Jin’s video titled “Me, Myself, and Jin ‘Sea of JIN island’ Production Film” and has nothing to do with his photo folio LMAO... BUT WHY DID IT TAKE SO LONG FOR US TO SEE THIS BEHIND OF THE CREATION OF SUPER TUNA????? CHAMCHI!
Dreamers music video... a tad cheesy but visually stunning, the opening was very opulent and sparkly. JK, his sweet, adorable self, looked awesome all the way down to his stompy Prada boots. His portions of the video included much diversity and inclusion. Flags from all nations. People of all nationalities. Women at the forefront. All invited. JK dancing through the streets gathering the peoples of the world behind him in a convoy of togetherness.
Mr. Fahad’s portions, very representative of his culture I suppose. He seemed very isolated on his ship with his dancing crew. I understand that in his culture, it was believed that the earth rests on the back of a whale so perhaps that’s where the whale shark comes in the picture. He had a scene where it appeared to be snowing? Or was that hell freezing over? I was confused...anyway. Moving on before I say too much because I’m too ignorant about it.
This is strictly my opinion... I love sparkly things and all but because I already have prejudices involving this entire event I can’t fully endorse the music video, glittery palaces and pearl encrusted whale sharks notwithstanding. That’s just my gut feeling (minus a gallbladder at that). I need more input from Jungkook and hopefully in the future we may get some behind the scenes or something where he can speak a little bit about his degree of involvement and not just what he said during the WeLive he did right after the opening ceremony.
Indigo... I feel like I am going to have the entire album on repeat for a long time. Again, just my opinion off the top of my fool head: Joon... inadvertently or on purpose... going for the critical accolades and less for the popularity award but we’ll see (he may very well score highly in both aspects). Actually, he doesn’t give a shit about any kind of award, as he should. I feel like some or all of this album will get Grammy nods next year. Have not heard one note from it yet either. That’s some kind of wild (and maybe unfair) expectation isn’t it? Yoongi, Jimin, Tae and JK are gonna have to really bring it. Let’s not count out Jin’s The Astronaut as perhaps a collab nod next year. I am sure I will have a lot to say after Indigo drops next week.
Bangtan Episode: Hobipalooza... it’s how emotional I get when the members go onstage for their solos... did the same for Jin in Argentina.... so, so incredibly proud of them and to see them being so humble in these behind the scenes.
Just when I think “well that’s a wrap” on whichever member’s work, they drop something else on us. Which is great because one year after Super Tuna and five months after Hobipalooza we are still getting to see more and more. That means we might still get to see things like this for Indigo next year or a year from now... and we still have Yoongi, Jimin, Tae’s solo work and possibly more behinds from Jungkook’s Dreamers work and anything else he may be working on. I was a little worried about a dry spell in 2024 but maybe it won’t be bone dry. Hoping and fighting!
One more thing... who the heck’s kitchen is this?
