BTS Begins Teasers Predict Jin’s Story Line?

So is no one gonna talk about how BigHit hinted at a possible Jin centered story line 6 MONTHS AGO??!?

This is just like how they painted some random characters onto Jimin’s chest during the MAMA awards last year and we didn’t think anything of it until the album intro came out 4 months later, revealing it was actually the name of the new album.

The. Same. Exact. Thing.

I’m pretty sure everyone noticed when the teaser images for BTS’ 2nd concert ‘BTS BEGINS’ were posted that one of them definitely stood out.

But come on guys, even AllKpop gave us a super obvious sign that it was of some kind of importance or that it would at least be relevant at one point.

Jin clearly sticks out. He isn’t smiling, and he isn’t holding anything that would serve as any kind of happiness besides a jar of pills. All the others are holding something that they like. Yoongi loves basketball, Hoseok collects those figurines, Namjoon was, and still is, a bookworm, Jimin used to box, Taehyung loves anime and video games, and JungKook has always loved art.

 So how does Jin’s photo make any sense?

I still don’t know, because the only one that relates to pills is Hoseok during the I Need U.

But do the pills look familiar at all to you? I didn’t catch it at first, but as I was looking through their past music videos, it hit me in the face.

Remember these?

The same pills they took in the N.O. music video.

The bottle isn’t the exact same though. In N.O. it’s a little smaller than in the photo of Jin. But they have nearly the same lids as you can see by him holding it in his palm.

The photos for BTS BEGINS were released in March. 

March.

The announcement for ‘The Most Beautiful Moment In Love Pt. 1′ didn’t come out until a month later towards the very beginning of April.

They knew everything was going to be centered around Jin literally half a year ago, placing subtle hints within their promotions like none of us were gonna notice it.

I’m watching you BigHit.

Oh and btw if any of you were curious about the markings you can see on JungKook’s arm and Jimin’s wrist in the photos at the top, it says “B0612+JKS”. the 0612 is a reference to their debut date; June, 12. And the ‘+JKS’ is different for each member, they all have their stage name initials, not their real names (not counting JungKook or Jimin of course since neither of them use stage names.)

There are:

B0612+JMS (Jimin)

B0612+JS (Jin)

B0612+JKS (JungKook)

B0612+SS (Yoongi)

B0612+RMS (Namjoon)

B0612+VS (Taehyung)

B0612+JHS (Hoseok)

Now what the hell do the other letters stand for? Lemme bold them for you:

B0612+JMS

See it? 

B+S = BTS

Yeah I figured that out too, get on my level BigHit.

150906 Jin’s Blog Post - Jin makes food after a long time: Smoked Ugly Duckling chapter

We’re going with a smoked duck we ate in the dorms that we don’t even know when was made and some seasoned chives 

A duck is smoked. It’s a food that’s cheap and will be finished just by heating it up

This is the old kitchen we can’t see anymore since we moved Get out of my sight

Sand eel fish sauce I really received from the owner of the restaurant in front of my house

Galaxy s4 that disappeared after a half-body bath in water… Now that I’ve used the ice cream phone, tonight I begin to miss you. Come back galaxy

?? Why am I laughing? It’s been so long since the picture was taken that I don’t remember

Doing this and that, it’s plausible for you to make marinated chives

Look at my arm muscles, girls will probably fall for me

?????????????? Jimin took some really detailed pictures for me

An alpaca eating grass

An alpaca acting handsome while eating grass 2

The chives are done after mixing them with your hands

Why are you smiling? I’m in a bad mood now You’ve been following along well until now, right? It’s super easy There’s not even anything to follow, but…

As expected, cooking is smoked food

Why…? This seems like it was some months ago what’s the reason my body look so much better? I’m even handsome too

My mom always told me when I was young, “you’re handsome, you’re handsome” It really seems like my mom wasn’t wrong once. Mom’s words are the truth.

It’s nice that my face is handsome but the omelette as expected is a cheese omelette. Don’t be stingy with your cheese. Splash splash let’s just throw some cheese, so Rapmon won’t know let’s throw cheese

Ah, so this is why the kids lean on me and sleep

The first dish my dad made for me was an omelette. When I was in elementary school I probably made it for my dad as a drinking snack. I have a memory of how proud he was and how he gave me an allowance of 10,000 won (~$10) That’s probably why I have memories of just making omelettes over and over I wonder if it was since then… that my father stopped eating omelettes…

I don’t know what this is but I think it was a concept of cooking with both hands. Now that a few months have past I do wonder why I did that…

The biggest bowl is some kind of pot/jar… I’m in the middle of decorating so it looks nice

You said the bowl looks like it’s slanting? You just saw it This picture is just before it flipped over Yes. It slanted and fell right over That’s probably why I remember lost my affection and didn’t post it The picture suddenly reminds me of the children’s book “The Ugly Duckling”

I want to say this is visually appealing because it’s made by the handsome Kim Seokjin, but to be honest it’s just okay It doesn’t really pull at your appetite

Bald super mario

Cooking is smoked food Dip it in some mustard sauce and eat it Seasoned chives are delicious but they’re more bothersome than I thought

