you can still radiate light if you’re sad. you can still be kind and soft-hearted if you’re a bit cynical. you don’t need to be the happiest person to make someone else’s day better.
who in nct do you think you would get along with best, and who do you think you wouldn’t get along with at all?

(to a listener’s message) jonghyun: when your tears are falling just let them shed. i wish you’ll think of it as if that weight inside your heart is getting out of your body drop by drop, like that.
blue night radio - 150830 jonghyun: i think it’s okay to feel lost in your life. i think it’s okay not to reach that final goal (in your life). you may earn things while being lost or could make something out of it through the emotions you feel. i think it should be your judgement. you don’t have to make someone else judge the satisfaction of your life. i hope that you don’t feel too anxious about feeling lost in your life.

The mistreatment of Jin - a BigHit callout post
A lot of people seem to think that BigHit could never do wrong and know what’s best for BTS. They think BigHit and BTS are a “family”. Well it’s time to wake up..! BigHit isn’t any better when compared to big companies like SM or YG for example. They’re just as problematic like K-Pop companies often tend to be. The perfect example of this is how they’ve been treating Jin these past 4 years.
!! - a few of these facts are just borderline emotional abuse..
okay, let’s get started:
- Apparently Bang-PD walked around calling Jin fat???? wtf (this was 2013, before their debut and around the same time Jin went on a diet no one talks about where he only ate chicken breast for A YEAR.)
- And guess what? Bang-PD isn’t the only one who has called Jin fat: even his manager did. Fortunately they fired him because he was mistreating Jungkook.
- Jin majored in acting but in the House of ARMY, he got all the insignificant roles with basically zero dialogue. Yoongi even said Seokjin had texted him, shocked that he didn’t have any dialogue in the script. In the Making of-video he was clearly pissed: when the camera man said they’ll be filming Jin next he said “Oh, wow. Do I get to appear alone?” asdfghjkl. Jin was salty, but tried so hard to be positive. (he even avoided looking straight into the camera while they were interviewing him.. on the inside he was definitely feeling wronged.)
- Let’s be honest. BigHit could easily push him in the OST direction or debut him as an actor if they wanted, but no.
- Jin was once forced to perform even though he had hurt his neck in Kcon Paris. BigHit never made an official report about his condition… (it’s funny how they made a report about namjoon’s toe and suga’s ear but not this.)
- Now let’s talk about his LINES. Remember Blood, Sweat and Tears where he had to share his few lines with Jimin? That was the most unnecessary thing ever. (later in the japanese ver. they made jin’s voice stand out more than jimin’s. lol I guess even BigShit felt a bit guilty??) I’ve seen people trying to defend this by saying that it’s okay because Jin was the ~Main Character~ in the MV. But honestly, where is the logic in that? BTS are a K-pop group! Their voices are the most important thing about them!
- Jin is the only one who didn’t get a single line in any of the year end 2016 special stages (rainism: jungkook, as i told you: jimin, v, jungkook & class idea: namjoon, hoseok, jungkook… suga wasn’t there because of his ear injury.) He was just a backup dancer and nothing else.
- Remember when people were hyping up Spring Day because apparently this was supposed to be the song where Jin would shine… even V said Jin would surprise us all and umm.. well he didn’t.
- BigHit removed Jin from the thumbnail of Not Today MV because ????
- Speaking of Not Today. Let’s talk about this fuck up…
- *coughs* This was his only solo shot and it lasted about 2 seconds. Really. BTS filmed for almost 24 hours in cold weather and you’re telling me this is the only shot of Jin that was “good enough”. I don’t think so, because we saw the Behind the scenes-video and they were filming Jin quite a lot. They just didn’t use the clips.
- They keep telling Jin his voice is suited for ballads, but Butterfly was a ballad and he was once again the vocal who had the least amount of lines. (and some of them were not even lines like repeating “untrue” is.. not really a line)
- … so basically the ballad comment was just some bs excuse, let’s be real no one fits only 1 type of music. Plus here are some Bangtan’s slower/not hiphop songs I think Jin’s voice could easily be fitted in but he still got the least amount of lines: Spring Day Studio Version, Miss Right, YNWA, Just One Day, Outro: Propose, House of Cards, Coffee…
- Now the most recent fuck up is BTS’ cover of Seo Taiji’s song ‘Come Back Home’ and people are still debating whether Jin has ANY lines at all. The MV for the song was uploaded to CJENMMUSIC’s official youtube and their header was changed to a… group photo… of BTS… except Jin was nowhere to be seen. The fact that they forgot Jin is unbelievable and just plain disrespectful. No product should ever be released without approval and double check. None. And while we don’t know if BigHit had anything to do with the header, whose fault it is that even these other companies tend to forget Jin because they aren’t promoting him enough? This was not a simple mistake. It means that design and marketing teams from HUGE companies like CJEN don’t see him.
I once had a line of two customers when I was a cashier, and the first one was paying in dimes and quarters. Not a huge order, just $2.15.
Queue the second customer. She walks up and asks aggressively “Are you new here?”
I reply, taken aback “No ma'am. I’ve been here for about two years.”
“I thought you would have been faster by now,” she snaps back.
Well, I was already having an off-day, so I decided to get a little petty. She slides her card, and immediately I hit ‘Cancel’ on my register. She tries again. I hit ‘Cancel’ again. Slide. Cancel. Slide. Cancel.
By the fifth time, she’s turning her card over in her hand and asking “What the HELL is wrong with my card??”
I reach over, taking it from her hand and ask “Have you had this card a long time, ma'am?”
“Yeah, why?”
I slide the card through without any problem (obviously), and hand it back politely. “I thought you would have known how to slide it by now.”
Her face sunk, probably realizing but probably not. She left, and I proceeded to tell my manager out of guilt in case the woman complained, and my manager high-fives me but then tells me to NEVER do that again.
*gives a 30 minute TEDx talk in the shower*
most common thought: damn haha im going to have to deal with that sooner or later
blue night radio ♡ 170329 translation: cosmicsticks ■ go young bae: what is blue night to jonghyun today? ■ jonghyun: stretch marks. why do you think we have stretch marks? it’s when we grow all of a sudden. it’s hard to get rid of them and, even if you try to revert to your previous image, i think what remains is those marks. to that extent …, when there’s a sudden change that cuases growth, even though it causes me some pain, isn’t blue night something that leaves me with that much? growing pains, growth, and evidence of it? (…) i think i speak really well.
I used to get upset and angry when people didn’t treat me the way I treated them. When I’d be there for friends but they left me in my time of need, when I gave people so much of my love and time and they didn’t reciprocate. I felt drained and frustrated. But now I’ve realised, it’s so freeing when you no longer expect anything from people. Do good, treat others well, love people even though you may get nothing in return. Life is about what you give, not what you receive.
