────────── HIS TRIVIA.

he was born in yuseong-gu , daejeon , south korea.

his family consists of : mother , father , younger sister , and a younger brother , but he doesn’t keep in contact with his mother as much as the others.

education : daejeon juan elementary school , daejeon oesam middle school , korean arts high school , global cyber university.

he is transgender ftm ( female to male ) and was outed against his will in 2O15 after a series of childhood photos arised of him dressing and looking like a girl.

yeonix has always had a passion for making music ever since elementary school. he had his own little hip hop band where he was the main rapper and they would often play at talent shows.

he was very popular with the girls in school because he often broke out of gender norms and outdid a lot of boys in sports and music.

he was easily scouted by the big three and various agencies after a video of him and his hip hop group playing at a talent show was uploaded online.

he chose to go with bighit after finding out they wanted to debut a hip hop group.

he was the second member to join bighit after namjoon. yeonix and rm have known each other the longest out of all of the members , excluding the jeon twins.

j-hope said yeonix drinks a glass of milk at least twice a day. he thinks it will make him taller over time and the members always encourage this thought process , telling him he seems taller every now and again. (14.09.16 vlive)

yeonix says the body part he is most confident about on himself is his biceps.

he says one good thing about his height is that he can be carried around by the other members all day. yeonix is actively the member who has to use his feet the least because of this.

initially , the other members didn’t know yeonix was transgender until he was outed.

his favourite colour is gold.

when asked to rank the most attractive member , he said that rm was exactly his type , but the jeon twins come at a tied second place. he thinks rm is the most attractive member in bts.

he is described as a ‘ musical prodigy ’ for his all roundedness in music. he can play many instruments , produce , and compose songs , as well as write lyrics.

he has 22O songs attributed to him as a songwriter and composer as of 2O23.

his favourite number is ten.

he is a great cook but doesn’t like to do it often unless it’s for himself. one of his love languages is when he cooks for someone else to show his gratitude.

he assisted with the production of many of txt’s songs such as ‘ blue hour ’ and ‘ 0x1=lovesong ’ being amongst the most notable ones.

he said he often checks his hashtag on x to see the type of content army posts about him. (19.08.22 weverse live)

he was nicknamed ‘ korean hinata shouyo ’ for his incredible ability to defy gravity. he can jump the highest within bts.

he went to high school with jimin and v. the three boys were said to be the ‘ radiant trio ’ amongst their peers.

yeonix was diagnosed with panic disorder towards the end of 2O16 and regularly goes to therapy for it. this disorder is exacerbated when he’s alone or under immense stress.

in the dorm , yeonix is in charge of keeping the toilets clean.

hobbies : working out , writing poetry , learning to play various instruments , reading , going on walks.

he knew he wanted to be a rapper after coming across hip hop duo outkast. he has all of their albums to date.

he is deemed the scariest member within bts and is considered the second leader of the group after rm.

yeonix’s motto : “ not everything is a lesson. sometimes you just fail and that’s okay too. ”

when they were living together in the dorms , yeonix said he would often scare the other members unintentionally because they would come into the kitchen to fill up their water bottles at night whilst he was there eating a snack without any lights on.

he is the father to two pet dogs. one is a maltipoo and the other is a german shepherd whose names are lucky and cham respectively.

people’s first impression of yeonix is that he’s a charismatic sweet talker. everyone always gravitates towards him and he is said to be the life of the party.

yeonix is ranked as one of the best rappers in kpop. he stands amongst others such as zico , g-dragon , and fellow members suga , rm , and j-hope.

yeonix’s ideal date : “ i wanna go to the gym together and work out. then after that , we can go to my house and learn a cute dance cover , maybe do some karaoke too. and when we’re really tired after such a long day , we can cuddle up against each other and fall asleep. that would be my ideal date. ”

💬 — other members about yeonix.

rm : “ i like to think i know him very well. he may only seem cute to some people , but there’s a multitude of sides to his personality. he’s built his career , his love , everything , from the group up. he’s a real fighter. i admire him. ”

v : “ he’s like a mix of old and young combined. sometimes i’ll see him and i think he could easily fool others into thinking he’s the maknae , but then his serious face intimidates me. he could be the hyung type too. he’s an all rounder in every way. ”

suga : “ the first time i saw him , i had to pause for a second. it was like looking into a mirror. we have very similar faces , but then i found out about all of his talents and i thought, ‘ this guy is way beyond my level ’. some people just have that gift. you can’t rival it. ”

s!nea : “ even though he’s younger than me , i feel like a lot of what i know comes from him. what it means to be a good idol , to be resilient , to be humble , all of it comes down to learning and i think he’s a great example of that. he tends to be the glue that holds us together in a lot of situations. ”

jungkook : “ he always looked out for me when i first joined the company. not that he doesn’t now , but i really want to return the favour towards this hyung. i want to protect him with all i’ve got. ”

jin : “ ah, that guy? he thinks being cute will get him out of trouble. he makes these silly sound effects and then smiles at me… i have to tell myself , ‘ aish , seokjin-ah , you can’t lose this battle. ’ it’s like a war zone out there. ”

j-hope : “ he’s way too cool , honestly. for someone of his talents , i don’t think the kpop category is enough to contain him. he’ll prove his international worth. he’ll outdo all of us. i don’t doubt it. ”

jimin : “ i think we’re the closest. we went to high school together and he was very popular then. seriously , it was like everyone wanted his attention. i have to take certain measures now when we’re around strangers. he’s too in demand. ”

dex : “ i have huge respect for hyung. he’s been through a lot but he never lets it keep him down for too long , you know? i look up to him in that way. he’s the embodiment of what it means to be a bulletproof boy scout. ”

in the dorm , he used to have a room to himself , but it was always raided by the other members. (180327: bts’ j-hope & jimin – more magazine may issue)

yeonix’s ideal type is someone who will love all parts of him equally. he wants someone who is attentive to their surroundings and is soft hearted underneath a firm persona.

