Cruel Summer, that song was my pride and joy on that album, that was my favourite song! — Taylor Swift (June 17, 2023)

CRUEL SUMMER is the fifth single from Taylor Swift's seventh studio album Lover. Initially an album track, it was released on August 23, 2019 and debuted at #29 on the Billboard Hot 100. Critically acclaimed and a fan-favourite, the song was released as a single on June 20, 2023 after a resurgence due to The Eras Tour. It reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart dated October 28, 2023, more than four years after its initial release and is the first from Lover and Taylor's 10th #1 single.

BPP! This might be a tough one for you.

What do you think about BigHits tactics with regards to album releases and promotional tactics for members? Hobi and Namjoon have been the only ones (not without other issues) thus far who’ve gotten proper time to promote their album and allow it to sit with Army and other fans. Today with the announcement of D-Day, it basically means Jimin had only 2 weeks to promote and allow his album to sit with Army (not counting the time that was divided with In the street by JHope).

Now the focus, as you can imagine, will be divided. It is a bit unfair to jimin but this is more a company planning issue rather than an issue with the members themselves. It could be that Yoongis album also get affected because Army just spent tonnes on buying Face 🤷🏻‍♀️

What are your thoughts around this?

**

Hi Anon,

I’ve talked about this a few times before but it seems several people still have the same concerns, going by the flood of asks I just got on the topic, in addition to yours. So let me try a different tack.

...

Fuck BigHit.

Fuck BTS.

Fuck HYBE.

Do we look like fucking ATMs? Are they trying to cause a burnout in the fandom? To see how far they can push us before we break? Do the members in BTS, those ungrateful fucktards, take ARMY so much for granted they think it's okay to push out albums one after the other like fucking pop tarts?

I just spent a shit fuck ton of money on Jimin and my wallet is still recovering. Now here comes Yoongi not even two weeks later shipping his shit out. And this is when his concert tickets are running up US$5,000 a pop on reseller sites. What does BigHit think they're doing? Writing this, I was initially going for a 'sarcastic' pitch but nah, I'm actually kinda ticked off. Fuck BigHit for their tacky, unorganized, chaotic and cluttered as fuck roll-out, and fuck BTS too for agreeing to that bullshit.

You're probably reading this and going "BigHit is the problem, not BTS", but those grown men agreed to this shit. You think Yoongi’s tour and album date was only decided yesterday? No. He and Jimin knew months before how everything would be phased, and they agreed to it. I held them responsible for agreeing to the PET and Dreamers, and I'll hold them responsible for this. You know, I actually can't believe Jimin. The actual gall to sit there and say the FACE album is very precious to him, only for him to agree to dip after two weeks of promotions. It's like he's begging to free fall off the charts. I wonder if he has a masochistic kink since he religiously keeps up with charting and social media lately. Anyway, Yoongi is the even bigger problem here since he's encroaching on Jimin's promo time. There's literally no need for BigHit to rush any of this, not even Yoongi going to the army is...

...

Oh.

The army...

Oh, right.

The military...

*

Enlistment... that thing they've been talking about lately. Yoongi has to enlist this year, and if the members all intend to do their service before returning in 2025, then they all have to enlist sometime in the next 10 months. And as the maknaes (taekook) will likely be having big debuts like Jimin, they'll need some time too. And, though it's possible he does, I doubt Jimin plans to enlist soon after promoting FACE. The guy I heard in Set Me Free Pt 2 sounds like he plans to be around for most of this year, active and trying out different projects. So BigHit will have to plan/stagger Jimin's next solo projects around Taekook's solo activities...

Hmm, now that I think about it, Joon did seem agitated when he said on his WLive, he's running out of time. Jimin and Yoongi both expressed a strong desire to return as a group ASAP on Suchwita. Jung Kook, who watched them, agreed and felt so inspired watching them that soon as it was done, he went to work and the context of his speech suggests he went to work on a solo endeavor. Oh, and if he's still working on music, that really shows how involved he is in the process, doesn't it? I mean, it's not Jung Kook who selects BTS's distributor (it's YG btw), but it's hard to say how there would be a complete album if he's still working on the song, and so he might need more time...

