The three most important people in my life are born on the 3rd of November

My grandmother; who I get my loudness, my true crime and murder mystery fascination and my love-hate relationship with maths from

My youngest sibling: who is too much like me for their own good and I will keep under my wing forever and protect them

JungKook "Guadagna l'Oro" al Primo Colpo

__ Una recensione del suo nuovo album, GOLDEN __

__ di SEO SEONG-DEOK | 14. 11. 2023

Twitter  |  Orig. KOR 

Con il rilascio di “Seven" (feat. Latto), quest'estate, Jung Kook ha dato il via alle promozioni del suo album di debutto solista, GOLDEN, in quello che potremmo descrivere come il suo arco (creativo) d'oro. Col senno di poi, appare chiaro che “Seven” era già un indizio delle idee e valori che stanno dietro la creazione di GOLDEN. La versione esplicita non fa solo uso di un linguaggio forte, ma vede anche riferimenti sessuali legati all'amore che può nascere tra due persone. Nel contesto pop, è ormai storia vecchia, ma per qualche motivo il K-pop sembra aver sempre evitato questo territorio, finché questa canzone non è esplosa nella scena musicale coreana. Ed il fatto che Jung Kook sia sempre stato – e forse dovremmo dire, sempre sarà – il più giovane del gruppo non è l'unico motivo per cui questa traccia è giunta così inaspettata. Molti media coreani sembrano far finta che il verso “I’ll be f**king you right” non esista. E il fatto che la canzone sia completamente in inglese probabilmente aiuta. È lo stesso Jung Kook ad aver affrontato questo enorme tabù con un semplice, “Quanti anni ho?”

“Sono contento si percepisca un senso di maturità”, ha detto Jung Kook nella sua recente intervista con GQ. “Ma non è stata una cosa intenzionale. Più un risultato naturale, direi.” E questo significa sostanzialmente che non si è mai preoccupato intenzionalmente di scrivere altri brani espliciti o scervellato più di tanto riguardo le tematiche da trattare. Le tracce di GOLDEN seguono il percorso emotivo coinvolto in una relazione sentimentale: le prime scintille d'amore in “Closer to You” (feat. Major Lazer) e “Yes or No”, la sicurezza sconfinata di “3D” (feat. Jack Harlow) e “Standing Next to You”, la disperazione più nera in “Hate You” ed il dolore derivato dalla rottura in “Too Sad to Dance” e “Shot Glass of Tears”.

Jung Kook non ha scritto né prodotto alcuna canzone in quest'album, optando piuttosto per rivolgersi ad autori e produttori fidati. Mentre il primo è un caso piuttosto raro, se guardiamo quali sono i trend del momento nell'ambito della produzione musicale in studio, quest'ultimo – il rivolgersi ad autori e produttori esterni – è la norma.

“Standing Next to You” è una traccia eccezionale prodotta da Andrew Watt - autore anche di “Seven” - e Cirkut. Shawn Mendes è tra i co-autori di “Hate You”. Ed Sheeran ha partecipato alla stesura di “Yes or No”, per cui ha suonato anche alcune parti alla chitarra. Jung Kook trae ispirazione dai suoi gusti musicali per selezionare delle belle tracce e poter successivamente dare prova delle sue incredibili abilità canore su questi brani pop. Ma mentre la traccia UK garage“Seven” e “3D”, che è in stile anni 2000, ci hanno mostrato cos'è la musica rètro per questi artisti più giovani, “Standing Next to You” oltrepassa sfrecciando Usher, fino ad arrivare - ben più indietro - a Michael Jackson, prendendo in prestito il suo sound funk/disco. L'album non si limita a giocare sulla linea pop, ma si rifà anche alla musica dance. “Closer to You”, prodotta in collaborazione con Major Lazer, presenta elementi di reggaeton, e “Please Don’t Change” featuring DJ Snake, è una sorta di ode a come il DJ ha saputo portare persino Justin Bieber alla ribalta.