My Dearest [S2L, F, Slight angst? EXTREMELY soft 🔪] SUMMARY: Reader is told to help Gordon trick the Addams family into believing he's the missing brother of Gomez Addams. However, Morticia and Jeongin suspect the man is a fraud. Their suspicion is slightly clouded by their positive view of Reader. Along the journey, Reader gains a dedicated "lover." A lover who drinks his respect juice every morning and snorts consent every chance he can get. How do the frauds get out of this mess? WARNINGS: Manipulation(Not from Jeongin), blood (nothing gory), talk of death (it's the Addams Family, what did you expect?), The reader is slightly taller than Jeongin (not too much but it is noticeable), Talk about killing for the reader's smile, Jeongin is a whipped simp, Gomez is a whipped simp for Morticia, Jeongin and Reader are a mini Gomez and Morticia. Jeongin follows after Gomez, so there is a little slight yandere in this. He's a soft yandere, but I understand that some people are uncomfortable about them.

Celina and Claire: "The Union's Forgotten Princesses,"

The Princesses Celina (Celina Anne Bach-Rodchester; born 10 May 1982) and Claire (Claire Tatiana Bach-Rodchester; born 25 September 1988) are the daughters of Princess Rose Mary and Josef, the Count March. They are the nieces of Queen Viviana I of the Ionian Union, first cousins to the children of Crown Prince Arnaut of Uspana ( @nexility-sims ), and first-cousins-once-removed to Queen Viviana II. Neither are in line to inherit the Ionian throne, as their Mother recinded her inheritance rights during the Monarchical Election of 1982. Though, Princess Celina will become the 4th Countess (9th Count) March. The title is currently held by their Father; its roots belong to the, long extinct its male line, Royal House of Wittenburg ( @royaltysimblr ). Neither sister performs duties as Working Members of the Royal Family, though, they do enjoy the Royal Stylization that was stripped from the non-mainline descendents of Viviana I. Their personal lives are not often seen by the common Ionian, nor the media. Neither are known to be in a partnership. Princess Celina has worked privately with many charitable organizations, the most notable being in the field of childcare. In March of 2019, she published her first childrens novel: When the Road Begins. All-the-while, Claire's professional and personal actions have taken a (public) backseat, her friendship with a peticular Princess Jade ( @theroyalcoldwells ) has been entirely notable. In 2022, it was rumored that the Princess began working at the French Embassy in Bergstrasse ( @empiredesimparte ) ; though such rumors are unconfirmed.

I thought it was a good time to make a post about my girls! While they're well loved and connected bts, they've never been in an actual story post---- I recently decided that should change, though >:D apologies for tagging everyone, but it's for the LORE D:&lt; speaking of: they're also related to the Valois ( @officalroyalsofpierreland )through mr emperor Jean Charles, but it wasn't a close enough relation for me to map it out in wiki-format.

(ranting? I think | also this might be problematic as hell I honestly dont know)

So you know this thing where people make OCs to put them in kpop groups? Like ATEEZ 9th member, NCT 24th member, BTS 8th member etc it deadass makes me cringe everytime. Like it's fine it totally is fine. But the fact they put female OCs in boygroups. I really am not against co-ed groups, and if they irl would add female or any gender members to the groups it's great I honestly love co-ed groups. But in kpop it just feels so weird and out of place to 'put' a female OC in a boygroup. Like it's a boygroup why can't you make a male oc then 😭 Maybe it has to do with the fact that they ship their OC with the members or that they try to make the OC have an amazing great personality and still receive hate and have a low self esteem. I also find Y/N or OC fanfictions cringe but I know lots and lots and lots of people like them. It's most probably a me thing. Also the low self esteem thing. Sometimes people know they're ultlra good looking but they complain about their looks just to get attention I kind of get that vibe of it. Also its seriously a personal thing that I dont like het stuff because I've been in hetero relationships and those were disasters. Anyways am I the only one thinking of extra member OCs like this?

Omg- SERIOUSLY! I never understood why they would create their female ocs when they could just make her a part of a girl group within HYBE and THEN get her to meet Jungkook (or whatever) that way by bumping into each other as they were walking. It would make MUCH more sense and it would be less cringier to read. Heck, they should make an NCT girl unit where they could meet each other whilst shooting for their NCT U filming. Now THAT’S the kind of thing I’d read since.

Also it’s fine. Y/N stories are usually my weak point and I’d prefer wacky ship stuff that are fun and not too serious. Something where you could get a good laugh out of it instead of something that came from a K-drama. I used to make a lot of parodies for fun but I haven’t made one since last year lol

Aaa- I had someone who was super annoying since they were always fishing for compliments, but never accepts them — especially if they roleplay in text. Also, as someone who has been hurt in the past, I feel that completely. I don’t like women and the feeling of being with one. They would make me so scared that I’d climb on the door to run away from them.

Also… pretty sure you’re not. Go for it, you’d make a fantastic extra member story!

Daily Thoughts: BTS’s Current Musical Direction (Permission to Dance, GRAMMYs, and more) !!

Haven’t done one of these in a while. Where do I even start? Shall I spilt this post into sections? Yes? Okay, let’s go..! Note: slightly(?) long post incoming.

Before we start, it’s important to note that BTS’s recent releases doesn’t negate any of their previous masterpieces. I won’t even bother beating the same dead horse of an argument especially when nothing stops new and old listeners alike from checking out the rest of their discography (which is available on all music streaming platforms). Ironically enough, when BTS made “darker” songs, they were told it’s too “angsty”. Now that they’re making lighter songs they’re being told it’s too “childish”. They really can’t please everyone, so why even bother.

