Reasons Jimin can whoop your ass in every damn aspect of life.
Predebut
• Valedictorian ( highest ranked student )
• Class president for nine years.
• Only freshman to recieve a martial scholarship to China.
• 6 overseas offers.
• Overall #1 in math and chemistry.
• #1 in Busan street battles for two years.
• Just dance academy let him learn dance for free cause nobody could deny that natural talent.
• Professionally trained in Ballet, contemporary, street, traditional Korean dance and hip hop.
• Learned Geomdo for 8 years.
• Has a black belt in Taekwondo.
• #1 rank in school despite being a dancer since 8th grade and spending most his time dancing.
Post debut
• Had the shortest trainee period and still debuted as the lead vocalist and the main dancer of BTS. ( enourmous flex )
• Has the most commercially successful solo on the wings album; the masterpiece that is Lie which stayed on melon charts for 8 weeks, the longest in the groups solos.
• His ‘lie’ was the only solo song on the top 30 kpop songs streamed on Spotify along with psy.
• ‘Lie’ was the only BTS solo to enter iTunes top 100 chart.
• Has the most views on his solo comeback trailer out of all; serendipity the Queen.
• Has the most watched fancam in kpop history; The holy fake love fancam.
• Jimin’s solos ‘lie’ & ‘serendipity’ made history when they surpassed 50 m streams on Spotify for the first time after psy as korean solo songs.
• The only idol mentioned on guardians best solo boy band members along with the resident king, G dragon.
• #1 idol in all of Korea based on the Gallup poll 2018 which does the actual polling and estimates for elections and stuff so I mean, that’s fucking reliable.
• #1 brand ranking multiple times including December 2018.
• His new solo “promise” became the fastest BTS song on souncloud to cross the streams.
And all of this is when I’m only counting the things that actually matter and not shitty websites and random polling.
Being average has never been a Jimin thing. His whole life has been a flex.
Just cause he is humble and doesn’t talk about his achievements doesn’t mean we as his fans won’t.
So yeah, if y’all think Jimin has no solo achievements in his life or career try and come at me personally, with all due respect,
“I’ll show you”
Be an intellectual and go stream promise.
This post remains my biggest flex on his behalf.
At this point I’d add things like the ONLY kpop idol to have won a government cultural award for his solo performance or the ONLY kpop idol to have topped Brand reputations for 14 months straight or the ONLY human being ever to have 20 worldwide hashtags trend for him simultaneously but nevermind y’all.
There’s just so much to add on the list as of now but y’all know what? I don’t even need to justify his claim to his place; his work does that for him.
Shinee fucking ran so that kpop could walk and those are just the facts that everyone should accept.
They debuted when kpop had a very specific style and concept of what young boy groups could do in order to sell but Shinee really knocked on the doors with replay and as soon as they opened, they deadass shot out Lucifer and Ring DD and no body was prepared lmao.
They legitimately redefined kpop and I really don’t think they get enough credit for that? FROM DAY ONE, they had the most intricate and class choreographies in kpop. There’s a reason why shinee are called performance legends. It’s because you can pick any damn shinee choreography and it’s just so amazingly well executed; Not to mention they’re the first kpop idols who started releasing choreography practice videos and dancing without backup dancers which as y’all can see, has become the norm now.
Also, TILL DATE Shinee had the most packed schedule for any kpop rookie group ever. They were out there performing for 8 hours and then going back home just to rehearse for another 8. Their success was so unexpectedly high and they were literally teenagers handling all that fame. Taemin was a literal child with a bowl cut ffs. Also, don’t come for my bowl cut children, they looked PRECIOUS in the replay MV.
Even as early as 2011, Shinee being known as variety show and pilot experts because they’re naturally so funny and have a bond within them that easily puts people at ease and makes for one crazy episode with no chaos or anything “extra” per say. Just shinee being shinee is enough. In an industry where idols don’t even react to other female idols at award shows cause of the knetz, ya bois, Taemin and Minho really went fuck it and did whole collab stages with Sunmi and Yuri. The flex. Not to mention the way Shinee and especially Jonghyun & Taemin said a huge Fuck you to Korea’s oh so precious “masculine aura” and just went on with releasing pretty boy and Taemin saying makeup isn’t something for girls and that makeup is for all genders, a legend.