Un album spesso è accompagnato da diverse aspettative: ambizione artistica, composizione organica, auto-rappresentazione. Tuttavia, un album è, innanzi tutto, un portfolio dei lavori dell'artista in relazione ad un dato momento e luogo. Il valore di un album si basa sull'impatto e le impressioni che sa lasciarsi dietro. Nel caso di GOLDEN, abbiamo la rinascita a vera e propria pop star di un membro di una boy band di impareggiabile successo. Dato che la storia tende a ripetersi, possiamo dire di aver già assistito a molti casi in cui il membro più giovane di un gruppo ottiene un enorme successo anche come solista. Robbie Williams, Justin Timberlake e Harry Styles sono tutti esempi di questo fenomeno, dopotutto. E forse non è una casualità. Forse dipende proprio dal fatto che coloro che iniziano la propria carriera musicale nell'adolescenza, hanno il privilegio di lavorare in un gruppo fin dalla più tenera età e diventare star del pop di grandissimo impatto e popolarità, anche grazie alle tante risorse messe a loro disposizione da quest'opportunità.

Però nessuno si sarebbe aspettato di vedere questa 'teoria del più giovane' trasposta anche nel K-pop. Probabilmente è anche merito del successo globale dei BTS se Jung Kook ha potuto collaborare con menti creative internazionali di altissima levatura, cantare esclusivamente in inglese di fronte al mondo intero e, infine, diventare una pop star in grado di dare il meglio di sé in generi musicali di suo gradimento, senza il rischio di incorrere in blocchi creativi.

Interpellato a riguardo, Jung Kook ha così definito il successo: “Non credo il successo debba essere qualcosa che siano altri a determinare. Semplicemente, quando si è soddisfattə di sé, felici, quando si affrontano difficoltà, ci si arrabbia – credo il “successo” sia sempre intrinsecamente legato a tutti quei momenti”. GOLDEN non è solo una storia di successo, dunque, ma anche uno sguardo sulla soddisfazione, la felicità, le difficoltà e la frustrazione che l'hanno accompagnato, nonché quelle a venire. E visto il costante ripetersi della storia, è una scommessa difficile a perdersi.

update 03.11.23 🕯

hey all,

i know i've been radio silent and i've fallen short on promises and whatnot, and i apologize for that.

heading into the new year, i wanted to ease my social media use for my own mental health. i've already limited my use on various sites and apps, some of which i've grown out of, and tumblr has been one of them.

since doing that, i've felt better about myself, and while not using tumblr (both this blog and my main) has been beneficial for me bettering my mental health, it has stayed in the back of my mind that i should've been updating more on this blog and at the very least try finishing the rejected series rewrite.

however, forcing myself to enter a state of mind to write when i cannot find the motivation or energy to do so makes my writing lackluster and, for better terms, terrible. i don't want to post something and constantly feel bad about it (i know i'll say something along the lines of me not being proud of a certain piece, or it's not my best, but oddly enough these do not count).

so with that being said, while i am still taking a step back from social media, i am NOT going to stop posting to this blog. it will be a few more weeks, at the very least, until the next part/preview of the next part comes out, but the series is not over nor is this blog going to end. :^)

while i do not have a set date for it, just know it is being worked on and edited, and should hopefully be up soon!

(rant under the cut -- if you don't want to read, you don't have to! if that's the case, i'll see y'all soon! ❤)

now, just going to put this here because it is alarming, the past few weeks have been draining for anyone on social media with a lot of negativity and people being bold and rude behind a keyboard. celebrities have essentially been forced off some social medias because people think they can talk as much shit as they want. that's absolutely abhorrent in my opinion. that's one of the reasons why i stepped back and limited my use.

i'm bringing this up in regards to a lot of hate both celebrities and non-celebrities have been getting over the years as social media has gotten popular to the point where people are just saying some of the most heinous things and posting whatever they feel with no regard to the person they're posting about. this could be someone at the gym, someone on the street, in a store, at school -- wherever. people have gotten way too comfortable posting whatever they want for clout and likes and it's at a point where it's dangerous.

do what you want online (as long as it's safe and doesn't endanger others), but for goodness sake be fucking kind and think about what you are about to post before doing so.

sorry for this rant but the constant hate trains online and major companies picking sides is genuinely sickening at this point.

anyway, if you read all this, thank you for listening to me babble and letting my silly brain talk <3 i'll be back soon!