Butter Era

PTD, Butter, and Dynmaite are all Bangtan’s Trojan Horse. For the longest they’ve been painted as a group of kpop boys that only teen girls listen to. Now that they’re making music in a language most people can understand (yes, because English is the closet thing we have to a global language), it’s changing the narrative. I’ve already met several people who gave listened to the previously mentioned tracks and decided to take a deeper dive into Bangtan’s discography. Something they never would have done otherwise due to the “language barrier.” Not everyone is as open-minded about something they can’t understand. Language being a prime example. BTS are now playing a game with rules set by an industry that rarely takes nicely to anyone who isn’t a white Caucasian male. They’re playing the game, and despite the criticisms, they’re winning at it.

If you didn’t already know BTS have been #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the past 6 weeks (as of today, July 9th) thanks to their song: Butter. And in a few days that could potentially be 7 weeks in a row. Which is phenomenal, to say the least. For those who still don’t know, the BB Hot 100 is the music industry standard chart for the United States. So, for a South Korean group to be topping it not once, but multiple times is one for the history books. My theory is Butter was meant to TEST the waters once again after Dynamite’s breakout success. And yes, I know many aren’t a fan of Dynamite, but you can’t deny the astronomical impact it’s had on their careers.

In their last vlive the member’s also mentioned how they recorded both Butter and Permission to Dance (PTD) at the same time. Which means they already had in mind how their next two releases would roll out. However, just like the unexpected success of Dynamite, I doubt they thought Butter would do THIS well. Actually I don’t doubt, I know because they said it themselves (see the video at the end of this post). Of course, the reason for their multiple #1s is thanks to mass buying by fans. But don’t get it twisted, none of that negates the fact that #1 is still #1. If there was an issue with fans mass buying music to chart their faves, then that’s for Billboard to solve. It’s not to the fault of BTS or ARMY (really, don’t hate the player, hate the game). Also, at least artists actually profit from their music being bought. Streams and radio play on the other hand...not so much (but that’s another topic for another day).

Initial Reaction to ‘PTD’

This section will be brief. PTD was co-written by 6x-Grammy award-winning singer and songwriter, Ed Sheeran. I’m pretty sure this alone played a huge role in why they decided to release PTD after Butter. It makes a lot of noise as is, and the promotion speaks for itself.

Truthfully, I’m currently listening to PTD as I type this. Why? Because it’s a good song. Actually good. Not that I’m surprised. I like it. It’s a fun, light song that has a nice message behind it. And the sign language was a meaningful touch. Once again, the way the members hyped up its released during the vlive said as much. They themselves said they liked it better than Butter (and probably even Dynamite). I can’t help but agree with those sentiments.

‘PTD’ Concerns

Now then. While PTD is a good song, this definitely wasn’t what I was expecting from BTS. BTS which for a reason have a distinct rapline and vocal line. Speaking of BTS...do they even have a rapline anymore at this point? Hahaha kidding of course they do. As much as I loved rapline’s vocals in this song, could the writers not have written more sensible lines? After having my fill of the melody, I took a look at the lyrics and some of the lines make zero sense. Specifically sope’s part. Tbh the only solid lines are the pre-chorus, chorus, & verse 1. Side note: I wish songs specified who wrote which line so I could specifically drag them, but I digress.

Speaking of writers, I’m a little sad that none of the members contributed to the lyrics of this song in any way, shape or form. Think about it: if an artist has zero contribution to their music, does that still make it worthy of praise? (I’ll circle back to this question towards the end of this post). Because of this reason is why I’m glad this was a completely vocal song. I couldn’t imagine a dynamite 2.0 with rapline’s nonsense verses. And in terms of verses, let’s be honest and admit the line distribution is horrid. But again, PTD is a pop song written by 4 caucasians (no offense to Ed)...so we’re we really expecting them to whip up a pen game worthy of rapline? No, not at all.

GRAMMYs Play

BTS’ current era is clearly a play at the Grammys (if that wasn’t obvious). Thankfully though, their songs appear to be progressing in sound, rather than regressing (PTD > 🧈 > 🧨) in that order. So kudos to them. The main reason I say why it’s a Grammy play is thanks to our most vocal members on this topic (Yoongi and Namjoon) who have stated on several occasions, (and I paraphrase) that “BTS are working towards a Grammy”. Now, is it wrong for BTS to want a Grammy? No, quite the opposite I’d say. Ambition is sexy. What’s wrong with aiming high? What’s wrong with wanting to accomplish something great? Truthfully, I’ve always been inclined to stand by the philosophy, “by any means necessary; the end justifies the means.” So what if BTS are making English songs after they said they never would? People change. Circumstances change. Goals change. That’s what makes us human. I’m not going to sit hear and be bothered by it. Especially when the members themselves appear to be actively embracing this new era.

Again, do I blame them? No. Which passionate musician doesn’t want a Grammy? Name one. Exactly. Unfortunately, we live in an era where western validation still predominates globally. So until that changes, just like an Oscar is the most “prestigious” award in the field of film, a Grammy speaks for music. I don’t make the rules, sorry.

I just wish BTS would be a bit more, shall I say, “inconspicuous”? about things. Literally no other artist at their level is releasing music at the speed that they do. Not that that’s a bad thing! It’s not a crime for a musician to release songs, Okay? BUT when it comes to them it’s been very obvious and very telling what the purpose behind their English releases implies.

