exploding into loud, happy sobs first thing in the morning was not what i had planned, but oh well. what a victory.
do you know the true power of what this means? let's talk about it.
because beyond deciding that their music does not exist to be ranked, they have also decided that their worth cannot be handed over to an academy. it cannot be measured by numbers, achievements, trophies, or by the approval of people who have never truly taken the time to see them. an academy that has never seen them as human, that has never wanted to understand the depth of their artistry or the truth behind their music. they have always been more than a category, more than a statistic, more than a name waiting to be validated.
they have never been treated fairly, even when they have always played by the rules they were given. they showed up, they worked, they created, they gave everything. and still. STILL. they were made to feel like they had to prove their worth over and over again.
but today, they chose to break that endless circle.
if you cannot see my worth, then i will no longer beg you to look. if you cannot recognize the power in what i create, then i will carry that power somewhere you cannot take it away from me. because my value was never yours to give. my music was never yours to define. and my existence was never meant to be validated by a room that refused to understand it.
today it's about loudly saying that their music is theirs.
and yeah, sometimes the greatest victory is realizing you were never meant to fit into a system that was never built to hold you. bangtan sonyeondan, everybody. @bts_twt
Sure, #JungKook has had viral campaigns for @CalvinKlein before, but this time, for the first time, he's had an active hand in designing the collection he's selling. In an exclusive interview, the #BTS hitmaker tells GQ about his blockbuster CKJK collection, his passion for motorcycles, and how his hand tattoos inspired his new signature underwear: https://t.co/PVDFvFTV8y
