I Just Wanted To Give My Thoughts About The James Corden/BTS Situation. If You Dont Want To Hear It,

I just wanted to give my thoughts about the James Corden/BTS situation. If you don’t want to hear it, then you can leave.

I, personally, had a problem with the 15 year-old girl joke. I think it was degrading to both armys and bts themselves. We’re not all stalker-obsessed, hormonal teenagers, you know what I’m saying. It was degrading to BTS because, to me, they have some of the most mature and complex music I’ve ever seen. They’ve talked about topics that other artists don’t even think to write about and I think their music is a good introduction to certain topics for people of a younger audience, where they can then do their own research and learn something new. But it has the maturity level to be a conversation between grown adults. (I hope that made sense)

That being said, personally, I was initially more in shock that he said it, rather then being mad about it. I got over it kinda quickly and was kinda curious about how it would turn out in the future. I was more upset about that article that Billboard put out, than I was about this situation.

I think it rubbed a lot of people the wrong way because for so long now, even tho BTS has grown so big, the image of army for some reason stayed the same, almost. There are way more armys that just stay in their place, support the artists, support other armys, support people BTS work with, and strive to make change in this world. For some reason, all of that is over-shadowed by people who send death threats, people who just do extremely dumb shit, sasaengs, and every other bad stigma you may have faced. I don’t think people expected James to make that joke when he was in fact talking about the UN assembly. But also, like he said in the most recent interview, he was quite literally taking a jab at himself too, bc he himself is an army. The disconnect came from the fact that we don’t know how James truly feels about BTS behind the scenes. It felt like James was just somebody who was using BTS for clout.

I think the joke about “unusual guests” just wasn’t presented well and the fact that it was in the same punch line, made it guilty-by-associations. BTS still do get genuine racist, and degrading hate from people today. I think if James would’ve elaborated the joke in a way to include the part where ‘no artist has ever performed at the UN assembly’ it may have gone over a bit better. Again tho, guilty-by-association. However, this joke kinda went in-one-ear-and-out-the-other for me.

ALL OF THAT BEING SAID, I never once felt that James said something so morally wrong that his ratings should drop or that he should death treats. NEVER EVER EVER. Nobody ever deserves that, it doesn’t matter what they did. Too many people today immediately wish death upon others, without any remorse of what they just said. NEVER EVER. It’s not okay to do, ever. I genuinely feel bad that James had to go through that and I hope that it wasn’t too much of a detriment to him in his personally life. I think the situation was handled very maturely last night. I’m glad James opened up about his side of the situation and that he consolidated with BTS in person. I’m glad we have a leader as great as Kim Namjoon himself because he just showed so many people how easy it is to: let the heat die down, talk about it civically and let it go. The members have talked about how part of the reason why they get along so well is because they wouldn’t go to bed until they sat down and talked about the problem. That’s what happened last night. A lot of people let go last night, which is something they should’ve done on their own, but some people need  guidance. I genuinely believe that James does truly support BTS and I think that him and the boys truly have a genuine friendship. I hope James is being sent a lot of love and support and APOLOGIES from the people who sent him really mean stuff.

To anybody who hated James Cordon’s guts or sent him death threats. Anger and betrayal is something that can make anybody go blind. It’s hard to control. But it never gives you the right to treat somebody else like that. You should genuinely reflect on how you felt or anything you may have said. Apologize, if you did say anything. Learn how to respond differently next time. It takes a lot of time and work, but nobody is inherently filled with that much hate and lack of self control. You can do better.

I don’t know if my thought truly came through in this post, but that’s my take on the situation. I apologize if I came off as brash or if something doesn’t make sense. I don’t have anybody to talk about it with in my real life, except for with my mom (lolz). We’ve talked about it plenty.

Get well soon, Jin and Namjoon. 💜💜 We love you. Come back to us healthy and please take your time.

Here’s a shrine for our strongest, bestest boy for a strong, quick and healthy recovery. Get well soon, Yoongi. 💜💜 feel free to add on.

Last things for the day; I figured out how to say it.

The reason why BTS at the Harry Styles concert, having the time of their lives, jamming with Lizzo, feeling the music in their bones, and everything else that came with it was so heart warming, is because it’s exactly the type of message that they’re trying and have been putting out. BTS themselves are breaking barriers, connecting, and helping people with music, despite the language they sing in. Seeing them experience their own goal/passion/message for somebody else is just… euphoric 😭

I dont think jhope has a alcohol intolerance because he says in the vlive he likes whiskey which is 2 twice as strong as soju. Being Red from drinking is normal to. But It’s surely an interesting idea that he could have another reason why he doesn’t handle alcohol well 🤗

Yeah 😅 the more I wrote, the more there were points that went back and forth. I wasn’t trying to imply that he does have it, but it kinda turned out that way. 😔 It’s also difficult bc people can have different levels of intolerance. But I do know a lot of people that react to alcohol very differently, no matter how the type, amount, preference so...

It was more just supposed to be “Hey, look at this interesting thing I know.” and an ice-breaker for my blog, so that’s why I ended talking about Jhope too. But I do appreciate the feedback. I was probably reaching a bit in that post, sorry about that.

:D :) ^^ :) :D :) :) :)

Just a little something I’ve noticed in the past few months 🤩 so sweet 🥺