GRAMMYs Win

Do I want BTS to win a Grammy? Yes, yes, 10000x yes. Yes, so they can finally give some of their actions as of late a freaking rest. Yes, so they can finally feel more at ease when it comes to venturing into solo activities. Besides a Grammy, there’s literally nothing else BTS need to “check off” or “prove” when it comes to their music. They’ve topped the charts, they’ve sold out stadium tours, they’ve won every music award possible in their respective musical categories. A Grammy is practically the finish line at this point. And maybe they won’t give it a rest after winning a Grammy. There’s no saying that winning once won’t push them into wanting another. Accolades tend to to have that yearning effect on people: “We did it once, we can do it again.”

Am I saying BTS “deserve” a Grammy? No. There’s no such thing as “deserving” when it comes to events like these. Lots of talented musicians have been snubbed when it comes to the Grammys. Similarly to how lots of “mediocre” musicians have won. The whole process has always been entirely subjective. However, I will note how some people might say things like, “neither Butter nor PTD are Grammy-worthy.” Well, I beg to differ. If Rain on Me stood a chance, them so does Butter and PTD (which as I’ve previous stated are both much much better songs than Dynamite in every aspect).

Would it be more meaningful for them to receive a Grammy for one of their Korean songs? Maybe. But does it really matter? Not really. They obviously see it for what it is. A Grammy is a Grammy, no matter what. And I say this because no one actually cares what an artist received a Grammy for—the point is that they have one (and they can brag about it). ‘Grammy Award-Winning Artist, BTS’ does have an incredibly nice ring to it.

Musical Direction

What does BTS have up their sleeve next I wonder? Well for now I’m pretty sure their hoping PTD does just as good as Butter on the charts, if not better. Or at the very least, Yoongi does. Haha kidding we know he speaks for the whole group. That said, I’ve always appreciated his honesty. Candidness is one thing I admire about Yoongi. There’s no “shying away” from ambitious goals when it comes to him.

I like that BTS have always explored a diverse range of musical styles. They’re not boxed in by genre (yes, even if the last 3 English tracks makes you think otherwise). If you take a look at BTS’ entire discography (mixtapes included) you’ll come to realize that there really is something for everyone.

I don’t think BTS will be releasing any more singles after PTD. Well maybe a collab is up next??? But currently, I think they’re gearing up for a major album release. This year’s Grammy Awards deadline is September 30, 2021. That means we’re for sure getting the album before then. My best guess is they’ll let PTD ride out through July, then release the album in early August. That or we just might get the album towards the end of July. Who knows. You honestly never really know when it comes to them. In an ideal Bangtan world they’d be topping the charts until GRAMMYs voting is finalized. Will the upcoming album be in English?? I want to say NO (lol), but if it is, I would(n’t) be surprised. I highly doubt it would be, but again, when it comes to BTS you never know.

After Thoughts

I predict they’ll once again be submitting all their releases this year to as many Grammy categories as possible. The more the better truthfully. That includes Butter, PTD, the upcoming album, and maybeeee even BE. If BTS don’t win a Grammy this year, they’ll be devastated. That’s simply the truth of the matter. Like I said, I hope they do so we can see the group explore more of their art on an individual basis. OT7 is great, but sometimes it also feels like a cult like with how they force it down our throats, and how some ARMYs don’t like the members doing anything outside of the group. BTS aren’t a monolith. They’re 7 individuals who all have different personalities, dreams, goals, and aspirations. For now of course, I’m sure a Grammy is the first priority (for all of them). Teamwork makes the dream work, right? Once that’s been checked off, however, we just might see a different side of them.

Alsoooooo, wow this post is already long, but I wanted to talk about artist contribution (the point I said I’d circle back to). I don’t think it really matters that none of the members contributed to PTD because it’s not as if they’ve just been sitting on their asses their entire career. They’ve all contributed more than enough in one shape or form since their debut. A single song lacking that special Bangtan touch is nothing compared to their 230+ other tracks. They also have a few Koreans songs that none of the members are credited for, so why the uproar when it’s done in English?

I’ve already said this, and I’ll say it again: BTS are winning. At life. No one knows what goes on behind the scenes, but objectively, everyday they’re gaining in popularity, getting richer, and receiving more love/acknowledgement (hate too, but that comes with the job). They’re a force to be reckoned with, whether you like them or not. And yes, all these things are surface level/materialistic, but it’s important to keep in mind none of the members are being held against their will. They all willingly re-signed a 7-year contract, and appear to be in this Bangtan Sh*t For Life. I’m sure they view this point in their career as a new experience, and are taking full advantage of the many opportunities coming their way.

To close off, keep in mind these are just my thoughts. You’re more than welcome to have differentiating opinions on any of the topics I touched on, and I won’t hold it against you.

Not proofread, so if you see any typos, ignore it.

BTS’ thoughts on Butter’s Success (abridged)

“It’s pointless to argue or fight about it. Frankly, I can’t understand people who want to put down a certain type of music, whatever that might be. Classical music was pop music in its own age. It’s a matter of taste and understanding—there’s no good or bad, there’s no highbrow or lowbrow.” — SUGA, 2018.

Why now'BTS' and'Grammy'

The significance of BTS' potential for Grammy award

2020.11.16

One of the concerns surrounding the 63rd Grammy Awards, which will be held in February next year, is whether BTS' Grammy Nominations and awards. When BTS was not nominated for the 62nd Grammy Awards in November 2019,' Forbes ' summarized the achievements BTS showed during 2019, saying, "Historically, artists of color in the Grammy have been repeatedly alienated." Pointed out. ' Rolling Stone ' also criticized, "Not acknowledging K-pop at the awards ceremony is in stark contrast to the everyday reality of the music industry." Nevertheless, at the 62nd Grammy Awards, BTS performed a short performance with Lil Nas X and received favorable reviews. At the 61st Grammy Awards held in February 2019, they emerged as the winners of the Best R&B album category, and the suits they wore at that time were displayed at the LA Grammy Museum in November of the same year. However, even at that time, BTS was nominated for the'Best Recording Package', a field that the album package's art director won. It is not known whether Grammy's choice had any specific intentions, as claimed by Forbes and Rolling Stone. However, it is true that the spotlights that Grammy shed on BTS and the nomination results do not seem appropriate.

