A.R.M.Y
iโve joined army
cuz iโve found you charming
you differ from the crowd
and your voices are loud
iโve always admired your work ethic
though people seem to think iโm pathetic
the lessons you taught me are real
cuz of you i learned to express how i feel
its not about me
finally breaking free
i dont have any will
lastly before you,iโll cautiously kneel
i act like itโs okay
but i just observe from afar
at least count on me to stay
you were born to be a superstar
namjoon: alright Hoseok how are you gonna get out of this one?
hobi: well,iโm going to say verbally because judging by your tone youโre not in the mood for the dance iโve prepared.
the rest of BTS: *shuffle off disappointedly*
Hoseok:Seokjin,Namjoon wonโt come out of his room.
Seokjin:just tell him I said something stupid.
Hoseok:like what?
Seokjin:like anything factually incorrect.
Namjoon,a few minutes later: DID YOU JUST SAY THE SUN IS A F*CKING PLANET-
My favorite moment in the entire music video. (I tried three times to get the gifs to match up this is killing me.)

As someone that is really passionate about mental health it has been so infuriating today to see the way that some ARMY have reacted to the video.
These men have given their absolute everything in the past 9 years. I cannot even imagine how hard it must have been and what kind of pressure they have been under.
You can see how hard it was for them to do what was right for them and take some time off and apart. To admit that and pursue that. And the way they said it in the video in such a mature and calm and thoughtful way. They cried and reassured us and each other that BTS will be back and that they are thankful for everything. To then have "fans" screaming how unfair it is/omg are they disbanding/why would they do this/they are a group I don't want solo projects.
Like before they are BTS, these idols you fantasize about and praise and obssess over- first and foremost they are human beings. Humans who have sacrificed so much and finally are putting themselves first.
Also for God's saks: if you actually watched the video and listened you would know that they are NOT disbanding, they are taking a break, focusing on solo projects. (READ their words and listen to what they are saying instead of making assumptions).
Yes, I cried and was sad but I am also so immensly happy and proud!!! I hope they rest and I hope they have fun and I hope they do what THEY want without worrying about the world. And when and if they come back (although they promised and they keep their promises!!) we will welcome them with open arms.
So I beg some of you to get a life and then realize if you actually love them you would be happy for them.
Another reminder: learn from their example. Focus on yourself. Take care and rest when you need to. It is okay to do that. I love you. ๐๐๐
at least they know about it
Notes: Itโs time to express some of my thoughts regarding every memberโs solo albums and singles. Iโve been putting it off for months. Letโs do it without further delay, starting with the first member to have released his solo album.
โIt flapped its delicate wings as it danced around Pandora, lightly brushing against her shoulder.โ
Basically itโs the story of Pandora in Greek Mythology and the origin of hope in the mortal world. If you havenโt heard it yet, this post is a sign for you to look it up (also check out Ted Edโs video โThe myth of Pandoraโs boxโ for more details). The narration of the story (J-Hopeโs intro) is smooth and short. It sounds pleasing to the ears. And it is definitely a unique idea for his albumโs intro. I believe what Hoseokโs been trying to tell is that what he is to the Armys is what hope is to all the people on earth.
โJ to the Hope, Jung to the Huimang, Jack in the boxโ
Only Hoseok can make a fine connection between a myth, a toy and his whole personality and also make total sense. Itโs probably my first time listening to a song that is a retelling of a myth. And Hoseok did an amazing job here. The lyrics made my jaw drop, like literally. I said it once and Iโll say it a hundred times, BTS is one of the few artists who knows what poetry truly is. And this song is one of the many living proofs.
โMy work makes me breathe. So I want moreโ
The first released song with the music video shook me a great deal like it did to many Armys Iโm sure. The sunshine of the group in such a grim-emo kinda look was absolutely out of the blue. Nevertheless, this vibe suits him right. Comparing their passion for making art with an awful addiction is a thing BTS did in their early works too. I can see that theme portrayed from Hoseokโs perspective so well.
โThe only belief that rules over me, โThere are no bad people in the worldโโ
The struggle of freeing yourself of the innate nature of being judgmental is portrayed in this masterpiece. Shoutout to Hoseok for speaking about the truth of today's world and peopleโs values and ethics while still keeping an open mind, making sure not to judge anyone harshly. The lyrics definitely deserve praise. But personally I think it is not a song that I can listen to more than once.
โSame, the breaths we breathe. Same, the dreams we dream ofโ
Yes! Sing it, J-hope. Whoโs going to give us hope at times of despair if it isnโt you? The change is indeed soon to begin. Weโre all in this together. Letโs make a better world without prejudice and hate. BTS, as well as us, the Armys; we believe in โLoveโ.
This one is actually brilliant. At first I played it on repeat many times a day. I even set it as my alarm ringtone and it is still there. I know, we shouldnโt be doing that because it makes us hate the music afterwards. But I still couldnโt grow to dislike it. This music has a whole aesthetic to it that makes me imagine myself in a music video everytime I play it.
