Good thing is that ARMY is more or less focused on Jimin.
I do think it's UMG and not Geffen that's responsible even for digital distribution but I do hope whatever happened now won't happen in the future.
The next is Jin (it seems) and it will be his first solo album. I hope he gets the best promotion possible.