Bulletproof Boy Scouts''Dynamite' recorded first place for two consecutive weeks on the Billboard Chart'Hot 100' on September 1st and 9th (EST). As an Asian artist, it is the third place since'Sukiyaki' in 1963 and'Like a G6' in 2010. According to Nielsen Music's financial report for the first half of 2020, BTS''MAP OF THE SOUL: 7'was the only album in the United States that sold more than 500,000 real albums during the first half of this year. In addition, among pop artists, BTS recorded 1417,000 points based on total consumption by converting the number of digital music downloads and streaming counts to album sales, ranking second after Billy Eileish among pop artists. This is also a record that surpassed the Beatles, another artist who earned more than 1 million points in total as the group's only. It's not just commercial achievements. BTS' fandom ARMY uploads a fancam to the Dallas Police Agency's app'iWatch Dallas', which receives reports of illegal protests on social media, and confronts the movement to control the Black Lives Matter (BLM) protests, or Donate $1 million on the matterThe fandom is showing a new trend toward social participation. Bulletproof Boy Scouts not only achieved great success in the American music industry, which was commercially centered in the Western world, but became a symbol of the times leading a number of armies (ARMYs) made up of various identities around the world. If BTS were nominated for or won a Grammy, they would add one more line to this history that no one expected. But not being suspicious does not mean that this history will disappear. If you can find any meaning in BTS's Grammy Nomination or Award, it is because this is a problem in this era.

Before BLM became an important topic in 2020, Grammy was a competition for identity. At the 56th Annual Grammy Awards in 2014, when Macklemore and Ryan Lewis overtook Kendrick Lama to win the Best Newcomer Award and three rap awards, Maclemore told Kendrick Lama, "I wanted you to win." He uploaded an apology message sent to him on his Instagram. In addition, at the 59th Grammy Awards held in 2017, Adele won a total of five crowns, including three awards excluding the New Artist Award among the Main Awards (Album of the Year, Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Rookie of the Year). On the other hand, Beyonce, who was highly praised for her album'Lemonade', only won the Best Urban Contemporary Album Award and Best Music Video Award, a genre award. Kendrick Rama did not win the main prize at the Grammy, even though'To Pimp A Butterfly' in 2015 and'DAMN.' in 2017 were highly evaluated with 96 and 95 Metacritic points, respectively. It is unknown whether Grammy, who has long been criticized for being'#GrammysSoWhite', intentionally excluded black artists. Just ' billboard'Is a collection of the history of the hip-hop genre, which has been steadily marginalized in the main awards of the Grammy Awards. It has been pointed out that legendary hip-hop artists have not tasted the glory of Grammy. In addition, a problem was raised that the awards of hip-hop artists were limited to some genres rather than the original award. In 2017, Drake expressed the opinion that his song'Hotline Bling', which won the Best Rap Song Performance category at the Grammy Awards, was not rap , and because he was a black artist and rapper, he limited his music to the field of rap rather than his own Complained about the award. This evokes criticism from some BTS fans that the establishment of the K-POP section of the U.S. Video Music Awards (VMA) in August could be a discrimination to exclude K-POP from the main stage. K-POP started to face the problem that hip-hop had been experiencing for a long time through BTS.

It's not that the Grammy hasn't changed. Childish Gambino's'This is America', which revealed the issue of racism and hatred in American society, won a total of 4 crowns, including the Song of the Year and Record of the Year, at the 61st Grammy Awards in 2019. In addition, at the 62nd Grammy Awards in 2020, a total of 5 crowns, including the four main awards of Billy Eilish, and a number of nominations and awards for Rizo and Lil Nas X, changed in that they paid attention to teenage women, black men, and social media stars. Seemed to be. However, these recent moves are the result of slow steps from a very long time ago. In September, Billboard pointed out that the Grammy has been criticized for being white male-centered in recent years, and predicted that it would be difficult for the 63rd Grammy Awards to be held in 2021 to ignore the race issue of 2020. In other words, it can be said that Grammy's trend toward awarding black artists has only changed after criticism such as'#GrammysSoWhite' or sharp issues such as BLM occurred. Just a few years ago, in 2017, Frank Ocean expressed dissatisfaction with the awards ceremony, explaining why he had not submitted the documents for registration for the 59th Grammy Awards . Jay-Z and Beyonce 2019 61st Grammy awards , for two consecutive years in the absence 62nd Graeme Award 2020did. The recent change in Grammy can be said to be the result of long voices of black artists, but the issue of racism is still ongoing. And it can be said that the history of Asian artists or K-POPs facing the Western music industry, and furthermore, the Grammy started from now through BTS. In other words, whether or not BTS will be awarded this year is the same as a litmus test paper that shows Grammy's present.

