bts are back and the flowers in my chest bloom again: a love letter to the architects of my healing 🪷💌

The past week has been very much intense emotionally, there's so much thing I wanna say, my phone notes are full, but I'm afraid anything I'd say would ever give substance to the true depth of my love for bts but I'll try to do it anyway.

The last three years were so weird and unexpected, I still have war flashbacks of 2022 festa, it all seems so far away but so close at the same time. Time went by so fast but so painfully slow at the same time. I keep thinking about Jungkook saying, before enlisting "you guys go and live your lives and i will be back as if i had never left." And I did, I've really started to live my life.

I've always had this dream of being a full time artist, a singer/songwriter, being able to fully express myself through my art, but god, how was I petrified by fear to put myself out there, baring my soul, for the whole world to see, it felt terrifying, especially when you come from a place of trauma. But I could feel that the more I was restraining myself to create, holding myself back, the more depressed and angry for no reason I'd get. Then BTS showed up on my life path, and it felt like, those moments, where you were lost all along, and suddenly, you've just found your way back home. I found my way back home, my way back to myself through them.

And just like that, I was born again. And just like that, I've stopped existing and started living, really living, just like Jungkook suggested. I put myself out there, I've sung, I've written, darken pages after pages, I met new people, I lost some, I shed a lot of tears, but, god, how I feel so alive now, healing out loud, "because I almost died in silence", and BTS are a huge part of that.

They've reopened doors for me, fanned on the flames of my identity, they've allowed myself to be me, where the world tried to fade me away. I have always struggled to accept certains facets of my personality, some I was ashamed of, or angry at, and I will always remember what my therapist told me :

"use BTS as an example, they're 7 different people, with 7 different personalities, but all together, they form a whole, something harmonious and powerful, just like you" and, fuck, the way, I've cried, this has been stuck with me ever since.

I've been looking for somewhere where I could fit in, be welcomed, feel loved and celebrated and they gave it to me and I will forever be grateful, for all the joy, the laugh, the tears, the happiness, the people I've met, the resilience they've provide me. I honestly have so much love for them in my heart it doesn't fit.

Each of them speak to a part of my soul: pain transcended through music, quiet strength, resilience, healing, life, all these things I've learnt from them, through them. They will always have a place in my heart, a place I'll cherish forever and I'll never take it for granted. And if you've ever felt this for an artist, never feel ridiculous or ashamed of that, because music, art, can really save people. What you feel is real, it is real in your head, in your heart, in your inner world, and this world is legit, one that stand tall and strong, when everything else is falling apart, one that anchors you in the middle of a storm.

And now we're three years later, 250613 is finally here, and I have never felt more like myself for the first time, in a long, long time and I will never forget the happiness I felt this day.

to Namjoon, Seokjin, Yoongi, Hoseok, Jimin, Taehyung and Jungkook: thank you for making me fall in love with life again. Thank you for always being a shoulder, I can lean on when I need to rest. I hope a little bit of your heart is healed, the same way you healed something you didn't break and made the scars fade away. Everyone who knows me, will always know you. Future will always be okay with you, now let's go to the future all together, hand in hand.

