Jimin & Jungkook - Birthdays are Special 2016 - 2019

See 2013 to 2015 here. 

Before we get to Jungkook’s next birthday, we must discuss Jungkook’s Coming of Age Day. What is the Coming of Age Day ceremony in South Korea? 

“Coming of Age Day” ceremony is held on the Monday of the third week of May and performed by men and women turning 20 in the same year to signify their debut into adulthood as independent individuals. Source.

Jungkook celebrated his Coming of Age day on May 16, 2016 while in Bergen, Norway with his Bangtan brothers. They were there filming their very first season of Bon Voyage. Jungkook’s hyungs threw a small surprise party for him and the following day they celebrated with ARMY on V Live. 

On Coming of Age Day, many people will receive three gifts from their friends: a kiss, a flower (usually a rose), and perfume. Source. You can see in the video, Jungkook gets teased about which member will give him a kiss.

Jungkook doesn’t let the Coming of Age celebration end in Bergen. He keeps the party going all the way through FESTA where he performs a dance duet cover of Park Ji Yoon’s Coming of Age Ceremony with Jimin.

20161013 Jimin’s 22nd Birthday

Jungkook posts a funny picture of Jimin with the caption: 

Is this what you want? Jimin, congratulations.

https://twitter.com/BTS_twt/status/786251627254599680

Bangtan shares Jimin’s surprise party with us in this Bangtan Bomb. Tae has the honor of giving Jimin the flowers that Jimin’s father sent.

In the BTB, all the members are seen talking about giving JM gifts except for JK. He stays quite in the background.  BUT we know JK gave ONLY Jimin a gift this year because it was mentioned in the 2017 FESTA video. 

I think it is interesting to note that Jungkook never really answers the question Why did you only get a present for Jimin? even though Jimin tells him he has no time limit to explain and tells him to Say everything you want. Jimin really wanted to hear Jungkook’s answer.

VOGUE Research & Deadline Extension:

While looking through the VOGUE archives to find inspiration for my own image, I interestingly came across a few covers that are slightly leading/ derogatory towards women. The older covers, demonstrate the ‘ideal’ model in a tight, short corset, and has a women removing her ‘mask’ from her face. The newer covers, have leading imagery, a sexual gaze, and, in the case of Kendalls cover, has text supporting the imagery with objectifying undertones (‘the face that launched a billion likes’). While I thought these were interesting to look at, I am unsure if I will swap any of my postcards out at this stage.

Additionally, we were notified today that we would be getting a department extension of five days for the summative deadline. This makes the critical commentary due on Friday the 15th of October and the postcard and images set due on Friday the 22nd of October.

Your mum said there’d been tantrums. Mate… you’ve got to learn to control yourself. You’re too old for this.

Hilarious.

I was thinking to share this at my instagram… But I think this place is more suitable to say everything… ✴️✴️✴️✴️✴️✴️✴️

