Park Jimin

Even though I know no one is going to read this I feel the need to say how much I love Park Jimin. He makes me so incredibly soft, I just adore that cute squish. His duality is insane. I just want to hold him and give him all my love and praises. That is all.

This is just a random rant scroll if you want to ignore

So I'm a kpop Stan threw and threw. I have been since 2016 when I first heard exo from going deep into YouTube somehow. Threw exo I have been introduced to so many different kpop groups, it so happened the second group I found was BTS. Now don't get me wrong I love BTS there is nothing wrong with them and a whole. It's just as time has passed I slowly stopped listening to their music l, it's just not my taste anymore, and I decided to tell someone I knew threw this lovely thing called the internet,and they told me I wasn't a true fan to begin with, that I just jumped onto the kpop hype, and everything like that. And no that's not true I was a fan since 2016 cause like I said they where my second group. I was a big fan of them technically until 2018-2019 it's just my music taste has changed since then, yeah I can like a song here and there but over all their not my style anymore. I love and respect the boys as a group it's just I guess you can say I don't Stan them anymore idk. And it's not like they are the only group I'm not as into anymore mamamoo is a hit or miss for me,twice is a big hit or miss,ikon, seventeen was for a while but they have slowly been coming back for me. So maybe in the future I may start liking their music again but for now I haven't really truly liked any of their songs but a few. But that doesn't mean I was never a fan it just means I've changed as a human being.

Long SOOP rant. Fuck Hybe.

When they renovated those three mansions,I though,ok,they will clearly rent the space later. Which was obviously better than letting them sit there unused. Win-win,both for the fans who get a new Soop season,and whoever owns those houses.

When BTS almost only wore clothes with the Soop designs,instead of their own outfits,it felt weird,but those pajamas were cute so whatever. When some of the cooking and eating scenes reminded me more of those Run eps which were a Paradise Hotel ad,I was like,whatever,if still feels nice to watch them eat.

When they were mostly shown spending time inside their own rooms,(with a lot of PPL in the background),or using the kitchen(full of luxurious appliances),I said well,it was just because they wanted to be genuine and show how they really spend their time when they are alone(ok that might still be true). When they seemed a lot less enthusiastic to be there compared to the first season,I thought it was only because they were about to drop PTD then and had too much on their plate.

When scenes were cut and the editing was a mess,and it didn't feel like there was that much interest to tell a coherent story this time,some people thought it was because it was being shown on JTBC and BTS usual chaotic interactions and drunk shenanigans were too much for cable TV,and it made sense,so I believed that. Well,that one could still be true.

When from the start the whole thing felt like a giant promotion of that space,with BTS not fully invested in being there,I should have taken everything at face value.

I found out that that recently there was a tour for a few lucky Armys in the Soop filming location.

So,the place looks like this now:

( I hope posting these is allowed. If not let me know)

BigHit was always good at milking stories from reality. At turning what could have been boring moments into scenes to be remembered. But,lately they are not even allowing real moments to happen naturally. The story is there even before the action happened....

Nice,right? So much thought into this. But it was a 4-day trip only. Does it deserve this level of romanticizing?

Cute cute cute. The person who designed soopy and those who made the merch are so good at their job. I really want all of this now. But that’s the problem...

Maybe my reaction is too harsh,but when I saw this,what I first felt was not excitement or fondness,which are my usual BTS-related emotions,but discomfort. All those ~nostalgic~ photos strewn everywhere of ~healing memories~ that never even felt like that when watching the show,just make me feel used. Do you think they’ll remove those when they later rent the mansions? I doubt it.

You can say,but what about the ahjumma who turned the restaurant where BTS used to eat into a shrine? Well,good for her. Because they actually did use to eat there. She just capitalized on it. But this is different,because the place was meant to be shown on tours from the beginning. So the Soop lost half of genuineness even before it happened.

Yes it's a reality show,so it's already a collection of personal moments being sold and transformed into a narrative by the editors and showrunners. But the balance was different until now. Maybe that was all fake too,but in the first season at least,the image being pushed by the company didn't seem to be that different from the story BTS told about the time they spent there. They genuinely looked like they were relaxed and enjoying being with each other,so adding labels like 'healing' over the whole thing didn't seem disingenuous.

Basically,now they just needed to get BTS' to bless the house with their presence so they can sell the bathwater later. Jungkook slept in this bed! Yoongi played guitar on this chair! Namjoon read this book on this same couch! Don't you want to breathe the air BTS farted in? Now you can!

Product placement is a thing. BTS advertising too many things these days is also a thing. But,so far,in all their reality and travel shows,you could see that BTS at least got some enjoyment out of being there,or that their experiences were the main product being sold. Here,it was not even about BTS. They were props to this huge ad for an ugly house no one fucking needs to stay in.

It's especially feels like a betrayal that they took a show that brought people so much genuine joy,and turned it into just a 5 episode-long ad.