I love you, and always will, apobangpo 💜

RM's Post ❇️

오랜만입니다. 얼마 전 11주년이었는데 정신없다는 핑계로 짧은 글 하나도 못 남겼네요. 허허허 한 달 전에 컴백투미, 3주 전에 RPWP가 나왔죠. 작년 4월에 호석이와 함께 입대하려던 계획을 미루고 미루다 동생들과 손잡고 나란히 들어가게 되었죠. 23년은 그렇게 술과 작업으로만 보냈던 것 같아요. 친구의 병장 약장이 부럽지만.. 그래도 후회는 없답니다. (ㅎㅎ;) 제가 이런��런 소회를 직접 들려드리지 못한 첫 작업물이네요. 하고싶은 말들이 많지만 앨범에 모두 적혀있으므로.. 그저 오롯이 저 스스로 솔직하고자 발버둥친 앨범입니다. 오래오래 두고두고 읽어주시면 좋겠어요. 부디 3일 전에 진 형이 드디어 전역을 했죠. 저 재밌자고 색소폰도 가져와서 불었지만 실은 만감이 교차했습니다. 먼저 가서 많이 외롭고 힘들지 않았을까.. 어땠을까. 1년 6개월은 여기 누구에게나 공평하니까요. 저희는 지금 형의 과거를 살고 있는 중이겠지요. 오랜만에 나와보니 역시 바깥의 시간은 다르게 흐르는군요. 중력도 다르게 느껴지고.. 다들 내 부재와는 상관없이 잘 살아가고 있구나. 잘 흘러가고 있구나. 다소 헛헛한 기분도 들지만, 무엇보다 정말 오랜만에 멤버들이 모두 모여 한 잔 하며 허심탄회한 얘기들을 나눌 수 있어 좋았답니다(군대 얘기가 절반 이상이었지만..ㅋㅋ). 무려 근 열 달 만인 것 같아요. 왜이리 이 사람들이 보고싶었는지.. 저도 종종 전화해서 다짜고짜 안부나 묻곤 했었어요. 진 형이 늘 얘기하곤 했었어요. 멤버들 엄청 보고싶다고. 너희도 그럴 거라고. 뿔뿔이 흩어져 강원도 어딘가에 살아보니 사무치게 이해가 돼버려요. 막상 얼굴 보고 얘기하니 그래도 변하지 않는 것들, 내가 돌아와야 할 곳, 내가 어떤 사람이었는지도 다시 깨닫게 되고.. 우리 모두에게 의미있는 소중한 시간이었어요. 또 어디쯤 헤매고 있을까요? 내년 12주년에는 다들 어떤 얼굴을 하고 있을까요 그리워서 그리고 그려서 그리워요. 벌써 열 한 해입니다. 또 한 해를 손꼽는 일일 뿐이겠지요. 먼저 여러분의 품에 안긴, 안길 진 형과 홉이에게 뒷일을 부탁합니다. 아직 많은 분들이 저희를 잊지 않고 기다려주고 사랑해주신다는 것만 깨닫고 가요. 쏟아지는 사랑. 늘 그랬듯 그저 멤버들 여러분 생각하며 또 하루하루 잘 지내볼게요 사랑합니다. 고맙습니다 다음 초여름을 기약하며 남준

Hello, It’s been a while.

It was our 11th anniversary a while ago but, using the excuse that things have been really hectic, I wasn’t able to write even a small post. Hahaha

Come Back To Me came out a month ago, and 3 weeks ago, so did RPWP. Last year, after pushing and postponing my plans of enlisting with Hoseokie in April, I held hands with the younger members and we headed in together. And so 2023 went by, spent entirely with alcohol and work. I am jealous of my buddy’s sergeant patch but well.. I have no regrets. (hehe;)

I think this is the first time I’ve released something and not been able to talk about things directly with you. I have a lot to say but it’s all been written into the album so.. the album is purely the product of my fight with myself to become more honest. I hope that you keep reading it, over and over, for a long long time. It is a sincere, heartfelt wish.

Three days ago, Jin hyung was finally discharged. I brought along my saxophone and played it to be funny but honestly, I had a lot of complicated emotions running through me. Being the first to go was probably really lonely and difficult.. What was it like? That one year and six months treats everyone here equally. Now, we are probably living hyung’s past.

Out in the world for the first time in a while, I realised that time outside really does flow differently. Gravity feels different too.. everyone’s been living their lives regardless of my absence, doing well, flowing along nicely. I felt a little empty but, more than anything else, it felt great to get together with the members after a really long time and have a heart-to-heart over drinks (though more than half the conversation consisted of military stories.. haha). It had been nearly 10 whole months since we did something like this. Why did I miss these guys so much.. I did call them sometimes, randomly, asking them how they were doing.