The way Shinee had fans in countries like Dubai, Russia, India and many many others at a time when kpop really wasn’t a thing? It was just Korean music for Koreans but shinee went ahead and did their thing and it broke language barriers as if they were air. It’s 2020 and Barack Obama talking about shinee still feels like a fever dream to me tbh.
Not even mentioning anything else now BUT just their music and it’s impact man?? The way shinee put out ALBUM after ALBUM with no rest and the fact being that, Every damn song they put out was a WHOLE BANGER.
Like?? SHINEE’S FUCKING DISCOGRAPHY??
JULIETTE, SHERLOCK, RING DD, REPLAY, LUCIFER, STRANGER, GOOD EVENING, VIEW, PICASSO, MARRIED TO THE MUSIC, WHY SO SERIOUS?? BRUH WHAT EVEN?
SHINEE songs that get covered by rookie idols everyday, mentioned by established idols as their inspiration during trainee days, songs that the entire population of Korea would know. Songs that trainees practice on for hours hoping that one day they too, would debut.
Shinee, a boygroup who’s know as the group who “made their own concepts” and everyone else simple followed.
And the craziest part is they are one of the longest standing groups in kpop, been together for 12 whole years and are still as relevant and iconic as ever. The fact that all five members have so much solo potential and even then nothing trivial like fame or money had ever seemed to break shinee up as a group is really a feat.
Taemin is no doubts THE best dancer and one of the most successful soloists in the entire kpop industry. A living legend tbh. His discography is hot, molten GOLD. Jonghyun’s VOCALS are liter-al-ly one of the strongest vocals in the entire industry and every damn shinee song is a proof of his sheer excellence as a main vocalist. Cue to Stranger. Onew deadass sang opera for a loaded audience once and left everyone shook and his 40 sec long note. Also, this man leads the chaos that is shinee, mad respect. Key’s rapping style is honestly so distinctive and HONEY that man can sing like his life depends on it. Not to mention kibum is a FASHION ICON. Also, his ‘born to shine’ solo stage. HE DID THAT. Minho really out there being a multi talented class act, who’s a main rapper but has vocals that could kill. Not only that, man be out here having acted in so many successful dramas.
Imma say this once and I want all you third gen kpop stans to print it out, Shinee did for kpop what no one else did so you might not stan them or listen to their music but the one thing your ass will do, IS RESPECT THEM. Respect shinee and everything that they went through in a time where kpop wasn’t shit and kpop artists were treated so heartlessly as if they were nothing but cash machines. Also they’re from SM so God knows what kinda shit that company has put them through and one can never imagine the sheer amount of pressure on the members to have been so young and so in pain but having no one to trust at the heights of their success; Imagine being loved and cheered on by thousands on a stage only to come back home to nothing but you and your head in the now deafening silence. Imagine waking up one day and finding out that a boy you spent half your lifetime with, shared your best and worst moments with, is suddenly gone? Just like that? AND THEN having the sheer fucking courage to go up in front of thousand teary eyes and questioning glances, leaving a microphone empty on a stage and while using his damn background vocals; singing your heart out to the songs he wrote under an aqua blue moon knowing, for sure, that what began in 2008 will never really end, ever.
I’ve seen a lot of posts wherein if a person does the bare minimum for Jimin y’all shout out, “xyz is Jimins jimin”. Nah mate, no body will ever quite do enough for him as he has and continues to do for everyone else and those are just the facts.
The ONLY, O N L Y, person who this can be said about is his father; Jimins father who in a highly conservative society like Korea, let his Male kid learn ballet and get a whole degree in Morden dancing, something even non conservative societies would frown upon. Jimins father who wanted him to be a lawyer but happily accepted his sons interests and drove him to his auditions instead. Jimins father who no matter which country Jimin is in, never fails to send his kid a bouquet on his birthday till date. Jimins father who calls Jimin after concerts and asks him if he has eaten enough and shouts out “I love you” and “fighting” before ending the call. Jimins father who in a society like Korea is open minded enough to have Jimin try make up on his dad. Jimins father who used to take Jimin for hiking on weekends after working his job all week just cause Minnie wanted to see the mountains. Jimins dad who proudly goes to Jimins old school to donate money for the Morden dance department. Jimins father who as said by Jimins neighbors is “a man of value and irrevocable kindness.”
