Wow she’s brilliant but also I hate supporting her, torn on this a bit
No strong opinions on MHJ but quite aware of the criticisms about her. I’m a relatively newer K-pop fan so many of the stuff mentioned about her are before my time. I am dreading the unnecessary discourse that will follow because of this, especially since V is the one who specifically requested her.
All the best to Tae though! Can’t believe we only have 1 solo member launch left. Time flies when we’re having fun, haha!
I have the same stance on this as JK’s solo with Scooter involvement…love the amazing opportunity being given to tannies but don’t like the people associated
It’s complicated, but it still hasn’t dampened my enthusiasm for what’s to come from Taehyung, I’m really excited to see what he’s got in store for us 😁💜
Such terrible news. Been waiting for Taehyung’s album for so long, and he decides to work with that filth.
Ummmmmm…
As someone who’s pretty insulated from k-pop news, I only knew about MHJ through her work with NewJeans (whose output I somewhat grudgingly enjoy lol, some of the time).
But now that I see what the concerns stated are… the objectification, the constant pushing the limit of what’s acceptable in terms of age, artist protection (or lack thereof), commodification… it checks out. Just last night I was worrying about the impact of NewJeans’s Hyein being made LV’s youngest ever brand ambassador (at 14…??! too tf young), especially given the LVMH troubles with underage models in the past. I don’t even know that they should have let her debut.
Given the meteoric rise and now reign of NewJeans, it was probably too much to expect that MHJ was going to bow out quietly from the k pop scene, but I certainly would never have pegged Tae to work with her. I would’ve thought the vibes were too different… but I guess we’ll see what happens. Sigh.
Still excited about the album, but wishing it could’ve been unmixed with alarm and ick. :/
Ngl this has kinda dampened my excitement for Taehyung’s album, because we all know MHJ is sus af (and that doesn’t even cover half of the weird shit she’s done with regards to Shinee and now New Jeans). Like, it’s kinda sad that Taehyung’s debut solo album has to be attached to MHJ’s name, if you get what I mean (sorry finding it really hard to articulate what i wanna say rn idk why). Also I’m positively dreading the marketing tactics MHJ is gonna use to promote Tae’s album…
Aw 🙁 The thing is, people like MHJ know fans feel conflicted but want to support their faves. I think she knows she can exploit this. Like, I know it’s going to sound amazing, so sitting this one out is going to hurt like crazy 😭
I love New Jeans… this collab with Taes personal tastes will be an absolute masterpiece!!! I can’t wait!!
