JK Live - 9/1

My Birthday (귀 빠진 날)

Hi!
Okay...
Hi everyone
It's Jungkook
One sec one sec
Can you hear the sound?
ok ok ok
Hi everyone, today is the day my ear fell off

*귀 빠진 날 (gwee bbajin nal): literally "the day my ear fell off", a Korean saying that refers to when a baby is birthed, their ears are still soft and sorta pressed into their head (looks like they don't have any ears) and over time, their ears grow out - so sometimes people refer to the day of birth as the day their ear popped off.... but tbh i have not heard this in a LONGGGG time loll

hellooo
Should do another live where ...we take it easy today?
I don't have cake so I couldn't blow out any candles...
Should I turn the birthday song on YouTube...?
Oh shoot yayyayayayaya
Can this take voice commands?

(he's fiddling with his TV remote control trying to see if he could speak the order into it; my guess is that probably in their temporary place in America, it had an apple TV with apple remote which supports voice commands)

Does it take voice commands?? Allow... hello?
1 2 3
1 2 3.. do you work?
..nope you do not
::typing happy birthday song on his remote::
Let's go to Jeju

This is Jung Kook
Hello...
I don't know how many times I've said hello atp
Today is my birthday (in Korean)
Today is my birthday (in English)
::tiny bunny claps::

Just cuz it's my birthday...
I mean I wasn't able to prepare anything elaborate/fancy right?...
Should I at least have gotten a cake?
Just doing a live is fine though right?

COMMENT HAPPY NEW YEAR timestamp
...oh?? thank you

🎶I got a piercing right heereeee ::points::
wait.. did i show you?
wait did I .. did I tell you? did i???
i don't remember..

I look red?? Maybe cuz the reflection from the screen?
I'm perfectly sober/normal lol

It's my birthday but there's nothing really to do... what should I do?

Well first - to my mom and dad, thank you for birthing me.
Thank you so much for birthing me in good health
I will live a good, healthy life
Mom and Dad, I hope you live a long healthy life doing everything you want

There's gotta be ARMY w/ the same birthday as me today for sure
Happy birthday [to you]
::bunny claps::

What do I do now? There's nothing to do...

Cardio? loll no I already did cardio twice today I'm out of energy

Aren't I thinner then two days ago? I keep losing weight - I might be a little bit thinner

This lip piercing suits me right??

Earlier today.. I was eating poke and I bit down on the back of the piercing and cracked my bottom tooth... and now it's sharp on an edge cuz it broke
..and today it chipped and I bit the part that chipped off..
but since it's just my tooth - I just ate it .. it was kinda like eating sand

FRIENDS. I AM CRYING. this man turned 28 today and ATE his tooth...and shared that with us. HE CANNOT GET ANY CUTER jaklfjgklajdf;glkaj. I am dedddd. 😂😭

it keeps bothering me... ughh

since it's my birthday - i gotta work harder
i'm 28 in international age - right?
i am 28...
still in my 20s though!

please make me an earring
...wouldn't that be too hard?

you're the only one in your 20s
...oh that's right i'm the only one in my 20s on the team hehh

what time is it here?
12:49

should i put on some lip balm?
my lips are dry

friends - fyi there's nothing special just cuz it's my birthday
it's just another day- on which i happened to be born

::applies lip balm::

i should turn down the music a bit
it might be difficult to interpret [what i'm saying if the music is too loud for the translation/subtitle feature]

so we can just.. spend time like this a bit..
how do you want to spend your 28th year?
wait.. so this upcoming year...
no wait..
until next september...

I mean I guess another year living diligently
I'd like another year in the books where I've spent it giving my utmost to everything I take on..

Happy birthday, John..?
bunny
i love you
thank you

a ring? there's no ring on my lip. OH cuz "ring" i see.. you right

In Korean, there are different words for the ring you put on your finger vs. something like a lip ring vs. an earring - but likely a non-Korean-speaking fan tried to point out his lip ring and used the word for a "ring" for your finger 반지(banji)

i love you too everyone
plans? plans? nope.. i don't have any

do you know how to sing today?
(this is an awkwardly translated comment from a fan that likely doesn't speak Korean but tried with a translation engine - probably intending to ask 'can you sing for us today?')

..i do know how to sing today but I didn't know I'd be singing today...

I worked out really hard today so I have no strength

Okay.. sleep Well
Yes I bought this hat
what time is it in Korea? it's 12:54

you look really tired ::yawns:: yea i'm tearing up rn...
Why do people always comment on how they look... and then act surprised at the fact that they're so mindful/sensitive about their physical appearance... 😑🙄

when was the last time anyone appreciated being told that they look tired? ESPECIALLY if this is true - this is when I LEAST appreciate being told I APPEAR as exhausted as I feel. BRUH I KNOW.