Jin hyung did always tell us that he missed the other members a lot, that we were going to feel the same. Now scattered apart, living somewhere in Gangwondo, I understand it, it resonates so deeply. Actually talking face-to-face, I was reminded of the things that remain unchanging, the place that I have to return to, the person that I was.. it was a meaningful, precious time for all of us.

Where else will we be wandering? What expressions will we wear on our faces next year, on our twelfth anniversary? Missing you makes me picture you, and by picturing you I miss you more. We’re already in our eleventh year. All we have to do is just count one more. I entrust the future to Jin hyung and Hobi, who have been and will be the first to be embraced in your arms.

I’m taking back with me the realisation that there are still lots of people who haven’t forgotten about us, who are waiting for us. An outpouring of love. As always, I’ll try doing fine, day by day, thinking of you guys and the members

I love you. Thank you Until early summer next year, Namjoon

Golden (Jungkook Social Media AU): Chapter Three - The Sapporo Scandal

Golden Masterlist | Chapter Two - Friend or Foe? | Say hi/send a request

Chapter Summary: A snowy birthday escapade spirals into a digital spectacle. Y/N and Jungkook learn the hard way that even the quietest footprints leave a trail… and someone, somewhere, is always watching.

Genre: Romance, Social Media AU

Rating: Mature Content (18+) Minors do not engage!

Pairing: Idol!Jungkook x Idol!Reader

Disclaimer: This story is a work of fiction. I do not claim ownership of the people, photos, and events mentioned.

Author's Note: Happy Festa!!! The past few days have been surreal and I've just been so so happy. I was watching the Magic Shop in Busan replay last night while finishing this chapter up, and I HAVE JUST BEEN ON CLOUD NINE. Eight more days until Yoongi is back and we can finally say we are so so back 😭 Sooo, here's Chapter Three before I lose my mind even more (KILLIN' IT GIRL IN A FEW!!!).

Also,,, pls,,, for the fake Kakao gc of sasaengs, I just used the anonymous animals' names that Google Docs displays whenever a random visits your file sidhgashddsjw they don't even deserve to be named. I just also want to say that I obviously do not tolerate this kind of obsessive behavior and harassment towards idols. If you read the news (news read = tweets) yesterday about a woman attempting to break into Jungkook's house literally the night of his discharge, then you would know just how true to life these things are, and it's not okay at all. I really pray that the Tannies will always be safe from anyone with bad intentions 😭

I may or may not have lied about the double update in celebration of Festa and the four members' discharge btw 🧍‍♀️ Work has just been so stressful, literally, the only thing the has kept me from pulling all of my hair off are the constant updates we're getting fed with... but I'll T R Y to whip up a drabble this weekend (although I'll be busy bc I'll be attending some fan meets, so so excited to see ARMY 🤩).

If you want to be added to the taglist or have any feedback or suggestions, leave a comment or an ask any time. Like, comment, reblog <333

Enjoy!

The Quick and The Hungry

"Vampires occur everywhere, but in busy cities no one notices."- Matthew Schofield

The sun was long gone by the time you unlocked the front door, sighing as you stepped into the quiet house. The grand chandelier above swayed slightly with the breeze that followed you inside, casting fractured light across the polished marble floors. Normally, they’d be waiting — at least one of them would greet you with a quiet smile or a teasing remark. But tonight… silence.

Your brows furrowed. The mansion they called home was always a little cold — a permanent chill that seemed to live within its walls. But this felt different. Heavier. Stagnant.

You toed off your shoes, the clicking of your heels replaced by the soft padding of your socks as you moved further inside. "Jungkook? Namjoon? Jin?" you called softly, your voice echoing faintly. No answer.

It wasn’t like them to ignore you. Worry twisting your gut, you climbed the grand staircase, your hand brushing along the intricately carved railing. The hallway upstairs was dimly lit by the flicker of wall sconces, but you knew the way by heart. You stopped in front of the heavy double doors of the shared bedroom, heart beating just a little too fast.

