#FACE by #JIMIN

Circle of Resonance Reflection of vulnerable minds and unexpected wounds. An echo, tremor and small movement to reach you. Waves originated from the deepest invisible inner world, pass through the face on the surface and reach others to resonate while transmitting the inner voice. Wave spreads beautifully, finding its own flow despite wounds and distortions from a smallest scratch. The face of unwavering effort despite repeated fails and pain. Face is the debut studio album of South Korean singer Jimin of BTS. Released on March 24, 2023, through Big Hit Music, it is primarily a pop, hip hop, and R&B record, with Pdogg, Ghstloop, and Evan responsible for production. Comprising five songs, all co-written by Jimin, and one instrumental, the album was heavily inspired by the emotional impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Jimin as a person and performer and addresses "themes of loneliness, wrestling with oneself, and finding freedom".[4] Two singles were released in support of Face: the lead single "Set Me Free Pt. 2" and its accompanying music video preceded the album on March 17, while a second second single, "Like Crazy", and its music video premiered simultaneously with the album's release. K-Pam’s take: FACE further reveals the duality of Park Jimin – how his persona could turn from cute to sexy, wholesome to daring, playful to profound, light to dark. This album talks to me straight from the heart and hits me on the right spot. I am a person who acknowledges my weaknesses, and am not ashamed to show my vulnerabilities to the world. Because despite failures and heartaches, we continue to rise to the surface and share our struggles to others, to be heard and to inspire. TRACKS 1. Face-off 2. Interlude: Dive 3. Like Crazy 4.

Yet To Come

MY TIME WILL COME. Seeing FB and IG posts and tweets of people having the time of their lives now in Seoul or Busan, even visiting #MAGNATE, Jimin's father's cafe, reminds me that this BTS #YetToComeinBUSAN concert is my TOTGA 😥

Since I retired from employment last May, I have been planning to go to SK with my family this October. I wanted to visit during autumn as it is my favorite season. In fact, some docs were already prepared (including my bank cert showing xxx digits 😁). Unfortunately, there were a lot of considerations (timing, embassy issues, family schedules, among others) that I had to give up the dream for now 😭 It would have been another dream come true and doubly special if I were to visit the Land of Kdrama and Kpop and watch the boys live at the same time, even for just once in this lifetime. To reward and comfort myself after all those challenging, heartbreaking moments in the past. 

Sadness is eating me now though. Omg, it is sinking in, I tried not to mind it at all for quite a while 😥 Anyways, I am still wishing everyone, BTS and Armys all over the world all the best. As early as now, #JiminDay2022 congratulations on this awesome concert on Oct 15! And cheers for the #WorldExpo2030BusanKorea! 곧 뵙겠습니다 god boebgessseubnida

If I Never Met You...

"Don't worry for not being with us in the beginning, the day you found us is the day we debuted for you..."  - Min Yoongi 😻 

BTS has been around for 9 years but as they say, you will find them at the right time. True enough, they came into my life when I needed them the most. I was struggling with my health issues early 2021. At that time, I didn't know what was happening to me, going back and forth to doctors. In the meantime, I started to have cardio workouts with their music, got acquainted with their danceable hits, and I just thought, ililigtas nitong mga batang ito ang buhay ko. I never thought there would be mornings na pasayaw-sayaw ako with Dionysus or Boy with Luv or Mic Drop 😄

Tita, sino ung may green na mic sa BTS. Napopogihan ako, I found myself telling my Army sister. Took a while before I could tell who is who, parang magkakamukha silang lahat, you get my drift...Pag walang green mic, d ko na makilala ung napopogihan ko. Then, after a while, ahhh iba yung mata. And that sealed the luv affair. Yes, it was V (Taehyung).

Then I was diagnosed with AD and MDD. I was plunging into darkness, falling into the dark side. But still, there they were, pulling me out. And for this, I will forever be grateful. BTS does not know it, but they really saved my life just by being BTS. Their music, their presence, their talent, their good looks, their values, what they stand for...their humor, the closeness, the positivity and loving yourself...it's been a while since NKOTB na nagbuhos ako ng panahon to a band...and I just kept on being saved.

Never mind if I came in late. Ok lang. Ok na ko dun. 

Thank you kahit sandali pa lang akong Army. Purple became more meaningful to me. Sobra-sobra na ang ginawa ninyong pagsagip sa buhay ko. Yung keeping me sane and mentally safe during the pandemic...how you took me out of the dark many times...yun lang sapat na. Na I even got to meet fellow Armys, keber na sa age hahaha

Making us proud with your achievements (Blue House, UN, White House), yung journey ninyo over the years. Ibang klase. Pag pinapanuod ko sila, naiisip ko, hindi ba sila napapagod? Hindi naman na sila mga teenager para humataw nang ganun hahaha yung PTD concert lang eh...Hindi ba sila nagsasawa? Yung halos araw araw, ganun ang ginagawa nila? So ayun na nga...napapagod nga rin sila...

But they are doing this beautifully...gumawa na sila ng marami para marami tayong baon while they're pursuing their dreams individually...

Si Proof pa lang (na akala ko magkakaworld tour na uli)...

Looking forward to their solo albums, solo projects...Wooga Squad!!!

Finding the balance between whom we wish to be and whom we need to be. Ibigay na natin sa kanila. Sabi nga, if you want to find the trail, if you want to find yourself, you must explore your dreams alone...perhaps this is what they need at this point.

I wasn't with them in the beginning

But I will be, until the end and

For the rest of my life...

And this I think is more important to me 😭

Run free, boys...

Don't worry...when you look back, you will find us just right behind you...
