I'm usually the first one to point out the big corporations and i'm even taking part of the Hybe boycott so I can't believe I'm writing this but... I really don't think there's anything Hybe can do right now for Yoongi that won't make it worse, especially if they don't have Yoongi's approval and judging by his latest letter that broke my heart, I think he would refuse any aggressive help from Hybe. And if they can't be aggressive, anything less would be used as munition against him, the big star protected by the big corporation when the whole point is that he's just human and shouldn't be facing further consequences for being famous.
This is why, even though I usually boycott Hybe, I was all onboard for the charting of Yoongi's songs, unlike other times when armys were charting songs to show Hybe they were mad (which makes no sense half the time).
I think charting Yoongi's songs right now is the most efficient way to achieve the only goal that should matter: reassure Yoongi that his fans are still there, still see him as a part of BTS that can never be taken away, and forgave him the moment he asked for forgiveness in that first post because they know it does not warrant any further punishment.
To sing back his lyrics to him because they reflect what is happening right now, because he needs to hear it and believe it.
Right now, the most important thing is to make sure Yoongi forgives himself for what he thinks he did (damage the members and BTS's name, which is not true), and if that means Hybe gets some money from that because we are streaming, so be it.

blue & grey
[Image ID: a blue monochromatic digital painting of Park Jimin and Kim Taehyung standing atop a frozen lake. Their faces are turned away from each other and their feet are stuck to the ice by white vines crawling up their legs. The ice is cracking where they stand. In their reflections in the ice, they are both reaching for each other. End ID.]

My initial reflections on Indigo
re:online hatred and trolls
With the most incredible timing, just as I am going through a period of disdain for the Internet culture, Namjoon drops a project where he multiple times expresses his dislike for the online world and everything that comes with it. You don't need any theories or crooked narratives, it's enough to just listen to what the members say and write about. As always the answers are there as clear as a day.
An excerpt from Still life (my own interpretation and trans):
'걔네 조롱은 듣지 마 니 귀 버려'
Don't listen to their mockery, it'll ruin your ears
'꼭 버러지들 온라인에 목숨 걸어'
Those pests who put their life at risk online*
(*I'm interpreting this line as those who go to the extent of attacking or dissing someone online as if their whole life depended on it)
More general thoughts: As expected, Namjoon put out an album that leaves you thinking. Just like an exhibition, every piece (track) conveys a certain mood, a window into a momentary state of soul. After walking through the whole exhibit, you'll realize you walked down a passage of the artist's life unfolding various storylines. Each of them is meaningful on their own, and at the same time all of them together paint a certain picture that lingers. Most amazingly though, this full picture only becomes apparent after you start walking away from the museum. That's the brilliance of a true artist.