I was just a little girl then I find Japanese culture. It was an inspiration for me. Nobody knew about this except my family. After some time I was tired of my music playlist (there was basically only jrock music) and I wanted some new music. I searched on YouTube and I find BIGBANG - Haru Haru. It was the ending of 2009. At that time I recognised South Korea music and culture too. After a while I find BIGBANG forum.. I registered and at 20100213 I become an official fan of BIGBANG, VIP. I was happy. Really. Because of them I fell in love with music, I started writing… And Im still doing that. I was so happy.. Later on I find Shinee’s Ring Ding Dong MV. And I was impressed with Jonghyun’s voice… Lucifer MV’s I was impressed with Taemin… From YG ent I supported BIGBANG. They are really meaningful to me. They built my personality. I am thankfull to them. From SM ent I supported Shinee.. Everything were fine… Later on I find attractive other groups like Super Junior, FTISLAND, UKISS, GIRLS GENERATION, The Trax, 2ne1, 2PM and so on. I was kind of multifandom person. But everything changed… Actually nobody supported let’s say so my hobby… At school I was bullied because of this desicion. My family couldn’t transfer me to another school so easily because my mom was a teacher at that school and she would be scolded if the school would lost their student… (it was a small school so every person was needed if that school wanted to exist). So I decided to fight until 8th grade. Because after 8th grade I could leave that school and go to Gymnasium (9th - 12th grade). It was hard. I spent all breaks with earphones, listening to korean pop music and imagine things, how I gonna go to MAMA awards and to see them all… Or going to the concerts, even being on the same stage (I was studying at music school since 2nd grade until 12th grade). I waited till I can come back at home and write my fanficion or my diary. But I was just in a 6th grade. My mental health was never strong enough. Especially after my only friend/classmate decided to go to another school after 5th grade. She was my only friend who at least tried to support me. But desicion was made by her parents. I was shocked. I was thinking that if Im friends with someone it would last forever.. It was so childish of me. We stopped talk to eachother really soon. I tried to became friends with other girls in my class.. But for them I was always a weirdo. But one of them somehow started to see me as her friend. I was happy. I think now I could finally be happy.. But she do not support me, I had to be with them other person. I changed my personality so easily. I stopped listen to a music I really loved and I was still bullied by my boys in the class. They even punched me to my stomach, kicked my legs. My mom was shocked… She had a conversation with two of them. She told them: “What do you think if she couldn’t have a child in a future?”. I couldn’t understand what that means… I just wanted everything to be over… I wanted to be happy. I find rock music and emotional people like me also. At that moment I was thinking this is the great path to choose, finally I have someone I can talk with… But it was a big mistake of me… I started to see my demons… And started to think about life meaning… Why people are dying.. Why we have to.. At 7th grade I transformed to emo style… My mom was sad… I was sad and screaming all the time at home… My little sister came into this world.. And I was not the only one… In the family. That fact.. It was easy to understand. I was happy. Just for a some moments… But I was still lonely.. I tried to be back with Korean music.. But it was too hard for me… Later on, I finally made into Gymnasium. New people. Everything should be fine, right? It wasn’t. Because of some metalistic girl I break a law. I was drinking alcohol near the church then police came. I wasn’t drinking much. But still. It was bad. But because I wanted to be loved by others I made that stupid desicion… After that incident.. I started to think more about myself. I wanted to runaway from myself… I wanted to be happy, kind person I was… But I couldn’t comeback… When I tried, my new classmates started to bullying me. They taken my things and putting somewhere else. Not all classmates were like that. I started to friends with one classmate. But still she hated my taste in music. She laughed at me… Even though she supported that emo side… Why girl.. Why… She also lefted me like my first friend. I even didn’t knew anything about that… But I was happy because it was hard with that class too. I also started to date my classmate… It was such a big mistake… I did that because I guess I didn’t wanted to be alone… But I was alone… I had a band at that moment… And after one concert I felt embarrassed… Nobody loved music in my band like I did… I realised.. That for other members.. It was just a game… And actually all that rocknroll damn emo thing… It makes me so annoying… I was really tired of that… So.. I disbanded my band. I focused on education and I also breakup with my classmate after 2 months in relationship. I finally started to recover… 11th grade was finished. I started to listen to korean music, I