Halloooo ihr Lieben!
Ist schon ewig her 😅 Ich vermisse euch alle – und BTS natürlich auch.
Ich lerne gerade Deutsch, weil ich bald in Österreich arbeite (hab einen Job in Wien bekommen 🥹✨).
Hat jemand Lust, mit mir Deutsch zu üben und dabei zusammen zu fangirlen? 💜💜
How I hear this
🐨 To those I love ceaselessly—
Did you have a good Seollel?
Did you have your bowl of tteokguk?
I don’t know how it happened, but somehow, I blinked and turned 32 in Korean age.
I keep insisting I’m only 30 internationally,
but watching myself cling to that number… yeah, I think it’s time to admit it—
I’ve really become an ahjussi now.
(On top of that, people these days say 30 is basically the new 25…what kind of nonsense is that?)
Happy New Year, by the way.
Since I forgot to say it earlier—
I, Kim Namjoon, am now officially a sergeant. (…)
Sarge Kim!!
We all got promoted early, so now the 4 of us are sergeants.
It’s nice, I guess… though they say military life truly begins at this rank. ㅎㅎ;
But knowing my next promotion is to civilian? That’s the real joy.
Being a sergeant is nice.
But being a civilian?
Nothing beats that.
I still remember when I first enlisted—
the training instructors and my seniors used to joke,
“You really think 2025 will ever come?”
“Even if you were beaten to death, 2025 still wouldn’t arrive.”
Those words come to mind again and again.
And yet—time does pass.
Strangely enough.
Though if you ask me,
it already feels like I’ve been here for more than 2 years.
So now, I pass down the same wisdom to my juniors.
“Hey, you really think 2026 will come…?”
Yep.
It’s childish. I know.
Act my age? Nooo way.
2024 was… a lot.
Good, bad—either way, I doubt I’ll ever forget it.
How about you?
Seeing 2 of the members come out and cheer us on,
I feel both wistful and relieved.
Civilians have it best.
There’s so much I want to tell you when I’m back.
Even things I can’t quite say yet.
But someday, I’ll find my own way to say them.
On sleepless nights, as I drift through the dark,
I remind myself—
It will come. Jun 10 will come.
And when it does, I will smile.
Brahahha I will laugh it off!
It’s already Feb. Just 4 months left.
And once March comes, we’ll be under the 100-day mark.
Same as always—
I’m here, working out, playing my instrument,
and on weekends, listening to music, watching movies, and studying.
Getting ready to come back.
Hope you all stay healthy too.
To celebrate my promotion, I shaved my head again.
I’m attaching a photo.
Oh—this was before I shaved.
Anyway! I’m surviving somehow,
so don’t worry too much.
I love youuu 🥰
and nobody could ever make me see this as a drag. you want me to boo him because he took the criticism he received and used it to not only better himself, but his art, as a problem? yet to this day you’re still trying to reach your idol and beg for the same plus an apology ohh….
I love people who can put their pride aside, apologize, and actually change their behaviour. That awareness, accountability, and emotional intelligence is so attractive.
TBR has a comprehensive summary wrap up article on the end of the Jamboree:
“The Jamboree Sh*tshow”
with the scathing subheading:
“The embarrassing mismanagement of the World Scout Jamboree ended with one of the most disgraceful K-pop concerts in history”+

The vegan option is obvs Vegan Butter Tofu (mishaps only our part)

when namjoon said "to all who are standing strong and living the lives you've paved for yourself, breaking free from discriminatory views and objections of others, i'm supporting you. but again to those who are bound by the present reality, i'm supporting you too."
From Namjun’s IG stories.
“1. How to become a tree”. Page from the book “The Art of Transforming” (1997) by 🇰🇷 multi-media artist Kim Beom (b. 1963).
This artist book is an instruction manual on how to transform into a tree, a leopard, a door, and even an air conditioner.+
