FULL METAL JACKET - EPEX : 1 • BSIDES - No Roof & Surrender

Honestly it is a much needed move for them. They should have done it a couple of years ago but whatever better late than never. Hopefully the fandom can finally stop being incredibly toxic. I'm just wondering what took the company so long to decide this? Or the boys??
yea i 1000% agree, the last two-three years at this point have been a slow cry for help. and i don't think it was a company decision, i think it was the members themselves. judging from the snippets of stuff that i've seen (i'm not watching the announcement video why would i do that to myself) but it sounds like they're all insanely burnt out and struggling with persona/professional identity crises. i suspect they likely were also not pleased about the constant english singles push to the western market. i think something probably finally reached a breaking point personally amongst all of them and they went to the company with some kind of negotiation. it's weird to think that we've become used to this cycle that boy groups have of career-service-return, but it really did feel like they've been around past their prime. tbh the system that's been in place for boy groups of solo projects/enlistment rotation has been proven to work at this point so i don't really understand why hybe didn't try to implement it. i mean i do, because they knew that they'd passed the point of no return and that solo projects would cause a ton of fandom infighting and some other reasons, but they fundamentally have an apparatus that could have taken the hit. if they had let the members put some serious groundwork into solo stuff in 2018-19 while the older members were getting ready to enlist and just done the standard rotation they could have prevented having to do a hiatus announcement in the first place and the declining professional health of everyone in one fell swoop. yea obviously boy group popularity declines as the years go on but the sheer size of the fandom imo kind of negates any real issues about it. the company should have just sucked it up and done the thing that worked but nooooooo they had to do it their own way because there was so much money coming in and "we're making different kpop"

ya know....at this point I would not put it past WM Ent. to have already finished recording and mv filming of the first ONF comeback after their discharge so that they only have to relearn the choreo and song....
like...the way they have structured the content that is releasing throughout the military service time, their fucking comeback in the middle of it, the ultra-emotional 15min intermission video of additional mv shooting behind the scenes content and the fact that they structured the hell out of last years releases AND recorded the special album too is just......wtf man...I don’t put anything past them anymore
it’s not even that I WANT this because go knows the monotree team, the ONFs creative team, choreo team etc all had enough to do last year and deserve a proper break for once but as I said....I would not be surprised
