BIGHIT Music (BTS’s agency) has recently announced that BTS’s Jimin is set to release his second solo album, “MUSE”. The album, which will consist of 7 tracks, will also feature the fan-favorite song “Closer Than This”which has been released previously.
Moreover, the song “Slow Dance”is set to feature Sofia Carson, a well-known American singer and actress recognized for her role in Disney’s “The Descendants”.
Sofia herself appears to be enthusiastic about the partnership, as she has shared numerous posts on her social media platforms promoting “Slow Dance”and has even included the caption “looking forward to ‘slow dancing’ with you…”on Instagram.
Upon hearing this update, numerous fans are thrilled, revisiting Sofia’s previous vocal performances and discovering a newfound appreciation for her voice.
Some fans are divided, pointing out that Sofia appeared unexpectedly in a group photo with BTS at The 2019 Billboard Music Awards (BBMAs) and even interacted with j-hope. She also covered the English version of “Boy With Luv,”which some believe was an attempt to gain attention.
Despite this, a significant portion of the fandom brought attention to the more concerning aspects of Sofia’s troubled past and views, and expressed frustration over the partnership.
Specifically, Sofia was previously cast in the film “Purple Hearts”, which has been accused of being “rac*st military propaganda”that diminishes Arabs and attempts to portray the US military in a favorable manner.
Moreover, the famous performer, known by her birth name Sofía Lauren Daccarett Char, is a member of one of Colombia’s most notorious and despised families. This family has been involved in numerous illegal activities including but not limited to human and drug trafficking, terrorism, and other similar offenses.
Additionally, Sofia expresses her backing for Zionism, a movement that condones the despicable actions of Israel, a nation that has been responsible for numerous mass killings in Palestine.
Sometimes I think to myself it can’t possibly be worse and then it gets worse. Sofia Carson is a Zionist and a pretty obnoxious one at that considering she’s practically Braun’s parrot. #HYBEDivestFromZionism https://t.co/y5e7ZYZpZM pic.twitter.com/3Urf0y0UOD
