As you know, every once in a while I like and need to share some queer stories or news not necessarily related to BTS, like this one, that moved me irreversibly.

For those who don’t know, Park Si Young is the top designer of the Korean film industry . He’s known for designing posters for some of the biggest movies at the box office, and that’s why the ‘news’ - that his coming out turned out to be - is being so widely discussed on the K-side.

I don’t need to add much. I honestly can’t, either. I’m way too emotional at the moment to put something together.

Some parts that I highlighted are the ones that made me truly emotional, but the letter overall is a gift, the gift of a struggle and a beauty that only with something so mundane yet so special can actually coexist without colliding - love.

Love is something you just do, and it’s sad that it can’t be shared. That for some people, its beauty can’t bloom freely. To all the fellow queer people - I hope this reaches you, and I hope you’re happy. You deserve to shine. You deserve to brag about it. You deserve freedom.

I’ll just put here the translation of his words. Thanks to him for sharing.

“I love talking.

I’ve been in love for 15 years. If you strip away age, gender, status—everything—it’s honestly nothing remarkable. But if I just speak from my heart, this feeling hasn’t changed once in those 15 years. I love them so much I feel like I’m going crazy. Seeing that someone like my partner exists in this world makes me think maybe there really is a god after all. For this love, I feel like there’s nothing in the world I couldn’t do. If anyone ever tried to hurt this love, I feel like I could destroy them all. You want me to tone it down?

How can I?

Childish, right? But this childish heart is a burning one.

Anyway, I’m someone who loves to brag, to chatter, to tease—but it makes me a bit sad that I can’t show off my love. It’s the best thing I have, after all. But you know how it is, the moment I reveal it, people turn us into something to gawk at, a spectacle. My partner and I become objects of curiosity, and it feels like something precious I’ve been holding gets taken from my own hands and handed over to strangers, letting them mess with it however they want.

So what am I supposed to do? Today I just can’t hold it in.

As I get older, there are real-world obstacles—legal guardian issues and things like that—that make it harder. But what can I do? If I have money, I’ll just leave and live somewhere else. If it’s possible, I’ll go where I can. If the country won’t protect us, then I’ll just rely on money instead.

It’s not that we can’t get married, we’re not, so maybe it’s not “proper,” but we’ve been in love for 15 years, and honestly, it’s not bad at all. I’m their lover, and I want to be someone they’re proud of. Someone they love. While we’re together, we have to keep our hearts burning. I’m confident—I think even when I’m 70, I’ll still be the most passionate person at that age.

I don’t care about getting permission or understanding for this love. Love is something you just do—what does anyone else’s perspective matter?

I just want to show it off.

Want to see what I have? It’s insanely good. Don’t you think it’s amazing?”

Idk if I'm in the minority or not, but I didn't really like the documentary.

I kinda wish it captured more of the actual making of the album and their interactions with the producers (and by extension their perspectives on working with BTS). I wanted to hear about the behind-the-scenes of basically all of the songs (including no.29) rather than just 2.25 of them. But that's just my opinion I guess.

I also just in general wish BTS didn't feel so much pressure to incorporate english into their music if it stresses them out so much. It seems like that effort could be put to better use elsewhere maybe? And they'd probably feel more confident about the quality of the output in that situation.

This one is kinda just me being greedy maybe, but I also wish some of the cute footage that was just used as b-roll/montage was actually played in full. More footage of the members talking to each other (not necessarily all 7 all the time) rather than in a car alone for example would've also been nice.

Maybe bighit has all this footage saved for something else though? I hope so at least

My first post, but the jikook antis (mainly the "anti shipper/wholesome ot7" types, because I understand the motives behind the others) are bothering me more than usual lately. I just don't understand why the idea of jikook, even as a casual/just for fun ship, is so absurd a concept for some people. I don't understand why some people seem to think that even the bare minimum of suspecting they might actually be dating is degrading to either member? Is being in a relationship that bad? It's obvious that jikook themselves don't care if we think they're dating regardless of whether or not they are, so I don't see the issue here. If anything it's worse too have a strong negative reaction to the possibility, because if they were actually dating, they'd have to see all of this negativity. How do you think that would make them feel?

Sorry i just had to get that off my chest 😔

I know the real answers are probably just A. They don't actually pay that much attention to jm or jk in general, B. They're homophobic, or C. They're like 13/have never been in a long-term relationship
