I’m really proud of this translation.

Korean Language is fascinating.

Today I just realised that both Ravi and Hongbin are in a very comfortable hyung-dongsaeng relationship with Ken. I mean, they’re all in a comfortable relationship with each other since Hyuk as the youngest can even talk in banmal to his eldest hyungs (N and Leo) but I feel like Ravi-Hongbin’s relationship with Ken is on another level of comfortable entirely.

Previously, I never noticed this but it turns out that Ravi and Hongbin sometimes call Ken as ‘Jaehwan-ah’ instead of ‘Jaehwan hyung’ and they also address Ken directly using the word ‘you’ (너) when they talk to him instead of ‘hyung’. In general, this is an extremely rude thing to do, even if you’re already in a banmal-basis with the older person, UNLESS the older person literally said that it’s okay with them. The older person usually would only say that it’s okay if they either grew up outside South Korea, like in the USA for example, and/or just super close with the younger person. Considering how all three of them were born and raised in SK, this is how I concluded that they are just super comfortable with each other.

Here’s a bit of explanation about the usage of ‘you’ (너) in Korean. For example, if you’re someone who is younger, even though you’re already in banmal-basis with the person you’re talking to, you’re still supposed to say, ‘What is HYUNG doing?’ (형 뭐해?) instead of ‘What are YOU doing?’ (너 뭐해?) when talking directly to the person because that’s just how speech levels work in Korean. Because the word ‘you’ (너) is only supposed to be used when you’re talking to someone who is the same-age as you OR younger.

So the fact that they both can do it to Ken with Ken not getting offended by it shows that they’re super comfortable with each other. I mean, as much as they teased N and Leo, they still don’t dare to do this to either of them. (Granted, there are three years between N-Leo with Ravi-Hongbin while Ken is only a year older than them.)

I’m… fascinated by this.

(I’m also fascinated by the fact that in Korean language, just by observing speech levels between a group of people you can kinda gauge and judge about their relationship with each other. And you can also see a little bit about their personality in the way they use the language.)

Heyho. After almost two years, I finally logged back in to this account. Oh my.

Interesting; I didn't know this was a thing.

It’s apparently a thing, but it’s a very new thing, so it may need some help being known.

Hongbin’s 210101 TGD post:

“Happy new year.

I have no place to use my (new year’s) blessings here, so I’m just gonna use it to wish you all blessings in this new year LoL.

I cannot remember anything else other than COVID19 in the year 2020, huh.

I hope 2021 will be the year where COVID19 will go down, where you can blow off the steam from the things you’re frustrated of, where you can achieve everything you wish for.

What about me? Haha. Well of course I’ll just greet you again with the same thing in 2022. Fufufufu...

Fufufu... Fu... Well everyone, I hope you eat lots of good food and enjoy your new year~! Fufufu... LoL.”

I think it’s incredibly telling that I have to reuse the header from previous year, because what a year. Or century. Decade, at the very least. But I have been trying to maintain at least few of my birthday traditions and I do not wish to skip out on sharing some love as I step into my 27th life year today and end of 2020 approaches.

There are many blogs and people who’ve made this year warmer, kinder, just more bearable, brought laugh to me and posts to share to my friends so they, too, could laugh.

Thank you for all that and more, from bottom of my heart. In the upcoming year, I wish you happiness and peace, success and new dreams to strive for, I wish for you to always remember to be kind to yourself and to know you’re not alone.

I am sorry if I miss someone! I tried to make the list and check it twice, but I am just a messy little blogger, not Santa.

I’ve bolded people that have actually have had to put up with me in conversations and done it with enduring grace (or I just super admire you/love your content)! I love all of you.

(Some blogs from my previous follow forever are gone and deleted and I hope these people are doing well. You are not forgotten, there’s just nothing to link to anymore, sadly.)
