ONE OF THE BEST MOMENTS OF ‘IN THE SOOP’ WAS YOONGI VENTING TO JIN AND JIN FINDING THE RIGHT WORDS TO COMFORT AND ADVICE HIM. THIS IS WHY THEY SAY ‘BTS ARE FAMILY”

Contrary to what many think, Seokjin is very wise & mature and contrary to what many think, Yoongi looks strong only because he keeps big walls between him and the world. Only his dearest ones can see beyond the fortress he built to protect himself. This is why he is showing his vulnerable side so easily to Seokjin. They also walked the same path and lived the same events. But of them reacted to them differently. This is how Jin is even more admirable. He said once that he started having this “glass half full” instead of “glass half empty” mentality while becoming part of BTS. He keeps smiling to influence the others to smile too. He supports all the six other members and it works. He turns into a funny guy when time needs it and become serious when the situation calls for it. That’s why Yoongi said in the video above that he wants to start having a more positive way of thinking after he saw how Seokjin handles things. It won’t be easy. However, being near people that can influence you positively indeed helps.

Looking at this clip the iconic Yoongi quote: “What a relief we have 7 members. What a relief we have each other.” makes even more sense.

LYRICS TRANSLATED TO ENGLISH

IONIQ, IONIQ, IONIQ, IONIQ, IONIQ, IONIQ When I look into your eyes all I see is you filling my mind  New meetings charge me  Tho’ I bump into something new possibility  I’m excited to discover  Full energy, higher esteem better focus on what’s charging me  Whenever you lose your way (I got you) Follow the map of the soul  Run unceasingly  When you are tired I will be your rest  Running unceasingly  When you’re tired I’ll be your rest  I’m on it.   Chasing my chance (on it, on it)  IONIQ takes me there (there, there)  What I want is simple  Rather than going far, I want to be with you all the time  Show you the way  IONIQ, IONIQ, IONIQ, IONIQ, IONIQ, IONIQ  I see a sign saying “slow it down”  I’ve pushed myself too hard Rather than pushing too hard  Give me the strength to move forward (cheer up)  When we’re together  I get my energy the memory, it makes me go again I can hear the sound of the wind blowing  I put my voice on top of that  Let’s make it into new music (stories)  Make it loud make it right     We’re almost there  Where I am heading for It’s finally one step away  I’m on it.   Chasing my chance (on it, on it)  IONIQ takes me there (there, there)  What I want is just simple  Rather than going far, I want to be with you all the time  Show you the way  IONIQ, IONIQ, IONIQ, IONIQ, IONIQ, IONIQ 

As protests against injustice in legal system, discrimination, police brutality spread through the US, it is necessary to educate yourself about these issues.
