Any reason why?

[modestgoddess79.livejournal.com]

Omona's power ... no but really, why isn't he releasing it?

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

probably got scared after the backlash that he only had white girls in his mv lol

[mallmouse.livejournal.com]

which mv??

[pepsi-twist9.livejournal.com]

Such short notice, I wonder what happened.

[donaldjdrumpf.livejournal.com]

When will he realize that music isn't his thing?

[camouflagecat.livejournal.com]

Well unfortunately he's repeatedly stated that making (his own) music is his biggest passion lol

[alterlife.livejournal.com]

What’s his thing?

[daynr.livejournal.com]

oooh, I smell a story. I wish he'd spill, cause right now it's wasted money.

He no longer seems interested in hearing criticism, so I wonder if something happened with a producer not signing off on distribution or plagiarism or something.

[apori.livejournal.com]

Yep.

It's been over a year since I checked in with the jackys and......... wow. The us against the world realness.

people on twitter say it's because of how the women were portrayed in the mv admist seungri's controversy

[jaelissi.livejournal.com]

Well, good. I found the teaser on youtube and it was, in fact, in bad taste. For any time, but especially now

[camouflagecat.livejournal.com]

There seems to be no official statement yet (and that "let's move on" seems kinda deflective to me hmm) but from what I've read on twitter the speculation are it had something to do with how the women were portrayed in the MV teaser (and maybe also the lyrics "you only touch me when you're faded"?) that brought up negative connotations (of/for women), concerning the times now (a.k.a the Burning Sun scandal)

I guess this is just hearsay/fan theories for now but that's all I know, the previous teaser was deleted a day after its release and afaik that was mainly due to Korean netizen's backlash?

[pepsi-twist9.livejournal.com]

I didn't even think of the link to Burning Sun. That makes sense to me. The content of the song is vastly different but you'd have to listen to interviews to know that.

[22-taken.livejournal.com]

I only know about international fans' reactions, there was no criticism because of that release in Korea.

[sciencebottle.livejournal.com]

Seems like the timing was just not appropriate for the content of the mv. If that was the intent, then I'm glad he saw it. Don't really think there's a need to dig deeper.

[snowphone.livejournal.com]

agreed!

[veep-throat.livejournal.com]

Dead at him still having a career

[thebloomroom.livejournal.com]

LOL "let's move on" took me out. Okay.

[henolam.livejournal.com]

nnn good call

[scionofawhisper.livejournal.com]

Was this posted here?

He performed the full song before. Keep your expectations low...

[modestgoddess79.livejournal.com]

This is the worst song he has ever made

[myungung.livejournal.com]

well based on the teasers it would be better if he did not release it I guess. or his team can just release a lyric video and the fans would probably still lap it up

[neongoldtooth.livejournal.com]

His music is....just.....not at all good.

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

Music is not his forte, he should focus on something he's acually good at

[myungung.livejournal.com]

but! he! has! so! much! passion! for! his! music!
