Awesome translation as always by Hybe Boy! "...love is not about the cover but what's inside the book" got me teary. Also, speaking as a former performing artist, Joonie is spot on about needing time to live life to inform one's art. I've seem too many artists forget to fill their life with rich+

"Whatever form that takes, I want to protect this brand [probably BTS]. On my own, my flaws, my issues, my complexes make me overthink everything and think too much. 💜💜 But the members help ease that burden and make me a better person.💜💜

--all translations from the Hybe Boy youtube translation

"With Hobi and with the others, everyone was making things fun, and 💜💜 seeing the way we all look at each other, looking into each other's eyes,💜💜 I thought, yeah, we're really like this. 💜💜 We are really like this. 💜💜 That's just who we are.

Joon's live led to so much ~discussion that I fear the beautiful things he said about the members and their dynamic got lost, so I wanted to post them here (stitched from different parts of the live) together.

"Continuing the team now is because 💜💜 we have so much love for each other...💜💜

I like that there are a lot of women on BTS's staff. Whenever we see staff members the women usually outnumber men and it's refreshing. I bet they have a nice time, I always wonder how much the staff gets to enjoy the trips because it kinda seems like there is some fun off-camera time too.

I can't believe I just typed in "grindr hottest men" into google.
The things BTS has me doing

I already don't watch Eurovision, but now I DEFINITELY won't. Bravo to Ireland, Spain, and the Netherlands for sticking to their principles even if it means missing out on fun.

Kim Seokjin laughing candidly, dressed casually in a hooded jacket, looking like pure happiness, warmth, humour and kindness. And also incredibly handsome

Seokjinnie, I don’t have words for how much your presence in my life gives me. You came to me in the darkest moment. You showed me you were deep in my heart all along, the thing I needed. You bring me joy, steadiness, encouragement, comfort, calm. And love. Safe, growing, true. Happy Birthday. ❤️

Bless Hobi's glorious camera roll. May he always stay generous and incredibly organized. His tannie birthday photo shares are such a gift! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

OMG I should be asleep but he's one of my biases, I had to watch live and I asked him about miyeok guk in the comments AND HE ANSWERED (if I'm understanding correctly) he'll maybe be eating it at dinner with his family & I can die happy now omggggggggg, I'm never going to fall asleep now 💜🤣💜

Jimin’s Dear ARMY/Letter has a beautiful, warm feel to it. Watching him sing it in this live performance video always makes me feel cared for.

BTS label boss Seon Jeong Shin talks superfans, ARMY, and the K-pop superstars’ ‘unprecedented’ comeback MBW’s World Leaders series meets Seon Jeong Shin, President of HYBE’s flagship record label BIGHIT MUSIC…

Important quote from Big Hit CEO Shin Seon-jeong about the AI question:

"I firmly believe tech can never be a replacement for creativity — it’s a supporting tool designed to amplify an artist’s individuality and message. Music, at its core, must always originate from human emotion and authenticity"

YouTube video by South China Morning Post How Korea's alphabet is saving an Indonesian dialect

Did you know Korean hangul scholars visit places with languages that do not have written characters to help them adopt hangul to preserve and teach them? This is a neat example of one of the languages

“At first, I was worried about whether I could perform alone without the other members. But ARMY’s enthusiasm and support far exceeded my expectations, and seeing everyone’s smiles made me wonder, ‘Is there really anything I can’t do in front of ARMY?”

Hooray to all the ARMYs that made him so happy

remember honey kkul fm radio during the panini?

missing them 😔

DESERVED

Also also what if we’re not hearing from Yoongi bc he’s busy making the most amazing concept album ever *and* filming season 2 of Suchwita? What if he does a special just to talk about the album with all the members and what it was like making music together again and how they’ve grown as artists?
