I love when he does this! It's obviously much easier for me to catch when he writes in English, but it's great to see through translation how he does the same in Korean. There's this absolute confidence with language, a feeling of almost... putting his hands into the substance of it and playing.

And then all NJ's -어지네 constructions. So NJ sometimes does this thing where the kludges grammar that doesn't usually go together, and you know what it means, but it's not how you'd normally say it and it's interesting. +

마음은 걷지 않아도 저절로 걸어지네 [georeojine]
My mind, though I don’t try, travels on its own

미련이 빨래처럼 조각조각 널어지네 [neoreojine]
My lingering feeling gets hung piece by piece like wet laundry

붉은 추억들만 더러운 내 위에 덜어지네 [deoreojine]
Only the crimson-colored memories fall on my dirty self

내 가지를 떨지 않아도 자꾸만 떨어지네 [ddeoreojine]
Though I don’t shake my branches, they fall on their own

그래 내 사랑은 오르기 위해 떨어지네 [ddeoreojine]
Yeah, my love falls in order to rise

가까이 있어도 나의 두 눈은 멀어지네 벌어지네 [beoreojine]
Even when we’re close, my eyes get blind, and we get distant

이렇게 버려지네 [beoryeojine]
I get abandoned like this

추억 속에서 난 또 어려지네 [eoryeojine]
In the memories, I become young again

It's Textile Tuesday, and you know what that means: a piece by artist Faig Ahmed called "The Dragons of Karabakh" that's woven to look like an antique Central Asian carpet is melting off the wall into a puddle. More about the artist here: faigahmed.com

This article by an Asian Grammy winner gives perspective on the structural limitations of the Grammys, and sets out specific changes that could be made if they want to win back global stars like BTS. It also asks bigger questions about the industry overall. 🧵 rollingstoneindia.com/bts-grammys-...

so... this art is captioned 나 정구긴데? “but i’m jungkookie?” (said cutely) which is a short hand for JK’s maknae privileges in a situation where a hyung may ask “why should i let you do this? why should i do this for you?” all JK has to say is “but i’m jungkookie?” (said cutely)

PLEASE DONT SHARE THIS PERSON’S FANCAMS! they’re a stalker! (@ venkawithu_suga on twt & maybe other platforms) as well as chelsea__tae , also a stalker

“beware this watermark. they follow the boys [bts] around in their free time taking pics. they changed the watermark during the euro leg of tour when they got called out for following RM to all the museums”

the watermark is handwritten, but says @venkawithu_suga

The thought of jungkook directly experiencing The Great Army Yoonkook Crashout of 2026 and even reposting this cute fanart (dalgorang_ on insta). I wonder what else he has seen😂

An insta post of cute yoonkook fanart by Dalgorang. Jungkook has reposted it with two emojis - one raising its eyebrow, one laughing.

BTS Boycott the Grammys, But Will Other Artists Follow?

After the Grammys announced a Best Asian Pop category, BTS announced they won't submit their album. Will other artists follow their lead?

when I tell u Normal was telling us to listen to the whole album in reverse. A story of them chasing a dream & slowly becoming more bitter along the way. But they decide to keep swimming. No. 29 resets &they come out as fucking beasts to end it singing Arirang. Sunday thoughts

throwing tf up thinking of these two as basically kids having to lead the others in hip hop and how they have spent countless hours talking about their idols, pointing out parts of songs they love, and HERE THEY ARE WITH THE NAS. THE MAN WHO WAS NAMJOON'S BEACON. THE ONE NAMGI ADORE AND RESPECT.

a cramped shared studio. blue walls. a bedroom crammed with bunk beds. friends leaving for good. friends who left but came back. arguments and writing songs together by the han. facing down those who want to tear your dream apart. succeeding. living. yoongi, namjoon ... look how far you've come 🥹