La scorsa settimana, ho trovato un messaggio in bottiglia

C'era scritto, "Vattene, nessuno ti ama"

E non posso che trovarmi d'accordo

Così ieri sera sono andato al club

Ho dato di stomaco qualche volta di troppo

E ora tutti ridono di me

Perché sono troppo triste Troppo triste per ballare Sono troppo triste per ballare I miei amici sono d'accordo, mi sono lasciato trasportare Non ho che un cuore spezzato e nessuno da amare Ecco perché sono troppo triste per ballare E ora non faccio che aspettare fissando il telefono Ma tu non tornerai, avrei dovuto capirlo Ecco perché sono troppo triste per ballare

Oh, da-da-dam-da-da-da, da-da-dam-da-da-dam

Ecco perché sono troppo triste per ballare

Questa mattina sono venuto a bussarti alla porta

Solo per ammettere le mie mancanze

Ma tu mi hai detto che non ci credi più, mmh

E a Natale non ho ricevuto regali

Me lo merito davvero tutto questo?

Quindi sono andato dritto al negozio di alcolici, ah-ah

Perché sono troppo triste Troppo triste per ballare Sono troppo triste per ballare I miei amici sono d'accordo, mi sono lasciato trasportare Non ho che un cuore spezzato e nessuno da amare Ecco perché sono troppo triste per ballare E ora non faccio che aspettare fissando il telefono Ma tu non tornerai, avrei dovuto capirlo Ecco perché sono troppo triste per ballare

Oh, da-da-dam-da-da-da, da-da-dam-da-da-dam

Ecco perché sono troppo triste per ballare

Oh, da-da-dam-da-da-da, da-da-dam-da-da-dam

Ecco perché sono troppo triste per ballare

E allora l'altra sera ho chiamato mio padre

Mi ha detto, quando era ormai mattina,

"Non hai bisogno di alcuna storia d'amore"

Mi ha detto, "Tu va per la tua strada

Son solo tante belle parole, ma sai

Non hai bisogno di nessun altrə per ballare"

“You’re supposed to be in your tour van. Your bandmates would kill us when they find us here,” you chuckled, sipping the milkshake.

He shakes his head, disagreeing. Smiling, he corrects you, “They will not be mad at you, love. It’s only me who they’ll scold.”

With his leather jacket on your shoulders, you sit back and wrap yourself tighter in the thick cloth around you. A fond smile grows on your face, finding the man — with tousled hair and tight polo with folded sleeves on the elbows — very endearing, despite the contrast to his appearance. “Right, I’ll be an exception to the guys.” you rolled your eyes.

“I always tell them it’s all on me.” He picks up and eats a piece from the basket of french fries. “I won’t let them blame you as well if I’m the one who’s constantly pulling you to restaurants and diners after every show.”

“Like what we’re doing right now? Yeah, I think they know already. They don’t even have to think for a second.” You lean forward and take a sip once again. Minho snickers at the sight of you sipping nothing — you haven’t realized you finished your milkshake already, and you’re taking air only.

Confused by your beloved’s expression, you raise your eyebrow in question. Minho answers you, “There’s nothing in that glass anymore.” 

You look down at the glass and see there’s still that tiny drop left that you’ve been trying to get. You shake your head. “I just want to finish this milkshake until the last drop. There’s a tiny bit there that I still want to get!”

Minho shakes his head and laughs. “You’ve drunk most of it already. It’s time to let that go. I think I should bring you home already,” he said before he reached for your hand. He hears you puff, and he laughs once again.

You softly hold his hand back and roll your eyes — an action that Minho thinks you got from him rolling his eyes with the members frequently whenever he pretends to dislike his bandmates’ affection. “Sure, dad.”

