Konnichi wa everyone! I am a long time lurker and felt the need to come out of the cyber corner to introduce myself. I am a somewhat timid person. Just to give you an example, when I first started to play WoW several years ago, I was so darn shy that when a NPC talked to me, I ran off really scared and sweating not realizing that it was not a real person. *facepalm*
Anyway, I have never been into k-pop with the exception of Sad promise remix from Davichi and Ashily with the BoF "lucky." I didn't care for the rest of the BOF soundtrack because it was too poppy for me. I listened mostly indie music like Adult Child and Nell (they made a video "Good Night" where I learned that most SK prefer k-pop over k-indie) and some music from Anime such as Ikimono Gakari and some other j-indie/rock.
The first time I heard about the guys was from a VC article about BS&T on the heavy symbolism in their video. After reading the article, I didn't care for them until I read an article last year that the guys were coming to the States. I was curious and watched them perform in Ellen and that Kimmel guy. I was drawn into their choreography since I love to dance and the music from Mic Drop wasn't too poppy. It took me a while to get into DNA since I would only listen to Mic Drop.
Then, I started to watch RUN episodes and I was completely hooked due to their "personalities." I found myself listening to their music most of the time even DNA. I don't consider myself ARMY but I couldn't get enough of laughing at their antics and dancing up a storm. I had completely forgotten that VC did an article on BS&T so when I saw that video, I thought, Wait a min! That looks so familiar!" I went to look for the article but it was gone. I know some users here mentioned that they tried to look for it but it was deleted.
I learned a lot about how the Kpop industry works and it saddens me that it has a perfect illusion about being rich and famous. I wonder if j*hope regrets coming back and now he is trapped. About r*m, i know some ppl mentioned that he was such a nice person and smiling at his fans. That is the thing about satanists. Roger Morneau had stated how he was invited to a Satanic church and expected people to be all goth. To his amazement, the satanists were clean cut people that were lawyers, doctors, business people, judges, etc. Satanists people also tends to be "nice" ppl that cares about the world. Look at Gates and other billionaires. Some ppl praise him for donating $$$ to help mankind and respect him not realizing that there is a sinister reason why he is doing it. EG. Polio vaccines in India and other countries. R*m and others are putting up a facade of being nice people.
Just wanted to mention that I find it odd that Tae lost so much weight in a short amt of time. I recall in a video that he stated that he was happy that he had gained weight. I remember thinking it was strange since mgmt monitor their diet. Then, Hopeful mentioned that the bandages could be due to lipo. So, could it be perhaps a method of torture by allowing him to eat a lot and then force him into starving and getting a lipo? If that is true, how wicked! The other members must know about it and were prob keeping an eye on him in case he fainted or something. He is prob drinking water because the painkillers are making him thirsty? That is pretty sad. Sorry for the long post.
