BPP, am really really interested to read your thoughts on Seven!
*
Ask 2: Hey bpp, can i be honest?? Ive been checked out of the fandom but still keep track of any music releases. So i didnt know abt any rumors abt 7. Imagine me being kind of disappointed that it’s another english song from jk when i watched the mv😅 it feels like his most promoted songs since last year has been all eng song… idk i wanted & expted something diff… i didnt like l&r, dreamers and now 7… it’s back to back lol. Tbf i didnt like My You too and thats in korean. At least not enough to listen!again after the first listen.
Im happy that still with you is finally on spotify tho. I’ll still be waiting excited for his album whenever it comes out. Hopefully ill find something i like in it!!
**
[BPP Note: Both asks above were sent before my "I don't like it..." post. The asks posted below were sent afterwards.]
**
Ask 3:
Same here
All the hype didn't matched with the song
1. rest members songs had so much depth and substance to it while this was the cliche boy chasing a girl song. Like we always dont need deep songs but the quality could be so much better. This was like just another pop song.
I think I'll put this on same level as BAD DECISIONS. But for bad decisions, atleast the chorus was staying on my mind while for this nothing was catchy enough for us to humm. Just because it's JK it will get hype but otherwise it's so generic. I think I liked LEFT and RIGHT way better than Seven. Even the rap portion felt so unnecessary and boring.
2. MV was kinda nice because of the production but concept was too shallow, the stalking and chasing was so outdated. In my country we have like 9293928843837 MVs in this same concept that not many make the same theme songs again.
3. The choreography. We haven't seen the full version. But for tiktok they do the highlight portions if that's so mediocre idk how rest will be. It was again giving the same mediocre showing off choreography and for me backdancers ruined it with their awkward moves.
4. they wanted this song to be played everywhere around the world. But there was nothing catchy enough to attract gp or go viral on tiktok, even if we sped it up. The only way to make everyone listen is to shove it down their throat but doing payola. But idk if investing in payola is worthy for the song. I also doubt the longietivity, as for me it was boring after 2 listens. I'll rather listen Like Crazy or wildflower or closer 20 times than listening this once.
5. I HOPE he'll bring something fresh to the table for his album and don't involve this mediocre producers who uses the same formula and same superstar persona to make a song successful. He is so much talented to sing a song which is so rich in melody and lyrics. And he can produce way better songs by himself.
Prolly a 4/10 for me
*
Ask 4: troye sivan's rush (which also came out last night) is exactly what I wish Seven was. I don't mean that in a 'I expect the things JK to make to be gay' way just in the way it's a fun, very danceable, sexy summer song that doesn't pull its punches. Something about seven feels too run through a commercial sanitizer a few times, even with the explicit lyrics.
***
Hi Anon(s),
Jungkook likes to fuck.
Rather, Andrew Watt likes to fuck and thinks Jungkook can relate.
JK has been talking about wanting to show more mature and explicit sides of himself for a good long while now. So I’m glad he’s finally gotten to do that, confirming for us why he keeps getting noise complaints from his neighbours since the mattresses all over his apartment don't help.
BTS has made songs explicitly referring to sex before (though it's been mostly the rapline doing so). So it's nothing new but I guess it's cool JK gets to share with us that he too has sex.
The question I posed to my friends immediately after watching the MV is, “Do you know who's been doing A&R for BigHit since 2020? I really need to know who is doing A&R for BigHit in America because they’ve been doing an appalling job lately. I'm starting to wonder if it's an inside job cause this song is kinda ass.”
That was me ~11 hours ago.
I didn’t like the song.
I’ve streamed Seven about 20 times since then I think, took a break from the song for a few hours, watched his GMA performance, caught a few minutes of the Wlive, then listened to it again just before writing this post and…
I still don’t like it.
Jungkook did a good job on the song, Latto's verse wasn't terrible, and while the song itself isn’t bad… the song isn’t good either.