The two of you walk back home under the moonlight with the biggest smiles. It has been a while since Minho took you out since he had to return to the tour for a few weeks. He finally did what he wanted now that the constant singing and guitar playing was over.

With Minho’s arm wrapped around you, you touch his hand on your shoulder and look at him. “Should we just go back to your bus and grab your things? Go back there after dropping me off at home.”

Both of you stop walking after your question. Minho hums and answers without hesitation, “The boys told me they’ll go home tomorrow since they’re exhausted. I think I can go back there tomorrow. My bags will stay there untouched.”

You pinch his cheek and ask, “And where do you think you’re going without your things?” You know the answer already, but you want Minho to say it word by word.

“I’ll be staying with you for the night, obviously.” He tightens his arm around you and pecks your head. “I finally get to spend some time with you. I should cherish that time before we have to work on a new album.”

Understanding his circumstances, you hum in contentment. Though, an idea makes your head turn to him. You suggest something to him, “You can stay in my apartment for a bit. It doesn’t have to be one night.” Do you think he’d be ecstatic?

Yes.

He happily nods. Minho does enjoy prancing around the four walls of your apartment. Aside from bringing his cats over to hear your squeals and see your grins, he just loves some good bonding time with you where you are most comfortable. If he has his guitar with him, he’d spend your afternoons serenading you with the cheesiest love songs and his soft voice to tease you and your warm cheeks. He’s always been aware of the effect of his soft voice whenever you’re with him. It’s a total contrast to his powerful voice when he has lines to sing with Jisung, Changbin, and Chan onstage.

“Absolutely! I’m glad you told me that. I wanted to spend my whole break with you, of course,” Minho scratches his head with his free hand. “I don’t want to barge in or overstay without your approval.”

Gasping, you pull him with all of your might, also wrapping your arm around Minho’s back. “It’s fine, Minho. You can stay whenever you want. No need to ask for permission because you’re living with me at this point.” You giggled as you feel yourself get warmer with your arms around each other’s backs.

When the two of you reached your home, prepared yourselves for bed. It was an hour of doing your own things with peaceful silence.

The talking began when you finally settled in your bed, blankets wrapping you both.

Minho breaks the silence. “By the way, how was the final show?” He awaits your answer by reaching for your hand as usual and pulling it under the blankets to kiss it.

You can’t help but laugh at the sight. “Sorry, I just can’t believe you’re like this outside of the stage.” And your thought’s not wrong. He does show a different side of himself whenever he’s onstage. The sharp eyes, the fierce energy, and the teasing personality — it all disappears whenever he’s with you.

Not to mention, he’s looking at you with the brightest eyes and the softest look on his face right now. You can’t seem to comprehend that Minho as a guitarist differs from Minho as your significant other. 

“About the show though, I loved it, as usual. Your shows really hit differently here in our hometown. Your guitar solo almost made me ascend.” Your last comment made you giggle together. “You’re the coolest person out there. I cannot believe I’m with one of the best guitarists and vocalists out there, you know? I love how you always enjoy being on stage with the boys.” You shared your thoughts while playing with Minho’s fingers.

Minho melts, unable to respond right away. He loves hearing your thoughts about the band’s shows. Even if you say the same things, your words never fail to touch his heart and make him love you even more.

“Thank you so much, _____. I’m joyful that you got to see our last show. It’s one of the most memorable shows we ever had. You got to be a part of it and see everything that happened,” he hushed, sleepiness finally kicking him in.

You pull him into your embrace and feel his lips on yours. “Thank you for letting me in your best moments. I’ll always be there, hopefully, to make everything better.” You combed his hair away from his face and also leave a kiss on his forehead.

“You’re also a part of every single memorable moment I ever had. And I am very sure that you will always be the reason I even get to experience such things.”

You two fell into a deep slumber in each other’s arms and comfort. Inarguably, it was Minho’s best snooze ever since he had to continue the tour. You, on the other hand, lost that feeling of loneliness. The two of you really proved that sleeping with each other’s the best method for great rest. 

