IZM review of Jin's I'll Be There

 

It's an encouraging song that is filled only with happiness. The song is easy to sing, it's not difficult, and doesn't have any boring sections. Jin's vocal on top of the lively rockabilly sound brings a refreshing sense. The lyrics offer straightforward and comforting support, promising to be there when life gets tough. While it feels lighter and less distinctive than his previous single 'The Astronaut,' it provides a universally enjoyable and relaxing experience. Sometimes, simplicity and a well-rounded composition can indeed be the best choice.

theqoo

-It sounds kind of like a trot song.

-Didn't they give Seventeen's Super 2.5 starts?

-I checked it out because people said it sounded like trot, and his vocal style indeed does give off that vibe.

-There are many IZM reviewers. This is just one person's opinion. Some HYBE idols have also received harsh reviews on there, and the same artist sometimes gets bad reviews, sometimes good ones. It's just one review, but people are fixated on the criticisms.

-He sounds amazing live. He actually sounds better live than recorded.

-Jungkook’s solo album was decent but got two stars, while this gets three... Hmm.

-You guys only think it's credible if they have the same opinion as you, right?

-The song is actually good. I really enjoy listening to it.

-Whoa... Look at all these hate comments.

-I checked the song out and it actually sounds very exciting and good...

-I actually like this song.

-Looks like they only harshly criticize certain artistsㅎ IZM is not worth trusting.

-Honestly, it doesn’t seem like a song deserving of such a high rating.

Two Japanese fans who harassed BTS Jin at Hug Event + Japanese Netizens' reactions

"His skin was smooth and silky" Famous Japanese Blogger Sparks Controversy by Kissing BTS Jin at Hug Event

BTS' Japanese Fan Receive Hate Comments as She Forced to Kiss a Member at Hug Event That Celebrates His Return from Military Service

The woman who sexually harassed Jin is likely a Japanese famous blogger who has been targeting BTS members, especially Taehyung, for several months. Judging from what she wrote about her actions in her blog and also her outfits, it's likely the same person. 

Everyone is angry at the person who did such a terrible thing to Jin!! Are you satisfied for trampling on his feelings and even making him make such a facial expression?? Please feel ashamed. You are not an ARMY. Please accept that every time you look at social media, every time you see your beloved BTS, embarrassing photos of yourself will pop up and your face will never disappear from the internet again. 

-I came across a video of Jin's Hug Event yesterday that made me feel really bad... The person who kissed Jin is Japanese!! What a disgrace to Japan!!! I'm so angry now. I want to go to Korea, but I'm under circumstances where I can't go. It's so annoying.

-The person who kissed Jin's neck at the Hug Event... What was she thinking?? Is she dumb? 

-There were two people who caused a problem at Jin's Hug Event, they wore identical clothes and looked similar, I thought they were the same person. There were two people (In addition, they look like Japanese??). You shouldn't lose yourself just because you're feeling happy. Regardless of anything, you shouldn't cause trouble to the ARMYs around you. 

-The person who kissed Jin at the Hug Event is a Japanese fan. As a Japanese, I'm ashamed. If they don't come to Japan anymore after this, how will she take responsibility?

-That grandmother who kissed Jin's neck at the Hug Event was Japanese. That Ahjumma is embarrassing the country in front of the whole world. I really hate thinking that our country, which is known for its politeness, is being tainted because of this one person. I guess you'll lose your sense of shame or courtesy when you become a grandmother. 

-I was wondering how the International fans react when I came across this. I read some stuff and Japanese fans are also criticizing her, just like us! So embarrassing, I feel sorry for Jin. 

-You have to know what you can and can not do. Seokjin only hugs fans because they asked for it! He was already tired after finishing (the military service) and she tried to steal a kiss from him. I didn't know she was Japanese. It's kinda shocking, though?? I just hope there won't be more fans like her. This is what I'm worried about when Kookie comes back (from the military service) later!!

-I knew it, that fan who kissed Jin's neck was a Japanese. In addition, she's not even a fan of Jin? I hope she gets blacklisted from all events and live performances of BTS.

