What A Nice Little Story To Stumble Across. I May Try To Invest More Time In Finding Positive Posts To

What a nice little story to stumble across. I may try to invest more time in finding positive posts to read. The current climate of my timeline here is less-than-stellar.

BTS fans win justice for translators at British Museum, there will now be policies to make certain they are credited for their work

British Museum agrees to pay translator whose work it used without permission | CNN

A translator whose work was used by the British Museum without her permission reached a settlement with the institution following two months

QUICK COMBO: WHERE YOU FROM | OUTRO: HER | TOO MUCH

My thoughts on this QC:

Something that kept sticking with me as I listened to Too Much was the clear perspective in the lyrics. Many pieces of artistic work are delivered through first-person language but still encompass other parties' view points. That is not the feeling that I get when listening to Too Much. It's very much telling the story of this relationship by how the speaker is effected and not necessarily the other person.

Now Where You From and Outro: Her may not be so strongly from this perspective in Korean but the English translations definitely leave me with that impression as well. Listening to these three together tells a story of benign interest in Where You From, a shaky relationship in Outro: Her and inevitable implosion in Too Much.

(side note: normally I would have cropped out the photographer from the Outro: Her gif but I felt it leans into this story line of perception)

Ok... but does someone need to help break JK from a curse or something? Not EVERY song he releases has to have numeric handsigns. I smell some witchcraft afoot... is there some ritual we need to perform to release him from this constraint??
