Here's Some Taehyung's Work That You Must Listen To When You Can! Lyrics Translation: Genius.com . .

Park Jimin describes himself as, " cutie, sexy, lovely". He says this with all the confidence of a man that knows and loves who he has become. But, this self confidence is the result of a hard fought battle within himself.

We will speak of Jimin today, as to how he's grown from someone, who was battered by the pressures of an idol, to a stronger member of BTS. His personal struggle speaks directly to our message all week.

Loving himself became vital for our Chimmy to learn. The ways he's blossomed since he has taken this path are powerful to see.

Most people that have seen Bangtan's debut, are aware that Jimin took center stage. But not everyone knows that he took on the challenge of showing his abs. All seven menbers were requested to do so, but couldn't get it together. This was a hard thing for a very private young man to do. He was embarrassed to be showing his stomach. But, he diligently took on the task of bringing attention to BTS, right away. Anyone that has watched their debut video, can see the results of his dedication and very hard work. Since he'd been a trainee less than a year, and was questionable to debut right to the end, the pressure to achieve this task, was tough on him.

Fast forward a year or so, and Jimin still has an amazing build, but the baby fat has yet to fade from the youngster's face. This bothers him because there are comments of him being "fat". Also, since he was the shortest, his height begins to become a constant joke among the members. This translates, naturally, to fandom too. But, what is cute teasing from friends and fans, becomes fodder for those interested in making him feel bad. And use it, they do. To the point that he feels so badly about his appearance, he begins a drastic diet, that he stayed on for a year. As in all else, he's very diligent in this as well, to the point of making himself sick. The members take notice and become concerned that his self- esteem is not recovering from the attack from the nonsensical haters.

Luckily, there were, and are, six brothers with him, to repeatedly let him know that he is, in fact, enough. Weird enough to see, in the industry they're in. But, he still needed to be able to love himself. Thankfully, the catharsis came to him. He hasn't revealed that particular process, but he did tell us that army helped him realize how he really is loved by us all.

The transformation has been simply breathtaking. Jimin's stage presence is powerful. His dancing is still brilliant, as always. We can see the happiness in his eyes, and the love shining out from him, back to ARMY and his Bangtan family.

Whatever he's done, we support it. And honestly wouldn't mind learning the secret *wink, wink*.

Jimin you beyond nice! Keep going!!

We applaud BTS for their ongoing partnership with UNICEF to help children and young adults of our world.

Sharing Time

Once upon a time...

We've all heard that magical line. It usually started a fairy tale. It would take us to a wonderful place in a fantasy world.

Stories, we still love them.

Let's imagine we are entering the Magic Shop. We don't really know what we will find. We've never been here before. It's all so very exciting and new. We have entered the world of BTS. This is the beginning of ARMY'S story..........your story. A love story for sure.

We want to hear your story. Don't be shy. Every one's relationship with BTS is a story to be told. Some fell in love with the first song. Some fell in love with the first video. With some, it just took awhile. But, eventually love was inevitable.

This is my story. My journey with BTS was gradual. I didn't know I was going to land down the rabbit hole. I just thought I was listening to new music. It started back in 2011. My very sweet Granddaughter started asking, "Can I listen to KPop?" Me:  "HUH?... What's that? (yes, I'm a noona ARMY) She wasn't into BTS, at first, because she thought they were too young. ( She's the same age as V and Jimin) By the time they debuted, we had been listening to KPop for awhile. We traveled from Arkansas to NYC to attend a KCon. BTS was there but she missed the fan meeting. (Something she regrets to this day) I was still,  just along for the ride. I didn't really know much about them at this time. ( OK, I now, regret not seeing them too😟)  BTS was still very new. My daughter and Granddaughter were both becoming fans. Me? I started listening closer to their music, watching some music videos. Yes, they were very cute. I couldn't tell them apart. Seven members in one group!?..... Isn't that a lot? WOW!! Could they dance!!

Fast forward to 2018, we all have traveled to  Chicago to see them in concert.  Me, just going for the fun of the trip. By now, I know their names. I have a favorite member; well,  maybe two.

I am playing their music on my Alexia speaker. ( Alexia is learning about BTS too😅😂🤣)

When my Granddaughter gets to go to a soundcheck, I'm kinda jealous. I vow that the next time they come to the states I'm going to see them. I can now identify each member by their smiles or eyes. I'm falling HARD. I LOVE IDOL!!! OMG, can I really be in love with seven young men from South Korea?

I will admit that I'm obsessed. I'm living in the rabbit hole of BTS and very, very happy. They make me happy, their music, their beautiful souls,their love for ARMY.

BTS, how do I love thee?

Let me count the ways. (Well, there are too many)

I'll have to leave those for another day 💜

PS.

Oh yes, I saw them four times of the six concerts, in the USA, this year. Still wanting more.......

Please, share with us your story, we're listening...      🌜🦎

When you talk of Jimin, there are a lot of things to say.

One of the biggest is how wonderful his solo song, "Promise", is.

He wrote it with alot of time and effort, as he does most things. When you get a chance, check it out on Spotify!

"Everybody say NO..."

Dear A.R.M.Y., today we have something a little more serious to talk about. And it's a delicate subject. But one that we think really has to be addressed, not only for our boys, but the long term ramifications, as well.

While we want to always be grateful for any accolades BTS is given, the process being used by MTv this year is not actually an accolade but a segregation. It's xenophobia or at its base, racism. Those are strong words to be used at any time, but it really is the basis of what MTV has done by creating a "kpop" category. And this is the only way they'll award Korean groups?

BTS stands for the exact opposite of what MTv is doing with this category. BTS and ARMY are about breaking down barriers, overcoming prejudices. South Korean President Moon Jae In said, "At the very heart of BTS' outstanding dancing and singing is sincerity. This magical power turns grief into hope and differences into similarity. Each of the seven members sings in a way that is true to himself and the life he wants to live. Their melody and lyrics transcend regional borders, language, culture, and institutions." If only MTv could understand. They are merely a tv channel, that is discriminating against an entire population, again. Whether at the behest of advertisers or corporate heads, it's not important. What is important is that hopefully, we can let them know this was never ok.

This may all sound a bit grandiose, but if you look around, we're fighting battles for equality and humanity all over the world. And one way to silence these voices is to silence BTS. ARMY, we've done it until now and we'll continue to stand with them and fight for each others' dreams.

Write to MTv. Maybe it's a short, appropriate tweet on twitter, a letter to them, or an email, let's voice this. Let them know our disagreement with what they're perpetuating. This is not okay in one country, or one awards show. Meanwhile, we're watching for other ways to speak out against acknowledging these awards in any way. A surefire bet to "help them change their minds" is voting overwhelmingly for BTS's nominations in all categories (as always). But PLEASE don't watch the actual show. Those ratings are what they actually want, so even pass it along to your friends how they could help. Let's not let this happen on our watch, Army!

Let us know if there any other good options you've seen, please. And we'll definitely pass it along.