Enlistment is a real pressure all the guys are feeling this year, JK too even if he doesn't go, I promise you. I doubt they want these tight deadlines either. And that's all this roll-out is: tight. I refuse to call the roll-outs messy and insufficient because the guys' promotions have all without fail, even Hobi's, been thoughtfully done. And I'm saying that as someone who still thinks JITB packaging is pathetic and JITB should've come with a CD.

There’s a real possibility the fandom deals with some whiplash between releases.

Personally, I'm having the time of my life with the barrage of new music. Everything I wrote in that angry rant above is hogwash. BTS are keeping us so fucking fed, the music is incredible, they're all expressing themselves in so many ways, I can't stop gorging myself on them. As someone who has watched them for some years, it's nothing but pure fun seeing them be themselves and making great records. ARMY has already dealt with almost 20 releases since June 14th and all of them have done very well, plus it's not like BTS see themselves as competition anyway, so why should we?

That said, I can see why you think it’s unfair Jimin has likely had only two weeks to fully promote his album. I also sympathize if it all feels very overwhelming for you. Please remember it's always okay to step back and detach. In fact I recommend doing it often if you like. The music isn't going away, engage at your own pace.

*

There's also the issue of solo stans and their diet versions kicking up a stink about missed goals/targets after Jimin's Hot100 win. It's a shame and it will be annoying, but also that implosion has to happen somehow right?

If you're saying this cause you worry about ARMYs (or at least the OT7-ish core), don't worry. Those people showed up for JITB, Indigo, OTS, Jimin, and they'll show up for D-Day. Of course listenability, genre accessibility, preferences in general etc, definitely also impact what people like to listen to, and metrics will also vary for that reason. It's not always solo stans who determine these variances.

If the money is an issue for you, very understandable. It's money after all not toilet paper, it's a very valuable resource and there's a real fear fans will significantly spend beyond their means. Thus far I haven't seen this happen, and people seem to always forget the fandom has a lot of people and a lot of funders. It's just that not all of them pitch in unless it's for their biases. I have an ask sitting in my inbox of an Anon noticing that many people who had spent the last year talking about how ARMYs are 'obsessed with charts' and that people should allow music to be 'organic', those people themselves got really into charts when trying to chart Jimin's FACE. For that Anon if you're reading this, I agree with your observation but that sort of mean spirited shitposting ask is just unnecessary so I'm not posting it lol.

Anyway the point is, even the fans who don't consider themselves part of ARMY will show up to support their biases. They might dip right after, but they'll show up. That's just the effect BTS has on people. So Anon, ARMY will do what they do: enjoy the music, support the guys, and bicker.. feel free to do the same.

#bts #jimin really did take home number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 didn't he? #Happy and proud. So pleased and glad for him. #Breaking out my wallet for Yoongi next lol #goodnes #jimin #park jimin #min yoongi #yoongi

I really just can’t contain myself and I just have to let this out.

Don’t you think it’s amazing that the ONLY two K-soloists that have topped the Billboard Hot 100 are dating?

I really can’t contain my head around it. We’ve given them a lot of nicknames to celebrate how they’re a power couple—ace duo, Busan’s pride/princes/kings, main pop boy and it boy. Usually, it comes up when they, as a unit, are highlighted in front of everyone. For instance:

My absolute favorite: Black Swan Jikook

The Flying Yoga Run BTS episode

Topping Brand Reputation rankings as #1 and #2

Topping the charts as #1 and #2

I always feel a great amount of pride when stuff like this happens. It reinforces what an actual power couple they are. But god, this Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 achievement takes it to the next level.

I’ve seen dozens of posts and tweets today celebrating not just Jungkook, but Jimin too. And I know, I know, we’ve never really needed all that external validation, but it FEELS SO NICE, doesn’t it? To see non-Jikookers, non-fans, the media just keep repeating how Jimin and Jungkook are the only Korean soloists who’ve reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Do you see how hot this is?

And—at least for us over here—they just happen to date each other? Do you see how fucking special that is? It’s one thing for Koreans to celebrate two Korean idols topping the Hot 100. It’s another thing for ARMYs to celebrate two idols belonging in BTS topping the Hot 100. It’s another thing for Busan residents to celebrate two idols from their city topping the Hot 100.