It’s painfully, and at this point it’s a pattern so I have to add, predictably, mediocre.
Reserving judgement for the album, but Anons, I agree with you for the most part. The suits at BigHit are trying but they are woefully out of touch with the reasons BTS blew up in the West in the first place. I don't even feel like spending any energy doing a review or even trying to explain what I mean. So I'll just ramble on for a bit but try to keep it brief.
---
I have to give BigHit some credit because I can see what they're going for here. Andrew Watt is a very celebrated producer in the US, he won the Grammy award for Producer of the Year in 2021, he's got A listers in his portfolio. So, he's not a cheap name to book and I can see why the suits at BigHit thought he's the genius to gift them a song clinically designed for American radio.
But that pandejo phoned it in. There isn't a lick of creativity to be found anywhere in all 3 minutes and five seconds.
It reminds me of VIBE by Jimin and Taeyang, as the closest analog to the vague dissatisfaction morphing into annoyance and then pragmatic rationalization I experienced in that same sequence when listening to it the first few times.
The song is disappointing because we've all heard it before. Too many times, and we're bored of it. We've heard JK sing this sort of song for years, as covers mostly. So on one hand, while I guess it's nice JK gets to have an American summer JB-reject pop tune of his own, it's not good enough to be the track that introduces him to the world as a solo artist.
It's fine for any white, blonde, blue-eyed heartthrob that can ride on a pretty face and implicit bias to rack up accolades, it's not good enough for Jungkook.
And BigHit needs to start using whatever leverage a US$10.6 billion market capitalization buys you in Hollywood, to insist for songs that are at least as good as the songs made by BTS members and produced by their in-house team. It's a waste of money and everybody's time to fly a battalion to LA just to record 2014's summer hit in 2023.
In my opinion.
Still With You > Stay Alive > My Time > Stay > Left & Right > My You > Dreamers > Seven
*
All that said, I can't ignore JK has a taste for songs like this, and it's not his fault the song is shit (he didn't write, compose or produce it), so technically he shouldn't be punished for it. And the song is made for radio, while it's not my personal taste a lot of people really like the song (one of my friends likes Seven the most out of all the BTS releases so far), and it will catch on with some support. So, ARMY will support it including me, just to a lesser degree than I've done so far. Fingers crossed JJK1 has something solid on it.

Enhypen members reacting to your MV (y/n as a soloist)
‧͙⁺˚*・༓☾ Jungwon
Tumblr media
Jungwon is going to wake you up at least one hour before the MV release, he's going to be very curious and nervous, probably even more than you. He wraps his arms around your shoulders and plays the MV on the TV. From the very beginning, when your silhouette shows on the video, he's going to shake you out of excitement. "That's you!!!" he would scream. Jungwon scream every time you show up, literally he would go crazy. Once the video ends he would be like "let's watch it again" and even if you'd feel embarrassed and shy, you would let him do it because you love him being this proud of you.
‧͙⁺˚*・༓☾ Heeseung
Tumblr media
There's a 99% chance he wanted to assist you during the MV shooting, he wanted to help you and give you his support while you were filming, but when he sees the actual MV he would be like: "how did they even edit this MV? You were so perfect from the beginning until the end, I would've gone crazy choosing the best parts". Also expect him to watch it again at anytime of the day, like during lunch, dinner, breakfast...
‧͙⁺˚*・༓☾ Jay
Tumblr media
Just like Heeseung, I'm pretty sure Jay would attend the MV shooting to see how you're doing. He's buying you drinks and snacks so you eat and drink during the shooting and every time you finish a scene, he would land a kiss on your cheeks to tell you you did a great job. While actually seeing the MV after its release, he's going "oh! OHHH! Wow..." the whole time. "This is SERIOUSLY the most amazing thing I've ever seen!" He says, clapping his hands.
