namjoon, i know you don’t believe in the idea of someone saving someone else, but there was a time when BTS gave me a reason to wake up every single day. when getting through the day felt hard, you gave me a reason to keep going. i’ll spend a lifetime being grateful for that.
perhaps nobody truly saves another person.
perhaps we simply leave enough light in each other's hands that finding ourselves becomes a little easier. thank you for leaving so much light in mine. for giving me thirteen years of pieces of yourself that i will carry with me forever
no one’s saying casual listeners aren’t allowed to attend concerts. but saying, “kahit hindi ka fan ng bts, deserve mo naman sila mapanood kasi sikat sila” misses the point.
it’s not about being “more deserving” as a person. it’s about understanding that for some people, that ticket represents years of support, waiting, saving up and hoping for the chance to finally see an artist they genuinely love.
if you got a ticket fairly, that’s your right. but reducing it to “deserve ko kasi sikat sila” makes it sound less like genuine appreciation for the artist and more like fomo over a trending event.
for you, it might just be a fun experience. for someone else, it’s a dream they’ve been waiting years to fulfill.
It’s a matter of perspective.
If you’re going to talk about privilege, not everyone has the means to be able to watch concert overseas. So being able to watch at multiple stops is a privilege that only those who can afford will be able to enjoy.
