Amazon, Microsoft and Alphabet's Google have each recently abandoned construction of multibillion-dollar data centers over community opposition and now the companies are coming under shareholder pressure over the environmental impact of their projects. https://t.co/XOGC3lhFok
kissing LA producers ass when them alone can make better tracks than this in their sleep. They’ve done tracks with American producers/ lyricists before but this time I believe they took advantage of a hiatus and easily got in their ears. #BTS
HYBE’s shares down 16% today, after a heavily-promoted comeback concert by K-pop megastars BTS drew a smaller crowd than authorities initially expected.

I keep seeing comments and reviews from actual level-headed veteran fans of theirs that perhaps the reason why the newest album feels disjointed and not cohesive is because the members have spent time apart because of the military and their separate solo projects.
Maybe group dynamics differ for different artists, but the thing is—I’ve loved artists who have now reunited post-enlistment and they and their music are fundamentally still the same.
MONSTA X still sound the same. BTOB still sound the same. DAY6 still sound the same. SHINee still sound the same.
And it’s not even in the sense that their music didn’t change or evolve, because all these artists did expand and explore with their discography over time. But what fundamentally never changed with each of them is their unique identity as artists, which remained solid as a group even as each of them also developed their own artistry as soloists.
I think what it comes down to is that this specific group has always had trouble pinning down what their actual identity is, because even their past music constantly and continuously grappled with asking themselves who they really are.
And that difficulty in embracing their identity shows even more so now.
I think it isn’t really because they have trouble unifying their group identity after a period of separation—but rather because they never really knew exactly what their identity was even before separation, so they never really had anything to come back to in the first place.
And yes the guys should have acknowledged the FULL history of Arirang and Howard university. I think we all should agree with that. Instead it was HEAVILY white washed. #BTS_ARİRANG
This k-media article quoted below addresses the Arirang trailer's inaccurate depiction of Howard University and spoke to Black ARMYs for their pov.
Give it a read. @BIGHIT_MUSIC@bts_bighit

just so we're all aware, the price of 1 lightstick could provide:
- a meal kit for a palestinian family
- enough feminine hygiene kits to last a palestinian half a year
- an entire emergency medical kit for a palestinian family
Hello my american followers if you are against having your government ID attached to literally all your online activity (or even just downloading apps) please blow up your politicians phones about this. These laws haven't passed in the past due to unpopularity!!!!!
I’m calling out to ARMY who are praising Ryan Tedder to be aware of his background and the things he stands for. He is a known zionist and deep rooted in lots of HYBE works.
Please join us on March 9TH to protest his continuous work with HYBE artist! #HYBEdivestfromzionism
https://t.co/MUhm5kwDXc is a useful site that lists products/brands you can search to see if they are included in the boycott AND the sub brands that they also run. Always prioritise the high impact boycotts and if you can't donate, do your part in boycotting.
atp it’s clear bighit/hybe is trying to integrate ai more in regular content & i think it’s especially important that we keep pushing back because a company whose whole foundation started as “music and artists for healing” should not be taking the lazy way to push their artists
