JK Live - 9/1
Jung Kook's birthday 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...
he's giggling because it's cute/endearing to see ARMY try to speak Korean - however imperfectly - because making an effort to communicate in Korean is always so appreciated! As a Korean-American, to all ARMY that make any level of effort to try to meet them where they are, I appreciate you from the bottom of "my heart. Thank you for not saying "Speak English" or "Speak XYZ"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.