Slowly, you pushed open the door. And there they were. All seven of them sprawled across the massive bed.

Jungkook, his dark hair falling into his pale face, lay across the foot of the bed, his chest rising and falling far too slowly. Jimin was curled up near the headboard, arms wrapped around a pillow as though trying to anchor himself. Jin, elegant even in exhaustion, had his head tilted back against the headboard, his skin nearly translucent under the dim light. Hoseok and Yoongi were side by side, unnaturally still, while Taehyung and Namjoon were draped over each other like discarded dolls.

You gasped, stepping closer. They looked… weak. “Guys?” you whispered, voice trembling. “What’s wrong?”

Namjoon stirred first, his usually sharp eyes opening halfway, revealing crimson irises dulled by fatigue. His voice was barely audible. “You're home...”

You climbed onto the bed, kneeling between them, cupping his cold face with both hands. “What happened to you?”

“We’re fine,” Jin murmured weakly. “Just... tired.”

“Tired?” you repeated, your voice cracking. “You’re never like this.”

Yoongi tried to smirk but failed, his eyes fluttering shut again. “Don’t worry about it.”

“Don’t worry about it?!” you snapped, panic rising. “Look at you all! You’re barely able to move.”

Jungkook, who could barely lift his head, finally whispered, “We’ll be fine… just need some time.”

“No," you said firmly. "No more lies. You don’t get like this from just ‘being tired.’” Your eyes darted across their fragile forms, realization dawning in the pit of your stomach. The paleness. The weakness. The sluggishness. "You need blood," you said softly, voice breaking.

They didn’t answer.

The silence was enough.

"You haven’t fed properly in weeks, have you?" your voice trembled, tears burning in your eyes.

Jimin’s lip quivered. “We didn’t want to worry you…”

You looked at them — at these powerful, ancient beings reduced to such a fragile state — and your heart shattered. You knew they hated feeding from humans. Hated what they used to be. And because they refused to take blood from anyone else… they were starving.

“You should’ve told me,” you whispered. “I could’ve—”

“No.” Taehyung’s voice was sharp despite his exhaustion. “We didn’t want you involved.”

“You're human," Jin added quietly. "Your blood is too precious to us. One slip… one mistake…”

You shook your head, the first tear slipping free. “Do you think I care about that? Do you think I’d ever let you suffer like this?”

Namjoon weakly reached for your hand, gripping it like it was his lifeline. “We love you too much to risk it.”

You inhaled deeply, wiping your tears away. Your fingers gently brushed the side of Jungkook’s face as you steadied yourself. You grabbed the nearby letter opener ready to cut your wrist but Namjoon used his last of his strength to stop you. Still determined you tugged your hair gently to the side, baring your neck to them. Your pulse thrummed wildly beneath your skin.

For a moment, no one moved. And then, Namjoon slowly sat up, leaning forward with agonizing control. His breath was shaky as he lowered his lips to your neck, his fangs grazing your skin but not yet piercing.

“You’re sure?” he rasped.

“I’m sure.” You felt the sharp prick of his fangs as they sank into your skin. It hurt for a brief moment, but it was quickly replaced by a strange warmth that spread through your body. He was careful — so careful — drawing only what he needed, pulling back far sooner than you expected.

Namjoon licked the wound gently, helping it close before he leaned back, eyes brighter already. He looked healthier within seconds, his pallor fading slightly.

The others watched him with wide, desperate eyes.

“It’s okay,” you whispered. “Come here.”

Jin moved next, lips brushing your skin reverently before his fangs pierced you. He drank for only a moment, then quickly withdrew, tears pooling in his eyes. “I’m sorry,” he whispered, voice thick with emotion.

“Don’t apologize,” you murmured, stroking his hair. “You needed this.”

One by one, the others followed — Yoongi, Jimin, Hoseok, Taehyung, and finally Jungkook, who was visibly trembling as he approached you last. His hands shook as he cupped your face.