Today ..I didn't sleep very well last night
I was like tossing and turning
I think I fell asleep around 2 AM
I went to bed around 2 and kept tossing and turning
I woke up around 9 like, "Why can't I sleep?" and got a bit stressed
And then just woke up at 10am

Did cardio...
Went for a run for my cardio in the morning.. washed up
Then.. went for poke... then worked out again....
Lifted.. then as soon as I was done lifting I did more cardio...
Then went for kbbq...
Stopped by home real quick and...

I'm not eating cake.
The comments are so fast...
I don't have cake so I can't cut cake timestamp
hehe sorry sorry
I should've prepared a cake I guess

Oh there's a cake on the screen with ...::counts:: 11 candles.. so not the right number of candles.. ::yawns::
I am tired I guess - my eyes keep tearing up from yawning..

Oh and yea - I'm sure you've already seen the articles by now
A person came to visit my house...
I guess I'm a real celebrity now
PLEASE do not come. Please pleasee do not come to my house. Do you understand?
If you come into my parking lot - you cannot get out unless I let you out - you'll be trapped. I have CCTVs everywhere that record everything. If you don't want to go straight to the police, DO NOT COME HERE. Do you understand?

PLEASE GO TO SLEEP (comment)
thank you for ...being worried I guess but like I just want to hang out a bit longer so..

Friends - and here's the thing - I'm very confident my mooties are not these people so the right eyes are not reading this LMAO but I do feel the need to say it just to have it on record. They're grown adults that know their physical limits, their preferences, their boundaries, and their whims. Let them live their lives loll

oh oh! I saw that thing.. where was it again?
I saw on the Yongsan steps that my face was on the stairs - so I even considered doing the live from that location... but then thought maybe that'd be too much and I got a little scared [of the potential chaos that might ensue] and so I'm doing the live from my home

::snapping and dancing in bb bunny::

SIGH...
yea so i was watching from the CCTV.. the police officer arrived and was ...cuz the parking lot is underground.. I could hear the sound of their footsteps and I was watching the situation unfold.. the person like scurried and then opened the door and the police officer was waiting for them

I watched the whole thing..
This person said they were my friend ...SIGHHHH
SIGHHH... it's true that ARMY are friends/family but like..
it was a pity
while I appreciate encouragement...
wtf is that - coming here.. if you come here, your ONLY future is getting taken away by the authorities. I gave all the evidence and records to the police. Come if you want to get arrested.

안타까웠어요 (antakkgawuhssuhyo) = ugh such a pity/that sucks/sucked... spoken often when something unfortunate happens by like a small sliver - where one choice/step/move could've made the difference for the better/could've avoided a bad outcome

JK is momentarily grieving his safety, his sense of confidence in ARMY, this individual's future options as a result of this dumbass decision ...like someone had to get arrested. All this on his BIRTHDAY.

Stalkers and delusional fans chasing down these people will never be regarded by ANY idol/celebrity as some magical potential love interest or even potential friend. They'll be seen, with pity at best, for the MESS of a human that they've presented themselves to be.

responding to comments
I do love you all very much
Sure if you're tired head in - rest and go to school tomorrow

Why are you wearing a hat inside your house?
Cuz I've been wearing this hat all day... so I have no choice but to keep wearing it. If I take it off now - it will not be good...

run run run run
no no

I didn't drink though - why am I looking red? I think it might be the screen should I try turning it off?

::turns off screen::

Do I look the same? I do. ::turns screen/music back on::

AJSKG I'll sleep when I want.. goodness.. I guess I should stop yawning ... ugh I guess thanks.

I'm tired BUTTT I want to be heree .. I like just being here without talking.. doesn't it feel like we're together? This is nice.

I hung all my clothes ::points to empty rack of clothes::

run JK
do you feel good? yea I'm good
wish you...
members are sleeping? idk i didn't check on them
should we drink? ahh i don't drink as much anymore - like if* i do, maybe a glass of beer?

Should I sing...? I have no updated songs though
Okay.. you know what let's go to the basement...
🎶Let's get it in the basement... let's go to the basementttt

If we go on the elevator, the live will cut out so we have to take the stairs. whines in bb bunny

::Starts singing a trot song?::

Okay so that's the living room but I'm not gonna show you 찌롱*~ this is my choice 찌롱... I'm going down the stairs 찌롱...timestamp

something +찌롱 (jji rong): cute way of adding aegyo to a regular phrase

Example:

• 밥 먹었어 (bap mugguhsseo)= I ate
• 밥 먹었찌롱 (bap mugguhjji rong)= I ate + aegyo //maybe like I eateddd (like with silly/playful tone, don't mind the incorrect tense/etc. but focus on the tone)
  

little kids might speak this way on the playground with each other when they're making light of something, making fun of each other playfully or just being silly.

so here, he is being cutie maknae sillypants as he gently sing-talks that he will not be showing us his living room, that that's his choice, and that we are under his spell anyways loll

🎶continues singing that trot song and then asks himself why he's singing it... and then calls himself an ahjusshi

tadaa oh shoot it's been a long time
i moved the sofa out of the basement so i had to bring some chairs from upstairs...
there's no place to sit.. what do we do? ...there's always a way...
i gotta bring this guy [a rolling cart] from over there...

