you. No, we are not going to not completely support BTS so that your faves "have a chance".
We dgaf about Kpop!
Ryan Tedder on BTS' creative process:
— “Anyone at home that thinks that Bang or HYBE is pulling the strings on those guys? A lot of people think that. They are not. BTS is picking everything. They're writing, they're picking the songs, they pick the direction. It came directly from that group. There's no string-pulling.”
i personally feel namjoon doesn't get enough credit for his pen game. in an industry flooded with ghostwriters, where lyricism itself is dead, joon keeps proving why he's one of the greatest songwriters out there. he's a musical genius.
