BTS’ Burn The Stage

I want you guys to be prepared

because this won’t be a beautiful, fun and happy reality

this will show us the real BTS

This is the reality that we don’t see and this is probably going to destroy us mentally but i ask you to support them as much as you can

it may not be easy to show us all this personal stuff but they will do it

so please, do not let them down because of what they will show you

They will show the arguments, faints, how hard they are on themselves, them working hard, too hard and this will not be easy

i personally can’t be okay thinking about all of this, having them tired 24/7, even fainting from exhaustion

but i’ve never let them down so i won’t do it now

we will be fucked, yes, but somehow we need to know how they really live and know about their struggles

they are still humans after all

and we need to show them all the love and all the support we can because these 7 guys there deserve all of it, and they will need it more after this

[koreanwithbangtan]

This is important not just because people can forget the “negative” side of things but because it will show things that well make us hurt. We all feel for our boys and we don’t like seeing them hurt but sometimes I think we need a reminded for everything they are going through to get  where they are as well to show us a brighter image.

NOTE: I don’t use “negative” as in ‘bad,’ but I use it in more of a way of the opposite of what we usually see. The opposite of the happy, laughing, smiling boys we see on Run!BTS, Bon Voyage, and other shows like that.

Everything (You’re my)

제발 좀 꺼져 huh 제발 (je bal) – Please (sometimes you might see this translated as ‘for goodness sake’ or ‘for the love of God’ but according to one of my friends, this is just because of the emphasis of the word ‘please.’) 좀 (jom) – a little (but in this case it is used to soften the “force” of the utterance” 꺼져 (kkeo jyeo) – 꺼지다: to go out, to extinguish; to fade away; to fall in, to cave in; (often times simply translated as ‘scram,’ ‘beat it,’ or ‘get lost’); How I unofficially think about it: the state of ceasing to be/exist (inanimate things) Literal Trans.: Please go away huh Simple Trans.: Please go away huh

Let’s Try This Again

I’ve been gone for like a year and I have no excuse......

But I really don’t want to let this blog die.... So, despite school, thesis work, social life, and being lazy, I’m going to put in extra effort in order to keep this alive!

Someone please motivate me to write up the Breakdowns that I have planned!

Also, you may or may not have noticed that I reworked the format and went through and deleted a bunch of random posts (spring winter cleaning!)

It’s already February but I’m going to restart this blog effective NOW!

So apparently, Jimin was spotted with pink hair (I think at the new MV filming). But, even in the 2017 Global V Love Top 10 broadcast, you can see his pink hair peeking out from under his hat (those sideburns are such a cute shade of pink) I know it's a little hard to see in this picture but watch the video again and you'll see it better.

Jin’s Dad Jokes Masterlist

☞ Do not repost & screencap. Do not re-translate into any language. ☞ In celebration of BTS’ awards at 31st Golden Disk Awards. ☞ Stan Jin’s dad jokes. Stan BTS.

(last updated: 28.01.2017)

☠️ 1. - 깨가 죽으면 뭔 줄 알니? - 주근깨. 

- What is it called when a sesame is dead? - Freckles. 

“Freckles” (주근깨 ju-keun-kkae) is pronounced the same as “dead sesame” (죽은 깨 juk-eun kkae). 

🍔 2. - 햄버거가 무슨 색인 줄 알니? - 버건디. 

- What color is the hamburger? - Burgundy. 

“Burger” when joined with the letter “n” becomes “burgern”, which is pronounced the same as “burgun” in “burgundy”. 

🍓 3. - 딸끼가 도망가면 뭔 줄 알니? - 딸기잼. 

- What is it called when a strawberry runs? - Strawberry jam. 

“Jam” is written as “잼” (jaem) in Korean. “재다” (jae-da) means “fast”, while “잼” can also mean the adjective “재다” is added an “ㅁ” to it, turning “재다” into a noun “잼” (rough meaning: the state of being fast). So “딸기잼” (ddalki-jam / strawberry jam) can be understood as “the strawberry is fast”. 

🍤 4. - 물이 있어요. 이 물들이 갑자기 흩어졌어. 그럼 무엇일까? - 해산물. 

- There’s water. The water then suddenly dispersed. What is it called? - Seafood. 

“Seafood” is “해산물” (hae-san-mul) in Korean. “해산” (hae-san) means “dispersal” and “물” (mul) means “water”. So “해산물” literally means “dispersed water”. 

🍜 5. - 라면이 프랑스 가면 왜 싫어하는 줄 아십니까? - 다 불어 써서. 

- Why do the noodles hate going to France? - Because they all use French. 

“Use French” is “불어 써서” (bul-eo sseo-seo) in Korean, “불어” (bul-eo) means “French” and “써서” (sseo-seo) is the conjugated version of the verb “쓰다” (sseu-da / use) with the 아/어서 grammar (indicating the reason of an action/a situation). “불어 써서” is pronounced similar to “불었었서” (bul-eoss-eoss-seo, read as: bul-leot-sseot-seo), which is the verb “붇다” (but-da / swell up, be bloated) with 았었/었었 grammar (double past tense, indicating an action is done in the past and is no longer relevant to the present). Combined, we have “불었었어”, meaning “(the noodles are) bloated". 

👶 6. - 신이 아이를 낳아면 뭔 줄 아십니까? - 갓 난 아이. 

- What is it called when a god gives birth to a child. - An infant. 

“Infant” is “갓난아이” (gat-nan-a-i) in Korean. “갓” (gat) means “god”, “난” (nan) is the verb “나다” (na-da / come out) used with modifier ㄴ for adjectives, and “아이” (a-i) means “baby”. 

