would you sign up to ARMYFLIX?

even if he’s part of the maknae line, you can see how much 17 members rely on him, always checking his reactions, and expect him to lead everything (and are usually lost if he’s not there)

if no one is saying anything during an interview, even if he’s not the MC he either leads the members or starts talking even if it’s nonsense to save the situation

he always tries his best to give good advices, and more than anything: always encourage people a lot

he’s able to get along with everyone, even new staff really quickly

he likes to make a lot of jokes, but he’s always careful of people’s reaction: if it looks like he said/did something that would make other unconfortable or hurt them he apoligizes right away and try to make them feel better by saying nice things about them or giving them a hug

he just gives tons of hug to people who are pouting even a bit, or just tons of hugs in general

he’s just extremely polite and respectful: like on One Fine Day, when they were given something to eat after picking bossam in Cheongsando, he was the first one to go to other workers to feed them

after Mingyu used one the bossam to stop a fire, he apologized right away with a 90° bow to workers who gave them bossam

he’s careful of everyone like he tries to make everyone shine, and he keeps telling fun story about the members who don’t talk much

he protects his members of any situation where they could be embarrassed: when people ask Jihoon’s height, when Jeonghan accidently spat on the floor (and he moved quickly to hide it with his foot), or when Hoshi was asked if he changed the choregraphy this week too but he couldn’t so Seungkwan immediately explained how he had so much work that it was impossible for him to do so

he’s careful of other members likes and dislikes, like when a member suggested to cook curry in a cooking program, he immediately said « no we have a member who doesn’t like curry » before Woozi even said that he disliked it

he’s extremely observant and can tell when seungcheol is lying, when woozi is embaressed and acting like he’s not, or really pretty much anything about the members

he’s interrested in foreign members’ culture a lot, like  he kept saying to Minghao how he wanted to try chinese food, until Minghao had enough and took him and Jun  to a chinese restaurant

and he’s always talking in english, and even try to communicate with foreign fans by using it

he didn’t show much of his japanese yet, but it seems pretty good since he’s one the of member who says the longest sentence in japanese

he’s very affectionate with everyone really and even more to fans: he greets them with the biggest smile on his face, hands waving really high in the sky, and he  just looks so happy and excited

when he leaves he either greets the fans the same way, or looks really extremely sadden to leave

he always tries his hardest to communicate with fans, no matter if they are foreigners or not, he has no problem trying to use their language, and start asking them questions about where they are from even if the situation doesn’t really permit them to talk

so whenever he’s in a situation where he can’t really talk (like when he was doing Sukira for exemple) he writes on a notebook things he wants to ask to fans (« are you excited for the comeback? », or after asking to a foreigner where she’s from: « NY? » to make sure), saying thank you to fans « thank you for congratulating me for my graduation♡  », talking about his feelings « i’m going to sing later, i’m so nervous », « i missed you »

he’s also one of the member who communicate the most withs fans on SNS

because of Pledis’ rules he sometimes has to refuse things like taking a picture, or giving people his signature, and he was said to look extremely sorry and apparently kept apologizing

he always show the same respect to sunbae groups, no matter if they are a popular or an unpopular group, he’s admiring all of them and keeps talking about how much he liked one of their song or enjoyed things they did in the past, etc

he’s like some kind of Jeju ambassador: never letting anymore makes fun of it, even if playing along with other people’s jokes would make it easier for him to fit

he has his own insecurities like his weight or his dancing skills (he used to be considered one of the worst dancer) and how he’s the one being scold the most during recording usually, but he never blames anyone joking about his weight, or people scolding him when he wasn’t doing a perfect performance, or Woozi and Bumzu scolding him during recording. He just keeps working hard to diet, and improve in any area he’s not confident in

he makes sure the members don’t loose confidence in themselves, like when seokmin had to show a special talent on a show but reactions weren’t so good, he took his hand even if he was really far away from him to show support