It is hard to say that Grammy intentionally excluded K-pop or Asian artists. There are not many cases in which Asian artists have achieved commercially meaningful results in the American music market centered around the Western world. Zhou of Chinese descent, Gil Chang of Taiwanese descent, Yuna of Malaysian descent, and Yeji of Korean descent, Park Hye Jin, and Ted Park were highly praised, but commercially It didn't show great results. In addition, even if K-POP is broadly defined not as'idol music' in a narrow sense, but as music by Korean artists or music in Korean, the success of Psy's'Gangnam Style' in 2012 soon led to the localization of Korean music. It wasn't. However, at this point, BTS''Dynamite' can be controversial. Although the artist is Korean, it is disco by genre, and the lyrics are English. It is also the 43rd No. 1 debut song in history on the Billboard Hot 100, and at the same time it reached No. 1 for two consecutive weeks and then rose to No. ' Forbes'Dynamite' was remixed to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 again. Pointing out that this is a normal strategy, he said, "All pop stars compete for the same award for the number one hit, and the brightest artist with the most fan base takes the gold medal home." In other words, BTS had too much fandom to dismiss as a prejudice against K-POP idols that they like'only a certain fandom', and released music classified as pop in terms of English lyrics and disco. No matter which artist in the market recorded, the result was surprising. By race, by genre, by national borders, how will the Grammy accept this result of BTS, which has crossed the walls defined by the Western industry?

The American Music Awards (AMAs), which have been voted on by the public since 2006, evaluate their popularity, while the Billboard Music Awards (BBMAs) measure their commercial success based on data called the Billboard Chart. On the other hand, Grammy selected 20 candidates after the first vote of a voting group consisting of singer-songwriters, producers, and composers in the music industry, and reviewed by a nominating committee consisting of at least 20 voting members approved by the board of directors. Eight candidates for the award are decided. The TF Final Report of the Recording Academy for Diversity and Inclusion, published in December 2019, was reviewed by the nominating committee and prevented popular votes on the process of deciding candidates to ensure reasonable results, and Includes explanations from previous executives that are intended to include works. In other words, Grammy's voting and nomination system, which can be said to be conservative, is rather a factor that can focus purely on musicality as an awards ceremony. However, the TF final report showed that Grammy increased the number of candidates for the main prize from 5 to 8, which increased the chances for a wider variety of nominations, but in a highly competitive field, candidates with only 13% support in the voting could also win. Point out that there is. Also billboardAccording to the report, the nominating committee decides the final candidate without knowing the ranking of the 20 main candidates that were handed over in the first round of voting. However, the members of the nominating committee are appointed after approval of the board in consultation with the top councilor of the recording academy board of directors, and as of December 2019, the members of the board are 65% male and 63% white. There is a lack of representation that can reflect the opinions of the voters as a whole, the standards of the nominating committee are subjective, and the diversity within the organization is a problem that Grammy will continue to solve.

It's not that the Grammy is not trying to secure internal diversity these days. According to the aforementioned Billboard article, the Recording Academy has focused on recruiting more women, minorities, and younger-age voters in the voting group composition in the last two years, with 200 people in 2018 and 590 people in 2019. It recruited new voters. These efforts will gradually help Grammy select music that is more diverse and reflects the times. And, BTS can be a measure of how far the current limit of Grammy for change is. How far can Grammy possess the keywords of K-POP, Asia, and the minority of boy bands? They received'overall rave reviews ' , the highest grade in Metacritic for'MAP OF THE SOUL: 7'released in February , and "a whole new kind of global pop phenomenon" (' Rolling Stone '), "What kind of American people do A success story that breaks the notion of listening to music" ('It was well received by critics such as the Wall Street Journal '). In addition,'Dynamite' is a disco genre of retro music and at the same time a music that conveys hope for daily life after Corona 19. In short, BTS' music fits all of the perfection, diversity, and message of the times. Of course, just because BTS is not nominated or won at the Grammy Awards this year, it does not mean that the decision was wrong. However, one can ask how far the Grammy can embrace the musical diversity and trend of the times in the United States and even around the world. Considering the case in which'Parasite' won the International Feature Film Awards for films produced in foreign languages ​​outside the United States at the 92nd Academy Awards in 2020, as well as the Best 4 awards in major categories, this question is even more clear. It becomes.

The word K-POP appears once in the Grammy TF final report mentioned earlier. Pointing to the reality that Asian-American artists are under pressure from K-POP and African-American executives only attend rap and hip-hop, “The music industry has a broader view of what constitutes diversity within the industry. It is necessary to point out. The lesson from a single comment is not the fact that there are few references to K-pop or Asians even in the report on the realization of diversity. The prejudice implied in the word K-POP is that it is becoming a boundary that locks not only artists who started from K-POP like BTS, but also some Asian artists working in the US market. In the end, the important thing is not whether the music BTS currently plays is K-POP, pop, or something else. It's not even a debate about whether they are idols or boy bands. All of this is put together as a question of how much one's identity affects the evaluation of music. What BTS has experienced in the United States is also a history of turning such prejudice into favorable comments from critics, commercial achievements on the Billboard charts, and awards at AMAs and BBMAs. Question again. When the names of K-POP and Asia were deleted, what kind of music will Grammy remember'MAP OF THE SOUL: 7'and'Dynamite'?

Kim Seokjin x Male Reader (Platonic)

Disclaimer:  *Some of my fanfic will be “??? x Female Reader” others will be “??? x Male Reader.” As I hope to continue to write different scenarios, I will switch up the member x reader pairings.

*None of the gifs are mine.

Scenario:  You defend/save them from problematic or sasaeng fans.

You were in your own world riding the elevator at the hotel you were staying at. You and your friends were in town for the BTS Love Yourself: Speak Yourself world tour and you had come back from dinner. Unfortunately, the key to your room wasn’t working, you’d kept it too close to your phone and you’d had to get a new one from the front desk. You were so tired and just wanted to go to bed.

“Hold elevator!” you heard a man yelling and you reached forward to hit the button, accidentally hitting the ‘CLOSE DOOR’ one. 

“Yah!” You realized your mistake, hit the right button and tall male body slammed into the back of the elevator and started screaming, “Close! Close! Close!” You pressed the button and the doors began closing. As they did, the sound of high pitched screams registered to your ears. When the doors closed, the screams became muted and you and the man were now in silence on the elevator. You see that he was on a red tracksuit, was bent at the waist and that his shoulders were shaking. 

