Just a small text with my friend about how runseokjin tour helped me get through a time when I wanted to disappear (ꏿ﹏ꏿ;)
When I say "Jin saved me", I truly mean it
I hope he knows how meaningful his tour is (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)♡
1) no one is attacking jin
2) we know jin worked so hard last year for echo and his album and tour and that’s actually the point here!
2) no one is angry at jin for not writing songs, because he actually did write and worked on some songs even though he was on tour. I feel many of you either don’t know that or are choosing to omit that for the sake of your argument
People are upset that he still managed to work on songs even though he toured but he ended up getting no credit on the album. Jin always writes and wants his songs picked, he always does, that’s why he said the best part of Echo was writing the lyrics. It could have been a coincidence but at some point everyone involved noticed that only 6/7 were included. 4/7 members writing songs would look better than 6/7, that simply looks BAD.
Does being upset over this equate to saying jin didn’t contribute? Absolutely not. Jin was involved with vocals, with the concepts, with everything else, and we will hype him up for that, he’s worked so hard on this comeback. But the subject here is SONGWRITING. People are upset over this and how bad 6/7 looks, if Jin came and said he himself did not want to have a single lyric of his involved we would immediately understand and wouldn’t be upset, but so far people do have the right to feel bad seeing 6/7 when all the public current proof we have is that he did in fact participate but ended up with no credits, and if everything was already done when he got there, whatever he worked on should have been included, even 1 line, because looking at the huge list of songwriters, its not like everyone contributes long lyrics anyway.
If this doesn’t bother you, that’s ok. That is you, in my opinion, the right thing to do was make sure the album contained songs where everyone wrote enough to have credits, because this is their big comeback. That is the opinion of many and you are free to have yours.
lastly, many people are saying that he worked hard and songwriting isn’t end all or that important. Yes we know he worked hard on this album, who says he didn’t. But the credits are important, let’s not lie to ourselves. There is a reason they are released to the public, and if they weren’t important army wouldn’t be making graphs on who did which songs and bragging about their biases working on a certain number of songs, so let’s not lie now.
