Supporters of Jung Kook and Usher‘s ‘Standing Next to You’ remix were buzzing when the sizzling tune first dropped on December 1, however – in a surprise turn of events – the December 15 unveiling of its official music video turned that celebration into competition when the fan groups turned on each other in defense of their favorite performer.
As of time of this report, the K-Pop and R&B star are sitting in the top 20 of the real-time Apple Music, iTunes, and Spotify charts of dozens of countries including the United States thanks to the remix of the former’s single ‘Standing Next To You.’
Granted, the song’s original incarnation (found aboard Jung Kook’s debut solo album ‘Golden‘) may have already been a hit by its lonesome but the addition of the ‘Burn‘ hitmaker reignited public attention so much the Andrew Watt-produced bop could be on pace to re-enter the Billboard Hot 100’s top 40 next week.
The negative side of that attention reached a feverish pitch on social media Saturday (December 16) when Usher saw his name trending to the tune of over 114,000 tweets thanks to ongoing bashing from BTS fans who suggest the 45-year-old was having difficulty “keeping up” with his 26-year-old counterpart.
When followers of the GRAMMY-winning ‘Nice & Slow’ singer tapped in to defend him, it goes without saying their responses weren’t so nice.
See highlights below.
At writing, Usher nor Jung Kook has responded to the hoopla.
