j-hope Live - 10/1

허어이! - Hiiiii!

My commentary in green. I'll be using 💬 to refer to weverse comments because he answers a LOT of them
For anyone that's new here, I provide nuanced translations of BTS members' longer form lives, posts, and features with focus on speaker intent over literal translation.
So there may be an instance, if you're studying Korean, where you recognize a word but I leave it out of my translation because it doesn't quite communicate the speaker's intent when translated literally.

if you ever have any questions, don't hesitate to leave a comment or find me on threads/instagram and shoot me a dm!

💬did you get a perm? yes i did
💬new hairstyle? yea like.. im tryna be cute *끼부리기
끼부리기 (kki-bu-ri-gi) is a playful way of saying "showing off" with like flirty intent - showing off charm, a new look, tryna be cute, etc.
here, j-hope is saying that he's tryna feel cuteee~ but sometimes they also say it to tease each other when it looks like one of the members is trying too hard with a pose or especially feeling themselves or something like that. it's been said to jin a few times as one might imagine...lol

now imma go home and rest

We're w orking hard

💬i like this update
💬i like being able to use the translation feature
I'm not sure what you're talking about but I'm glad you like it

💬"You should make Jung Kook do the KIG dance" Jungkook probably knows all the KIG choreography
he's good, I've seen him do it a lot..he always does it around me

💬Chris Brown dance?
💬Do you know Jin군

I think this is a wonky translation LOLL
Soldier Jin is here. Soldier Jinnn

I was trying to figure out what they might have been trying to type instead... like what might've Weverse auto-translate changed to "진군" like.. Mr. Jin? but that wouldn't quite work out that way.. so idk.. but I can't think of anything that makes sense. If anyone has any ideas, lmk! loll

💬Are you filming something?
Filming? nahh I'm not filming anything. I just did my hair
you know how sometimes you just wanna get your hair done

Jung Kook did the Cortis challenge
at first..I saw it pop up on tiktok but there were people around me so I had the volume low...
cuz you know how like.. when Jung Kook dances - he's usually really precise.. so I was watching it thinking like oOh he's kinda choosing a loose style I guess..?
then I heard the music later and learned what he was doing loll
cuz it's like a silly version of the song right?
