And another thing.....
Ed Sheeran saying "it's the worst week of his life" while Palestinian children are actively dying, is the epitome of white male tears.
to everyone (specially armytwt) who said artists speaking up against genocide wouldn’t change a thing: do you see what’s happening today? macklemore has been speaking up from the beginning, look what’s happening now. if everyone used their platforms like this imagine the impact.
"música é música, trabalho é trabalho" a não ser q eu tenha q discursar na unicef e montar a minha imagem em cima de pautas importantes só pra descartar tudo dps que enriquecer.
sério, que decepção, não acredito que eu passei 12 anos da minha vida acreditando numa mentira.
i'm gonna be honest, i have no words left to say with this whole namseok thing, it changed my whole perspective to the whole group, the moment they chose to be silent instead of speaking up, i am left with nothing but an empty words from them.
well @BTS_twt@HYBEOFFICIALtwt since work is work and yours is to entertain me for what i paid for, that makes me your customer, and as a customer now im asking for coherence on what your brand has been selling me for years 🫵🏻.
To Namjoon,
You had the clearest opportunity today to address the Chris Brown situation and you chose not to.
So I’m not going to keep asking you to talk about it. Your silence is an answer in itself even if it’s not the answer many of us wanted.
What I still find frustrating is the idea that we should simply “separate the art from the artist.” How are we supposed to do that when you spent years making your art so deeply connected to who you are, what you believe in, and the values you publicly shared with us?
You didn’t just give us music. You gave us your words, your beliefs, and your perspective. You asked us to listen to what you had to say about the world. That connection was part of what made your art meaningful to so many of us.
And if those messages were only something you used to sell records, while you privately believe something completely different, then that makes the situation even more absurd and sick. It would mean that the values people connected with were just a performance and that the person behind the art was never really present in it at all.
So when your actions contradict the values we associated with you, of course that changes how some of us experience your work. That isn’t hate. It isn’t “being an anti.” It’s a natural consequence of seeing the person behind the art contradict those values.
You are free to make your choices. But we are equally free to decide what those choices mean to us.
And honestly, telling people to separate the art from the artist feels less like maturity and more like avoiding an uncomfortable reality.
I’m not asking you for an apology anymore.
I just wonder whether the values you spent years talking about still mean what I thought they meant.
Today, you had the opportunity to tell us.
You chose silence.