he showers members with praises about anything related to their insecurities: like randomly talking about how happy he is that seungcheol is the leader, how much he likes mingyu’s skin color, or how fun joshua is and actually not a boring person at all…

when Jeonghan joined the group and was awkward with everyone, Seungkwan was the first one who tried getting close to him, by doing a lot of silly jokes, and it was never said but it looks like it took some time for Minghao to become close to the members, and Seungkwan also seems like one of the first who looked out for him

he loves babies and kids so much and if seungkwan is usually the most professional of the group in any given situation, kids are an exception for him: he just stops talking about what he was supposed to talk about and keeps playing with the kid and talk no-stop about how cute he/she is, or even almost forget about the « no photo of people without their consent », because they are so cute to him

he knows every members’ birthday

seungkwan always thought during his predebut days that he would be the least popular, and his biggest fear has always been not getting any attention at all, not being noticed

he was said to be a soft-heart boy since predebut: he cried more than Chan when his father came, also cried the hardest when samuel’s mother read a letter written for seventeen’s members, was the only one who cried when he read his letter for his mother on parent’s day, cried when doing a video message to his mother on 17project and couldn’t stop crying after seeing her, cried at the boys wish concert, cried when seventeen won their first rookie award, and got extremely emotional on his last day at Sukira with Ryeowook and the rest of the S-line, and on the One Fine Day when the 3 leaders read their letters

he also cares a lot about member’s feelings, like he was afraid for seokmin’s feeling when no judge talked about his singing in 17project (while seungkwan was praised), or when vernon said he felt sorry to seventeen about SMTM, he said later in an interview « He was talking about how he was sorry. What’s there to be sorry about~ right? » ©

he loves his mom so much and keeps talking about her no matter what; he even almost gave up on being an idol because he didn’t want to leave his mom in jeju while he was in seoul

he gets anxious really easily, and sometimes he’s tired but since he’s the moodmaker and has pride on this title, he doesn’t want to let other people seeing his tired-side and try to gives energy to people as much as he can no matter what

Okay,

So I’ve been hearing so many bad, horrible things about ARMY’s and their attitude and how annoying they are compared to other groups. Of course, we as a fandom have become more and more wide spread around the world because of BTS’ popularity right now, but this is really getting ridiculous. I am incredibly outraged at certain fans of other groups, because honestly, no one is making this issue better. BTS does not deserve to be hated as much as they currently are. ARMY’s are immature, yes. Me, a fan since pre debut, knows first hand this fact. BUT…they are definitely not the only one’s to have issues. Exo-L’s, what I used to call myself, are/were worse or at least just as bad. The amount of hate I see toward BTS because of this fandom is too much, people. It’s too. much. I am extremely tired reading comments every. day. about BTS being the most annoying group, or that they have no talent on Youtube. ARMY’s are getting a horrible reputation. I need people that have known BTS since the beginning to tell new fans to stop. I only have one voice, but we need to spread love. Not hate. 

BTS, as my blog states, has literally saved. my. LIFE. They brought me out of deep depression. They took away my pain that I have felt for a long. time. The words they write are like no one else I have ever liked as artists. They are NOT like any other k-pop group; they are heroes to me. This group is the only time I have ever felt like someone UNDERSTANDS me. 

And to hear other people call them “TALENTLESS”? 

Please; true ARMY’s please spread love. We need to redeem ourselves and prove to other fandoms how loving and kind we are. Like in 2013-2014. Guys, I am bawling with tears seeing so much hate on my heroes and it is pissing me off. We are a family of kindness everyone, not hatred or annoyance.

Honestly, I’ve never felt more accepted than with ARMY’s. We are funny and smart and memes just like our baes, so please be respectful to others and appreciate all that this group from Heaven has given us. 

I feel like there will never be another group to produce such inspiring music and such loving and derpy members. 

So please…please spread happiness for these wonderful boys.

