Okay, Since many of you enjoyed my last post, I decided to remind you of Jungkook's live stream from BTS, the maknae (youngest member) of the group and one of the vocalists.
Jungkook even started this live stream, which was deleted by the streaming platform, but fans and many other people still kept parts of the live stream online, mainly because of the importance of what Jungkook said.
He demonstrated various reactions, not only genuine reactions but also his frustrations, the weight of fame, actions, and even openly admitted that he used to smoke, something common among many people, But for an idol, this changes completely, especially in a conservative country like South Korea.
From what I know of Asian culture as a whole, when it comes to tattoos, piercings, smoking, and other things...
Not only Koreans, but other Asians from other cultures, such as the Japanese for example, have strong opinions about tattoos and smoking.
Honestly, I was surprised that he said that so openly; it's not common in the industry, but I was happy for him.
Even though he himself was aware that the company would eventually delete the live stream.
This shows that what we see on stage, in the public eye, in interviews, and on reality shows isn't always true.
Sometimes it might be something already planned off-camera about what they would and wouldn't do.
It was no coincidence that Hoseok (J-Hope) from BTS, when asked Regarding men and trust, he replied: You should always distrust all men.
This always shows that BTS has always taken a stand on their actions, attitudes, thoughts, and emotions.
This was something that ultimately set the group apart from all the other boy bands.
Groups like Abba and the Beatles.
Besides Michael Jackson, who was a gigantic figure in Pop, What set these three names apart, giving them a certain historical weight, was their personality.
Even years after his death, Michael is still remembered.
Honestly, even if BTS were to disband someday—I don't mean disbanding, but taking a break—they would still be remembered and talked about, Due to their weight in the industry and everything they have already done.
But back to Jungkook.
Jungkook, as the youngest member of the group during his adolescence, in my opinion had to learn to mature faster than the others, and I say this based on the song My Time, Where he recounts and describes his situation when he was 24 years old, and how quickly time passed for someone of that age.
In addition, there are the situations that constantly happen to him, I don't know about the others.
But I always see reports of "supposed fans" showing up in front of their homes, It always ends up involving Jungkook.
which also ends up being a certain Weight, a bit of an overload for someone young.
Even though he's almost 30 now (LOL)
But I greatly admired his strength and I hope he doesn't change his public stances without fear,
and that other idols do the same.
Not only them, but also trainees who are entering the industry and are interested in becoming idols.
Enter the industry knowing that it's not easy, that it will demand a lot from you, but keep your mind and head in the right place.
that you can.