“I—I can’t… I don’t want to hurt you—”

“You won’t.”

With a strangled whimper, he leaned in and bit down. His breath hitched as he tasted you, his entire body relaxing as life returned to his pale features. His wings briefly unfurled behind him, the black membranes twitching as power flowed back into his body.

When he pulled back, he immediately checked your pulse, eyes darting across your face. “You’re okay?” he breathed.

“I’m okay.” You smiled weakly. “See? Nothing bad happened.”

They gathered around you after, wrapping you in their arms like a cocoon. The warmth of their bodies, now restored with strength, surrounded you like a protective wall.

“You’re too good to us,” Yoongi mumbled into your shoulder.

“No,” you corrected softly, “I love you. That’s different.”

Taehyung nuzzled into your hair. “We don’t deserve you.”

“Yes you do. And next time—” your tone shifted, scolding now, “—you’re going to tell me before you starve yourselves, or so help me—”

They chuckled weakly, the sound soft but genuine. Jin wiped a tear from his eye while Hoseok squeezed your hand gently.

“We promise,” Namjoon said softly. “No more secrets.”

“Good,” you said, narrowing your eyes at them for extra emphasis. “I don’t ever want to see you like this again.”

The feeding was over. The sharp sting of their fangs had faded to a dull ache that pulsed gently beneath your skin. Your blood still sang in their veins — you could see it, feel it in the way they hovered close now, vibrant and fully awake, their eyes still slightly dilated, their breathing steady but heavier. The air was thick with tension — not the weak, fragile kind from earlier — but something heady, possessive, and hungry in a much different way.

They sat around you on the bed like a pack circling its prize. Their eyes gleamed under the low amber lights. Though they had sated their thirst for blood, the ancient hunger of what they were still simmered just beneath the surface.

Vampires. Predators. Your vampires. And they had tasted you.

Namjoon was the first to touch you, brushing his knuckles along your cheek, his voice low and dangerous. “You shouldn’t have done that, sweetheart.”

You smiled lazily, leaning into his touch. “If I hadn’t, you’d all be dead. You’re welcome.”

“Reckless,” Yoongi rasped, his eyes locked on the small puncture wounds on your neck. “You’re too soft for your own good.”

“I like soft,” Jimin purred, his lips ghosting near your ear. “Especially when it’s our softness to ruin.”

Taehyung’s tongue peeked out to wet his lips. His voice came out deeper than usual, almost guttural. “You smell different now, angel. Your blood... inside us. It changes everything.”

“You’re all acting like you’re about to devour me again.” You tried to sound lighthearted, but your pulse betrayed you, quickening under the heat of their gazes.

Jungkook chuckled darkly. “That’s because we are.”

They didn’t need more blood. But tasting you had awoken something primal — something they’d kept buried for too long. Now that they’d had your blood on their tongues, it was as if every sense was heightened. The smell of you, the flush of your skin, your rapid heartbeat… all of it taunted them.

“You have no idea what you’ve done to us,” Jin murmured, eyes half-lidded as his fingers traced the curve of your throat.

“I think I do,” you teased, breath catching slightly.

Suddenly Hoseok was behind you, his cool breath skating across your exposed skin. His arms wrapped around your waist, holding you against his chest. “You trust us too much, little human.”

Your eyelids fluttered as your head leaned back against him. “You say that like it’s a bad thing.”

“It’s dangerous,” Namjoon growled, his patience thinning. “You’re tempting fate.”

You smiled playfully, even as your body buzzed with anticipation at the darkness in his voice. “I think you’re all just sore losers.”

The room went still. Their eyes sharpened at your boldness.

“Losers?” Taehyung repeated, a smirk pulling at his lips. His fangs peeked out once more. “Careful, little one.”

Jungkook’s hand closed gently but firmly around your ankle where it peeked from beneath the blanket, his thumb stroking your skin. “You’re very brave after giving us a taste.”

Yoongi shifted closer, his voice like silk and smoke. “You’ve always been our weakness. But now? Now you’re something else entirely.”

