About themselves: “Jimin has a particular passion for the stage and really thinks about performance, and in that sense, there are many things to learn from him,” J-Hope says. “Despite all the things he has accomplished, he still tries his best and brings something new to the table, and I really want to applaud him for that.”
For Jimin V is “loved by so many” and describing him as one of his best friends. Suga jumps in, sharing that Jimin and V fight the most among the group. V replies, “We haven’t fought in three years!” They tell me this distinction now belongs to Jin and Jung Kook, the oldest and youngest members. “It all starts as a joke, but then it gets serious,” Jimin says.
Jin agrees and recounts what their arguments sound like. “Why did you hit me so hard?” he says, before mimicking Jung Kook’s response: “I didn’t hit you that hard.” And then they start hitting each other. But not that hard.
Suga about masculinity: “There is this culture where masculinity is defined by certain emotions, characteristics. I’m not fond of these expressions. What does being masculine mean? People’s conditions vary day by day. Sometimes you’re in a good condition; sometimes you aren’t. Based on that, you get an idea of your physical health. And that same thing applies mentally. Some days you’re in a good state; sometimes you’re not. Many pretend to be okay, saying that they’re not ‘weak,’ as if that would make you a weak person. I don’t think that’s right. People won’t say you’re a weak person if your physical condition is not that good. It should be the same for the mental condition as well. Society should be more understanding.”
Jin about Queen "Spring Day": “I think that song really represents me, I like to look to the past and be lost in it. It is about a sad event, as you said, but it is also about longing.”
[“Spring Day” was released just a few years after the sinking of the Sewol ferry, one of the country’s biggest maritime disasters, in which a poorly inspected, overloaded ferry toppled in a sharp right turn. Hundreds of high school students drowned, having obeyed orders to stay in their cabins as the boat was going down. According to some reports, the South Korean government actively tried to silence entertainers who spoke out against it, with the Korean Ministry of Education fully banning the tragedy’s commemorative yellow ribbons in schools. The song kept the disaster front of mind for young Koreans and for the media, indirectly leading to the impeachment and removal of then president Park Geun-hye.]
Namjoon about ARMY: “We and our ARMY are always charging each other’s batteries. When we feel exhausted, when we hear the news all over the world, the tutoring programs, and donations, and every good thing, we feel responsible for all of this. We’ve got to be greater; we’ve got to be better. All those behaviors always influence us to be better people, before all this music and artist stuff.”
About dating: Dave Holmes (the interviewer) asks “Are you? Is there time? Can you?” and the answer to all of them is pretty clear: “No.” “The most important thing for us now is to sleep,” Jung Kook insists. Suga follows right up with “Can you see my dark circles?”. “Our love life—twenty-four hours, seven days a week—is with all the ARMYs all over the world,” RM adds.
About getting respect in America:
For Jin: “How can we win everyone’s respect? I think it’s enough to get respect from people who support us. It’s similar everywhere else in the world. You can’t like everyone, and I think it’s enough to be respected by people who really love you.”
Suga: “You can’t always be comfortable, and I think it’s all part of life. Honestly, we are not used to getting a ton of respect from when we first started out. But I think that gradually changes, whether it be in the States or other parts of the world, as we do more and more.”
They won the awards for "Favorite Social Artist" and "Favorite Duo or Group - Pop/Rock" on the American Music Awards last night.

I'm a bit disappointed they muted the colors on the photos because these outfits are vribrant AF, I want all the coats. The article is quite interesting. In his shoot, Jimin looks so pretty ❤
I'll edit this post once the performances are online because for now we have the BANGTAN fancam.
Did you watch ? What did you think ?

Date: 2020-11-23 02:26 pm (UTC)i want to CLIMB kim seokjin (and then steal his coat)!!! gorgeous human being, actual model, etc. etc. i'm a broken record
the styling for this shoot is so good! one of my fave shoots for them maybe??
i love yoongi's quote on mental health and masculinity... a few days to late for my masculinities seminar unfortunately lol but i always love it when he gets thoughtful like this
so their ama performance was prerecorded?
no subject
Date: 2020-11-23 02:53 pm (UTC)Well now, everybody is on fire today, what's happening? It's because Winter is coming?
The styling is on point, it's good to see them in colors and they didn't edit their beauty moles (I know I always talk about them but I am obsessed). And their skin <3
But damn Jimin could have twisted his ankles with these heels.
You go boys, run over these clichés about masculinity (and when men who can't be bothered to wash their feet talk about real masculinity I'm like no thank you I like people who smell nice)
Yeah they recorded some performances with Yoongi in the end of October (GMA today and late show with Corden tonight) but I don't think promo will be long and they don't seem to want doing it without Yoongi (which is nice).
no subject
Date: 2020-11-23 03:49 pm (UTC)i also loved that they didn't edit their moles! i didn't even know yoongi had them! their skin looks gorgeous
ah ok thanks for clarifying! ugh i am not into them again going on corden :(( don't like that man, but hope we'll see grandpa yoongi and jin represented again
will they be promoting on korean music shows too, as far as you know?
no subject
Date: 2020-11-23 04:13 pm (UTC)They did some for ON so maybe ? Music Core, Bank and Inkigayo would be great, but then again it's not a song with chore so maybe not ? Lol that was helpful.
At least Corden like them so it's not that awkward. King Jin seems to like Fallon better.

Date: 2020-11-23 05:08 pm (UTC)lol i'm also just lazy asking you! Maybe they'll do some promo next week
i used to dislike all the american jimmy and jameses from night tv but i liked their week on fallon, fallon seemed relatively chill. jin has good taste as always (although his personal stylistic choices can be messy)

Date: 2020-11-23 02:49 pm (UTC)i like the styling and they all look good in the esquire shoot. j-hope looks a little off on the cover pic and i don't absolutely love jungkook's hair styled slicked back that way but the rest are nice. jin always looks impeccable and the side profile shot of taehyung is the standout for me