It’s another thing for Jikookers to celebrate that 2/2 of their ship are the only two K-soloists that have topped the Billboard Hot 100.

And as if that’s not enough, Jimin just had to post Jungkook’s achievement on his IG. And Jimin’s dad just had to hold a surprise event today.

Jimin posting isn’t unlike the other posts he’s made for the members. That’s not a Jikook-only event. It’s the fact that BB Hot 100 No. 1 Artist Park Jimin posted about BB Hot 100 No. 1 Artist Jungkook. Doesn’t that give you goosebumps? It’s worth reporting!

I know it looks like I’m inflating Billboard Hot 100 a little too much. But we know something like this means a lot to them. And I definitely think it means a lot more that both of them achieved it.

Imagine them just casually saying good night to each other last night, while cuddling.

“Good night, No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 artist.”

“Good night to you too, No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 artist.”

Because they are.

And all we can do is imagine, because obviously, that’s not the kind of thing they’d share with us. And that’s the best part, you know? They get to be in their bubble and celebrate by themselves, the way they were in their bubble in NYC/CT.

Except now they’re two No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 artists. And they’re probably just eating cake or boxing or doing something familiar—and normal—together right now. They’ll celebrate, and then they’ll just be.

We can all argue our asses off here. And they won’t care. And their akgaes and antis can keep blaming either half of Jikook for sabotage or favoritism, and Jikook won’t care.

[I do believe Jimin was wronged in the grand scheme of things, but Jeon “You know I’m-hyung’s fan” Jungkook is NOT to be blamed.]

Jikook will be in their protective bubble, doing their own thing the way they did in Tokyo, in NYC, in Connecticut, the way they always do in Korea. It’s a BTS thing and a Jikook thing.

They don’t owe us photo dumps, and GCFs, and lives, and Weverse posts, and confirmations of relationships.

It reminds me of AO3 writer unconscious’ description of Jikook in her canon compliant Taemin/Kai fic “this love isn’t crazy” (yeah, it’s not Jikook-centric, and I’m not even a Taekai shipper nor a stan of either, but the description stuck with me).

Here’s an excerpt, from Taemin’s POV:

“Bye, Yoongi,” Jeongguk says. He walks backward, tugging Jimin along, and offers Taemin a small smile over Jimin’s head. “Bye, Taemin-hyung.”

There’s an ease to the way they touch each other: familiarity and laughter as Jeongguk wrestles a bedroom door open with his back to it and falls inside with Jimin nearly on top of him.

Taemin’s not that much older than them, really, but watching them he suddenly he feels older. It’s a deep ache, affection and longing and something else—something in between nostalgia and envy. Was this something he could’ve had? (He said no.) It seems impossible. What Jeongguk and Jimin have is bottled lightning, like everything else Bangtan touches: impossibly lucky, impossibly successful. It depends on that strange insularity Bangtan survives in. They’re in their own world, most of the time, working endlessly but also detached from the larger industry; they have a defensive bubble around them, so their personal defenses aren’t so severe.

Not to discredit BTS or Jikook, but I do think there’s a level of luck that played into it all at the start. Or fate. Maybe they were all fated to meet, but they definitely worked hard to get results consistently.

But maybe, as in Serendipity, all this is no coincidence? I mean, this one gave me goosebumps.

As if it isn’t crazy enough that Hirai Saya looks so much like Jungkook, she just had to be born on the exact same day and year as Jimin? What?

I don’t know where I’m getting at. I just have so much love for Jikook and so much pride for what they’ve achieved on their own and together.

I cannot believe I just went from Billboard Hot 100 to Hirai Saya. Anyway, stream Seven and Like Crazy!

#1 Billboard Hot 100 chart topper, he’s so hot...

He was so shook, he couldn’t write a thank you post and instead came on Weverse live to thank everyone and receive our love over his amazing accomplishment. 

For it being 3:30 a.m. or whatever time it was for him, he looked amazing. Fresh-faced. As in glowing. This is what a #1 Billboard chart topper looks like:

...with that just-rolled-out-of-bed hair. The best.