“Mine,” Jin whispered.

“Ours,” Jimin corrected, his lips finally pressing against the shell of your ear. His voice dropped into a breathless, reverent whisper, “All ours.”

The atmosphere thickened until it was nearly unbearable. You could feel yourself growing wet beneath their lingering touches, their words igniting a flame low in your belly. Every fiber of your being was screaming for them to touch you — to take what they clearly wanted — but you didn’t submit just yet.

Instead, you let out a tired little sigh, playing innocent. “Well, if you losers are done drooling over me…” You gave a dramatic yawn, nestling into Hoseok’s arms. “I think I’ll fall asleep now.”

The low growl that rumbled from Namjoon’s chest made your thighs instinctively clench.

“You’re playing a dangerous game.”

“And I always win,” you whispered with a teasing grin, daring him.

Before you could blink, Namjoon’s hand gripped your chin gently but firmly, tilting your head back so you were forced to meet his intense gaze. The warmth of his breath ghosted across your lips. “No one wins against monsters, sweetheart.”

You swallowed, your breath hitching as the room seemed to shrink around you. All of them inched closer now, the heat of their bodies surrounding you, their hands starting to wander — brushing your thighs, your waist, your throat.

Your heartbeat thudded wildly in your chest, and you knew every one of them could hear it.

“But we won’t break you tonight,” Yoongi whispered, his voice laced with restraint and something dangerously fond. “You’ve given enough.”

Jin pressed a soft kiss to your temple, his fingers threading gently through your hair. “Sleep, beautiful girl.”

“You’ve earned it,” Hoseok whispered against the back of your neck, sending chills racing down your spine.

Jimin slid down beside you, his hand resting lightly on your stomach as if to calm you. “Tomorrow,” he promised darkly, voice low and filled with heated promise. “Tomorrow, you don’t get to tease us like this.”

Jungkook's fingers traced lazy patterns on your calf, his gaze soft but filled with something hungrier beneath. “And next time, don’t call us losers.”

“Next time,” Taehyung added with a wicked grin, “we’ll remind you exactly who’s in control.”

Their words stirred another wave of arousal in you, but your body, drained from the blood loss and overwhelmed by the possessive affection surrounding you, was already slipping into a warm, safe exhaustion.

As your eyelids grew heavy, you allowed yourself to sink into their arms, cocooned by the dangerous men who worshipped you — who would kill for you. The darkness hummed like a lullaby as seven pairs of watchful crimson eyes guarded you through the night.

Right before you drifted off completely, you whispered one last thing, your voice playful but drowsy:

“Still losers.”

Their quiet growls followed you into sleep — and you smiled, knowing exactly what tomorrow would bring.

Happy 12th Festa, BTS!💜

[seoul-bros]

Jikook Week 76 Complete (20/05-27/05/2025)

Jikook have finalized their 76th week in the military and have apparently both been in Japan, presumably using up their remaining leave before their official discharge in just over two weeks. The timeline is filled with speculation of what Festa 2025 will look like and if we will see new music from the guys (we still don't know what they recorded with J Balvin and we haven't yet solved the "keep going" mystery.)

This week in 2017 BTS were in Las Vegas to attend the BBMAs. Watching the Bangtan Bomb from the visit their excitement at being at such a huge industry event is palpable.

On the plane to Las Vegas, Jimin, Jin and V talked about how nervous and happy they were to be attending the BBMAs and thanked ARMY for making it possible.

The cameras were on them right from when they touched the ground on 20/05 and didn't let up until they left the US. Everybody wanted a piece of BTS during their visit.

JK wore a "You Never Walk Alone" cap. In 2022, this BTS lyric later appeared on the hoodie that Jimin designed for their artist made merch.

First stop was to record their Billboard welcome message. Here they are getting ready to film.

Four of the members went to the theatre that night but Jikook and Joon apparently "fell into a deep sleep because of jet lag".

The next day was the show itself.

