Pleeeeease let the new song be a solid one, I want this to be fun and good so badly! Massively weirded out by the idea of BTS and Pete Davidson existing in the same frame.

(Dope would've been such a perfect match for SNL ugh)

Maybe they can replace him entirely. V could be a great Chad.

"They may be BTS but I am BDE ah hyuk ah hyuk"

He is just...so...unfortunate looking.

This comment reminded me that he's the same age as Yoongi. Jin is actually older than him! It's mean to go after people's looks I know but HOW

[rosiemotleymind.livejournal.com]

When I found out I was older than him I was actually shook. I’m sure if he...like...took care of himself? He would look decent? Possibly?

The bar has never been lower for a man's ability to take care of himself so I'm sure it would make a huge difference. We'll probably never live to see it but it's nice to dream of the possibilities.
