just more of an opinion-based question but if the members weren't in bangtan, where do you think they'd be now? or at least in your imagination haha i remember reading a total au fic and jungkook was an korea's first olympic badminton gold medalist vs.tae working in the local pet shop vs. jin being a model/actor
Iām stealing this question, Admin Y, I couldnāt resist n_nĀ
Suga is the easiest one for me to pinpoint. I think heād work in the music industry no matter what, and if he hadnāt the chance to rap then heād make a pretty bomb composer and producer. The boy already loves his Cubase software and mixing boards, and heās going to be heard with his music, one way or another.
Similarly, Rap Mon wouldnāt stray far from the industry either, but if it wasnāt for Bangtan, I think heād stay with his old rap crew and make it big in the underground, like holding packed performances in dingy clubs and collaborating with some up and coming talent. And in his spare time, heād run a popular hip hop blog recommending indie r&b and playing the music critic.Ā
JinĀ gives off such a mellow, unassuming air that if he wasnāt casted that day by Big Hit, heād probably bypass the industry altogether. I see him attending university and supporting himself with minor side modeling gigs, stuff that gets him on magazine catalogs and TV spots and makes him a pretty penny until heās graduated and opened a little chicken restaurant that quickly expands because all his customers are school girls who bring in his old pictorials for him to sign and take secret snapshots of him when heās working behind the grill.Ā
J-HopeĀ is so kind and patient that heād work well with teenagers as a dance instructor of a preforming arts school. Heād beĀ that teacher all the kids really admire and work hard to impress, the one who treats all his students like friends and goes above and beyond if one of his kids is having a rough time in school or at home, like taking them out for a meal to cheer them up or working overtime to hold extra practices for struggling students.Ā
JiminĀ strikes me as the one to go academic. Not necessarily that heās the smartest one of the group (not when Namjoon is your teammate), but Jimin himself is so hard working and responsible that he wouldnāt sweat it to earn his math degree and become an accountant or lab analyst at a respected firm. I can see him in his smart crisp work shirt and glasses, still flirting shamelessly with the cute female employees who sit near his desk.Ā
Honestly, I can see VĀ doing anything and everything. He just needs a job that lets him interact with people in a fun, easygoing environment, and I think heād make an excellent, supremely eccentric photographer who works part time for major fashion magazines and charms the models with his quirky humor and carefree approach to work. Heād have such a enigmatic image in the fashion industry, but really in his off hours heād help out at his friendās cat cafe and also sometimes substitute in hip hop dance classes when Hoseok is feeling under the weather.Ā
JungkookĀ would graduate art school and quickly gain public recognition for his graffiti-inspired canvases, becoming the countryās most promising graphic designer after getting picked up by a major streetwear company to revamp the brand at the young age of twenty-one. Heād hang around Hongdae (undercover, of course, as heās famous around these parts) and frequent the local tattoo parlors for another addition to his body art and as inspiration for his next gallery series. Occasionally, heād work stints as art director for small-scale labels and indie artists.Ā
That was really fun and this is really long. Thanks for the question!Ā
Sidenote:Ā This is why I adore Admin A. Her writing just makes you feel like it's all so true and all the little details bring her wonderful stories to life. I honestly think she should become a writer, but that's just my opinion. Well anyway, this is my new favorite of your wonderful collections and I love that not everyone is what I expected them to be, but they're still true to the members in every sense <3