was so happy. Finally I had a true friends and they supports me. I also was happy because my mom give a birth to my little brother.. I was soo happy… But at my 18 bday my other classmate… Who was friend with that classmate who I used to date decided that he also could get me and that would be easy… I was shocked.. Because I couldn’t see him more than just a friend… He kissed me… And I couldn’t stopped him. It was disgusting.. But I didn’t wanted to hurt him. (eventually I did…Because I hurted his feelings). So, after my bday at the next day June 23 we had a goodbye party at my friends house. Because she was leaving to Norway for a summer. She is from my first class.. That girl who I mention before. Who started to be friends with me at 6th grade. At that party was my childhood friend who decided to bring his friend. We didn’t knew him. And what is ironic? That friend he eventually became my boyfriend. My first and still the only one true relationship. We started dating at 20150711. He was amazing. I was happy.. Finally someone really likes me. And appreciate me. But at that same month 20150721 my friend from Turkey was murdered at the bomb attack. That was really hard to deal with it. It broke my soul. My boyfriend helped me… But sometimes I cried like crazy… And after his death I started to listen rock music once again. And this time it was like a trap. My boyfriend. I though he liked Asian culture like I did.. But it wasn’t a case. He just wanted impress me. So it became hard to believe him. We fought a lot. And I was at 12th grade.. I have my graduation exams.. I also had to decide what I want to study after finishing school.. It was a really stressful time. But I decided to stop. I decided to once again focus on a dream I had as a kid. So 20160901 I started my korean language studies at university. It was new place, new community, new city, different people. But we all love Asia… And it was a great desicion… For me at that moment. Eventually, my boyfriend decided to left me… And at that same damn day he almost did not raped me. It’s hard… We were together for 1 year and almost 3 months. He never pushed me. Idk what happened to him that day… And he lefted me. It was… For me… Such a big deal. Because I give him all me, my soul, my body, my heart.. We were talking about life together.. And he wanted that. Not me. He was who suggested that. But he decided to choose bar, beer, girls over us. I fell in a deep depression. I started to have trust issues. And I still have it. I lost my friends at university, they couldn’t deal with my negative minds… I was toxic for myself and others… I had just one friend… And she is still by my side. I love her… But she also didn’t knew how to help me. It was the first time I really wanted to end everything… I cut my wrist… (Im left handed), I drink two beers and one spiritual alcoholic drink.. I even filmed myself… I really couldn’t believe he lefted me… He throw me.. I was just a used b*tch like he told my friend… My life was broken. Because of him I didn’t want to go to Korea… I loved him.. And I wanted to be a great woman for him… I was blinded by feelings that he even disrespected. And after that incident… My ex’s sister tried to lock me at the hospital.. To take a treatment… But psychiatric told me that I could deal with everything by myself. I believed in that but at the same time I pushed that. After some time other boys wanted to be my friends from university… But they wanted to be more than my friend…. I couldn’t.. I was still his girl… And they lefted me… Two more people throw me like I was a trash… After 6 months after my break up I started to heal. I started to fight… I went to organisation.. I though I find new people.. But it was once again a failure. They never saw me as I am one of the organisation’s members… It was hard.. They started gossiping about me and lying things after I left… Also my physical health went worst… I couldn’t believe how people could do that to me… I want to be wanted but you just all are using me as you wanted and then you throw me like a trash… Also some other guy used me as a cure from his breakup… And he made up with her later… At that time.. I wanted to kill myself… To really kill myself… I was exhausted… About Everything… I didn’t see any light in my life once again… It was a second time then I…. I… Cut my right hand… And I still have those scars… But I managed to reach my 20th bday. It was at this summer… I decided to be myself… I started to go with my bestie and my childhood friend to hangout.. Everything was fine. Until I find one guy… I don’t know why… But I tough Im finally free so I could be trying to trust someone else… And it was a bad desicion. Because my childhood friend tried to touch me… Even he knew everything what I went through… He said it was a joke..but I was traumatised.. I tough that all men wants just that… I realised that I couldn’t trust the new guy, so I wanted to cut all the connections with him… Guess what… He already slept with another girl at the festival… Even though he knew my past and even though he told me he likes me and want to be with me… And he told me after that, that it was my fault that he had