Was he hurt? Had he injured himself when he hit the elevator wall? Was he crying?

“Are you okay?” He straightened and pressed a few random floor buttons and you saw purple hair and a mask covering the lower half of his face.

“Yes, thank you,” he answered. “You saved me.” That’s when you realize that he’s not crying, he’s laughing. In relief you found his laugh contagious and laugh too before realizing …. you knew that laugh. The man was Kim Seokjin.

“You’re Kim Seokjin.” 

“Oh,” his eyes went wide as he stopped laughing and looked at you. 

“So what happened?” 

“Vlive” He answered, still a little breathless.

“Ah, the hotel got leaked?”

“Yes, I was napping so I didn’t get message to pack until too late, by then they had moved other members but I got separated and then stuck.” 

“On the 9th floor there is a bridge connecting this hotel to the other one across the street? Maybe you can sneak across?” 

“Good idea.” he said. “Maybe I don't get spotted.”

“A red Gucci tracksuit is hard to miss.”

Jin then moved closer to you putting his shoulder up against yours.

“Can we change clothes?” Jin asked.

“Umm … I guess?”

By this time the elevator has reached the ninth floor and you both step off and he began taking off his clothes. You did the same and pretty soon you were standing in his red Gucci tracksuit and he was in your skinny jeans, graphic tee and denim jacket. You passed him your beanie to cover his hair. 

You pulled your phone out only to realize that it's not yours. You pass it to Jin and he reached into the pockets of your jacket and passed you your phone and wallet.

“That would have been a disaster.” you said and he chuckled and nodded

‘Thanks so much,” Jin said

“No problem,” you answered. “How will I get this back to you?”

Jin looked at the suit briefly and shrugs, “You can keep.”

“Oh … okay.” You weren’t going to argue; the suit was easily worth $4000.

Jin made his way down the corridor to the bridge that would take him to the neighboring hotel and you got back on the elevator and made it back to your room only to realize that the new key you had made in the lobby before your ride with Mr. Kim Seokjin was in the breast pocket of the denim jacket you’d given him. You sighed in defeat and walked back to the elevator.

The next evening you and your friends were getting ready for the concerts each in their own rooms and a knock sounded on your door. You opened it expecting one of your friends when instead it was a hotel employee. 

“This package was delivered to the front desk and was marked urgent and time sensitive so I was told to walk it up.”

“Thanks,” you said as the clerk walked away. You opened the envelope to see 6 front row tickets to tonight's concert, enough for you and your friends. You briefly wonder how Jin knew but dismiss it. He’d  probably gotten your name from the hotel since your room key was in your jacket pocket and it wouldn’t have been a big deal for the staff to check how many tickets had been purchased by you.

You looked at the outfit you’d set out for tonight but changed your mind reaching into your suitcase.

As you and your friends rocked out in your front row seats. Jin came over towards your section and scanned the crowd. He saw you in the red Gucci tracksuit and laughed saying into the mic, “You are right, my friend. That outfit is hard to miss.”

@ No. 4 BTS V, ‘Singularity’ by Los Angeles Times

Seoul’s hyperactive K-pop scene finally went mainstream in America this year thanks to BTS (V), the hugely popular seven-member boy band that topped the Billboard 200 twice on its way to a sold-out tour that stopped at Staples Center for four shriek-filled nights. Yet the group’s most arresting song from 2018 was also its least frenzied: “Singularity,” a breathy, methodically paced soul jam with echoes of D’Angelo and Luther Vandross.

3. Singularity was included with FAKE LOVE and LY: Tear in The Guardian’s “best albums and tracks of 2018”. It is the only Korean solo song in the list.[Source]

4. Singularity and Daydream are the only BTS solo songs which charted in the PopAsia's Top 100 Asian pop songs of 2018.[Source]

BTS: Singularity @ #24

From V's deep vocals to the minimal funk bass and piano propelling the rhythm, "Singularity" is breathtaking, teasing in its languid pace and melancholic undertones. It's essentially a work of art.

J-Hope: Daydream @ #23

This is what sunshine sounds like if it was produced by one of K-pop's biggest stars. While it bops along with tambourine and addictive percussion, the lyrics go deeper as J-Hope confronts the juxtaposition of daydreaming despite living a dream life.

With TWICE’s comeback, it’s no surprise that the week has been busy for the girls and as well ONCEs. Whether it is being busy for ONCEs with streaming, catching up with the showcase, keeping updated with all the preview and HD photos from fansites, or watching the girls perform their hearts out with ‘Likey’. 

Here’s a timeline of what happened during TWICE’s comeback week!

October 30, 2017 – The day of the girls’ comeback!!! However, even before the clock struck 6:00 PM KST, the girls were awarded with the “Ministry Award for 2017 Pop Culture of Tourism.”

Prior to the official showcase, the girls performed their newest songs for the press which began at 2:00 PM KST.

6PM KST, on the dot, JYP Entertainment’s Official Youtube Channel released the music video for the girls’ most awaited 1st full album title track ‘Likey’ together with its release on digital streaming platforms.

‘Likey’ surpassed ‘Knock Knock’’s record for Melon's 1st-hour unique listeners with 61,084 while ‘Knock Knock’ had 58,473.

By 8PM KST, the showcase began with a cute VCR playing all their title tracks and the girls began performing 'CHEER UP', followed by 'TT'! The girls then talked about the songs in their album using particular keywords pasted on the blocks of a human-sized game Jenga that they played. Besides that, they also answered questions and did dares! What a fun loving girls.

They subsequently performed 'KNOCK KNOCK', 'SIGNAL' and 'ONE IN A MILLION', leading on to the song '거북이', or 'Turtle', ending the showcase with their new title track, 'LIKEY'.