안녕하세요 슈가입니다  많은 사람들이 나의 휴가에 대해 궁금해 하시더라 간단하게 말하자면 많이 걷고 많이 자고 많이 생각했다 믹스테잎을 작업하기 전 생각 정리를 하고 싶어 여행이 가고 싶었다 꼭 가야하는 곳도 있었고 24살 방탄소년단 슈가가 아닌 24살 민윤기로 할 수 있는 걸 하고 싶었다 나를 돌아보는 시간이었다 지금하는 이야기들은 가수와 팬 방탄과 아미가 아닌 사람 대 사람으로 이야기하고 싶어 시작하는 이야기이다 난 항상 많은 사람들에게 서늘한 사람이고 싶었다 어느 상황에서도 합리적인 생각을 하며 이성적인 판단을 하는. 감정을 보이는 건 누군가에게 지는거라 생각하며 살았다 그렇다 나는 나의 아버지처럼 살고 싶었던 것 같다 아버지는 기쁜일이 있을수록 주위를 둘러 보라고 했다 기쁠수록 냉정하고 이성적으로 판단을 해야한다고. 아니쥬로 첫 일위를 한 날. 난 주위를 둘러보고 있었다. 난 매순간 기뻐도 기쁘지 않은 척 슬퍼도 슬퍼하지 않은 척 좋아도 좋지 않은 척 강한척 냉정한 척. 매순간 ‘척’을 하며 살아 왔다 기쁨은 나누면 배가 된다고 하지만 슬픔은 나눈다고 줄지 않는다고 생각했다. 감정 표현에 서툰 사람이라는 걸 알았지만 나는 그렇게 살아왔다 그게 맞는거라 생각한 것 같다. 언제인지 기억조차 나지 않는 어느날. 아버지와 단둘이 차를 타고 가고 있었다. 아버지가 말했다 윤기야 넌 아빠처럼 살지 마라 참 많은 말들이 담겨 있는 말이였다 휴가 첫날. 난생 처음 ‘가족'과 함께 술을 마셨다 집을 떠나 산지 6년. 이런 저런 이야기를 하며 여태 듣지 못한 이야기들을 들으면서 그렇게 강하고 냉정하다고 생각했던 아버지도 사람이라는 걸 느꼈다. 아파할줄 알고 슬퍼할줄 알며 기뻐할줄 알며 사랑할줄 아는… 연습실에 만든 1.5평 나의 작업실은 나에게 넓은 초원이자 좁은 감옥이였다 뭐든 할 수 있는 동시에 뭐든 할 수 없었다. 생각없이 20시간 음악 작업을 할 수 있었으며 아무것도 하지 않은채 앉아 20시간 생각만 할 수 있었다 처음으로 가사를 쓰기 시작한 나이는 13살 좋은 음악을 들으면 미치듯이 설레었고 무엇보다 기뻤다 음악은 나에게 희망이자 기쁨이였다 나도 누군가의 희망이자 기쁨이 되고 싶었다. 내가 어릴적 동경하는 그들처럼 난 사실 부딪혀서 아프기보단 차라리 외면하는 성격이다 누군가 상처받는게 싫고 나 또한 상처받길 원하지 않는다 ‘never mind’의 부딪힐것같으면 더 쎄게 밟아 임마 그말은 어쩌면 내가 나에게 하고 싶은 말이였을지 모르겠다 많은 사람들을 대할때 가장 슬퍼 질때는 모든 사람들에게 공평하게 대할수 없는 내 자신을 마주 할 때이다 누구하나 상처주고 싶지 않은데 그러지 못할 때가 생긴다 난 아직 한참 부족한 사람인것 같다 고베 콘서트 둘째 날.. 