-I hate this. It's clear that Jin didn't like what she did. That Japanese fan is a criminal and molester. This is why I hate Ahjumma fans. 

(NB: The tweets are automatically translated to Korean, so it's a bit difficult to understand)

That fan's blog and face have been exposed. Everything about her has been spilled. 

Japanese fans are suspecting that the two fans who harassed Jin are Japanese.

theqoo

-Why are they blaming Jin when that fan was the one who broke the rule of the Hug Event?? I'm sure the idol did the event with good intentions. Just looking at incidents during Japanese idols' handshake events show how dangerous physical contacts (between idols and fans) can be and why it should be stopped. 

-I really hate Japanese fans... They often spread rumors about other idols, and now even going as far as harassing Jin...

-What does the 3rd picture mean?? Are you saying that she usually writes hate comments targeting BTS, and she went to Jin's hug event only to harass Jin??

-Whoa... Japanese... Why do those two fans look so similar? Are they siblings?

-Ew... As expected from Japanese. They're legends when it comes to causing trouble.

-That member probably had a good intention to do the event to comfort fans who have been waiting for a long time. However, shouldn't his company have predicted and prevented such incidents? They should have thought more about artist safety and prepared to prevent such incidents from happening... Even handshake events, which have much less contact than these events, lead to all sorts of sexual harassment. It's really bewildering that people in the entertainment industry, no matter how good their intentions are, didn't anticipate the damage that artists could suffer from holding such events.

-I mean... Even fans could've predicted that this would happen, right? I still can't believe his company held this event... At what cost?

-That's crazy.............? I'm not even a fan of Jin, but this is really shocking;;

-I'm shocked enough to know that fan was Japanese... Even more shocked to know that fan was already in her 50s

-That's sexual harassment... This sends me chills down my spine

-To be honest, is there anyone who didn't know that would happen??

2024 FESTA BTS Jin Offline Event Follow-up Announcement

Hello, this is Big Hit Music.

We would like to inform you of the changes in the entry criteria for the '2024 FESTA' offline event for Jin.

First of all, we apologize once again for any inconvenience. We have revised the entry criteria for Jin's offline event as follows:

For those who purchased Jin's solo single 'The Astronaut' or BTS's 'Proof' on Weverse Shop GLOBAL before the announcement on June 2, 2024, at 11 a.m. (KST), regardless of any new purchase history, you are eligible to enter the event.

Furthermore, for those who purchased albums ('Proof', 'The Astronaut', 'Indigo', 'FACE', 'D-DAY', 'Jack in the Box', 'Layover', 'GOLDEN', 'HOPE ON THE STREET VOL. 1', 'Right Place, Wrong Person') after the announcement on June 2, 2024, at 11 a.m. (KST) and entered the event, the previously announced entry criteria will still apply without any changes, considering that no one should be disadvantaged.

Additionally, the first part of the offline event, 'Jin's Greetings,' has been confirmed through extensive discussions between the artists and the operating department. We will ensure thorough safety management for both fans and artists through pre-rehearsals and other measures.

We sincerely thank you for your continued support and anticipation leading up to Jin's discharge. We apologize for any concerns caused during the preparation process. We humbly accept any criticism with the artists' best interests at heart and will strive to make it an enjoyable event for everyone.

You can find detailed entry criteria on Weverse Shop notices.

Thank you.

theqoo

-There's nothing really changed... You still have to pay in order to enter the event.... sigh....

-They only expanded the range for entry, in the endㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-It's Jin's event, but why isn't buying his album a must to enter the event? That means if you're lucky, you might win and get a hug without having to buy Jin's albums. HYBE seem to not have any money, huh?? 

-The first event after discharge is selling albums for a hug event for a thousand people... and it's BTS...

-They said they didn't have money, but now they're trying to suck us dry as soon as he gets discharged;;

-Seriously, this hug event is weird.

-Hug event? Four thousand people? Won't he be exhausted? HYBE seems to only do strange things...