done that. Because he tough that I hated him… I was shocked… But I realised that he would never gonna push me over to the same damn thing that I already went. No. I cut all the connections with my childhood friend and him. Finally I was free. Second year of university started. I decided to focus on my education. I started to listen more kpop. And my puzzle were almost finished. However, that guy who used me as a cure.. He came back… And he wanted a help from me. To be just his friend… I couldn’t push him. Because of what I went through… Even I released that cut I made because of him was so stupid action… So I helped… I was a fool… He used me once again… Even though I believed in him… He also tried to impress me and that’s why he always listened to my darkest thoughts. I still couldn’t trust no one… My friend circle that I was building really hard… Just one friend was left.. Thank you God… She is still with me… Im still critique myself… Because of my choices… So… He decided to left me until he recovers from his breakup. When he texted me I decided to stop. I stopped. I studied hard, supported my family, I was smiling and happy, I decided to take an opportunity to have a second major at business administration… I was happy… I survived this winter exam session. My holidays started… I went to my parents house. I was listening kpop music BIGBANG, PENTAGON, WINNER and so on… Even Shinee old songs… And I remembered my old school days… When I found this KWORLD… And how it actually makes me happy… They built my personality… Even though I had these ups & downs… They always were my reason why Im still looking and believing into future. And I was pushing this pure world so many times because of others… Because I couldn’t stand loneliness… Because I was afraid to be an artistic mind person who I am since birth… I was so afraid that I wanted to die… But at every time I wanted I looked at BIGBANG and at SHINEE and others kpop groups… They helped me to reach my 20s… And finally I find peace… At December 18th morning I dreamed that Im with alot of people I don’t know… And I saw a boy with dark hair he told me that he is finally going to be free… I couldn’t see his face… I Even don’t know if his hair were really dark… After that I saw an animal dying in a river… And then I wake up. I saw all news about Taeyang weddings & I was so happy for him. At that time in Korea was around 15pm… And you know… He was still alive… He was still preparing.. While I was screaming from happiness… My friend from Korea told me if I knew what happened.. Of course I didn’t… And after I heard… I just couldn’t believed… I was waiting… And waiting… For the statement.. But I already knew… He was dead… I felt really bad… I though if I was more supportive… If I was more stronger to deal with myself… Maybe I could saw his signals… I was angry and Im still am. People commenting about depression how is hard and so on… It looks like it is easy to talk about it… But it’s not… I opened everything for the first time… Because I want to tell people what it is really means to suffer… How it is hard to find a light… I was thinking about my little siblings… What if something happens to my parents? Im an adult… I have to take my siblings… I have responsibilities… I just can’t left them alone… Even though it’s really hard to live…. And after I had reading his letter… I though that Im reading one of mines… I was telling so many same things… I was asking same damn things even before his death.. And Im still asking… I hate death… I do not want to put my parents in a box and hide it like some used trash…. I just can’t… And these kind of thoughts push me to go and do not try to kill me…. You know what people are saying that the third time…. I had my two… Im really afraid… Because his death… Made my childhood world shaking… I thought they would for me… But Because of my mental I couldn’t be for them… Even though Im tried… And then I finally really came back… Jonghyun 오빠… Decided to die at my mom’s birthday… Moms bday, Taeyang wedding… I was so happy… And then boom… Sadness made a comeback to my life… I just want to be happy… I just want to know why we are killing eachother… I just want to know what is the meaning… I just want to be happy… But life saw me as a trash… Since beginning… And Im fighting.. And I even do not know for what… I do not believe in love anymore. I do not trust people anymore. Mates at my uni don’t like me… They laugh at me then I though I was doing everything fine… I just though that KWORLD would be still the same… Im sorry… Im really sorry… For everything.. Those feelings you shared… I know it all. Im depressed since I was a kid… But Im telling to myself that everything is going to be alright… It have to … But you are not here… Im sorry… Im really sorry… Maybe if you had readed my stupid life story.. Maybe you knew that you are not alone… Im also not talented I can’t write anything… No one notice my makings… I don’t know how to deal with it but Im trying… Im afraid but Im trying… Im really thankful to you. And to you who readed this rock of my heart… I just wanted to help everyone who reached me in my life. I want all people to smile. So please SMILE.

