The thing about Makoto Tachibana...
He’s not talented like Haru or Rin,
nor does he have a bright personality like Nagisa or Gou to make him stand out.
He doesn’t openly express himself like Rei to get himself noticed.
He’s not like other characters.
People don’t notice him, or his problems
because he doesn’t bother showing them.
He’s like the friend who’s always there,
and it’s because of that
that people take him for-granted.
Makoto would willingly give himself up for his friends,
like when they were kids and Makoto left the dolphin keychain to Haru because his best friend wanted it, and he was fine with whatever else was left;
like when he risked it all to save Rei when he was drowning, despite having trauma himself.
Makoto, is actually very much like the most of us.
The little fears he has, like being afraid of ghosts,
or even the fear or drowning, they’re all like us.
The fact that he feels inferior towards Haru and Rin,
feeling like he’ll never match up to them,
I’m sure we’ve been through that…being envious of your friends.
Being afraid of the uncertainty of future,
leaving high school and friends, knowing you can’t keep on following your friends anymore, and that you’ll have to make plans for your own future.
How many people in this world can really match up to Makoto?
Kind, loving, selfless, warm…
And while Makoto sounds perfect,
we know that he has his flaws.
He’s insecure, he’s afraid, he’s not lucky, nor gifted; he’s taken for-granted
and he’s going through what every one of us goes through.
That sense of inferiority that every one of us needs to face in order to be able to move on to do greater things.
And to find a future of our own, even if it’s different than what you hoped it would be.
The thing about Tachibana Makoto…
is that he’s so surreal and so real at the same time.
I guess, to me,
he’s an inspiration,
teaching me to confront everything that’s holding you back
and accept reality as it is.
Talent, gifts, not everybody has them,
but we can do great things too.
There are no big dreams or small dreams,
to dream a dream that makes you happy is good enough.
I’m back!
REPRESENTATION MATTERS.
Representation is SO important.
ARMY really is the “ask and you shall receive” kind of fandom.
Bts: Melon Award
Army: done
Bts: Daesang
Army: check
Bts: billboard award
Army: finito
Bts: “Her”
Army: #1 pre-order on Amazon bbys
Bts: Anticipate the “DNA” mv :)
Army: *files nails* 30 million views in under 48 hours
Bts: Hot 100
Army: *looks up from nails* do you even have to ask anymore?
Bts: go study
Army: lol what
Quokkas are natural models. Many modeling firms prefer to hire Quokkas over human models because their tendency to smile all the time and their payment is only a bag of peanuts.
F*ck Donald Trump and anyone who supports him by Eminem
Witness the truth.
me: *has tons of homework and a test to study for*
me @ myself: *whispers* watch kpop videos and read fanfiction till you’re too tired to function
rebuttals to bighit defenders and jin antis
This so-called “borderline emotional abuse” of calling someone fat is very common in Korea and East Asia as a whole.
Doesn’t mean it still hurts to be called fat. Especially when the standard is to look slim.
This whole business about lines needs to fucking stop. Do you see One Republic fans making a big deal out of “line distribution” because Ryan gets all the “lines”? In fact, I don’t think their fans could give a flying fuck as to how many seconds or how much screen time each member gets on their own instrument.
Um sorry this is one of the worst arguments I’ve seen in my life. 1) The KPop industry and the American music industry are completely different in terms of management and artists (auditioning to be put in a group vs starting off on YouTube) and 2) OneRepublic is a band, BTS is a boyband for lack of better words. You can’t compare the two. Ryan is the lead singer because everyone else has there roles. Jin is a vocalist and visual but he barely gets lines or screen time. You can’t compare the two.
What is line distribution when it comes to how a song sounds? Is Jin really good enough of a dancer to be at the front? Over Jimin, who majored in dance, and Hoseok, who toughed it out in the underground? Jungkook, who can self-teach himself Chris Martin choreographies? Fans might want Jin to get more lines or more dance parts or more screentime or more attention or more respect but this “A+ for effort” “medal of participation” is not going to work if BTS wants to keep going higher.
Please tell me there are two arguments in this. A song sounds different because of line distribution. Have you ever heard the studio version of “Spring Day” compared to the live version where Hobi actually had lines and Jin had more? And how much happier ARMYs were? I didn’t see fans complain about giving Hobi and Jin more lines, so why can’t we get this all the time? Plus Jin is a “good enough dancer.” He’s not the best like Dance Line, but he keeps up with them, and depending on the choreography, he can be really good. I don’t see you trying to learn the choreography plus sing and remember transitions and positions at the same time.
Jin has the most popular VLives
y I K E S fam, you need to go fact check. Jin once wanted to completely cancel EatJin because no one was watching. And um, if you actually look on VLive, Jungkook bY FAR has the most popular VLives and HE’S HAD TWO. One is at 3 million and the other is at 2.7 million.