โWhat if I have nothing?โ
This one shows what Hoseok has been trying to portray through the whole album pretty directly. You can see him questioning his own personality. Is he really all sunshine and rainbows inside out? I mean, is that even possible for a human? You can hear his passion pouring out in the voice. Chefโs kiss to the bravery of finally speaking out; louder for the people on the back.
โIn my 20โs, Iโm living an endless lifeโ
It hurts when you look up a song and you find the lyrics so sad. The life of an idol is never really easy. People need to keep in mind that these idols are humans too. Give them some break for Godโs sake. They talk about their struggles through their songs and yet we fail to see it. I really hope Hoseok finds peace and happiness that he deserves.
โWalking in the future, a step of hopeโ
The fact that Hoseok worries about his future too shows how much he is like us. After all, at the end of the day, weโre all human. Letโs keep our courage and step forward.
โDo I put out the fire or burn even brighter?โ
Just think about the poetic effect of the last line of the last song. Even though I liked most of the songs from this album, Arson takes the trophy. The music, the lyrics, the mv, everything is just fine as fine can be. J-Hope never disappoints us with his unique ideas. Iโm in loveโฆ
Notes:ย The album is a masterpiece and it deserves all the attention it got and more. Apart from the fact that the music and the beats are all kinda dope, we need to focus on its lyricism too. This album feels like a cry for help. We need to acknowledge Hoseok's struggle as an idol and try to sympathize. Let's try to become the best version of ourselves as fans and let our idols live a normal life while supporting them unconditionally.
Fandom: BTS Characters: Younger Brothers BTS and Elder Sister Narrator Genre: A Little Dramatic and A Little Comedic Word Count: 1.3K Words Warning:ย Mention of other idols such as Lisa and Ryujin, tearing down clothes, breakdown, crying etc. Note: Itโs a siblings AU story of BTS with the narrator as their elder sister. I tried to write something different from what I usually write about. I had fun making this. Hope it makes you feel good too. Happy Reading Everyone :)
Summary: Her little brothers canโt attend to a single task without her help. Be it a dance competition or asking out a girl for a date, they always seem to be finding everything too hard to go through without her by their side. โOur lucky charmโ; thatโs what they like to call her. But what if she turns out to be a misfortune in different situations in one single day?
Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 3 - Part 4 - More to come
06:45 a.m. 1st September, 2015
I still have more than an hour before Hobiโs aka Hoseokโs dance starts. So, I decided to take a shower and apply some light makeup that would suit all the occasions I am to participate in. I had taken a day off work today. Because, Iโm about to meet my seven little brothers, that too, at different times in one single day.
I make a mental note of my schedule and get out of my house (Sorry, itโs actually my granma's house) 10 minutes prior to Hobiโs dance. He is going to participate in the finale of the dance competition he had been practicing for for the last three years. Though a little nervous, Iโm pretty positive he is going to win. I mean, why not? Heโs the best dancer I have ever seen.
โCome here!โ Hobi waves his hand while talking to me on the phone. I go straight to him pushing the crowd ahead of me.
โYou should have hurried, Noona!โ Hobi says with a pout, โI have to go change. The showโs starting.โ
โAlright!โ I tell him, โGo on, then. Iโll be cheering you on from the crowd. Are you nervous?โ
โNah!โ Hobi dismisses the question with a slight wave of his hand and by putting a bright smile on his face, โWhy would I be? Iโve got you.โ
I take his hands in mine, clearly noticing the sweaty palms, โFighting!โ
โFighting!โ with a little shake of the hands he disappears inside the dressing room.
Lisa starts her performance with a loud applause from the crowd. I had watched some of the previous dance performances of others in the videos Hoseok brought home for me to see. But I donโt remember watching any of her. Watching her perform live in front of me makes me a little nervous. She has one of the best body controls. And it is definitely something to worry about.
The next participant gets as much cheers from the crowd as her previous competitor. Her nameโs Ryujin and I had seen her collaborating with Hobi before. I liked that dance so much at the time. Now, Iโm not really sure Iโm liking her moves. Of course, she can dance. And that is exactly my problem.
Finally, Hoseok takes the stage as โJ-Hopeโ and the crowd bursts into loud screams from the enthusiasts. All my anxieties take some rest. But as soon as he starts to move along the beat, I feel like Iโm holding my breath. As if that would ensure his perfect performance.
Everything goes smoothly until at a point Hoseok rips off his shirt; earning more screams from the audience. Iโm shocked at the revelation. Is it a mistake? I mean, Hoseok would never do that. Once he had told me himself that he doesnโt like showing much skin. Itโs the choreography that matters more to him.
But it seems like Iโm the only one whoโs confused. Others around me seem to be enjoying the dance along with that little distraction that he made. However, I gather myself just before the end so that I donโt forget to cheer and clap the loudest for my little Hobi.
