from "curry" to bindis to mudras, south asian cultural appropriation has been a huge problem in k-pop for many years now and i'm fed up. my culture is not a joke. my culture is not an aesthetic. take ten minutes out of your day and please educate yourself:
very odd how bts was grouped into the k-pop category despite not singing in korean, yet billie eilish and rosalía were grouped into the latin category for singing in spanish despite not being latina artists. begs the question- which one is it? language or ethnicity?
btw if you think ticketmaster cancelling the general public sale for taylor swift tickets because of demand is unprecedented, boy do i (your friendly neighborhood bts stan) have some news for you!
tw// eating disorder
"my relationship with food was exactly the same psychology that I applied to everything else in my life ... you just start to accommodate everything towards praise and punishment, including your own body" that really is /exactly/ how it feels sigh :(
smth that always strikes me when i see these kind of halftime show style big performances is just how used to them i am? like they're supposed to be a huge rare spectacle but when you're an army it's literally every award show performance bts ever does lmao
So remember when Taehyung was playing a song he made off the top of his head in Namjoon's vlive a little while back? I was bored and it was stuck in my head so this happened hehe.
@BTS_twt
Taehyung, (I know you won't but) if you see this: write and release the song, coward.
i've always been that person who thinks tattoos are scary because of their permanence, yet here i am with "everythingoes" tattooed on me. my permanent reminder of impermanence. i'm so thankful to namjoon for creating the song and comforting me with that message.
BRUH IT'S ALMOST EXACTLY SIX YEARS AFTER BTS' DEBUT IMAGINE TELLING THEM THAT SIX YEARS LATER THEY'D BE PLAYING A SOLD OUT WEMBLEY STADIUM TWICE AND BE MEMBERS OF THE FUCKING RECORDING ACADEMY I'M SO FUCKING SAD
so there's some false information going around that i feel the need to clear up, just from an ethical journalist's standpoint: blackpink's label in america is NOT owned by the same company that owns the pcas. umg was never a part of nbcu, even when it was partially under vivendi.
melanie fontana and supreme boi knowing they're hated by more than 22 million people and bighit, ever the fan-pleasers, could get rid of them at any moment
if i see anyone using that apologist hashtag it's an unfollow on sight bc i'm not dealing with such dumbassery on my tl. and if you think i'm wrong for saying that, dm me and we can have a lil chat about it.
Although we were extremely proud when BTS got a Grammy nomination for "Dynamite," there was also a twinge of dissatisfaction and an undercurrent of xenophobia that we all felt. Here's my take on why BTS' Grammy nomination feels like both a win and a loss:
in my first byline for
@BusinessInsider
, i had the opportunity to vent out the collective grievances of music fans against ticketmaster, share some of the company’s history, and look into the actions being taken to stop their exploitative behavior:
when i say i can't wait to kick off the new year, i am in fact referring specifically to jhope chicken noodle soup kicking in the middle of times square
@songforarmys
The way Namjoon mouths "careful" with that pointed look and Hobi purposely stalls and Yoongi picks up on it and uses humor as a solution and says BTS and the rest of the guys jump onto that and the whole thing plays out so smoothly UGH I STAN INTELLIGENCE
@pearlowrites
It's honestly ridiculous- we make a joke or headcanon about him and then like 3 days later it turns out to be true literally who is this boy where did he come from
I KNEW IT SOUNDED FAMILIAR-
TXT'S CAN'T WE JUST LEAVE THE MONSTER ALIVE AND OUTRO EGO ARE SISTER SONGS THE BIGHIT PRODUCERS AREN'T SLICK LMAO

the way we're just talking about the fact that jungkook has a mercedes, making "gays can't drive" jokes, and sharing our dumbest car accident stories has the same energy as us celebrating and congratulating yoongi on having the first bts dating rumor
icb trevor noah had a whole minute or so to sit down with bts while hosting and wasted it on asking namjoon, yet again, about learning english from friends

... this article could've been better...
The fanbase is a lot more diverse than young females and JK was definitely not grateful to be sitting. Also, for an article reviewing the concert and performance, the writer talked a whole lot about the fans and the members' visuals...
A lil explanation of the improvement in Jimin's voice and his vocal technique, from a classically trained singer's perspective uwu 🥰