October 31, 2017 – ‘Likey’ M/V reached 10,000,000 views on YouTube in less than 24 hours! ‘Knock Knock’ had a record of 9.8 million views while ‘Signal’ reached more than 8.3 million views in 24 hours.

It was also revealed that the girls accumulated approximately 330,000 copies for the pre-orders of their very first full album, ‘TWICETAGRAM’! Also in HANTEO, ‘TWICETAGRAM’ surpassed 40,000 copies sold only on its first day.

Likey has been on the steady #2 spot on instiz chart at 4:30PM while 거북이 charted on the 18th spot!  

JTBC released a preview clip for TWICE’s 3rd episode guesting in Carefree Travelers earlier that day. The clip shows the girls enjoying their time in the beach and having fun riding the waves.

The episode itself showed the girls having fun playing in the water and beach volleyball with the cast, with a little teasing here and there. But then again, TWICE isn’t TWICE without teasing and a little playfulness~

November 1, 2017 – HAPPY JEONGYEON DAY!!! The girls dedicated their Instagram to Jeongyeon by posting numerous photos, specifically photos uploaded by Nayeon, Momo, Jihyo, and Chaeyoung! This is truly a very special day for the girls because as if it was a gift, TWICETAGRAM surpassed 70,000 copies sold in HANTEO and Likey has reached the number 1 spot on Instiz Chart!

On the same day, after the clock struck 12am KST, Momo did a V Live  where she had fun teaching ONCEs how to dance to the choreography for ‘Likey’.

As usual, the girls were busy as they performed ‘Cheer Up’ and ‘Likey’ at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics G-100 Concert. The concert started at 6PM but only performed for their stage towards the end.

Along with the concert, the Weekly Idol episode featuring TWICE aired on the same day. The girls showed a preview of the choreography for ‘Likey’ and proceeded to perform twice (no pun intended) its speed.

After so, Coni and Doni then continued the show with TWICE’s very first ‘Idol Call Centre’ corner where the girls showcased their various styles of dancing, aegyo, and “Wild Edge” charm which was suggested by ONCEs themselves.

November 1st seems to be a very full-packed and happy day for ONCEs because the teaser for TWICE TV6 in Singapore was also released through Vapp and YouTube and it will first air on the 8th of November! We all can’t wait for it!

November 2, 2017 – Starting the day, ONCEs were greeted with LIKEY's M/V reaching 20 million views! Speaking of which, TWICE's debut M/V 'Like Ooh-Ahh' joined 'Cheer Up' and 'TT' in each having 200 million views! With that, TWICE joins BTS as the only Korean Pop groups to achieve such feat!

With Jihyo, Mina and Chaeyoung as the special MCs of the day, TWICE were set to pre-record their performance for LIKEY on M! Countdown, where they held a mini fanmeeting during the show.

TWICE were also featured on the front page of a local newspaper of Richmond in BC, Canada and was also announced as the second line-up artist for MAMA in Japan.

Adding to that, the preview for ‘Let’s Eat Dinner Together’ episode guesting Jeongyeon and Dahyun was released and is set to be aired on the 9th of November.

Lastly, the release of the Bluray/DVD for TWICE's Debut Showcase in Japan was announced!

November 3, 2017 – The girls were set to pre-record their stage for KBS' Music Bank and despite the foul weather, they still greeted the fans waiting by the entrance of KBS!

On another note, they held their first fansign in Sangam, where lucky fans who won the free fansign golden ticket could use them. Lastly, it was revealed by fans that by the 4th day of its release, TWICETAGRAM became the 6th bestselling album of all time by a Korean Pop Group in HANTEO, and the 3rd bestselling Girl Group album on HANTEO!

In only the 5th day of sales, TWICETAGRAM has also became the 25th Korean Pop group album with the highest sales in HANTEO, and TWICE is the only girl group in the list. Following up close behind at 26th and 27th place are SIGNAL and TWICEcoaster: Lane 2, respectively.

November 5, 2017 – Another milestone has been broken, as TWICE’s Knock Knock M/V surpassed 150 million views on YouTube and has taken over the 4th place as the fastest Kpop group M/V to do so in approximately 257 days! The girls also went to pre-record their performance for Inkigayo at 3:00AM whereas the actual show starts at 12:10PM.

'TWICETAGRAM’ also charted on the 29th spot for the Worldwide iTunes Album Chart.

That’s for this week, ONCEs! Please continue supporting TWICE in all ways you can. Let’s not forget to vote for them in music shows and stream ‘Likey’ by watching their Music Video on YouTube, listening to it on official Korean streaming sites to get TWICE their well deserved wins for ‘Likey’.

🦋☀ Hello, I’m Carmen and I am new to the studyblr community! I have discovered studyblr’s from searching school and motivation tips towards the end of the school year of 9th grade. This typical reason was that I was depressed about my grades and motivation.

🦋☀ I’m 16 and soon to be a sophomore when school starts again (Sep. 5th). I live in a temperate state, which honestly is not that bad except winter!

🦋☀ The only classes I am 100% sure I am going to have this year is ART I and Music I.

🦋☀ My interests: writing, books, music, kpop, anime, harry potter, photography & more

🦋☀ I have started my own blog about my studies because I feel as if it would really motivate me because I am a girl that can get unmotivated easily. I also decided that if I posted my own content then I would feel more motivated and inspired to study more.

🦋☀ In regards to my URL, Sehun has to be one of my most favorite male kpop bias! He is so cute, funny and handsome; he can also make me smile. Just like the rest of EXO members.💖 Don’t get me wrong though, I do love other kpop groups such as BTS, GOT7, BIGBANG, SHINee, VIXX & plenty more. 😊
