ONE WEEK to start treating patients at my uni in Gaza! I’m waiving all fees for them, but between tuition & dental supplies, the bills r adding up.
A little help could cover the basics so I can keep fixing smiles✨️🦷

army twit really needs to have a zero tolerance policy on ai content related to the members. take a moment to think about how psychologically damaging it is to see photorealistic images of your artificial self, posed and smiling as if your autonomy doesn’t exist. it’s cruel…
CAN WE ALL FUCKIN SEE????? INNOCENT KIDS,WOMEN,MEN, AND EVERYONE THAT HAS "PALESTINIAN" AS AN IDENTITY IS GOING TO BE MURDERED BCUS WE LET ISRAEL COMMIT A GENOCIDE AND MULTIPLE WAR CRIMES FOR 77 YEARS. IVE NEVER FELT SO FUCKIN USELESS IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. SPEAK UPPPP FOR THEM.
some armys themselves don’t know how to argue with someone who denies bts paving the way. y’all keep confusing “being there first” with “paving the way” and it’s why this convo goes in circles every time. so here it is.
the western industry didn’t start consistently making space for K-pop acts before bts. k-pop wasn’t treated as a mainstream, chart-dominating force. There wasn’t a repeatable pathway for multiple groups or artists to follow. Media still treated K-pop as niche or novelty.
gangam style was a viral novelty, one hit wonder. you wanna mention shinee, big bang, girls generation; all were recognised within pocket. not mainstream system. those were “moments.”
bts turned one-off appearances into sustained chart success, forced western media, charts, and award shows to adapt and include, made it “easier” for groups after them to enter the same spaces. yes, kpop acts before bts had international moments; tours, award wins, collabs, even recognition in western spaces. no one is denying that. but those moments didn’t change the system. they didn’t make the industry more accessible, they didn’t shift how media, charts, or labels treated kpop long-term, and they didn’t create a consistent path for others to follow. paving the way is about impact after you. it’s when the environment itself changes.
after bts, you don’t see “rare kpop appearances” anymore. you see entries, debuts, festival slots, charting, brand deals happening more frequently across multiple groups. that shift didn’t exist before at this huge scale.
brief visibility ≠ sustained success
paving the way is when your impact changes the environment itself. when what you did doesn’t end with you.
sure a lot of people did it first, not denying that. but if people still have to fight the same barriers the same way after you, you didn’t pave the way, you just passed through.
Please stop using AI on tannies pics. They keep voicing out their discomfort about it.
🐰: But we should really tone down using AI. I mean what I’m saying is, if AI is used in a way that helps a lot of people, like supporting certain jobs or meaningful work, then I think that’s really great.
🐰: But honestly, people are making all kinds of things with AI now… it’s getting hard to even tell what’s real and what’s AI anymore.
🐰: At that point, how is it any different from deepfakes? I think we shouldn’t overuse AI like this.
They did the tried and tested strategy of Jimin starting to lead ahead and Hobi maintaining that lead. Yoongi (he's insanely fast btw) increased the gap and by the time Jungkook started running he was practically a whole lap ahead 😭
I think we can all say that we don’t need to understand Portuguese to get emotional witnessing a Korean father living in Brazil cry as soon as he recognized the most beloved song of Korea🥺😭

I’ve said this before but Jungkook getting a Doberman and treating him like a golden retriever is so Jungkook. This guy loves cool-guy things—motorcycles, tattoos, sexy songs—but he’s so obviously sweet and pure-hearted that none of that makes him intimidating or hard. So he gets a Doberman but, instead of clipping his tail and ears and training him to be on guard and unapproachable, he leaves his floppy ears and happy tail and kisses and nuzzles and baby-talks him. A cool-guy dog turned into something endearing and sweet bc his heart is too warm and kind to really fit the aesthetic image he likes. It’s so Jungkook. 🥺
during that live, joon said he wished the members could speak more english so they could share conversations during interviews. and yesterday yoongi worked so hard to do just that. it stayed with me– because sometimes, the quietest proof of love is simply trying for each other.
이틀 전 라이브로 많은 아미들 피로하게 해드린 것 같아 죄송합니다.
I think I may have emotionally drained a lot of ARMY with my live 2 days ago. I am really sorry.
걱정해주시는 연락 많이 받았습니다..
I received so many messages from people who were worried about me..
키지 말 걸 후회되는데 그냥 답답한 마음이 앞섰습니다 미안합니다 ㅠ
I regret turning it on, but my bottled-up feelings just came out in that moment. I am sorry ㅠ
조금만 예쁘게 봐주십쇼.
Please be a little kind to me.
음악이나 만들고 같이 안무 연습 열심히 하고 새 컨텐츠 고민이나 하고 잘 자고 그러고 살겠습니다.
I will make music, practice choreography hard with everyone, think about new content, sleep well, and live like that.

무섭습니다(사고 안 났습니다).
It was scary (but I did not get into an accident).
그리고 어제는 석류의 빛깔 영화를 봤고
And yesterday I watched the film The Color of Pomegranates,
집 인테리어가 다 끝나서 곧 반년만에 다시 집으로 들어갑니다.
and now that my home interior is all finished, I will soon be moving back home for the first time in about half a year.
나중에 다 꾸미고 소개할게요.
Once everything is fully set up, I will show it to you later.
눈오리 만들려고 집게 꺼냈는데 다 녹아버렸습니다.
I took out the tongs to try to make a snow duck, but everything had already melted.
너무 추운데 따시게 입으시고 감기 걸리시면 안됩니당.
It is so cold, so please dress warmly and do not catch a cold, okay (said cutely)
그럼 이만 !
That is all for now!
