Rapline: J-Hope:
🌞Daydream - Sometimes I want to do ordinary shit.
🌞Blue Side - Sometimes I want somewhere quiet enough to disappear into.
🌞P.O.P (Piece of Peace) Pt.1 - I want to give people hope, but choosing to comfort people doesn’t make me responsible for everybody’s emotional regulation.
🌞Pandora’s Box - You know me as “hope,” but carrying that identity comes with expectations.
🌞MORE - I’m not staying inside the version of j-hope that makes everybody comfortable.
🌞STOP - Human beings are more complicated than “good” and “bad.” One action doesn’t automatically tell you everything about someone’s character.
🌞= (Equal Sign) - Difference doesn’t require moral hierarchy. We can disagree and still respect one another as equals.
🌞What if… - If I’m not sunshine today, do you still want Jung Hoseok?
🌞Safety Zone - I’ve spent years giving everybody else comfort. Where exactly am I supposed to get mine?
🌞Future - I can’t control everything ahead of me. I still have to move forward.
🌞on the street - Before all of this, I was a dancer who loved music. That person still exists.
🌞NEURON - My relationship with hip-hop, dance and music existed before your relationship with me.
🌞Chicken Noodle Soup - I am not only an artist. I’m also somebody who grew up loving, studying and being influenced by other artists.
The man has been telling us since 2018 that celebrity changed his relationship with ordinary freedom. Then he gets one night where he can go out with his friend, listen to musicians he knows and grew up hearing, laugh, dance and enjoy himself, and people immediately turn the night into a referendum on his morality.
You don’t have to approve of where he went.
But there’s something deeply contradictory about listening to a man spend years telling us “I want room to be Jung Hoseok too” and then responding to an ordinary night out by demanding that j-hope report back and explain himself.
All seven BTS members stand united in their decision not to submit to the Grammys this year. ✊
"We’ve decided not to submit our work for this year’s Grammy Awards. We hope music will be recognized and loved for what it is, rather than being divided by region or language. Thank you, as always, to ARMY and everyone who supports us." 🔥
BTS is set to release two official books on September 15th, including a lyric collection breaking down the stories and meanings behind their songs.
— The group will also release a cookbook featuring Korean dishes and recipes inspired by their album eras and personal favorites.
