Why are the comments praising non-consensual touching of BTS members?
Saying it's "okay because she's pretty" is actually super gross.
They are humans, not dolls to be touched at your whim.
Dr Woo finally shared j-hope and Namjoon's visit to his studio in Los Angeles and close up photos of their tattoos! 🥹😍

🐨 "a human"

In his music, RM seems suspicious of the idea of a “right place,” especially when others claim to know the way. In Yun, he raps:
이쪽저쪽에서 받았던 손가락질들이
Those fingers that once pointed at me from all sides
이젠 가야 할 곳이라며 저 산을 가리키지
now point to that mountain, saying that’s where I have to go
He also gives examples of their pressure tactics:
That’s where you belong
Oh, you gon’ be alone if
뭣도 아닌 그 진심들을 고집하면은
you keep clinging to those sincere convictions of yours that amount to nothing
팀 빠진 넌 사실 뭣도 아니야 너는
Without the team, you’re really nothing
고속도로서 오솔길로 가려 해 너는
You’re trying to leave the highway for a narrow footpath
그냥 내 말 좀 들어 그러다 다 잃어
Just listen to me. Keep that up & you’ll lose everything
늘 그랬듯 you go with the flow, you get better
Like you always have, you go with the flow, you get better
RM replies:
늘 나의 자리는 경계선의 pipeline
My place has always been along the boundary’s pipeline
여전히 난 허락되지 않는 꿈을 꿔
I still dream dreams that aren’t permitted
아무도 보지 않는 춤을 춰
I dance a dance no one sees
Later he adds:
나 당신이 말한 진리가 뭔지 몰라 다만
I don’t know what the truth you spoke of is, I’m just
그저 찾아가는 길 위 나의 속도와 방향
on the road searching for it, at my own speed & in my own direction
In Korean & other East Asian traditions, 도 (do) can mean a path or way & also a way of living. Zhuangzi, a key Daoist philosopher, questions the idea that one fixed standpoint can determine the proper way for all. Here, 도 highlights who gets to define the way
When RM discussed Right Place, Wrong Person with Jimin, they discussed who gets to decide what “wrong” means
In the past, RM has also referenced The Good Place, a series that begins by sorting people into morally “right” & “wrong” destinations & thus exposing the instability of this type of system
Yun also links this with what it means to become human:
그는 말했지 늘, 먼저 사람이 돼라
He always said, become a human first
예술 할 생각 말고 놀아 느껴 희로애락
Don’t think about making art. Play. Feel joy, anger, sorrow and pleasure
Here, a human is a person who is allowed to experience the full range of ordinary feeling, to play & to pursue their way. Yun seems to make this a condition for art + also for living truthfully