😺 7. - 고양이 물로 만들면 뭔 줄 아십니까? - 물로켓. 

- What is a cat made from water called? - Water rocket.  

“Water rocket” is “물로켓” (mul-ro-ket) in Korean. “물” (mul) means “water” and “로켓” (ro-ket) means “rocket”. When analyzed in a different way, “물로켓” can be separated into “물”, “로” and “켓”. “로” (ro) indicates something is used as material, and “켓” (ket) is read similar to “cat” in English. In that sense, “물로켓” means “a cat made from water.” 

🐰 8. - 3월에 대학생들이 강한 이유는? - 개강해서. 

- Why are college students strong in March? - Because it’s the beginning of a new term. 

“개강해서” (gae-gang-hae-seo) is the verb “개강하다” (gae-gang-ha-da / a new term begins) with 아/어서 grammar (indicating the reason of an action/a situation). “개강해서” is read the same as “개 강해서” (gae gang-hae-seo), which is the word “개” (gae / used in slangs, meaning “frigging”, “so”, “really”) and “강하다” (gang-ha-da / strong) with 아/어서 grammar. “개 강해서” means “because they are frigging strong”. 

🔊 9. 오디오 있는 곳이 어디어. 

Where is the place that has audio? 

“Where” is “어디어” (eo-di-eo) and is pronounced similar to “audio” (오디오 o-di-o) in Korean. 

🐶 10. - 개가 벽 보고 뭐라고 하는 줄 아십니까? - 월월. 

- What does the dog say when it sees a wall? - Wol-wol. 

“월월” (wol-wol) is the “woof-woof” sound a dog makes written in Korean. “월” is pronounced similar to “wall” in English. 

🐮 11. - 소가 계단에 올아오면 뭔 줄 아세요? - 소오름. 

- What is it called when a cow goes up the stairs? - Goose~oose bumps. 

“소름” (so-reum) means “goose bumps” in Korean, “소오름” (so-o-reum) is “소름” with the “오” sound lengthened. “소” (so) in “소오름” means “cow”, “오름” (o-reum) is the verb “오르다” (o-reu-da / go up) added a ㅁ to it, turning “오르다” into the noun “오름” (the act of going up). So “소오름” can be understood as “a cow going up”. 

🐂 12. - 소가 전쟁을 하면 뭔 줄 아세요? - 워메워메. 

- What is a cow going into a war called? - War-me war-me. 

“워메워메” (wo-me wo-me) is the sound a cow makes written in Korean. “워” has the same pronunciation as “war” in English. 

⭐️ 13. - 징을 놀랍도록 세게 치면 무엇인지 아세요? - 어메이징. 

- What is it called when a jing is hit hard? - Ama-jing. 

“징” (jing) is a large gong used in traditional Korean music. “어메이징” (eo-me-i-jing) is “amazing” written in Korean. 

🦐 14. 이 바닷가재가 어제 나한데 바다 가재. 

Yesterday this lobster asked me to go to the sea with it. 

“Lobster” (바닷가재 ba-dat-ga-jae) has similar pronunciation to “ask (me) to go to the sea with it” (바다 가재 ba-da ga-jae). “바다” (ba-da) means “sea”, while “가재” (ga-jae) is the shortened form of “가자고 해” (ga-ja-go hae, unconjugated: 가자고 하다 ga-ja-go ha-da), meaning “ask someone to go”. 

🐻 15. 문을 뒤집으면 곰. 

A door upside down is a bear. 

In Korean, “door” is “문” (mun) and “bear” is “곰” (gom). Flip it upside down. 

👊 16. - 손가락은 영어로 핑거잖아요. 그럼 주먹인 뭐예요? - 오므린거.

- A finger is “finger” in English. Then what is a fist? - Omeuringer. 

“Omeuringer” is written as “오므린거” (o-meu-rin-geo) in Korean. The verb “오므리다” (o-meu-ri-da) means “clench (hands)”, combining with modifier ㄴ and “거” (geo) (the thing / the action), we have “오므린거”, which means “the action of clenching (hands)”. 

☝️ 17. - 강아지가 한 마리만 있는 나라가 뭔 줄 알아? - 독일. 

- Which country only has one dog? - Germany. 

Germany is “독일” (dog-il) in Korean. The Romanization of “독” is “dog” and “일” (il) means “one”.

👅 18. - 소가 웃으면 뭔 줄 아세요? - 우하하. 

- What is it called when a cow laughs? - Uhaha.

🔥 19. - 뱀이 불 타면 뭔 줄 알아요? - 뱀파이어. 

- What is a snake on fire? - Vamfire. 

In Korean, “vampire” is written as “뱀파이어” (baem-pa-i-eo). “뱀파이어” is “뱀” (baem), which means “snake”, and “파이어” (pa-i-eo / fire). The ㅍ sound can be pronounced as “p” or “f”, the ㅂ sound can be pronounced as “b” or “v”. 

❄️ 20. - 오리가 얼면? - 언덕. 

- What is it called when we freeze a duck? - A slope. 

“Slope” is “언덕” (eon-deok) in Korean. “언” (eon) is the verb “얼다” (eol-da / freeze) combined with modifer ㄴ, and “덕” (deok) is pronounced the same as “duck” in English. So “언덕” can be understood as “a frozen duck”.

🦌 21. - 사슴이 눈이 좋으면 뭔지 아세요? - 굿아이디어.

“Good idea” is pronounced the same as “good eye deer”.