The time when I didn’t know I’d be posting Eat Jin… Kim Seokjin working very hard eating to show in the picture how good it was

Who is the owner of that hand? The people who guess it right are our true armies Tonight we’re all eating smoked duck for dinner

It looks like lasers are coming from my eyes…

It’s been a few months since I wrote a post.. It’s hard It was really fun but it’s a shame I don’t remember the situation well (sobs) Anyway me from a few months ago was really good-looking I think I did a diet for a few months but my body looks so much better than now… My face was handsome too and it’s been a while since I looked in the mirror and lost confidence. But you are me. So don’t disregard NONO

Handsome Kim Seokjin, the end

AS A KOREAN, THE DANGERS OF MISTRANSLATING “BLACK”

First of all, I would like to start off by giving myself a little credit. I was born in America and am fluent in English. Both my parents were born and raised in Korea, and I lived there for almost eight years before moving back to America. I am also fluent in Korean. I pride myself a little bit in my very clear understanding of both cultures, and would like to explain to anyone who wants to listen, what this ongoing debate about the Korean usage of the word “black” has been.

In America, the word “black” has many meanings. Of them, there are two predominantly popular uses. One of the uses is “black” as in the color black as opposed to blue or white or yellow. In Korean, this word is gum jong saek. The other definition is “black” as in pertaining or belonging to any of the various populations characterized by dark skin pigmentation, specifically the dark-skinned peoples of Africa, Oceania, and Australia (dictionary.com). In this case, the word would be used as a slang term for a racial identifier. In Korean, this word is heu-gin

Now moving on to the usage of the word “black” in Korean. There are three ways to say black in Korean. One way refers to specifically and exclusively the racial identifier: heu-gin. Unlike the English word, the Korean word for “black” referring to race does not have dual meaning. I REPEAT. IT DOES NOT HAVE DUAL MEANING. THE WORD HEU-GIN ONLY REFERS TO RACE. IT DOES NOT MEAN ANYTHING ELSE.

The second word for “black” in Korean has dual meaning. It can mean the shade of black as opposed to yellow, as in that cabinet is painted black. This is one meaning of the word ggamatah.

It’s other meaning of ggamatah is dark, as in “his skin is tan.” Notice, that ggamatah has two meanings whereas heu-gin only has one.

The third way to say “black” in Korean is gum jong saek. This only has one definition. It is black as in the color. Black as in “I wear black shoes,” and “funeral clothes are black”. Now, to review, the word heu-gin only has one meaning-race. Ggamatah has two meanings- tan/dark & color. Gum jong saek only has one meaning-color.

Now, translators do the best they can, and I totally respect them for what they do. Their job is probably very difficult, and most of the time, they do a great job. However, when they translate all of these diverse meanings into one word, it confuses the reader. All three of the words ggamatah, gum jong saek and heu-gin are translated into English as “black”, and you can see how that would be a problem. 

When rap monster was calling them “too black”, he did not have a detailed enough grasp of the English language to realize that the word “black” in English does not mean the same thing it does in Korean. He said “black” meaning tan, not “black” referring to race.

This is an ongoing joke among idols and general Korean culture because Koreans tend to find pale skin more aesthetically pleasing. It has nothing to do with race. Namjoon makes fun of “black skin” not because he dislikes black people, but because Korean culture dislikes tan skin, regardless of the race of a person. It is the same way that American culture like tan skin, and makes fun of people who cannot get tans, but instead get sunburned.

To clarify, EXO making fun of Kai for his dark skin is as harmless and playful as me making fun of my Irish Biology teacher for not being able to get a tan (he’s so pale, he almost reflects light). He makes fun of himself about it too, and the joking is wholly consensual. Of course, pale skin and dark skin both have separate merits, and every skin type is beautiful. Namjoon’s joke is just a friendly jab at his friend, which is accepted by BTS judging on the laughter it elicited.

Now, does this mean that cultural whitewashing is healthy? Probably not. It’s just another unrealistic expectation of body being distributed by media, but it is no more racist than American media making our celebrities “tan” or “sun kissed”. 

For those of you who thought the other members look offended, I highly doubt that any of them spoke and understood english well enough to understand the difference between “black” in English and “black” in Korean. They laughed because what Namjoon said means something different in Korean than it does in English. In Korean, it is a light joke. Namjoon did not understand that he was saying a racist slur. 

This is a common problem with all translation of the term ggamatah to English. The only way to fix this problem is to create separate words in English that mean ggamatah, heu-gin, and gum jong saek. The confusion arises from the fact that the word “black” has so many meanings, and is thereby confusing in translation.

For anyone who did not know the distinction between heu-gin, gum jong saek and ggamatah, I understand your misunderstanding. It is honestly an easy mistake. I encourage those of you who made it to the end of this insanely long post to share it, to end more misunderstandings about the word. I hope we can be more rational about this in the future!!

Just to end on a light note, I think everyone’s skin is lovely, no matter the color, and I’m sure BTS thinks so too!!! I hope this was helpful!!!!
