Pride Festival In Korea:

🌈 Pride Festival in Korea:

— Today I attended the Pride Festival in Daegu, the stronghold of conservatism in South Korea.

As a journalist and a queer person, I was very interested in taking part in a pride event outside of Seoul. In short: despite the resistance, the LGBT community came.

The activist said that many passers-by supported the festival with applause, but there were also opponents. We should all be very proud of people who bravely stand up for themselves🥹 Be yourself and always follow your compass❤️

LOVE WINS ALL ❤️

BTS attending one of these parades would be EPIC! Maybe one day. ❤️

Vmin is my happy place! They are the epitome of friendship goals! They are so entertaining with their genuine joyful mischievous nature and they make your heart feel warm with their deep respect and love for one another. If I'm feeling stressed or down, I just watch a Vmin compilation to perk me back up! They are my medicine! 💜

There are far too many beautiful Vmin moments to capture, but my favourites are of course BV2 letter and the entirety of BV4! MY bestie will NOT massage my butt!!

I loved that Jimin wanted to write a song about their frienship. I hope we really do get another Vmin song as promised in the future! Here is an english subtitled version to their performance of Friends. 🎶 💜

Jimin showing up and participating in Tae's fan meeting was so much fun. If you haven't watched it you should. Jimin's appearance is at the 16 min mark!

Here is a Vmin channel I like to peruse every now and then. Have a look at this playlist and tell me what you think? Do you have a Vmin channel or page you really like?

VMIN FOR HEALING

What are your favourite Vmin moments? I love their cuddliness. 🤗 💜

Who doesn't love Taegi? That these two incredibly different men have great respect and love for one another is such a beautiful thing. They are so fun to watch. Let's enjoy some Taegi! 🐯 😺 💜

Here is a thread on how Yoongi indulges Tae. Such a good hyung.

One of my favourite Taegi gifs

And of course Suchwita. Tae was so candid in this interview and so appreciative of Yoongi. Seeing Yoongi become awkward with Tae's outpouring of love was everything. Check it out if you have not.

I love this Taegi shipping channel. Yes, they might insinuate a romantic side to Taegi, though it's not obvious. This channel makes great videos that show their bond with great, fun moments you have probably missed. Check it out if you miss them.

Taehyung is an inspiration of being an authentic, creative, organic, and true to yourself artist. He doesn't chase money and fame, they chase him. He has come from being a hidden member with the least amount of exposure to a global superstar phenomenon. 😎 He is ART.

How does he toggle between these looks so beautifully and effortlessly?

Time to listen to the no skip masterpiece Layover if you haven't already.