그날 이후 난 깊게 잠을 자본 기억이 없는 것 같다 많은 사람들에게 상처를 줬다는 것 때문일까 항상 잠들면 식은 땀과 함께 잠에서 깬다 이미 한번 무대에 서지 못해 많은 사람들에게 상처를 줘 본 적이 있기에 무슨일이 있어도 올라가겠다고 했다 모든 사람들이 말렸다 무대에 서지 못한다는 상황에 정말 펑펑 울었다 울면 지는건데 나에게 있어서 나의 슬픔을 참는 건 매우 쉬운 일이다 하지만 나를 사랑해주는 사람들이 슬픈 건 매우 힘든일이다 난 다시 나를 사랑하는 사람들에게 슬픔을 안겨주었다. 시간을 되돌릴 수 있다면 난 그 날 무슨일이 있어도 무대에 섰을 것이다 그래서 가야하는 곳이 생겼었다 나는 휴가동안 고베를 다녀왔다 많은 사람들이 말렸지만 가지 않으면 내가 나에게 떳떳하지 못할것 같았다 그래서 무작정 갔다 고베로 공연을 했던 공연장을 공연이 끝나고 따로 찾아 간 적은 이번이 두번째이다 첫번째는 레드불렛 첫 콘서트를 끝내고 새벽에 찾아갔던 악스홀 두번째는 무대에 못했던 고베 월드 기념홀 난 무뎌지는게 너무 싫다 많은 사람들이 나를 사랑해주는 이 영광스러운 날들을 당연시 생각하고 싶지 않았다 무뎌지기 싫었다 그래서 다시 찾아 갔었던 악스홀 난 무대에 서는게 너무 좋았었고 아직도 좋다 17살때 난 관객 2명 앞에서 공연을 할때도 떳떳하게 눈을 마주하고 공연을 했었다 하지만 데뷔 이후 난 나 자신에게 떳떳하지 못했던 것 같다 내 자신이 부족하단 걸 내가 더 잘 알아서였을지도. 그리고 화양연화 온 스테이지 첫 공연날 난 오랜만에 관객들과 떳떳하게 눈을 마주쳤다 하지만 무대에 서지 못했던 고베 두번째 날 그날 이후 난 다시 떳떳하게 많은 사람들을 마주할 자신이 없었다 그래서 찾아 간 고베 , 그 공연장 난 도착한 시간부터 우리의 공연이 시작하던 그 시간까지 주변을 계속 서성였다 티켓팅 부스에서 입구 그리고 공연장 구석구석 난 당신들과 똑같은 감정을 느끼고 싶었다 많은 감정들을 느꼈다 기쁨 공연을 기다릴때의 설렘 슬픔 원망 분노 안타까움 등등 난 당신들을 이해하고 싶고 이해한다 그러기에 미안하고 죄송하다 완벽하지 않은 인간이라 나약하지만 강한척 하는 인간이라 다시 한번 난 부족한 인간이라는 걸 느꼈다 종교는 없지만 그 자리에서 기도했다 어차피 끝은 정해져 있는 일 끝이 있더라도 이 감정 이 마음 무뎌지지 말자고 매순간 혼자이고 싶었던 나에게 여러분들은 참 많은 부분을 차지하고 있었다 나이와 성별 국적과 종교 당신이 어떤 언어를 쓰는지 그건 나에게 중요하지 않다 당신이 어리던 말던 나이가 많던 숨긴 아이가 있던 상관없다고 이미 말한적 있지 않은가 나와 우리 방탄을 사랑하는 사람이라면 모두 아미이다 예상치 못하게 뮤직뱅크 방송이 잡혀 예정보다 하루 일찍 비행기를 타고 돌아 오는 날 난 많은 생각들을 정리하고 돌아왔다 다시한번 난 축복받은 사람이라는 걸 느끼며 매순간 감사하며 살아야 하는 사람이라는 생각이 들었다 24살 민윤기는 그토록 되기 싫었던 어른의 문턱 코앞에 서 있다는 사실을 깨닫는 순간이였다 축복받은 사람으로 만들어 주셔서 감사합니다 아미 표현이 서툴어 항상 말은 못하지만 이렇게 시덥잖은 글을 통해 다시 한번 제 생각을 전달하네요 부족한 인간이기에 매순간 감사하며 살겠습니다 사랑합니다 아미

