BTS Jungkook's much-anticipated solo debut album, "GOLDEN," was released to the delight of ARMYs on November 3, 2023.
However, the excitement surrounding the album's release took an unexpected turn when fans noticed an unusual description on the music streaming app Apple Music, which led to a flurry of reactions and calls for correction.
Apple Music's Controversial Descriptions
The controversy began when Apple Music described two tracks from the album in a rather unconventional and explicit manner. "Seven (feat. Latto)" was characterized as being about "the power of good sex," and "3D (feat. Jack Harlow)" was described as being about "the limits of good phone sex."
These descriptions, far from the usual professional and respectful tone of music platforms, left ARMYs shocked and dismayed.
Adding to the concerns, some ARMYs noticed another inaccuracy in Apple Music's description of Jungkook. The description erroneously claimed that Jungkook, unlike his fellow BTS members, had not been interested in songwriting or producing.

This factual inaccuracy incited further backlash from fans who are well aware of Jungkook's active involvement in songwriting and production throughout his career.ARMYs pointed out this discrepancy, demanding that Apple Music rectify this mistake and show the artist the respect he deserves.
Netizens' comments:
- "I don't know which b$tcha$ mf at apple music wrote that under Jk's official profile but they better change it asap before i find out who it was. it's absolutely disgusting"
- "Apple Music needs to get their facts straight! How can they mess up Jungkook's song description?!"
- "Seriously, Apple Music? This is not just inaccurate, it's also NSFW? Get it together!"
- "ARMYs won't stand for this! Let's make some noise until Apple Music fixes their mistake!"
- "Jungkook's 'GOLDEN' deserves better than this disrespectful description. Apple Music, do better!"
- "Apple Music, you're supposed to support artists, not misrepresent their work. Fix this now!"
In response to the mounting pressure and criticism from ARMYs, Apple Music took action and edited portions of the description.
While the explicit content descriptions remained, the inaccurate statement about Jungkook's involvement in songwriting and producing was revised. This change was met with a sense of relief among ARMYs, who appreciated Apple Music's prompt response to their concerns.
While the descriptions may have caused some initial shock and discomfort, it is heartening to see the quick correction and acknowledgment of the error by the platform. Jungkook's "GOLDEN" remains a highly anticipated and celebrated solo project, with ARMYs continuing to support and champion their beloved artist.