Jimins father who raised Jimin to be a man of values. A loving, caring sweetheart who has never done anyone any wrong. A boy who at the heights of success bows ever so politely to rookie groups. A boy who literally had the shortest training period in kpop and by his sheer dedication and hard work became the standard for other idols. A boy who has never said shit about anyone or gotten in any scandals from his own doing, the ONE time the media framed him it was cause of a gifted T-shirt lmao. Papa parks Son is literally the #1 idol for a year now and has no real scandals whatsoever tainting his image; a drama free sophisticated legend who focused on his work while paying dust to everything else. A boy who gets hated on daily for no fucking reasons but has never been anything but respectful and kind. Jimin who donates a huge amount of money every year to his hometown. Jimin who literally questioned the very existence of masculinity; in his words “what the heck is men”. This is who papa Park raised and God knows he did a fabulous job. They say kids are the reflection of their parents, well damn, papa Park must be a wholeass angel then to have raised Park Jimin.
So, in conclusion, Jimins father is Jimins Jimin, for anyone else to even come close is a long ways to go. Stan Papa Park, a whole legend.
The rain was hitting heavily against the window and you were hesitant to leave Namjoons apartment.
You turn to look at him, and in his hand held a kid sized umbrella. “Uhm namjoon? How is this going to protect me from the rain?”
He shrugs. “It won’t, but I don’t want to give you my umbrella because I’m leaving you, and it would be really awkward for me to go to your rat house to get it back.”
“You’re leaving me?!”
“You should’ve known this y/n. Your dogs bark up my whole house and I don’t need to deal with that kind of negativity no more.” He hands you the kid sized umbrella and waves. “Bye bye.”
———-
Jin:
He lets you stay, but for every hour you’re still at his house, he charges you $100 secretly.
————
Yoongi:
“A little rain won’t hurt the soul.” He says, pushing you out his apartment door.
“But it’s thundering!” You shout, your car was a little ways from his building.
He stares at you for a second before shutting the door on you and locking it. “Yeah, no one yells at me like that.”
———-
Hoseok:
“You can stay for another hour but after that you gotta go. Some friends of mine are coming over and I don’t need them to see you.” He says, smiling at you.
“Why? Are you embarrassed of me?”
“That’s an understatement.”
———
Jimin:
“Sure you can stay a little longer!” He cheerfully answers, grabbing his wallet keys and a umbrella.
“Where are you going?”
He looks at you, his smile disappearing. “To my happy place.”
“And where’s that?”
“Anywhere that doesn’t have you in the mix.”
————-
Taehyung:
He takes your hand and leads you out of his apartment. “Bye Y/n.”
You look at him like he was crazy. “What? I can’t leave now, it’s raining cats and dogs!”
“I would love for you to stay but my apartment smells like actual ass and I know I showered 30 minutes ago.”
You laugh at him, slapping him on the forearm. “Oh silly, I could just take a bath.”
“Last time I let you near my tub, it was so scared that it wouldn’t turn on. I had to convince it that I’ll never do that to them again.” He chuckles at you, and shuts the door.
For a second he could hear his tub yell in excitement.
————-
Jungkook:
“It’s raining jungkook, I can’t just leave yet.”
He grabs a towel off the floor and hands it to you. “Here, put this on your head and you’ll be fine.”
You grab it, and you feel how damp it is. “Did you just use this?”
“Yup, that’s why I’m letting you use it for a makeshift umbrella. Duh.” He ushers you out the apartment, not before telling you good luck.
———————————————————
It’s currently 5:23 a.m. and I don’t know why I’m still awake. I was supposed to be sleep like 2 hours ago. What the fuck♀️
Oh this was inspired by some rain I always turn on to help me fall asleep. (Apparently it’s not working right now.)
Hello, friends! Today I will be talking about the veeery common ending you have all probably seen! Whether it be in K-Pop, in dramas, you’ve all definitely heard this and may have wondered, “hmmm.. what is the difference between 아니요 & 아니죠????” Well, today I’ll use my notes to explain it to you!
So, as expected, there are very many different usages for this ending, but for the most part, you can think of it as “…right?”
When using 존댓말(formal language), -지요 normally changes to -죠. When using반말(informal language), you use -지.