안녕하세요 슈가입니다 많은 분들이 나의 휴가에 대해 궁금해 하시더라 간단하게 말하자면 많이 걷고 많이 자고 많이 생각했다 믹스테잎을 작업하기 전 생각 정리를 하고 싶어 여행이 가고 싶었다 꼭 가야하는 곳도 있었고

Hello, this is Suga. Many people were curious as to what I was doing on my break, and to simply put it, I walked a lot, slept a lot and thought a lot. I wanted to go on a trip to organize my thoughts before working on my mixtape. I also had a place I must go to. And 

24살 방탄소년단 슈가가 아닌 24살 민윤기로 할 수 있는 걸 하고 싶었다 나를 돌아보는 시간이었다 지금하는 이야기들은 가수와 팬 방탄과 아미가 아닌 사람 대 사람으로 이야기하고 싶어 시작하는 이야기이다

I wanted to do things I was able to do not as a 24 year old BTS’ Suga, but as a 24 year old Min Yoongi. It was a time where I looked back at myself. The things I will say now are things I wanted to share not as a Singer and Fan, or as Bangtan and ARMY, but to talk to you as human to human.

많은 사람들을 대할때 가장 슬퍼 질때는 모든 사람들에게 공평하게 대할수 없는 내 자신을 마주 할 때이다 누구하나 상처주고 싶지 않은데 그러지 못할 때가 생긴다 난 아직 한참 부족한 사람인것 같다

The most upsetting time for me when I face a large number of people, is when I face myself who isn’t able to be fair to everyone. I didn’t want to hurt anyone, but there are times I couldn’t do that. I think I’m still a person that lacks in many things.

고베 콘서트 둘째 날.. 그날 이후 난 깊게 잠을 자본 기억이 없는 것 같다 많은 사람들에게 상처를 줬다는 것 때문일까 항상 잠들면 식은 땀과 함께 잠에서 깬다

The second day of the concert in Kobe.. I don’t think I’ve ever slept deeply after that day. Could it be because of the fact that I gave a wound to many people? Whenever I fell asleep, I would wake up with cold sweat.

이미 한번 무대에 서지 못해 많은 사람들에게 상처를 줘 본 적이 있기에 무슨일이 있어도 올라가겠다고 했다 모든 사람들이 말렸다 무대에 서지 못한다는 상황에 정말 펑펑 울었다 울면 지는건데    

Because I already once have not been able to go on stage before and have hurt many people, I said that I’ll go up (to perform) no matter what situation arises. Everyone tried to stop me. I really cried a ton at the situation of not being able to go up on stage. And I know crying is losing.

나에게 있어서 나의 슬픔을 참는 건 매우 쉬운 일이다 하지만 나를 사랑해주는 사람들이 슬픈 건 매우 힘든일이다 난 다시 나를 사랑하는 사람들에게 슬픔을 안겨주었다. 시간을 되돌릴 수 있다면 난 그 날 무슨일이 있어도 무대에 섰을 것이다

It’s really easy for me to cope with my own sorrow, but witnessing those who love me in sadness is very hard. I made them sad, once again. If I could go back to that day, I would go on stage no matter what.

그래서 가야하는 곳이 생겼었다 나는 휴가동안 고베를 다녀왔다 많은 사람들이 말렸지만 가지 않으면 내가 나에게 떳떳하지 못할것 같았다 그래서 무작정 갔다 고베로  

So there was just one place to go. I went to Kobe during my break. Many people tried to stop me from going, but I didn’t want to be ashamed of myself any longer. So I just went to Kobe.

공연을 했던 공연장을 공연이 끝나고 따로 찾아 간 적은 이번이 두번째이다 첫번째는 레드불렛 첫 콘서트를 끝내고 새벽에 찾아갔던 악스홀 두번째는 무대를 못섰던 고베 월드 기념홀

It was my second time visiting the concert venue after a concert. The first was Ax Hall at late night after finishing the first Red Bullet concert. The second time was the Kobe World Memorial Hall, at where I failed to perform.

