This may sound controversial but the reason 4th gen is worse is bc they keep debuting younger & younger idols & they have less time to cultivate their vocals & know what it means to sing in a grp outside their own…like they’re objectively worse bc they’ve had less time to learn
kmedia really does not know how much of a Bruno Mars fanboy youngjae is ... I can assure you reporters, Youngjae wasn't thinking of the "privileged access allegations" or whatever they were called.... Youngjae's just a fan who really wanted to see his hyung! come on man!
I know people are like “why are the GOT7 boys acting like they're so old” when they say they can't do Hard Carry... But you have to remember the level of physical activity they were doing was really hard on their bodies. (+)
I know everyone is like GOT7, you're famous omg. But y'all have to realize that GOT7 (and Abyss) is probably putting in their own cash and although sad for us, they're better off selling out and having to produce more than being out cash because they didn't sell all the stock.
What still bothers me at this point is that BamBam is being othered. “his foreigner way” is wrong and that the k-fans were right he should be “educated.”
There’s racial microagressions toward BamBam being hidden w/ these “can’t we get along tweets” and that doesn’t sit right. +
It’s a shame that NingNing’s bravery to talk about something she’s overcome has been completely overshadowed by y’all wanting to dunk BamBam because he didn’t have a “perfect response”. If y’all cared about normalizing discussion about this the tweets would center her.
Why are fourth gen stans so annoying and keep asking “people still listen to GOT7/Shinee/other old gen group goes here.”
Stans really think careers only last a few years huh?
Hope they get their own medicine when fifth gen stans ask the same thing about their own faves.
who are some of your favorite voices in kpop? idc if it's based on technique or simply their vocal color, just who makes you go in awe when they sing !!
Also other fandoms (especially THAT fandom) will use this to be rude to GOT7 and Ahgase. Don't take the bait. The fact it doesn't count doesn't change how engaged Ahgases we're and what WE did achieve. Don't punch low, focus on the fight ahead.
Ahgases are 100% valid with their feelings. I also get that BamBam still has to maintain a career for himself — and keep GOT7 visible in Korea w/ Youngjae while JJP are in the military — and like it or not JYP is still a figure in kpop. So I get the move toward civility.
This "Sorn (formerly of CLC) helped BamBam get more money" discourse got me into a rabbit hole. After spending FAR too much time reading, I think I got a handle of the situation. [thread]
More specifically twitter gutted their PR and Marketing team globally, which included the employees in Korea.
These would be the folks who likely coordinated things with entertainment companies and kpop groups.
Let me remind y'all Choi Youngjae is living his best life and doesn't give a shit about not being with JYP -- who literally always did him dirty--- so y'all can stop with that narrative any day now
She’s an influencer and it didn’t occur to her someone mighty screenshot her close friends story?!
Anyway it’s a good reminder that anything you post online is never private so don’t post anything you think could end up public.
also fucking bold to think got7 members aren't thinking about their vision/plans/ideas. they're creative people. just because they aren't laying their plans out for you in a magazine doesn't mean they aren't thinking about stuff.
If your expectation is two-three comebacks a year as a group, yeah I guess GOT7 is "struggling" but as soloists and a group they literally have enough songs in 2022 that would be the equivalent of 10+ mini albums. So yeah they're not struggling, man.
Honestly ahgases should be thrilled to see all the members thriving, exploring their art, trying new things and just being able to have more say in their careers in general. I legit do not understand the excessive discourse as of late. :/
BamBam is the reason I'm in this fandom and have a stan twt account and will buy Jinyoung's solo album in January. He's done more for the fandom than you akgaes EVER will.
And people say this man’s already fantastic face card is even better in person. Oh man, I probably wouldn’t know how to react if I saw it before my eyes.
Being an ahgase or a part of an ahgase subfandom entitles you to nothing but the chance to order albums and go to concerts.
It does not entitle you to speak about their personal decisions, whether they want to drink or not or whether they want to be shirtless or not.
That was so fun! (Albeit too short 😭) I basically spent my call practicing my Korean and told Youngjae my goal was to learn enough to understand his radio show without translation. And he responded with “Fighting!” 🥹😍
Some Thai arsonists/ahgases really think they have a chokehold on youngjae (and the other got7 members) and rather him/they continue putting all his focus and attention on them rather than him gaining widespread popularity huh
Was thinking that people are reacting to edited clips on Twitter and we’ve seen that some people REALLY edit it to make BamBam look worse than he actually does.
It’s really clear that some people have strong confirmation bias that they refuse to put in check.
Bambam's comments in the YouTube video are all positive and thanking him for making Ningning Comfortable. Hating BB for no reason simply bcz u hate him is absurd and unreasonable. He doesn't deserve it.

Honestly at this point I’m gonna stop engaging with these trash got7 takes. No qrts not even a screen shot. Don’t ask me to point them out. That’s the point — gonna stop bringing attention to them because that’s exactly what people want is amplification of their trash takes.
I too value people paying for my work but clearly you missed the whole banter vibe and that’s what happens when you try to enter a conversation you weren’t a part of.
So BamBam says it was a negative thing: he means he didn’t want it to be a distraction to his activities in Korea.
It was not a pass for you akgaes for the grief and harassment you gave him (and his fans).
Y’all keep missing the part where Jinyoung checked on him.
Even if there are better examples of Jinyoung’s vocals, you could have scrolled on what was actually a nice fan saying something they love about their fave instead of being a jerk.
It’s really similar to young athletes. The level of activity so intense that they end up really struggling with their bodies and having to rebuild from injuries and pain. 😔
Speaking as a mom to an elementary school aged kid who loves cyj, my theory:
— kids thrive in routine and structure, his radio show is on every night
— he has a comforting voice that draws people to him
— he is encouraging and kids draw off that energy!
— the Pokémon :)
No but in all seriousness, what’s with
#Youngjae
and his growing pack of elementary student fans. He has this hold in them that there is always another new kid in Best Friend telling they love Youngjae 😭😭😭
BamBam is multilingual and he has served in global roles around the world. He knows how to handle himself in different situations. The idea that he’s supposed to be “serious” to be taken seriously is ridiculous.
"you would do the same" like no actually I wouldn't, I wouldn't follow jinki to the AIRPORT where he's heading home after a PRIVATE schedule while he's still on HIATUS.
Time to expose myself as old af yet again
So thirty one at debut (debut was before my birthday that year) and forty now. (Feel free to unfollow if you’re uncomfortable with this!)
Selfies from those respective periods heheheheheheh
I've seen quite a few people drag GOT7 for catering to the fan base in their group/individual activities post-JYP. Which is crazy cause marketing 101 would tell you that's exactly who you would want to mobilize first.
Basically the only people that took issue with his tweet was specifically portion of Jinyoung’s fan base. It was not the general public even of Korea or the international audience. It wasn’t even the people who made the movie.
one addition: in all the numerous novels today about why “we should move on” not a single apology, consideration how BamBam was negatively affected. Not an even fucking thank you for his courtesy. This resolution is one sided and the burden was unfairly all on BamBam.
Be the change you want in the world.
Therefore may I present this collage of the leading women in Youngjae’s musical and dramas from the last year.
Gonna stop the erasure here 😎
#YOUNGJAE
BamBam always 110% for his fellow members whether it's showing up on youngjae’s radio show every month or defending Jackson just now... YOU wonder akgaes why being shit to him is lame?!