Structure ⟹
Present: verb stem +지(요) Past: vs + 았/었/였 + 지(요) Future: vs + (으)ㄹ 거 + 지(요)
Usages
Let’s talk about the different usages: 1) You’re talking about something supposing the other person already knows 2) Both you and the other person know about something or have a common opinion about something and you’re just mentioning it again AS A QUESTION ENDING 3) Both you and the other person know about something and you’re just reassuring by asking (clarifying) 4) You know about something and you’re asking to confirm the fact 5) You don’t know about something and you’re asking yourself a question, usually like thinking out loud and asking other people around you at the same time
Just like there are multiple usages for the term, ‘right,’ it’s almost entirely directly translated to 지(요)
Sample Sentences
오늘 날씨가 춥지요? The weather is cold today, right? (You know the person already knows.) 맞아요. 피자 정말 맛있죠. That’s right. Pizza is really delicious. (You know the person agrees with you and thinks so too) 재미있지요? It’s fun, right? (Trying to get reassurance from the other person) 이게 뭐지…? What is this…? (Asking yourself) 그럴 수도 있죠. Yeah, that could be possible. (You both know something is possible, so you show your agreement)
That’s all for today! A super simple beginner lesson for you guys, hopefully, it was well put. If there’s anything you don’t understand, feel free to ask me. I will always answer in 24 hours or less
화이팅, 여러분!!! 나중에 봐요~~

Hey there friends~~ Since I’m not a very avid listener of k-pop, please tell me some k-pop songs you would like to learn. I will help you learn vocabulary and grammar structures of these songs so you can sing along.
As well as recommendations, please don’t be afraid to ask questions!!!!
Hello, everyone! Today I’ll be teaching you a very common phrasing in conversational Korean. This includes poems, dramas, and songs - so I’m sure you have encountered this somewhere if you’re into Korean media. Let’s get into it!!
When you want to describe how something is done - in the same way as another action or remains in the same state as it is. (i.e. “Leave it as it is,” “Did you do as I told you?,” “I wrote down as I heard”
Construction: Past tense: -(으)ㄴ 대로 Present tense: -(느)ㄴ 대로
Examples 보다 - 본 대로 (the way/as you saw it) 보는 대로 (the way/as you see it) 하다 - 한 대로 (the way/as you did it) 하는 대로 (the way/as you do it)
아는 대로just the way one knows
아는 대로 말해 주세요. Please tell me everything you know (just the way you know it)
아는 대로 쓰세요. Write what you know. (without changing anything)
말한 대로 just the way one said
제가 말한 대로 했어요? Did you do it as I said/the way I told you?
효진 씨가 말한 대로 했는데, 안 됐어요. I did as Hyojin said, but it didn’t work.
뜰은 대로 just like I heard
들은 대로 이야기해 주세요. Tell me exactly as you heard it.
들은 대로 잘 전달했어요. I delivered the message well. I passed on what I heard accordingly.
OTHER USAGES AND FORMS
meaning ‘as soon as’ after a verb stem. → 도착하는 대로 전화해 주세요 (call me as you arrive)
(v.s.+(던) 대로) to talk about a past action that was repeated or wasn’t finished → 평소에 하던 대로 하세요. (do it in the way you’ve always done it)
이대로, 저대로, 그대로 →이대로(just the way it is now), 저대로 (just the way that (that over there) is now, 그대로 (just the way it is in general)
Noun + 대로(following [noun], as the [noun] goes) → 제 말대로 just like I said, 예언대로 just as the prophecy said, 마음대로 just as your heart says
VERY POPULAR PHRASE → 마음대로 하세요 Do as you please. (could be sarcastic or genuine; the same meaning as English, but the literal meaning is like ‘do just as your heart says/desires’
This concept is a little bit difficult to get the grasp of, I’ll admit, but once you do, you can use it all the time! You can have much more natural conversations with natives and be able to recognise it in your favourite k-pop songs and say, “oh! I learned that from Taya’s Korean Study Blog!! Amazing” haha :) I hope you all learned a lot and don’t be afraid of asking any pressing questions, I will reply as soon as possible!!
DISCLAIMER: This lesson was taken from TTMIK chapter 7 or 8 (I can’t remember). It is simply notes from my notebook and I am in no way claiming this lesson (wording and all) as my own. It is just a more condensed version and hopefully easier to understand version of the original. Thank you for understanding.
