All ya playa haters, you should love yo self!

Hey Army! We noticed there was a disturbance in the force this weekend, and you made some fantastic responses to it. Great job!

      BTS's success has led to other people's success, including previously unknown (relatively) YouTubers and web article writers. There will, unfortunately, be more instances of people using Bangtan for their own gain. I don't even think the boys would mind others getting a leg up, with them. But some people can only be envious, never appreciative. So it was wonderful to see the response from Armys all over the world, this weekend!

      Surely, we were angry after certain things were said. Who wouldn't be? But to see our fandom come together in a positive way was inspiring. The #cypherparty on Twitter" and the streaming parties to raise the cyphers in the charts were brilliant ideas. And we're here for it, Armys! 👏👏 One of the truly incredible and unique things about BTS is their positive message and approach to everything. So it's amazing when that translates to fandom and our behaviours,  too. Keeping in mind how they'd want to see us is probably a good idea whenever dealing with fandom issues. Thinking of constructive ways to express our unhappiness is near Namjoon-level genius. Rather than just sending hate comments, it may be as satisfying to politely request apologies. Sometimes, there are extremes and we may choose to report the problem. There are always ways to do that on any platform, correctly. Or, if you think it's warranted, to BigHit directly. Even kindly write to employers and let them know of our displeasure. There've also been outreaches, in the past, to help educate some people who couldn't understand BTS. 

What kind of responses did you like? Any examples you want to share? Any ideas you have for the future? Let us know! We're happy to share ideas. Overall, it was really fabulous to see the anger and hurt turned into fun and fruitful action. We noticed, Army! You nice, Keep going!    ❄️👸🏼

   Many others have discussed this song and done it well, but Imma use it to start our move into BTS' music and symbology. Because, to my mind, it's one of BTS' best songs ever and embodies everything that's so special about them. First, let's look at the lyrics. I'll write the translation out here and not repeat the refrain, for space purposes. I'm using Genius English Translations. I'll also indicate which rapper sings which part, so you know what they wrote, basically.

   RM:

Yeah, the most lonely creature in the world

Eh, do you want to know my story?

I've never told this to anybody

Yeah, come on

   Suga:

In the middle of the vast ocean

One whale speaks softly and lonelily

The fact that no matter how much they shout, it won't reach

Makes them so gravely lonely that they quietly shut their mouths

Of course i don't care what's the matter or what I've now become

When loneliness is the only thing that stays by my side

I've become completely alone. It's a lock that fills sadness

Someone says "Bastard, you've become a celebrity"

Oh fuck that! So what?! Nobody remains by my side and I'm fine on my own

These words that are easily said towards me quickly becomes a wall

Even loneliness turns into something you can see

Even if my breaths are blocked

Because I'm confined in that wall

Head towards the surface of water above

Hey oh, oh hey oh yeah

   Chorus:

Lonely lonely lonely whale

Sing alone like this!

Will i ever shine so brightly like a remote island?

Lonely lonely lonely whale

Like this, try calling once again

Until this song that doesn't have a response

Reaches tomorrow

No more, no more baby

No more, no more

An endless signal will reach someday

Everywhere, even to the other side of the earth

No more, no more baby

No more, no more

Even the blind whales will be able to see me

Today i sing again

        J-Hope:

The world will never know

How sad i am

My hurt is oil and water that can't mix

So only above the surface of the water do I

Breathe, and the interest ends

A child in the lonely ocean

I want to make it known too

My value, Everyday

I become sick with worry, the sticker always beneath my ear

Never end... Why is there no end and always hell?

As time goes by, it's a Neverland in a cold abyss!

But I always think, now

Even if i sleep a shrimp's sleep, my dreams are like that of a whale's

The upcoming big praise will make me dance everyday

Like me, Ye I'm swimmin'

   Bridge:

I go towards my future

That blue beach and

Believe in my hertz

Hey oh, oh hey oh yeah

   RM:

Mom said the sea is blue

She said to let out your voice as far as you can

But what do i do? It's so dark here and there are only different whales

 speaking entirely different words!

I just can't hold it, ma! I want to say I love you

Alone, I look back at this music sheet that's like a rotating song

This ocean is too deep

Still, I'm lucky

(No one besides me knows of these tears.)

I'm a whalien.