‧͙⁺˚*・༓☾ Jake
Tumblr media
Jake will make sure he's your no.1 fan and he won't accept otherwise. He's getting prepared for the debut day with pickets, banners and probably a shirt with your concept photos on, screaming like a fangirl watching the MV. You look at him being so excited and cute that he's making you laugh the whole time. "Did you see how perfect the MV is? I'm shocked, my baby has done such a good job!" He's saying while hugging you. He would treat you a good dinner to celebrate your debut and give you compliments for the next weeks.
‧͙⁺˚*・༓☾ Sunghoon
Tumblr media
Sunghoon's going to be the critical one, he would say things like "they didn't how 100% how beautiful and talented you are, I should've filmed it instead". You would just laugh and hit him. Even if he's so so proud of you and loves how you looked in the MV, he will just: "I'm so annoyed, I won't watch this MV ever again" and then you'll find him streaming your video while you're sleeping. "I was just checking the views" he would say. "For three hours?"
‧͙⁺˚*・༓☾ Sunoo
Tumblr media
Sunoo will attend the mv filming and the shooting for your album, there will be no debut promos you're doing without him. He's following you everywhere and if you need something, he's getting it. You're thirsty? He's getting fresh water. You're sweating? He's bringing you a fan. He's also screaming for the whole MV. Like, very loudly. Sunoo's going to be amazed by your talent and visuals and just like Jake, he's going to be your no.1 fan and if you ever feel like you're not doing good enough, he will make sure you recognize your talent.
‧͙⁺˚*・༓☾ Niki
Tumblr media
Niki doesn't want to get spoilers for the MV, so he's supporting you through texts and when you come back home he would just hug you and tell you you did great. He wanted you to surprise him with the MV, and so you did. While watching the MV he would be like "omg is that you for real?" "I think you're my ultimate" and "that's my girl!" (He would scream the last one multiple times). He's hugging you patting your head and telling you you were amazing and he's sure you'll become very famous in the future. "Don't forget about me when you become a million seller superstar".

pairing: justin bieber x sza
summary: in which two superstars announce their relationship to the world
author's note: this music video did something to me, i needed to do this. so Hailey is not the picture, no Jelena (the relationship is DONE), SZA is not a pathological liar here, just vibes. (no Hailey slander or Hailey vs Selena debate allowed. Again, just vibes)
word count: 584
[📍64th Annual Grammy Awards]
“And the Grammy goes to…” Avril Lavigne spoke to the microphone before opening the envelope and reading the names
“Kiss Me More, Doja Cat featuring SZA”
The beautiful black woman walked up to the stage walking as slowly as possible since Doja had taken a toilet break at the wrong time. The both of them gave a little speech before going back to sit down.
The ceremony ended and all the celebrities stood up, going to a private space to leave. As she left the room, her eyes came in contact with a certain someone’s eyes. As if they had had a conversation through their irises, he left the room, Solana following him discreetly to a dark hallway.
“What are we doing he-” She was cut off by some hands wrapping around her waist.
“J, someone could see us” Solana informed constantly looking around to see if anyone was there.
“But they’re not here right now”
His tattooed hand grabbed her jaw, bringing their faces closer until their lips collided. Her arms surrounded his neck as their heads tilted, deepening their kiss. Minutes into them making out, she softly pulled him away, laughing at his frustration.
“Wait at least until we’re back to the hotel” Solana completely got away from his grip. “Can’t risk seeing us on tomorrow’s front pages”
“Imagine: SZA and Justin Bieber caught doing it at the Grammys”
Justin and Solana had met at a celebrity birthday party years ago. They grew friends as they healed from past relationships, helping one another. It all changed when Justin invited her for a date at his house since they didn’t want to be seen in public. She gladly accepted, leading to them spending the night talking, a glass of alcohol in their hands. Months after, they officialized their relationship, choosing to keep it private. To the public, Solana was SZA, this voluptuous woman, talented singer and Justin, the world’s favorite it boy.
“Yeah, can’t let this happen”
“I have to congratulate you on your Grammy though” He sent her a smirk as she avoided eye contact.