난 무뎌지는게 너무 싫다 많은 사람들이 나를 사랑해주는 이 영광스러운 날들을 당연시 생각하고 싶지 않았다 무뎌지기 싫었다 그래서 다시 찾아 갔었던 악스홀 그리고 고베 월드 기념홀

I hate becoming a numb person.  I didn’t want to take the love and these glorious days for granted. I didn’t want to be a numb person. That’s why I visited the venues again on my own.

(T/N: He’s saying he doesn’t want to take all the love he’s receiving as granted, he really wants to appreciate every single love he gets. He’s meaning numb in the way by how he wouldn’t be able to feel what the fans feel about him. He’s basically saying he wants to appreciate every love he gets from his fans)

하지만 무대에 서지 못했던 고베 두번째 날 그날 이후 난 다시 떳떳하게 많은 사람들을 마주할 자신이 없었다 그래서 찾아 간 고베 , 그 공연장 난 도착한 시간부터 우리의 공연이 시작하던 그 시간까지 주변을 계속 서성였다

But after the second day of the Kobe concert when I was unable to stand on stage, I didn’t have the courage to confidently confront the large number of people. So that’s why I visited Kobe, the concert hall again. I kept wandering around the area by the concert hall from the time I arrived there until the time our performance was due to begin that day.

티켓팅 부스에서 입구 그리고 공연장 구석구석 난 당신들과 똑같은 감정을 느끼고 싶었다 많은 감정들을 느꼈다 기쁨 공연을 기다릴때의 설렘 슬픔 원망 분노 안타까움 등등 난 당신들을 이해하고 싶고 이해한다 그러기에 미안하고 죄송하다 완벽하지 않은 인간이라

From the ticketing booth to the entrance and the concert hall - I wanted to feel the same emotions as you all from every nook and corner. I felt many emotions. Happiness, the excited nervousness felt while waiting for the performance, sadness, resentment, anger, regret, etc. , I wanted to understand you all, and I do understand. So I’m sorry and apologetic, for I am not a perfect human being.

나약하지만 강한척 하는 인간이라 다시 한번 난 부족한 인간이라는 걸 느꼈다 종교는 없지만 그 자리에서 기도했다 어차피 끝은 정해져 있는 일 끝이 있더라도 이 감정 이 마음 무뎌지지 말자고

I’m a person who is weak, but acts strong. Once again I realised that I was a person who’s lacking. Although I’m not religious, I prayed at that place. After all at the end, it was a fated day. Even if it’s ended, let’s not let this heart become numb.

매순간 혼자이고 싶었던 나에게 여러분들은 참 많은 부분을 차지하고 있었다 나이와 성별 국적과 종교 당신이 어떤 언어를 쓰는지 그건 나에게 중요하지 않다 예상치 못하게 뮤직뱅크 방송이 잡혀 예정보다 하루 일찍 비행기를 타고 돌아 오는 날

To me, who wanted to spend every moment alone, you all were taking up quite a large part (of my mind). Age and gender, nationality and religion, what language you use - all of that isn’t important to me. The day that we unexpectedly caught a Music Bank broadcast and boarded a plane and returned a day before planned

난 많은 생각들을 정리하고 돌아왔다 다시한번 난 축복받은 사람이라는 걸 느끼며 매순간 감사하며 살아야 하는 사람이라는 생각이 들었다 축복받은 사람으로 만들어 주셔서 감사합니다 아미 표현이 서툴어 항상 말은 못하지만

I returned after organizing my many thoughts. Once again, while feeling that I’m a blessed person, I felt that I need to be a person who lives every moment feeling thankful. Thank you for making me a blessed person, ARMY, Although I’m never able to say this because I’m bad at expressing myself.

이렇게 시덥잖은 글을 통해 다시 한번 제 생각을 전달하네요 부족한 인간이기에 매순간 감사하며 살겠습니다 사랑합니다 아미

Here I am conveying my feelings and thoughts once more through a piece of less-than-satisfactory writing. I will live while being thankful of every moment as I am such a lacking human being. I love you, ARMYs