   Chorus to end

   Wow, really strong moving lyrics. Just by reading, you can feel the pain and loneliness that they've experienced. Now add the music and voices. Even down to Adora's adlibs in the background, reminiscent of whale songs...

(Adora is a long-time producer with BigHit, in case you were unaware.) And the way they use the "radio sound" to make RM's voice sound further away. And lonelier. The credits for writing this are Kim Namjoon, Min Yunki, Jung Hoseok, Brother(?) Su, PDogg, Hitman Bang and Slow Rabbit. They are the dream team, when it comes to some of BTS' best songs.

   Then you figure out that the basis of the song is the 52-hertz Whale, the loneliest whale in the world. The story goes, a scientist discovered a lone whale in the Pacific who sang at the frequency of 52 hz. And whales can only hear up to about 40hz. So none could ever hear it sing. But it sang its song throughout the ocean, nonetheless.

   What genius! Why aren't there more songs about this?!? Isn't it the perfect basis for a song? Then, they added alien to the word! The very spirit of feeling disassociated, unfamiliar, remote... unheard. The incredible word play that BTS is known for, on full display. How could you not love this song? It's not a trite boyband love song, but rather, a scream from the soul, much like whale song. Reaching out to those around the world who can "hear" this level of loneliness and want. And doing what BTS has always done... Letting the listener know they can "hear" you, too. And they share your fears. And they're in this with the rest of the world. But we are together. Our lonely songs in the dark aren't in vain. They will be rewarded with time, as in all else. Keep singing, no matter who hears, because your song is also valid and necessary in the world.

   So, if you haven't heard this song, it's off of their HYYH (The Most Beautiful Moment in Life) pt 2 album. Released all the way back in November, 2015. Go listen immediately. It's obviously one of my favorite songs in the world. And I would love to share it with everyone. Even while we're all singing our own songs. ❄👸

PS: if you have any questions about how we interpreted something, or just want to relate interpretations of your own, feel free to let us know. Here or on our Instagram page 🙏

   Jeon Jungkook is a bit of a special case, among Bangtan. While we're sure there are haters, they're not our focus today. You've already seen with the other 6 members how they've fought through outside negativity and come through brighter, on the other side. With Jungkook, we'll focus on his kindness. Because you'd be hard-pressed to find a nicer guy.

    Everyone knows JK came to BTS very young and has grown up with the other members. Basically, you could say he's a reflection of all 6. And he has said it. From his song, Begin, he lets you know that what hurts him isn't people saying mean things to him, but rather, hurting his hyungs. That's a genuinely kind person. Maybe it's because they are all a part of him, though. We know he has Jin's sense of humor and fun. There's Yoongi's calmness under pressure. He's developing Namjoon's leadership abilities. He has soaked up Hobi's skill and dedication to dancing. He's become more open and vulnerable, like Jimin. And he's certainly got some quirkness all his own, ala Taehyung. What an amalgamation he's turned out to be 😁

    His kindness shows often, when they're outside. As much as he's a physical, athletic kind of guy, he's caring and gentle. From the times he's been seen helping clean up venues, to the care he takes for staff filming them, and his kindness towards fellow idols. He seems a little shy, but he'll be the first to follow support staff around and help them out. He's also just very considerate of his own members. He loves to play around with them, truthfully. But watch and you'll notice he's always careful to not hurt them. Because, let's face it, they're all smaller than he is, now! 😁

   Lastly, our Golden Maknae is skilled in many ways. Singing, dancing, smart, good-looking, athletically competent... Truly "golden" for a reason. But despite every reason not to be, he's humble. He performs all his roles more than adequately, but there's no sense he feels anything but happy to be a part of BTS. He's content to fulfill his position in the group, eager to, even. We know he was devastated when he got hurt and couldn't perform in Europe. As much for letting his brothers down as for letting ARMY down. And of course no one else thought that. It was an accident. But he got to be in the position of being comforted for a change. This time, his own vulnerability may have allowed him to see that his everyday actions are both needed and appreciated.

   All we can say is Jeon Jungkook is a brilliant piece of humanity. Whether he came that way already. Was molded by his real and bangtan families. Or has worked his butt off, on his own, to become this wonderful example of a man. He exemplifies our concept this week. Love Yourself, be kind to yourself and to all that's around you, and live well. That's all you have to do. Then we can be Golden ARMY, reflecting back on our group, as a beautiful example for the world. Keep trying and keep loving yourself. We can do it!
