The six Cornell students that were suspended for the Free Palestine encampments need to come together & sue Cornell University. If you can suspend six students for free speech, you can expelled all seven students for a violent crime against another student. Hold them accountable.

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. THIS CORNELL LAWSUIT IS HORRIFYING. 🤯

A former 20-year-old Cornell student has filed a 101-PAGE LAWSUIT alleging that seven Chi Phi fraternity members drugged and gang-raped her during an hours-long assault at the fraternity house in October 2024.

According to the lawsuit, she was visibly intoxicated and had an “X” on both hands indicating she was underage when she attended a Tri-Delta event at Moonies Bar & Nightclub, yet she alleges employees continued serving her alcohol.

After leaving around 11 p.m., she went to the Chi Phi house to meet Matthew Ingalls. The lawsuit alleges Ingalls and Johnathan Newell pressured her to take what they told her was ketamine, along with marijuana and additional alcohol. She alleges the sexual assault began shortly afterward.

Then, at approximately 1:42 A.M., Newell allegedly sent a message to the “Chi Phi Actives” Snapchat group:

“FREE PY” upstairs.*

One person allegedly responded, “This is crazy work,” while another allegedly wrote, “Like you can walk in and whip it out.”

According to the complaint, additional fraternity members then entered the room. It further alleges Newell ordered her to snort ketamine off his erect p*nis and that seven men poured ketamine over her body and snorted it.

The alleged assault continued until approximately 5:45 A.M., and the lawsuit says she was completely incapacitated.

She reported the allegations to Cornell police on November 8, 2024, after which Cornell suspended the Chi Phi chapter and the seven accused students.

But the lawsuit raises another disturbing issue: according to her attorney, only TWO of the seven were expelled, while others received lesser sanctions including suspensions, workshops and the opportunity to submit ESSAYS to Cornell to mitigate their conduct.

NO CRIMINAL CHARGES WERE FILED. The Tompkins County District Attorney’s Office said there was insufficient evidence to support charges, while an attorney for one of the accused men has denied the allegations.

Cornell says its Office of Civil Rights and Office of Student Conduct investigated the allegations and that the Chi Phi Xi chapter remains barred from campus.

#LyricsOfBTS — WE ON (Album: O!RUL8,2)

Listening to We On now is hilarious because the confidence is almost prophetic. But beneath all the bravado, the song is really about refusing to let other people decide what BTS are worth.

어차피 너희들은 보고 싶은 것만 보지
You guys only see what you want to see anyway.

This is basically the foundation of the song.

People have already decided what they think BTS are before actually listening to them. So why waste time trying to convince them?

Instead, Namjoon starts the song by defining himself on his own terms, He says

런치란다와 랩몬, 모두 나의 일부
Runch Randa and Rap Monster are all parts of me.

I love 모두 나의 일부 here....all of them are parts of me.
He isn't separating his past from his present. Runch Randa didn't disappear when Rap Monster appeared and Rap Monster did disappear when RM appeared (RM appeared much later on, post the release of this song) Every version became part of the person standing here now.

And then comes one of my favourite wordplays:

니가 귀염을 토할 때, 난 기염을 토해
When you demonstrate your cuteness, I demonstrate my power and energy

There is a contrast between 귀염 and 기염. They sound almost identical, but 귀염 is cuteness, while 기염 refers to displaying tremendous energy or force.

So the line basically turns the other person's “cuteness” into his own fire.

Same sound. Completely different energy.

Then, we see

열등감에 찬 저 모두까기 인형들
Full of inferior complex, those who criticize anything and everything

This plays on 호두까기 인형 (Nutcracker), replacing 호두 with 모두, “everything.” So the image becomes something like “everything-cracking dolls”, describing people who criticise everything.

The insults throughout the song aren't random. BTS are surrounded by people who think they can reduce them to appearances, stereotypes and preconceived ideas.

And their response is basically, You don't know me well enough to define me.

Which leads perfectly into,

넘버원이 아닌 only one
Not number one, but the only one.

This might be the line that best captures the song for me. They aren't interested in being number one according to somebody else's ranking. They want to be only one.

Unique. Irreplaceable. Themselves.

And then the song makes that purpose explicit,

Whatever they say, I'm here for my muzik.

Whatever people say about them doesn't change why they're here. Not for approval. Not to fit somebody else's idea of what an idol should be.

They are here for their music. That's why the title We On feels so good in context. It's not really “look at us, we're better than you.”

It's, "You can keep talking. We're still moving."

And what's especially interesting is how early this confidence appears.

BTS were still at the beginning of their career, still being told what they were supposed to be, still being dismissed and underestimated.

Yet they were already writing themselves as something that couldn't be defined from the outside.

Not number one.Only one.
