stop saying he doesnt deseve as many lines or parts as he does, stop saying he HAS to be lip syncing his high notes in jjeoleo bc theres no way he could hit them, stop treating him worse than he is bc hes just a teenager to you, stop saying hes ~boring~ because he doesnt post often outside of dubsmashes (hes been extremely shy since before debut and he barely posts probably bc of how shy he is), stop only valuing him for his appearance, stop ignoring the fact that hes a fucking 17 year old kid who has a lot of the weight of the group piled on him to be shitty

like you all DO this without remembering that he doubts himself. he thinks hes nothing outside of bangtan and has no real talent amongst idols. he thinks hes mediocre. he thinks he isnt good at all. this is the kid that is consistently called the golden maknae in public for his talent, and he legitimately believes that he has to push himself to be better and better and better as if he isnt good enough already. he’ll act like hes super charismatic but hes just a kid. hes a really shy and anxious kid who doesnt. think. hes. good enough.

he loves to goof around with his hyungs but so often (until recently) ive seen him stop or tone it down the moment he sees a camera because hes still so shy. he doesnt have a malicious bone in his body but some of you treat him like the fucking devil himself because he gets as many lines as he does or because you dont like him bc he “seems so much like yr typical teenager” like im sorry that someone being really shy and insecure and just barely coming out of their shell rubs you wrong???? okay then???

jeongguk is a sweetheart. he makes dubsmashes for his hyungs to try and cheer them up and he doesnt like physical affection much but hes opened up to bangtan enough to allow that. he lets taehyung pinch his skin and make elephants with his moles despite the fact that he shies away from physical affection.

he loves zion.t and crush so much and he auditioned to SOPA with two melodies (and you could see he was really shy in that too)

in one of his earliest bangtan bombs he ran away from the camera for a few minutes straight because he was so shy and yoongi bailed him out of it by taking the camera’s attention.

he was too shy to look at his hyungs (who CAME TO HIS FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL WITH HIM) in the crowd or talk to his friends.

on his birthday the hyungs & the managers played a prank on him and told him that he wasnt doing good enough and that he wasnt being good for bangtan and he CRIED, he started fucking crying when they told him it was a joke and it was enough, he literally started CRYING hed just turned 16 and he was crying on his birthday because he thought he wasnt good enough