Thereโs a thirty minute break before they announce the winner of the long one month competition. I check my phone and gasp.
Three missed calls from Yoongi.
I check the time. Itโs already 8:48 a.m. Yoongiโs game starts at 8:30 a.m. I was supposed to be with him now. I look out for Hobi.
โYou did great!โ I compliment him hurriedly.
โThanks butโฆโ Hobi frowns.
โWhatโs the matter?โ I take a closer look at his sweaty face.
โItโs just thatโ Hobi continues, โI feel like I made a mistake.โ
My phone rings before I could tell him anything. Itโs Yoongi again.
โUmmโฆโ I hesitate before speaking, โI still believe youโre going to win. Hobiโฆ Please donโt mind butโฆ I really have to be somewhere now.โ
โWhat?โ Hobi looks up, โNo way! Wait for the announcement at least. Please, Noona! You promised!โ
โI promised I will watch you perform. And I did that. Besides, you didnโt mention the results will take that long to be announced. I have to meet Yoongi. Apparently he has an important match too.โ
Hobi scoffs, โAs if heโs the one playing.โ
I can sense the anger rising within him. First of all, heโs upset about some mistakes that he made. Now that Iโve mentioned Yoongi, heโs definitely pissed. Hoseok never liked the fact that Yoongi bets money on basketball matches. According to him, โItโs a waste of money if you lose. And a waste of character if you win.โ
โYou can go if you want.โ Hobi says finally, โItโs not even a huge deal.โ
I know he doesnโt mean that. It is in fact a huge deal for him. My common sense tells me it is better to deal with an angry Yoongi than with an angry Hoseok.
I smile and pull him into a hug. Heโs surprised by my sudden action. โWhatโre you doing?โ
โDonโt worry!โ I say, โNoona will stay so that you win.โ
โOh yeah!โ Hobi hugs me back, โThen, Iโll definitely win.โ
โIโll be there as soon as it ends.โ I yell at Yoongi through my phone because of the loud audience around me.
โYeah, take your time.โ Yoongi says bitterly, โLooks like Hoba is in need of some luck more than I do today. โCause weโre already winning.โ Then, he cuts the line.
I donโt have the time to think about his last remark. The three participants walk to the stage and the crowd cheers louder, as if it is even possible. I cheer for Hobi too, mentally praying to God that my little brother gets the fruit that heโs been nurturing for so long.
With some dramatic speeches and hearts beating up to our throats, the result is finally revealed. And J-Hope is not the winner.
Looks like Ryujin outdid the others this time and she is as shocked as I am to find it out. Both Lisa and Hobi are clapping with bright smiles on their faces. They are both bowing to Ryujin, who in turn is bowing to them. The flower bouquet is presented to her and the rest of the celebration goes on in blur.
I went backstage to meet Hobi. But I only see two girls hugging and complimenting each other. Hobi is nowhere to be seen. I look through the dressing room and heโs not there.
I decide to peek at the boyโs bathroom to check and I sigh in relief. Hobi is bending towards the basin, his hands covering the face while the faucet runs beneath.
โHobi!โ I call him softly.
โPlease, Noona!โ His voice cracks as he tries to speak, โJust give me some time. I promise Iโll be okay. Just some time is all I need.โ
Contemplating on why it is hard for me to believe that he is crying out of failure, I find that it is because I had never experienced Hoseok openly displaying sadness before. He was always the ray of sunshine, the restless butterfly or the sweet smelling flower of our family. As if it is whatโs expected of him.
Even right now, in such a vulnerable state of mind, he doesnโt seem to be trusting me enough to have confided in me. Instead, heโs willing to go through a breakdown all alone until heโs ready to smile brightly again.
I am dumbfounded. I feel like I need to tell him something, comfort him and let him know that heโs not here alone. I want to make him feel that it's okay to fail. That heโs still loved and thatโs what should matter the most.
My phone rings in my pocket once again and Hoseok looks up from the sink. With teary red eyes he says, โIt must be Yoongi Hyung. Donโt make him wait any longer. Just go. Iโll be fine.โ
โAre you sure?โ I ask, confused.
โI guess,โ he sniffs, โI accept my defeat. Maybe, Iโm not really the best dancer that you used to think I am.โ

Happy Birthday to My Eternal Sunshine
I canโt describe how much Iโm touched by J-hopeโs performance at the Lollapalooza. I donโt know why, but I have been too emotional lately. I never wanted to see anyone perform live, SO BAD,ย in my entire life. I had, long ago, accepted the fact that there is no chance of a concert in my country of the people I truly love and admire. But seeing J-Hope performing his best songs, in front of so many Armys, made me really sad. Even though I may never have a chance to see him perform live, I still wish him luck. J-Hope really deserves all the praises and love he is getting and MORE. Hobi, Borahae...
