Yea Jimin’s dad is very cringeworthy, but does anyone else find it strange the “calico cat” mascot merch Jimin’s dad is selling b/c “calico cat” is a reference to Jimin?

A calico cat is almost 100% always a female cat you guys…And the rare times it’s male, it’s always a sterile, “intersex” male calico with two X chromosomes. (XXY)

Jimin is referenced as a calico cat in Serendipity as well as in Suchwita when Jimin was promoting FACE. There are probably even more notable references, but those are the 2 that I am aware of.
What did you expect ?he have a picture of his son that show his abs in his cafe'..

He is also described as an "alley cat..." (Meaning in slang: a promiscuous person...)

Wow…didn’t know that.
If you Google "alley cat..." "alley cat jimin..." appears on top... (interestingly intriguing)...
Here are some results...

Speaking of Jimin and Calico Cat, I found this, lol:
View attachment 108960
Apparently some people speculate that Jimin is referred to as a calico cat b/c male calicos are so rare they are considered lucky- and Jimin is that “one-of-a-kind calico”. Also the fact that you can’t breed male calico cats with female cats (b/c they are sterile) further underscores their “one-of-a-kind” nature; male calicos can’t reproduce future generations. I have also been told that “Jimin” is considered a gender-neutral name, being quite common for girls.
I think some Korean names are unisex, as both sexes can have the same name.


In the girlgroups Lovelyz, there is also a Jin (Park Myung Eun, but she legally changed it to Park Ji-woo. In aespa there's Karina (Yu Jimin), and in AOA there's Shin Jimin.

BTS’s Jungkook And V Sue Malicious YouTuber “Sojang”...


I mean dispatch is also spreading rumour but they won't sue them is it bcz rumour are in their favour. Or what she said was true. V statement saying will earn some snacks money is bullying. According to me they should sue saseng also but they won't, they knew details who are following them who are invading their privacy but will play victim card on vlives.

BH also own Dispatch so anything that's posted I consider kind of suspect. Because I wonder to myself why BH wouldn't filter negative news about their artists, but maybe they aren't legally allowed to.

South Koreans are real big on freedom of information, even more so than Americans at times.

He's a huge pusher of that brand, so seeing this is like, whoa.....
Whenever business companies hire personalities/celebrities to promote products or services for them, there is usually a contract or agreement signed by these personalities/celebrities that stipulates that, if for any reason, an occurrence that tarnishes the image or reputation of these celebrities/personalities, the companies reserve the right to terminate their services as soon as the product/service is put in jeopardy.

Samsung is obviously protecting its brand from probable or existential threat to its business interests or security...

The AYS show is literally a J!k00k fanservice, nothing more, nothing less. I'm sick of those two together honestly. And I don't even get why the label pushes that pairing, considering that T@ek00k are actually the most popular ship. Why push the ship that's most popular, where the money will be?

That's not something I'd say to even my closest friends. It's really not funny.
Its cringe either way
Also BTS is losing it
Flop era