“Guess you’ll have to wait, babe”
Solana walked off going back to her team and preparing to leave.
✼  ҉  ✼  ҉  ✼
[📍Hotel]
Solana just got back from the after-party. She entered her hotel room and immediately kicked her heels off. She fell flat on her bed before hearing the door open. A smile appeared, already knowing who it was.
Justin lay down on the bed as Solana, got on top of him, straddling him.
He didn’t waste any time to kiss her, ready to spend the night close to her.
[📍Studio]
Solana sat in her studio listening to different instrumentals. None of them inspired her anything, resulting in her scrolling on Instagram, barely concentrating on her music. A notification popped, which drew her attention.
JB
I just had a dream about u
Sol
And what happened?
JB
can’t text you that 😏
Solana liked his text before finally noticing the beat that was playing.
“Hey, put that on repeat, I like that one” She spoke to her engineer as he did so. She took her notepad and a pen to write lyrics.
I can’t lose when I’m with you

One thing I'll admit to being surprised on with this album is the (sort of) anti-marriage messaging. Normally that wouldn't surprise me about anyone - I mean who cares if a woman wants to get married or not!! - but with Taylor, who wrote so much about fairytales and marriage in her previous discography, it honestly does surprise me that it seems that marriage is no longer something she's interested in. Bejeweled video seemed to nail the message home.
i think it's less anti-marriage, and more anti-the expectation that a lot of women modern generations (myself included) struggle with--this idea that, as a woman, you are expected to get married, have babies, etc. and how that often means, even for superstar celebrities, that you are also expected to prioritize that and put your own ambitions and life on hold.
i'm still working through my thoughts on this, but i think paper rings, peace, ttds, champagne problems, and several songs on midnights now, express 1) a deep love for joe that doesn't require marriage, because it's just paper, 2) a bittersweet reflection on how she wasn't able to experience a "normal" traditional life--she chose her own ambition, and now can never have that again because of that ambition/her fame.
we know she feels her childhood was pretty idyllic, and that she longs to return to it (christmas tree farm.) we also know she feels some resentment and fear about whether she can provide anyone in her life normalcy and security (peace, the infamous "no one's going to sign up for this" interview quote, what she said to aaron about the elephant in the room during the long pond sessions.) she feels very proud of her success ("i am a rich man" quote in the yntcd mv) and doesn't want to dim her shine or make herself smaller for anyone ever again (i did something bad.)
the message i'm hearing from her is that marriage isn't the end-all be-all, and tbh i don't think any reasonable fans on here were suggesting it was. it was something she wanted for a long time (in her art) because she thought that was the pinnacle of love and romance, but as she got older, life/reality/ambition/etc. showed her that's not really the case.
so to me she's not someone who doesn't want to get married, it's just not the pinnacle of personal success for her, and she resents the implication that it should be. not only is it deeply offensive to imply that she will only be a real woman (to refer to that vulture piece) or truly "successful" when she becomes a wife and mother... but it's not how taylor sees herself. her ambitions are larger than being a wife and mother.
could marriage and motherhood still be part of her life? i think so. but it's insulting to suggest that her artistic and other personal ambitions should be secondary.

My newest thoughts...
I've been doing some intense thinking while I've been away. While watching Jk's lastest live, everything got connected inside my brain.
So back on 7/7, I had some sort of epiphany while answering an ask and I came up with the following theory.
(I deleted the post because damn Dewunkim has gotten on my nerves and I saw her reblog it. So if anyone has this in their reblogs, could you all send it to me? Thaaanks!)
Anyway, this is what I remember thinking:
If Jikook is together, they were told to lay low because they don't want it to be known that Jk is gay. That would ruin his chance to become a superstar.
It wasn't for military enlistment purposes.
Jikook continues to be spotted in Korea but is not seen by international fans.
Jimin is queer but also Jk. Is it possible that the company retaliated because Jimin's album was queer coded and he has been queer coding his stuff since a while back?