We have sent nearly abusive hate to BigHit over Seokjin.
Yeah, but here’s the thing: BigHit is a company, an object, while Jin is a human being with feelings.So what if we sent BigHit nearly abusive hate to Seokjin? As a company needing to sell to people, they respond to what consumers want. And as of right now, ARMYs want more of Jin–which makes perfect sense to send in our complaints. ARMYs want more Jin because they want him to have more love–doing our jobs as ARMYs to love him. Plus it’s not like all fans are respectful anyways, so of course there are some “abusive hate.” Or just the fact that Jin and OT7 stans are sick and tired of seeing Jin robbed of his main roles in BTS: vocalist and visual. It seems like he’s the special backup at this point. Copied from my reply to this post)
Logically saying, BigHit will distribute BTS’ lines according to, first, how many people will be pleased if this person receives these lines; and second, the ability of the member in singing/rapping/expressing that line.
If this is the case, Namjoon should have waaaaaay less lines than he does because he’s always voted as the last favorite member. Don’t believe me? Just look at the amount of fancams and views Namjoon has on his focus videos, vlives, lyric videos, and music videos. They’re always less by hundreds of thousands. And Tae should have waaaaaaay more lines because he’s really really popular with the younger audience, even rivaling with Jungkook (that Billboard poll where Tae beat JK by 6%) So whatever BigHit is doing, it’s wrong anyways. Plus they’re all singers/rappers? They’ve trained for a couple of years and actually debuted? They’re artists? And as artists, changing style to improve is a must, meaning all of them has the ability to sing anything given to them. “Even if it doesn’t fit their voice.” Because look, Jin’s voice is better for ballads right? And it really is, listening to “Arirang” and “Awake.” But where are his lines in “Butterfly”? And Jin absolytely slayed “Come Back Home” when that song “doesn’t fit his voice.”
bighit WILL distribute lines and mv solos according to a member’s popularity. we cannot expect the company to just hand out equal parts to the members because that’s not how their system works
We have to expect the company to change. Isn’t BTS about fighting for the oppressed? Their whole existence strives on trying to change things for the better. Do you not listen to their songs? They’re always like “fuck the system, I’ll do it my way.” And as an ARMY, we’re here to change how BigHit treats Jin. Especially because he’s someone dear to us. Honestly, what kind of ARMY are you if you’re not defending each and every one of them.
He’s the visual.
pUHLEEZE We know he’s the visual. So where is his screentime in “Not Today”? If he’s the visual shouldn’t he also be in the middle of the official lineup and appear a little more often center stage when dancing? He’s also a vocalist I hope you’re not forgetting. He’s not just the visual.
stay in your lane
dafuQ, BTS’S HEALTH AND APPRECIATION IS OUR LANE
It’s hard to find a suitable amount of lines for 7 members.
Well rap line is even enough, right? And um, Jungkook usually has 1 minute to a 4 minute song while Jin has 10 seconds (and Tae all the growling parts). I don’t think it’s that hard to do the math there. Heck, switch Jin and Jimin for the high notes so us Jin/OT7 stans and sleep better at night.
He has the worst vocal technique in the group.
Well that’s debatable to a certain degree because at the end of the day, Jin is still a singer, he debuted with everyone else, and probably can sing better than you. Plus giving Kookie/Jimin more lines isn’t helping them either. It causes them to work harder to preserve their voice while performing and just adds more pressure to them.
Don’t blame other members.
We’re not. Maybe a little bit because they could at least speak up (because what would BigHit be without BTS), but a true ARMY loves all of them to pieces but still acknowledging that they’re still human and can make mistakes as well as decisions. We’re just bringing them into the conversation to compare because it really isn’t fair to Jin to get the least amount of everything. It just strengthens are argument for Jin to receive more love and if it ever gets fixed, we’ll just go back to loving the members all the same.
BigHit is an angel compared to other companies.
yes BigHit is an angel compared to other companies, but it’s not helping your argument. Maybe if SM is treating their groups bad, using BigHit is a wonderful example to convince to SM that they need to change. But this is Jin we’re talking about, a human being chasing after his dreams, not a company. I think that says enough, right?
Rather than complaining, we should be happy that BTS is doing this for us. All the members deserve the same love.
hmmm I don’t see you defending that Jin (and Namjoon and Hobi) needs more love or that you’re giving it to them. Plus what kind of ARMY are we if we’re not happy that they’re doing it for us.
BTS distributes the lines
yeah um, that’s a lie and you know it. These boys love each other to pieces and constantly hype each other up, do you really think they’d only give Jin two lines each song?
