what irks me the most is how they HAD the space to add the individual interviews but chose instead to make it into a whole industry promotion catalogue which undermines the entire point of highlighting bts’ philosophy and artistry and reinforces the othering of asian artists

joon protected us adorable representatives from having our government name being exposed and called us a team and that we charge each other’s batteries, that’s so cute
336
a few performances on jpn tv music specials and there’s a huge chance of butter permanently staying on top of the charts for the entire year like dynamite
337
keep in mind that most jarmys don’t do our own listening parties, nor is there rlly a culture of (constant) streaming & playlisting .... this record is insane twitter.com/btschartdata/s…
338

they’re at a point where collabs generally benefit the other artist more in terms of engagements and global exposure, it stops becoming a fun conversation when their treatment is drastically different from the collaborator
350
yeah I don’t like how interviewers always act like it’s a “dream come true” for bangtan to do a collab with a western artist, implies very condescending connotations