I feel like the stuff that's been happening lately has been confirming my theory:
•Portrayal of Jk as a straight male in Seven mv.
Tumblr media
Not much happening in that mv. Boring, tbh. No chemistry although I do think that Jk and Sohee are friends now but the romantic chemistry isn't there.
There is that also that disconnect where the more explicit lyrics dont match the mv.
Tumblr media
"It's the way that we can ride" and it shows a spaghetti plate? I could have shown...other things.
The song has a funeral scene with Jk being funny in a coffin. Be for real.
With lyrics like that you could have a really sensual and sexual fun mv. Pillowtalk meets Butter. But we got a comedic mv instead.
So maybe Jk is has no problem singing sex songs and pronouns but he draws the line at physical contact?
And for the love of the gods, I can't possibly see a connection between this mv/song and Jimin. That's insulting to me.
A song about a straight guy singing to a girl is for Jimin? Not for me. Never. Don't insult jikook or Jimin like that. Not everything has to be connected.
•Jk's Weverse Interview
He states:

I saw sooo many jikookers saying that the company was imposing this image on Jk and poor Jk blah blah and a few days before his weverse interview, I told a friend "Maybe this is how he wants to be seen. As a het male."
And there is nothing wrong with that! He can be seen as straight cool sexy Jk. Let him be and stop making excuses for normal things.
But the main point to take from this is that he is on his way to being a superstar. Being boyffie to Jimin does not help so they had to hide that. Lay low.
Knowing what we know about Jimin and how private he is, I imagine he was totally on board with laying low for the eyes of international fans. He is also selfless to a fault and he would like to see Jk achieve his dreams. This I strongly believe.
And also, a real couple doesn't need an audience. They are not a spectacle. So laying low is a win win.
•Jk's weverse live on 21/7
Basically telling the fans that he will do as he pleases so get ready because he has grown.
Tumblr media
He wants to be the superstar Jk and for people to recognize it. Being baby star candy will not get him the recognition.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I feel like Jk knows quite well of his popularity outside of Korea. Even if the stuff he releases is not liked in Korea, international fans will support it.
International fans need the provocative. They won't judge and scrutinize the way Korean fans do. In fact, he will be embraced and loved the more sex he sells.
He will up the fan service. Y/n rejoice!
And it's obvious that the main focus of his promo was not Korea.
Tumblr media
The target is a western market where not being queer is more profitable. Where soft masculinity is laughed at.
Tumblr media
He's letting the softies know. Take it as a warning, softies lol
People think that his tattoo doesn't fit with his words now but Jk has always been like this. He just wasn't vocal about it.
Tumblr media
While his tattoo says that he rather be dead than cool, I feel Jk hasn't quite found himself yet and tries the things that he thinks will make him look cool while still remaining unbothered about being cool. But we know that's not true.
So for me, all of this also confirms that Jk knows exactly what he is doing. He knows how this looks and how this is playing out.
He knows about the business, even if he stated in his weverse interview that he leaves that to the pros. A guy thats been in this 10 years and he doesn't look into how his promo will play out? Not believable.
That sounded like damage control by the company to meeeeeee....
In terms of jikook: They seem to be fine. Jimin went to NY to support Jk but not Seven. He "forgot" his password. He was also letting the softies know that he won't post.
I cannot for the love of the gods come up with a theory on why Jk is ok with getting all this nice promo while Jimin got nothing.
The whole "he is doing it for both of them" doesn't really make sense to me. Maybe I'll get the answer to this in a dream or while answering a random post.
So obviously, the whole "they are laying low for military enlistment" never made sense to me. Who even came up with that?
And why are we repeating theories with absolutely nothing to back them up like the common taekooker?
Anyways, hope I made sense!
Ah, if you happen to find a blog out there in the wild where it sounds like me, that's because it is me. My thoughts are looser there. Don't say hi if you are going to bother me.
Oh, and hello. I guess I'm back.