Honestly, just let us protect our boys and give them what they deserve rather than denying straight fact. (Let’s trend #GiveJinMoreLines2k17 okay? :D)

P.S. I love Nick, Sharon & Tony and I know Steve respects all of them!! But just maybe…not in these particular moments :P

The mistreatment of Jin - a BigHit callout post
A lot of people seem to think that BigHit could never do wrong and know what’s best for BTS. They think BigHit and BTS are a “family”. Well it’s time to wake up..! BigHit isn’t any better when compared to big companies like SM or YG for example. They’re just as problematic like K-Pop companies often tend to be. The perfect example of this is how they’ve been treating Jin these past 4 years.
!! - a few of these facts are just borderline emotional abuse..
okay, let’s get started:
- Apparently Bang-PD walked around calling Jin fat???? wtf (this was 2013, before their debut and around the same time Jin went on a diet no one talks about where he only ate chicken breast for A YEAR.)
- And guess what? Bang-PD isn’t the only one who has called Jin fat: even his manager did. Fortunately they fired him because he was mistreating Jungkook.
- Jin majored in acting but in the House of ARMY, he got all the insignificant roles with basically zero dialogue. Yoongi even said Seokjin had texted him, shocked that he didn’t have any dialogue in the script. In the Making of-video he was clearly pissed: when the camera man said they’ll be filming Jin next he said “Oh, wow. Do I get to appear alone?” asdfghjkl. Jin was salty, but tried so hard to be positive. (he even avoided looking straight into the camera while they were interviewing him.. on the inside he was definitely feeling wronged.)
- Let’s be honest. BigHit could easily push him in the OST direction or debut him as an actor if they wanted, but no.
- Jin was once forced to perform even though he had hurt his neck in Kcon Paris. BigHit never made an official report about his condition… (it’s funny how they made a report about namjoon’s toe and suga’s ear but not this.)
- Now let’s talk about his LINES. Remember Blood, Sweat and Tears where he had to share his few lines with Jimin? That was the most unnecessary thing ever. (later in the japanese ver. they made jin’s voice stand out more than jimin’s. lol I guess even BigShit felt a bit guilty??) I’ve seen people trying to defend this by saying that it’s okay because Jin was the ~Main Character~ in the MV. But honestly, where is the logic in that? BTS are a K-pop group! Their voices are the most important thing about them!
- Jin is the only one who didn’t get a single line in any of the year end 2016 special stages (rainism: jungkook, as i told you: jimin, v, jungkook & class idea: namjoon, hoseok, jungkook… suga wasn’t there because of his ear injury.) He was just a backup dancer and nothing else.
- Remember when people were hyping up Spring Day because apparently this was supposed to be the song where Jin would shine… even V said Jin would surprise us all and umm.. well he didn’t.
- BigHit removed Jin from the thumbnail of Not Today MV because ????
- Speaking of Not Today. Let’s talk about this fuck up…
- *coughs* This was his only solo shot and it lasted about 2 seconds. Really. BTS filmed for almost 24 hours in cold weather and you’re telling me this is the only shot of Jin that was “good enough”. I don’t think so, because we saw the Behind the scenes-video and they were filming Jin quite a lot. They just didn’t use the clips.
- They keep telling Jin his voice is suited for ballads, but Butterfly was a ballad and he was once again the vocal who had the least amount of lines. (and some of them were not even lines like repeating “untrue” is.. not really a line)
- … so basically the ballad comment was just some bs excuse, let’s be real no one fits only 1 type of music. Plus here are some Bangtan’s slower/not hiphop songs I think Jin’s voice could easily be fitted in but he still got the least amount of lines: Spring Day Studio Version, Miss Right, YNWA, Just One Day, Outro: Propose, House of Cards, Coffee…
- Now the most recent fuck up is BTS’ cover of Seo Taiji’s song ‘Come Back Home’ and people are still debating whether Jin has ANY lines at all. The MV for the song was uploaded to CJENMMUSIC’s official youtube and their header was changed to a… group photo… of BTS… except Jin was nowhere to be seen. The fact that they forgot Jin is unbelievable and just plain disrespectful. No product should ever be released without approval and double check. None. And while we don’t know if BigHit had anything to do with the header, whose fault it is that even these other companies tend to forget Jin because they aren’t promoting him enough? This was not a simple mistake. It means that design and marketing teams from HUGE companies like CJEN don’t see him.

i mean bts could call themselves some shit like barbecue tiddy sauce and id still be here waving my nonexistent army bomb tht i cant afford
I swear to god if Jimin or Jungkook get to be on Hit The Stage rather than Hoseok I’m going to fucking scream. I am so pissed off to be honest. Yes Jimin and Jungkook are extremely talented in dance, but everyone knows that Hoseok deserves the spot on Hit The Stage. He’s Bangtan’s lead and main dancer, why are you all sleeping on him? He has the chance to JUST DANCE, which is all he’s ever wanted to do, you guys are actually not going to vote for him? Oh my god.
this fucking show