-How far will these suckers go? When will Bangtan escape HYBE? I can't enjoy being a fan because of the stress.

-Hugging a thousand times will be so exhausting...

-Even if he genuinely wanted to meet the fans who waited for a year and a half, did it have to be a hug event for a thousand people where you have to buy a CD in order to  enter the event?

-What's changed..?

-Atm

2024 Festa BTS Jin Offline Event Application Criteria Revised

Hello. This is BigHit Music.

We would like to inform you about the upcoming changes to the eligibility criteria for Jin's offline event '2024 FESTA.'

We apologize for the lack of clarity in the previous announcement and for not setting detailed criteria beforehand.

As of today (6/2) at 11 AM (KST), following the announcement of the offline event eligibility, we plan to revise the criteria to include both those who purchased albums for the offline event through the Weverse Shop and those who have previous purchase records on the Weverse Shop. 

We will carefully consider this matter and announce the detailed information as soon as possible.

We are committed to ensuring that Jin's intentions are well conveyed to the fans by preparing the event to the best of our abilities. We apologize again for any inconvenience caused and ask for your support and interest in Jin's offline event on June 13th.

Thank you.

theqoo

-Great, now reduce the number of participants

-They need to cut the number of participants.

-These people are really bad at their job.

-They really suck at their job.

-Can he really hug 1,000 people? Just give out gifts instead.

-They should just organize a fan meeting and do the hug event with fewer people, chosen by lottery.

-Reduce the number of participants and prioritize those who already bought albums.

-This is really bad. Don't go easy on them, ARMYs, keep fighting for your rights!

-How can he handle 1,000 people? He'll get exhausted...

-Can't they just do a fan meeting instead of hug event?

-Reduce the number of participants. Hugging 1,000 people is too much.

-HYBE is just hungry for money.

-I hope they changed it because they respect fans' opinions, not because it made it to the news. 

-The singer is trying to do something nice for fans, but the company is ruining it. HYBE needs to be constantly criticised to get their act together.

-Fans need to keep criticizing HYBE for them to get it right.

-Get your act together.

"I can't believe they're making us buy the album again" ... BTS Jin's hug event draws criticism for its eligibility requirements

 
by Journalist Lee Chang-gyu

BTS Jin's hug event has been receiving mixed opinions as information about the eligibility requirements was revealed. To participate in the event, one must have the ARMY membership and must purchase any album released after 'Proof' via Weverse Shop during the application period. 

Additionally, it was noted that the entries are based on the total number of albums ordered from Weverse Shop from the 2nd to the 6th of June, not the number of orders itself.

This has caused dissatisfaction among fans. Many fans feel that the event loses its meaning since his only solo release before his military enlistment is 'The Astronaut.' Moreover, fans who already bought albums before have to buy more copies to participate, leading to criticism that the company is using this event purely to make money. 

Netizens reacted with comments such as, "They should've just organized a fan meeting instead," "Is this really an event for the fans?" "This will harm the artist's image," and "They should've limited the eligibility to Jin's album only; What's this?"

theqoo

-Isn't BTS one of the highest-earning groups of the company? Do they really need to go this far? It's not like BTS is a struggling idol group who needs to clear out their stock. The artist should speak up against this kind of thing.

-BTS, who built this billion-dollar company, are made to do this while they hand over a trillion won to that Scooter Braun guy. Classy.

-Wow, the more albums you buy, the higher your chances of winning. This is so petty for BTS's class...

-Is HYBE trying to make up for their losses here?

-This really feels like something a game developer would come up with. Do they see idols as gacha game characters or what?

-Unbelievable...

-That company only thinks about how to squeeze money out of us while neglecting their responsibilities. Please respect the artists and fans!!

-Wow, they seem to be really desperate for money.

-Do they really have to go this far?

-This is so embarrassing.

-This is just stock clearance, and it’s ruining the meaning of the hug event itself.

-Even if they do it, shouldn't it only be for Jin's album? Why include other members' albums?

-If their intention is pure, shouldn't it just be a random draw?