The nervous excitement was reaching a fever pitch and Jimin decided to film everybody as they prepared to hit the red carpet.

Jim Cam also recorded JK and couldn't resist giving him the complement he so rightly deserved.

The fans were out in force as they took their turn in front of the camera. It was a whirlwind of short soundbite interviews with Jikook exuding a hint of the power couple energy that has only got stronger with the passing of the years.

After a brief rest and a Live from the lounge,

the show began and ARMY was out in force making their presence felt with the fan chant.

And then the moment of truth, BTS beat out Justin Beiber, Ariana Grande, Shawn Mendes and Selena Gomez as Top Social Artist.

Look at how happy they were. BTS really were paving the way!

After all that did they get time for a break and bask in the glory of their first BB win? Absolutely not by the 25th May they were already arriving in Sydney for the continuation of the Wings Tour. 2017 was non-stop for the members and this must be one of the reasons, Jikook's escape to Tokyo at the end of October has always been so precious to them both. If they have been together in Japan over the last few days, I hope they made new unforgettable memories as they prepare for the new chapter that begins in June.

My 2 cents on the group comeback & the whole issue of who wants to support & who doesn't

As I already said on X/twitter:

As an OG fan from 2013, I feel that I gave BTS, as a group, enough of my years to watch them go from this down-on-their-luck-fighting-for-our-dream rookie group of seven boys, to maturing and earning respect as Artists, to winning their first Daesangs, breaking out of the Kpop mold, going FULL GLOBAL, winning American awards....

Only to see them rapidly decline in passion, effort, music quality, and even morals a year before the pandemic even happened with a half-assed tour where it was more than obvious to everyone watching that the company was just milking them beyond their physical, mental, and emotional limit to perform songs they've sang and rehearsed a thousand times, but somehow we were expected to see it as "proof of their love for us".

Because ya'll cannot seriously sit there and tell me you felt proud as a fan; as an ARMY, watching the members performing day in and day out while sleep deprived (during the promotions for "IDOL", some members expressed that they hadn't been allowed to sleep for more than 48hours because they had to keep practicing and preparing to record/perform in one of the music shows), getting injured (Jimin suffered from back pains/muscle spams DAILY, Jungkook fucking split his heel open an hour or more before one of the concerts while working out backstage and had to get stitches with little to no anesthesia, RM busted a knee too), or even sick (MANY of the members throughout the tour were made to perform or show up on stage with high fevers, throat infections and colds that made it painful to sing or breathe in unfavorable weathers that could've landed them in the hospital).

RM in many of his lives mentioned in the past the times they had wanted to take a break and enlist in the military and get it over with (#01. after jungkook's highschool graduation, #02. in 2018 if they had disbanded, and #03. in 2020 when the pandemic prevented them from performing live). But that it was THE COMPANY who kept preventing them from doing so and gaslighted them into believing that if they enlisted then Army would forget about them and move on to stan another group)

MOTS7, definitely deserved more than what it got... WAY MORE...

And then we had the famous "English songs only" era, that even the members themselves were not entirely happy with, meanwhile their self-produced album (BE) barely held on in the charts & paled compared to the "success" of Dynamite (and song they didn't even write or produced).

Everything else went downhill after that.

Then solo era abruptly began, right after a messy FESTA dinner full of hard pills to swallow that many are still choking on and refusing to believe came straight out of the members own mouths. And afterwards it was flop after flop. How is it possible that the more "experienced" members didn't meet up to all the boasting, hype and promising they did only to push out recycled concepts, collabs with artists that only some knew, and others didn't think twice before hitting the SKIP button. Or those 2 particular members who showed off and talked smack since 2017 about putting out 2 huge mixtapes that were supposed to rival even the Rap Line, only to give us 50Shades of Winter Bear (boring jazz edition) and Golden-Closet-Reject-Songs from every known mediocre artist on the billboard charts.

And then JIMIN happened.

