ANNYEONG YEOREOBUN!

It is with a sad heart that I am writing this news blog (which I started writing yesterday and only got to finish now) .

On the last day of May, a statement from BigHit saddened, angered, or confused a majority of ARMYs, for different reasons.

But! As soon as the clock struck 12 midnight in Korea, the first of June brought news of better things to come as the first FESTA gift from BTS dropped and DNA became BTS' first mv to reach 1 billion views in YouTube.

Korean media also clarified the misinformation being spread by antis about Suga's Vlive.

So as we go through so many difficult times of our lives, there's always good news that comes with the bad.

Anyways, stay safe everyone...

On May 31, Big Hit Entertainment issued an official statement about the use of a controversial sample in the song “What Do You Think?” from BTS’ Suga (Agust D)’s mixtape “D-2.”

The sample in question comes from a 1977 speech given by Jim Jones, an American cult leader who was responsible for a mass murder-suicide at the remote commune known as “Jonestown.”

Big Hit Entertainment’s statement reads:

Hello, this is Big Hit Entertainment. This is our official statement on the issue of BTS’ Suga’s mixtape.

The vocal sample of the speech in the introduction of the song “What Do You Think?” on the mixtape was selected without any special intent by the producer who worked on the track, who was unaware of the identity of the speaker and used the sample for the overall atmosphere of the song.

After the speech sample was selected, the company followed our internal process and carried out procedures for reviewing the appropriateness of the content. However, in both the selection and review processes, we committed an error in not recognizing the inappropriateness of the content and including the sample in the song.

Big Hit Entertainment has processes for reviewing its diverse content targeted toward a global audience for potential social, cultural, and historical issues. However, we are experiencing the reality that there are limits to understanding and correctly responding to every situation. In this case, we were not able to recognize the issue in advance and displayed a lack of understanding about the relevant historical and social issues. We apologize to those who felt uncomfortable or hurt because of this.

Big Hit Entertainment has removed the part of the song in question and re-released the new version.

The artist also feels embarrassed and deeply responsible for a problem that has arisen in an area that he did not consider.

Big Hit Entertainment will use this incident as a lesson to conduct its production process more thoroughly.

SIDE NOTE:

Here are other artists who sampled or mention JJ in their music. Ask yourselves if fandoms or media called them out and also asked for apology. Or is it only a big deal if an Asian artist did the same thing, especially if that artist is from BTS? Now ask yourselves who started the email propaganda asking for apology from BigHit? Was it from our fandom... or somewhere else?

For those who want to know a more in-depth understanding of the situation, also for those who doubted Yoongi, please read this very enlightening thread:

On the current Billboard 200, BTS’s most recent release Map of the Soul: 7 falls five spaces from No. 45 to No. 50, earning yet another stay inside the uppermost quarter of the important albums chart. The former No. 1 has now been going strong for 13 consecutive frames, and while that number may pale in comparison to quite a few other titles on the tally (many have been going strong for hundreds of frames), it’s historic for the septet.

With 13 turns on the Billboard 200 to its credit, Map of the Soul: 7 ties with one other title as the fifth-longest-running Korean album in the history of the chart. At the moment, BTS’s latest is on the same level as Pinkfong’s Pinkfong Presents: The Best of Baby Shark, which was kept afloat for months almost solely by the success of the viral smash “Baby Shark.”

Only four albums performed primarily in Korean have held on for longer on the Billboard 200, and, unsurprisingly to those who are aware of BTS and how successful they are, all those titles that have lasted longer are by the same group.

Leading the way on the list of Korean albums which have spent the most time on the Billboard 200 is BTS’s Love Yourself: Answer, which has racked up an incredible 73 spins on the ranking and which is somehow still present. This time around, the project is down at No. 174, and it will likely continue to add to its total in the coming weeks and months, as fans of the group can’t stop streaming the set and buying new copies.

In a distant second place when it comes to the longest-charting Korean albums in Billboard 200 history comes the septet’s Love Yourself: Her, which has now earned 44 stays on the list. BTS’s 2019 win Map of the Soul: Persona lived on the tally for 35 turns before disappearing, and their older effort Love Yourself: Tear isn’t far ahead of Pinkfong Presents: The Best of Baby Shark and Map of the Soul: 7, as it stopped at 15 weeks on the chart.

When the Billboard 200 refreshes in a short time, Map of the Soul: 7 will Pinkfong Presents: The Best of Baby Shark, pushing the latter title out of the top five on the ranking of the longest-charting Korean albums and keeping its hold on the fifth place spot all to itself. At the very slow rate it’s descending, BTS’s sole 2020 album (at least so far) will soon catch up to Love Yourself: Tear, and almost certainly it as well.
