i want to talk about what happened after the release of d-2/daechwita, especially in terms of our charting on itunes.
1. first week, charting sweet night because the ost of the year prediction dropped. armys wanted to show appreciation to tae's work, so we aimed to surpass psy

2. also first week, charting mono in france because it hasn't got #1 there. d-2 already got it, and was put to #1 again after a while
3. all the hate and backlashes against yoongi, the most significant one being the sample issue. until now, he's still getting hate bc of that

4. after blm calmed down, armys started charting moon in appreciation of seokjin. other b-sides soon follow, as we push for getting more #1 especially in solo songs
let's look at point 1, 2, and 4. what do they have in common? it's the fact that armys focus was always diverted
let's look at point 1, 2, and 4. what do they have in common? it's the fact that armys focus was always diverted
from d-2 and daechwita. it's the fact that armys say, "oh sn/mono/moon are about to break records, let's push it harder!" while daechwita is still a recent solo release. i'm not trying to discredit other songs in any way. i think all their achievements are well deserved. however,
as someone who have yoongi as their bias, it seems a bit unfair to me. i'm still acknowledging armys hard work for d-2 and daechwita, but with the way we've been moving, a lot of that support is decreasing. now, yoongi's songs in terms of #1 itunes:
daechwita - 73
shadow - 21
daechwita - 73
shadow - 21
both are getting less attention than other solo songs from mots7. am i the only one seeing a problem here? i'd really hate to compare their hard work, but yoongi literally worked on both mots7 and the entirety of d-2. not to mention the mv and the promotion that he came up with.
yes i know he broke multiple records already, i'm really happy for that. but in this thread i'm talking about itunes #1, especially since it's been a huge deal among our fandom lately. the goal of #1 for daechwita isn't even reached yet. so why aren't we also focusing on that?
shouldn't we keep the same energy for him? why aren't we pushing for him to break more records as well? it's so confusing to me because no one is talking about it? am i really the only one who feels like this? even the yoongi stans in my tl are still hyping up other achievements
(as they should of course). and obviously i'm really happy about those, but there's a bitterness to it. i hate feeling this way because i want to celebrate it like you guys do, but a part of me that wants the best for yoongi is pulling me back. especially since yoongi has been
getting a lot of hate recently, from the never-ending sample issue to him being ""cocky"".
if you read all the way here and your conclusion is that i'm a solo stan or anti, you couldn't be any more wrong. if you want to think that way, go ahead. but that won't stop me from

continuing to love all the boys. am i asking too much by saying i want the best for yoongi? it's the same as tae stans wanting the best for sn, seokjinnies wanting the best for moon, joon stans for mono, etc. it's just, it hurts me a lot that no one is talking about this.
is it not worth acknowledgement? i really want to have more conversations about it, but none are happening. maybe someone will tell me i'm being selfish? greedy? maybe others will hate me for ruining the moment? i guess that's better than to completely ignoring the situation.
maybe i do need to hear that i'm being irrational, selfish, petty, and greedy. maybe i really shouldn't feel this way. in fact i've been having inner conflicts because of this. i was upset, then blamed myself for being upset, which resulted in me feeling even more miserable.
bottom line is, i just want yoongi to get all the love and appreciation he deserves. he worked hard this year for who else if not army? so please let's work harder for him too. there will be more mixtapes from other members soon, so let's support yoongi's as much as we can before
we move on to focus on the next ones. we waited four years after all, so let's make sure that yoongi knows that it was worth the wait.
please try to understand my perspective. i'm sure you have your own as well, but i'm only trying to convey my feelings. thank you for reading