Rest well, Kim Jong Hyun, the Angel of Shinee.

Modern Sports in Modern Politics

By Brian Uhler, University of Chicago Class of 2021

August 5, 2020

In recent years, many professional athletic associations have become increasingly involved in various political issues and certain players in particular have sparked this trend. From the NFL (National Football League) to the MLB (Major League Baseball), it seems to some that we are now living in an age in which everything can and must be politicized. So, what exactly has created this trend and why is it gaining such rapid popularity? Is it because these organizations genuinely care about the social issues plaguing the United States, is it because they think they can pick up some quick cash by pandering to the masses, or is it some of both?

Most recently, the MLB has jumped on this trend. Baseball has featured “BLM” on the pitcher’s mound, and while one might think that the person in charge of putting the “MLB” logo on the pitcher’s mound might have just made a disastrous spelling error, this was actually intentional – “BLM” stands for “Black Lives Matter”, a movement centered on protesting police violence against African-Americans. This happened almost instantaneously upon the start of the 2020 season; due to the current pandemic, the MLB had to adopt a shortened, 60-game schedule starting in late July. (1) The MLB has publicly stated that they stand firmly in solidarity with the BLM movement and will listen to the African-American community and enhance the voices of the African-American players in the league. (2) Interestingly enough, while baseball was one of the first sports to racially integrate, its past is remarkably checkered with racism. For many years, African-Americans were not allowed in the MLB, and even after integration many team owners colluded to prevent the signing of African-American players to their teams. However, there are numerous African-American players in the league today, and in support of those players and of the African-American community as a whole, both the Washington Nationals and the New York Yankees knelt before the National Anthem in solidarity. However, while this action was widespread among the MLB teams on their respective opening days, Sam Coonrod, a pitcher on the San Francisco Giants, did not kneel. Coonrod says that he is a Christian, and as such, he ”can’t kneel for anything besides God.” (3)

However, while the MLB is the most recent professional sports organization with players that have chosen to adopt performative actions like this, it is far from the first. Of the recent uptick in political issues in sports, none is more recognizable than former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick. In a 2016 game against the Chargers, Kaepernick knelt during the National Anthem as a way to protest wrongdoings against minorities. (5) This action sparked great controversy, with many asking if this action constituted a disrespect of the flag and the members of the United States military that have died for the freedoms of citizens across the country. Around the time of this incident, a photo of Kaepernick surfaced in which he wore socks that depicted police officers as literal pigs. Kaepernick said that he wore these socks because rogue cops are allowed to hold positions in the police departments, which puts communities in danger. However, during this time, Kaepernick was also battling for his job as the 49ers starting quarterback. Only months after the beginning of the controversial incident, Kaepernick was benched (removed from the game) during a game by the coaching staff due to a spectacularly poor performance against Chicago Bears. During the game, Kaepernick completed 1 of 5 passes (an absolutely horrible percentage) for a total of 4 (four) yards and was sacked (tackled in the backfield) 5 times, all within 3 quarters of playing. For those that do not know much about football, if your favorite team’s quarterback has thrown for four yards in a game, your team is most definitely getting destroyed. In fact, his performance in this game made Kaepernick the first quarterback in NFL history to be sacked 5 times and throw for fewer than 5 yards in the same game – quite the “accomplishment.” (4)Kaepernick said in a post-game interview that he was surprised that he was benched, and also mentioned that he believed that the cold and wet Chicago weather played a substantial role in his poor performance. After the 2016 season, Kaepernick decided to opt out of his contract with the 49ers and become a free agent, a player able to be signed by any team. However, the 49ers coaching staff made it clear that had Kaepernick not opted out of his contract, he would have been cut from the roster anyway due to his performance and disagreements with the coaching staff over how to run their offense. (6)

In addition to the MLB and NFL, the NBA (National Basketball Association) has also dipped its foot in the huge pond of politics and social issues. For its 2020 season, the NBA has decided to paint “Black Lives Matter” on many of its courts. Additionally, NBA commissioner Adam Silver said that the league has created a foundation to “expand institutional and economic opportunities across the Black Community.” (7) However, this action is far from the first time that the NBA has been a notable part of a political discussion. The NBA has substantial popularity in China, and when Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey tweeted support for the pro-democracy protests taking place in Hong Kong, the streaming companies that are responsible for streaming the games in China immediately stopped all NBA streams. This backlash was amplified when Adam Silver voiced his support for Morey’s right to his freedom of expression. However, it is estimated that the business there is worth around $4 billion. (9) Since then, the streaming companies have quietly begun streaming NBA games in China once more. There have not been many public statements regarding why this happened, but it can be inferred that some conversations regarding the issue took place. While the public may never know what happened in those conversations that resulted in the multi-billion-dollar industry being restored in China, it is rather interesting to note that when a person attempts to order a customized jersey from the NBA’s website, that person was at first unable to customize the back of a jersey to say “Free Hong Kong.” (8) After significant backlash, the NBA’s online store claimed that there was an error on the site. So, was this a situation in which the NBA backed down to China’s demands and attempted to censor people that disagreed with China’s stance on the pro-democracy protests of Hong Kong? Maybe.

In light of the recent trend of professional sports teams and organizations to get involved in political and social issues, we as a country can hope that this trend will result in increased justice and awareness in our country and that we continue to move in the right direction. At the same time, we also hope that these billion-dollar corporations truly have the best intentions in mind, and they are not simply pandering to people to make money.