And welp, he finally had him some ramen. Abstinence from ramen can be so challenging. I mean... it’s ramen. Indulging in a big helping of ramen is one of life’s simple pleasures... forget the spicy ramen, even plain ramen is satisfying when you haven’t had ramen in months... The temptation had to be terrible especially when those extra stressful days cum come to a head ... and you need to get rid of that extra energy... you know? when you are ready to explode? ramen is the answer... so satisfying. 

And he also divulged a TMI that he had not felt good earlier because he ate too much. Bless him for that. Go easy on the ramen, Jungkook Jimin. But I have been missing jibooty... man needs to put some meat back on his bones. 

And exactly why does he have to speak so softly in his own house? Who is he gonna wake up, pray tell? Those $9 million dollar apartments are very well insulated and sound-proof. How do you think Kookie gets away with wailing away at karaoke at 4:00 a.m. in the morning? WHY ARE YOU WHISPERING JIMIN? What’s that you say??? You think Jungkookie is asleep? How would you know that? HMMMMMM????? You clapped back pretty quick to missy who said she was Jungkookie’s wife. 

You people out there who keep testing his resolve on this “Jungkook marry me/I’m Jungkook’s wife” need to step back. Jiminie ain’t playin’. 

#i hope jimin feels better after gorging on ramen #ahem #jimin face #1 Billboard Hot 100 #Like Crazy #i couldn't wait for the english subs on this #i might have more to say after the english subs are up #CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN!

아미 여러분 지민입니다 이제야 활동이 끝난게 실감이나고 빌보드차트도 그렇고 아직도 실감이 안나는 부분들이 많은 것 같아요 ㅠㅠ... 준비를 열심히 했는데 활동이 너무 빨리 끝났나 싶기도 하고 그러고 았었거든요. 겪고 있는 모든 것에 어떤식으로 글을 써도 여러분들께 감사한 것을 담기에는 부족할 것 같아서 어떤 말을 전해드려야 할지 고민을 참 많이 했던 것 같아요. 근데 아직도 모르겠어요. 뭐라고 해야할지 기분도 설명도 못하겠구요. 그냥 생각나는건 단지 여러분들께서 주시는 사랑이 너무나 너무나 크다는걸 항상 느끼고 있습니다. 그래서 그것이 너무 기쁘고 행복을 느낍니다. 그냥 평범한 제 얘기를 담은 앨범을 가치있는 앨범으로 만들어주신 것에 진심으로 감사드립니다. 아미여러분께서 보내주시는 응원과 사랑이 있기에 받은 모든 것에 항상 당연하게 생각하지 않겠습니다. 여러분들에게 더욱 자랑스러운 가수가 되고 싶습니다. 더욱 성장할게요. 방탄이라서 자랑스럽고 아미를 만난 것이 행복으로 다가오며 앞으로 우리가 영원하길 바랍니다. 진심으로 그래야 조금이라도 보답할 수 있을테니까요 ㅎㅎ 모든 것에 감사하고 사랑 이상의 감정을 전합니다😊 https://weverse.io/bts/artist/4-116454700

Hello ARMY, this is Jimin. I only now am processing the fact that my promotional activities are done And that's true for the Billboard charts as well, I think there's still a lot of things that I haven't fully processed ㅠㅠ... I worked so hard preparing for everything, did it all end too soon? That's what I've been thinking I think that no matter how I try to write out my feelings about everything I've been going through, it will never adequately capture my gratitude towards you So I think I've spent a lot of time thinking about what to say you to. But I still don't know. What I feel, how to explain it - I don't know what to say about any of it The one thing I am thinking about is just that the love you give me is so so great, and I always feel how big it is. And that makes me really happy and I feel a lot of joy. You took this ordinary album that was just about my story and turned into an album that has value, and for that I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will never take for granted the fact that everything I receive is the result of your love and your support, ARMYs. I want to become an artist that you can be even prouder of. I will strive to grow even more. I am proud to be a part of BTS and the fact that I met you, ARMYs, gives me a lot of joy, I hope that we can last forever. Truly. Because that's the only way I'll be able to repay you even a little bit hehe Thank you for everything, I give to you feelings that are more than love 😊