I'll put the ipad on the cart, adjust the lighting a bit.. and then ....it'll work like ...just like...::places ipad down and it's perfectly angled:: ::insah's::

it's too bright
and it's too hot.. why is it so hot when i had my AC on..
oh ...i did not have my AC on..

I feel like i'm doing nrb* after such a long time...
The settings are probably not updated...

nrb = noraebang = literally "music room" but it is the Korean word for "karaoke." "Karaoke" is Japanese. If you're ever suggesting karaoke to Koreans, I highly recommend using the term 'noraebang' if you can remember~

Does this work? does you work? ::turning on the karaoke and his sound system and grabbing the remote etc::

Probably the regular default settings right..?
Aishh it's so hott...

hehe

::testing the mic... ::

k~~
UGH i'm so hungry ...i'm so hungry and i'm hungry and...
chhh... echoooo ahhhh

this will make it super dark.. ::turns super dark::
oh it's updating [the noraebang machine]
oh shoot is this TOO dark?

yes sir yes it is lmao

should I change it slightly?
Let's see... basement level 1... slightlyyyy
Ooh should we make it purple? Oh this looks more blueee so we can make it slightly more purple.. oooh yaaa.. let's leave it like this - okay we're all set

"Inki Chart"
oh - why no works??
MACHINE: INKI CHART~
wait why isn't this working?? ::moving around the remote to try to get it to register::

i think the machine is off to the side and only the screen is in front so he's pointing his remote to the right

how rude... [re: the machine]
wowww Golden is #1 ::hums Golden::

::ends Still With You::

::doing vocal warm ups blowing raspberies - this is legit but it's super cute::

Golden is number 1 so.. 3D

🎶Sings 3D

🎶Sings Closer to You
I don't know if I'll remember the lyrics...
Okay like sooo~~

How many years has it been? Over 2 years I think? ::does JK air math:: I think like a year... 8 months... anywayyy it's been the first time in a LONGGG time - and I can kinda keep up since it shows the lyrics...

Okay next.. I'm doing this in order it pops up

Hate You

🎶Sings Hate You

Oh okay I'm hungry now so my stomach feels wigglyyy and I have no strength to sing - you know what I mean right ppl? I have noooo strengthhhh ajdkflgja;ldfjg

Ooh Please Don't Change.. .this one's a bit tricky too
🎶Sings Please Don't Change

[두 번째 곡은 'Sleeping'입니다]
배고프니까 이렇게 배가 간질간질해서 힘이 안 나는 거 알죠 여러분?
지금 힘이 다 빠졌어
그다음은요
보자 보자 보자
'Please don't change'
이것도 약간 위험하거든요
좀 위험한데
[라이브]
♪ I know that I know you're the way we do the same ♪
♪ Could you, could you please, please don't change ♪
♪ Please, please don't change ♪

Next... okay next is Seven
Let's go - good or bad - let's just go~~
🎶Sings Seven

Next should bee...
For sure - songs I've song MANY times are easier to sing. That's why people have to practice...

Shotglass of Tears.. this is maybe a little bit simpler too?
🎶Sings Shotglass of Tears
And they say it was this kind of song...

Next is Somebody
🎶Sings Somebody
...do you see my arm shaking??? I didn't realize this song was this difficult. Not easy... not easy..

Next - this is how one improves
Should we rest just a second though? ...I can sing this easily.. but .. okay not this one... Standing Next To You has popped up .. this is not it.. (in terms of songs he can sing super easily..)

I know I could click 'skip' but that's not fun.. I kinda like the feeling of straining my voice too though but like ajkldfgj;alkdfjglk UGHH if only I'd eaten a bit more..

LOLL he was hoping the next in the queue would be something he could just breeze through it but SNTY is super hard but he also doesn't wanna skip it... also he's worked out so much today that he's so drained of energy and stamina poor bunncake

Okay let's try~
Imma just put it on.... ::whines:: I'm kinda vibing so..
AGHHHH 🎶Singing SNTY

Ooof I'm sorry - this is hard this is harddd - this is hard I tell you. I can do this a bit better but I have no strength right now but I'm just holding out - out of pure stubbornness

🎶Sings Too Sad to Dance

K last one!
What should I do for the last one??
I don't know either..
It's Yes or No
🎶Sings Yes or No

With singing.. there's quite a bit of like muscle memory so I find I'm using the exact same vocalization I did back then~

This is hardd this is hard
blebbbbbbbb

now what..
now now .. what there's nothing...
::chuckles::
ahh hehehe that was hard ::sigh::
