wait for official clarification 

try not to speculate

but i’m saying this now:

1. Why are you trying to goad me into your corner? I am a BABY and my blog is called 110% B.A.P. They are my group and the only ones I post about. End of. 

2. But, I always try to be reasonable and fair to anyone who takes the time to write to me. So that being said, I have read some of the things posted by my mutuals on this topic and I looked up the lyrics myself -

This song - that you claim is ‘harmless’ - is predatory, exploitative and emotionally manipulative. It makes my skin crawl. And the fact that it is allegedly for their fans. Ugh. Some of whom are young and impressionable, some of whom are older and prone to acceptance and worst of all, some who may very well be negatively and dangerously affected by the scenarios put forth and overall narrative tone of the song. This makes me so angry I could scream. 

I was going describe it all as ‘unsavory’ but really - it’s disgusting.

It shows a total lack of awareness and empathy towards those who love them and look up to them - their fans. It is thoughtless. It is the male gaze at it’s absolute, revolting, finest.

This is not some young, rookie group, they are well-traveled young men, who have worked with people from all over the world. The fact that a song like this was even conceived, points to some fundamental flaws within the head-spaces of both the songwriters and those those who okay’d its release. 

I wasn’t a fan before, but I would never rubbish any group or person who is carving out a life for themselves, working hard and making music. But i’m drawing a line here - this is wrong, it’s not acceptable, in fact, it’s just plain awful.

So, you wanted my take on things, well here it is.

Now please stop.
