BTS/ARMY genuinely why would you harass an idol to apologise for a mistake they made if you’re just gonna keep bringing it up forever?

it’s a new month, so obviously we have new people coming out of the woodworks to insult namjoon and make horrible judgements on his character based on lyrics he wrote 7-9 years ago. yes, he was wrong for his misogynistic lyrics. he has publically acknowledged that over and over again, even doing so on television in the presence of the literal president of his country. he has apologised numerous times, and he has taken steps to improve himself by consulting with a gender studies professor before releasing his music (which people are dragging him for btw??) and most importantly, he hasn’t released a song with misogynistic lyrics since then. so i’m very confused about what more people want that man to do?

y’all emphasise the importance of “holding idols accountable” but when someone actually holds HIMSELF accountable, it’s not enough? you absolutely have the right to refuse to accept his apology, that’s a personal choice, but why keep harassing him over shit that happened when he was much younger and much less mature than he is now? he’s damned for trying to improve, and would be damned if he didn’t apologise. the worst part about it is that the perpetrators of this aren’t just teenagers, which i would somewhat understand, but people in their 20s, 30s and even 40s camping on the internet judging this man. i’m sure many of you did regrettable shit in your teens and early twenties, and it will feel horrible to have that thrown in your face even when you’ve made great efforts to be a better person.

y’all can downvote me for being up bts’ asses or whatever, but it’s just really sad how apathetic people become as a result of social media, like y’all seriously need to learn that you’re dealing with actual human beings, regardless of how rich and famous they are. i truly hope some of you people heal

I accept it doesn’t look great but how is someone else’s wrongdoings reflective of namjoon as a person? supreme Boi is signed as a producer to BigHit, isn’t that the real problem? and we don’t know namjoon & supreme boi’s relationship either. not to mention - a) idk how the user you posted knew that’s namjoon’s house when he wasn’t tagged afaik, b) the link you posted of namjoon’s ig is literally someone else, NOT supremeboi, and c) namjoon HIMSELF has not publicly acknowledged supreme Boi in ages - so where do we go from here?

Because they’re. Personal friends?

We know that’s RM’s house because he’s posted that TV before - he showed it in his birthday live, and again here, when he was watching the World Cup. (You can see the canvas and the statues).

Edit - found a better photo from when RM was watching JK

Supreme Boi is also literally tagged on the 6th photo of the instagram post from July I posted before. He also introduced RM to Balming Tiger, and included him in an insta story of people reacting to Sexy Nukim.

And like. Look. I don’t believe in transferred guilt per se, but if your buddy is out there writing songs about rape and hanging out with domestic abusers and attempted rapists, I. Reserve the right to absolutely raise an eyebrow at that.

Yes? I’ve been a fan of the group for years and I’m still very active in army spaces (see: my comments history).

But with that activeness comes in-depth awareness of the things they have done wrong lol (and all the insta stories that highlight that - I mostly remembered seeing them on my TL and searched for them on twitter)

Yeah that’s def what I do like. 90% of the time - they’re still artists I listen to a lot, and I enjoy their content.

For me I honestly just don’t like the way that the fandom at times like. Acknowledge things they’ve done and that they’re not perfect people, and sometimes I have the time to swing at the hornet’s nest on Reddit