Jimin with his complex ideas, brilliant mind and deep symbolism that had the whole fandom running and scrambling to make theories on every social media like it was HYYH & WINGS era happening for the very first time. We were literally back in 2015-2016 again and it was GLORIOUS.

FACE was, IS and forever will be ICONIC. Not just because it gave Jimin his first no.1 in Hot100 as a SOLOIST and made him the first Korean & 2nd Asian to receive this honor SOLO. But because of how it united the fandom and had everyone turning in and out of the fandom----out of the Kpop radar to listen and check out who this Jimin guy is and why he's trending 24/7.

Hell, even his antis were turned in to everything related to FACE and Jimin. Many were caught with "Like Crazy" AND "Set me free pt.2" on repeat in their Spotify Wraps.

And I don't care what all the wanna-be "experts" in the fandom say or think they know, ya'll don't know SHIT. Because Jimin DID stepped out of his comfort zone enough to try something new (stepping out of one's comfort zone & showing a mature image doesn't mean singing about sex/fucking, wanting more money, awards and superficial desires) and tell us a bit about his story, what he's been through as an Idol behind closed doors and away from the cameras.

That fame comes with the heavy price/burden of loneliness, feeling tired, fed up and empty despite "having it all".

That your closest friends ARE your worst enemies; the first to point the finger, judge and betray you.

But through it all there IS hope, there IS still fighting left and you CAN overcome these dark times.

And then we got MUSE, the light of Hope, a new beginning; start over, lets find love again, lets find that spark that made us feel alive. Our Muse.

And its not just PJMs wishing/waiting to see what Jimin will surprise us with next. Its EVERYONE who started this journey with Jimin as a solo artist and that includes people who don't even care about kpop.

So why settle for less?

Why go back to the less than 5 second lines per song/albums, go back to Jimin being shoved away into a dark blurry corner, to Jimin not being rightfully credited for his contribution, to whatever HE achieves be reduced/watered down to "a group achievement". "if he won, the group won"?

"Oh but you HAVE to support the whole group because Jimin loves them 🥺 If you don't, then you dont love Jimin and you're an anti/fake fan."

Sweety, listen, imma hold your hand and look you in the eyes when I tell you this because its very clear you still haven't reached a certain level of maturity you can only get after tripping over a few boulders up the ladder to adulthood.

I LOVE my girls, I love my besties, I literally grew up with them. But loving them doesn't mean I have to feel obligated to love their job, their side friends, their romantic partners, their choice in career, even their everyday life choices.

Does that make me a bad friend? No. I still love my friends, I still support them as INDIVIDUALS, give 'em the thumbs up, hype them up privately even when I don't support or agree with that they do/say.

What does this translate to: You're not a bad Jimin fan or a fake fan because you choose not to support the GROUP activities, content anymore (NO NORMAL FAN OF ANY ARTIST IN ANY GENRE IS EVER PUT UP THROUGH THIS TYPE OF OBSESSIVE BULLSHIT, THIS ONLY HAPPENS IN KPOP). Jimin has already given us enough projects and music we can keep streaming and supporting while we patiently wait for his next solo project HOWEVER LONG IT MAY TAKE. Just like we can hype individual content that comes out of Jimin while he's still part of the group; there will always be Solo/Member focused fancams and photos anyway.

Just like choosing to support the group comeback BECAUSE OF JIMIN doesn't make you a bad/fake fan either.

What DOES make you a bad/fake fan is trying to police, manipulate, guilt-trip people into supporting or not supporting based on SHEEP mentality. Because that level of toxicity that plagued the main group fandom is what caused Solo fandoms to form in the first place. Because we wanted the freedom to choose who and what we wanted to stan and hype without being called fake, guiltripped or being (hypothetically) "kicked out" of the fandom (which is the most mentally retarded shit you can believe in, since you CANT prevent someone from Solo stanning who they want outside of fandom spaces. The streams and sales will always keep coming for that member even when the big fandom tries to act like someone they "kicked out" doesn't matter/exist).