That is why Minho’s not surprised that he woke up with you holding onto his shirt and your head on his chest. He held you in his arms for another hour until he got out of bed carefully, make some breakfast, and go back to the tour bus to take his things.

Supposedly, he’s going to message his bandmates. But his phone’s lock screen greeted him with several notifications.

chan: minho, i know you’re with _____

chan: i already returned to our apartment, no need to get your stuff back in the tour bus because i also brought your bags back here

chan: though, if you want to help jisung and changbin get out of bed, feel free to do so since they’re still staying in the bus

jisung: HEY! i’m up already! i’m gonna leave changbin here :p see you in two weeks guys!

chan: you’re not going back after two weeks

chan: you visited minho and i after he stayed in with _____ for a solid week, you cannot survive without us

jisung: ugh stop exposing me!

jisung: bye :DD love u all

chan: lol love u jisung

chan: your coffee beans will always wait for you here! 

Minho chuckles. He mumbles to himself, “I guess I can stay in bed a little longer.”

He walks back to your bed, lying down to leave a text to his bandmates.

minho: take care of my guitar! i’ll get it later when i go get groceries for dinner!

chan: sigh… we just finished tour! don’t tell me you’re back to writing songs again </3

minho: nope :p i have something to do with it that has nothing to do with that!

All he plans is to serenade you again, anyway. He thought it’d be great to give you another show just for you to see.

He lists down some songs in his notes as his “alternative set list” — which he wrote as the title of the note — as he waits for you to wake up to the smell of your aromatic breakfast. 

Though, you wake up to Minho trying hard not to squeal over the songs he listed. He knows you’d either cringe or obsess over his performances later, but he is sure that you’ll enjoy them, regardless.

Minho drops his phone to the side table and greets you with a beautiful smile on his face. He brings himself to your body. “Good morning, my love!”

🍉 This is it, For Palestine🍉

I don’t know where to start. I’ve never done something like this before. Never knowing if my voice out of millions will be heard. But none of that matters anymore. I’ve put all that fear aside and even if one person shares, if one person can find it in their heart to help. Even if one person shares this for their followers to see. its worth it.

People are dying and have been dying for five months. Dead, no longer living, no longer alive. No longer able to see the light of day, to enjoy their lives with their familes, their children, their loves ones or chase after their own dreams. All taken in less a second. Lied to about safe zones, trapped, and killed is a lesser manner than cattle. And for what? Tell me FOR WHAT? Because they simply live different then we do? Religion, money, somebody please tell me BECAUSE I DON”T UNDERSTAND. I am beyond the notion of angry. I look at them and I see people just trying to survive. They’re just trying to live like everyone else. We have the same hearts, same limbs, eyes, mouths, dreams…Whats the difference between their children and our children. Nothing. It’s hard for me to look at my own child and image if this horror was happening to us without breaking out into a sob.

Yet, the media, the nations their doing everything in their power to keep it all quiet. Like its not some serious ordeal to bomb a few several thousands of innocent people. Fuck they try to make it seem their doing the world a favor. I hate this stupid fucking nation and I mean that with my entire chest. I may have been born here but I do not stand with this governments. These old ass cruel and evil men and women who have the power to stop this with the snap of their fingers. But they DONT. THEY REFUSE. And still the nation parades themaround like show dogs. I’m amazed, baffled how a little green rectangle comepletly bewitches you old fucking white men.

Please, please, please, I’m begging on my fucking knee’s for anyone reading this to hear Palestines cries. America has tried to convince us we don’t matter in all of this but we do. We matter the most. We HAVE to spread this like wild fire and we have to do it NOW. No one deserves genocide. No one deserves to die under a bomb buried in ruble. And I an’t stress this enough, children included. Children brutally mustered before their lives have even begun. What they’ve done to the people of Palestine is everything evil and vile. I’ve tried my best to compile a list of resources that will help the people of Gaza/Rafa/Palastine. And please feel free to add more, this is it. If you’ve been waiting for a sign, for a moment. This is it.

I’m sorry I had to use the tags in my favor. I have to make sure this reaches as many eyes as possible.
