Jimin 4/28 Live Highlights
Jimin, j-hope, SUGA live ft. brief guest appearance by V - debriefing the concert over some ARIH ramen
템파 맥썸노이즈~ "Tampa Make Some Noise" ENG phonetically written in hangul
My commentary in green.
Somewhere along the line, I'd forgot how I approached my longer form translations.
Whenever they do a live where they're unpacking something serious, talking deeply about a new project, etc. uncovering something really important - I'll translate that live/portion of the live in transcript-style!
But when they're just lightly unwinding after their concerts, doing mukbbang/random nonsense type lives - I used to give highlights on threads in real time (but up til now, it was only Jin/j-hope saying hi after their solo concerts), so I'll go back to that format so that it can be more up-to-speed!
But rest assured, if there's ever anything that's really critical, I'll do a more thorough translation!
Thanks for being here!
✅ = anything significant to note (in my opinion)
Highlights
- Jimin acknowledges this trio is a combination of members you don't see together very often [on lives]
- j-hope gets up to help Jimin/SUGA (off screen) w/ food once SUGA also gets up
(in general, it is considered rude, unless explicitly decided/discussed/permitted beforehand for younger people to be sitting casually while older people are doing 'work' to prepare food - so whether it'd be like pouring water, getting utensils ready, even just going over to 'see' if you can be helpful would be the proper etiquette)
(so you'll notice j-hope comfortably stays seated without a thought when it's only Jimin that gets up to cook - even adding on to the order 'please boil more water for me' but then when SUGA gets up, he gets up too - and all this is SECOND nature, not necessarily like a dreaded action taken begrudgingly or anything~ and SUGA didn't 'enforce/demand it' this is ALL second nature and for granted)
- SUGA says (off-screen) that his favorite ARIH flavor is not being launched for another 3 months ✅
- SUGA says they really were involved in the development of many aspects of ARIH
- Members/SUGA worries, every sound check, about how long the fans have been waiting in the weather (in this case, in the heat)
Jimin tries to compliment SUGA & immediately regrets it LOL
Jimin: I gotta lock yoongi hyung in a compliment jail (or smother yoongi hyung with compliments)
j-hope: what does yoongi hyung have to do today?
SUGA: i've always done well
Jimin: ...
SUGA: i've always done well
Jimin looking at j-hope: ...sucks the joy right outta giving him compliments
j-hope::sunshine laughs - prolonged sunny giggles as it continues::
Jimin: sucks. the. joy. right. out.
SUGA: i've.. i've always done well during live performances
Jimin: UGHHH ... ughhh.. how tiring [SUGA] already i'm tired of this
SUGA (piling on): i can't remember a time when i've done poorly
Jimin:....
j-hope looking at Jimin: ..i'm so used to this
Jimin to j-hope: don't you HATE it though
j-hope:hehehehe:
- Jimin: it's been such a long time since we've done something like this with the members
- j-hope: but we always do them either on the last day of the concert or at a location so..
- SUGA: it's through the whole year so we'll definitely be back often so you don't have to worry
- Jimin: ...it is the whole year huh.. SUGA: yea through the yearrr
- they really enjoy being together
- SUGA: should we go eat that? it's boiled seafood in a bag
j-hope: AHHH i know what you mean!!
SUGA: do they sell it here??
Jimin: a bag?
j-hope: is that a franchise though??
SUGA: no they do it at home.. and when they go camping..
j-hope: i have wanted to try it
Jimin (still doesn't know, asks hobi in tiny): what is it
j-hope: where they have all that seafood in a bag and then they pour it out
Jimin:...
SUGA: they pour it out like straight onto the plastic on a table
Jimin: !!oh I do knowww -is it good?
SUGA: should we look it up?
Jimin: hyung, let's look it up forreal
SUGA: obviously forreal ..what. am i gonna pretend to look it up?
sassball suga is my favorite brand of sweetener.
they're talking about a seafood boil - it's definitely not something that is 'commonly' seen (the way they've seen it served in the states) in Korea
- SUGA grumbles about being in his 30s and how recuperating is not as easy as it used to be
Jimin: hyung, i get it but ...from what I recall you said the same things when you were in your 20s
SUGA: ...i didn't say the same things in my 20s
Jimin: same vibes though
SUGA: same attitude for sure but for sure my stamina .. things are difficult in your 30s - i didn't believe the hyungs that said the 30s hit different
Jimin: but then hyungs in their 40s..
SUGA: are so envious of us in our 30s..
Jimin: yea that's what they say - SUGA: omg i'm eating so much in America.. it's truly an emergency situation
j-hope: HAHAHA an emergency??
SUGA: like we can't just stay in the hotel i'm telling you...
j-hope: ...then go out
SUGA: ...there's too many people ..i don't like crowds - Black Pepper Tteokbokki ARIH apparently tastes just like Daegu tteokbokki - hits the spot for our sugaball so much so that he'd wanna just buy the sauce separately - and j-hope thinks it's even good when eaten cold (👀)
- j-hope likes the Ruby Red Galore ARIH (this is also my fave)
- ::reading comments:: 💬we're ready for you in Mexico
SUGA: excited for Mexico (to j-hope) you've been there, you said was no joke
j-hope: no forreal you will actually be so shooketh"
Jimin: oh really?
j-hope: no you don't understand.. you will
Jimin: cuz I was surprised in Tampa
j-hope: I was SO surprised [in Mexico]
SUGA: i do see a lot of flags around here [in Tampa]
Jimin: I did hear they play our music a lot in Mexico
j-hope: no you really will be so surprised
...SUGA: everyone, please surprise us
and to all beloved MEXICO ARMY & those that traveled to Mexico to see them - thank you so much for showing so much love, not just partying loudly and dynamically but being respectful about their privacy, so warm in conduct, you not only repped BTS ARMY but your country so beautifully
globally recognized for your warmth and awesome conduct, Mexico ARMY - you have our love!
- another thing they're surprised by is that the number of male fans have increased substantially and it was something they didn't expect!
- also in Japan, it used to be that the crowd was a bit more timid, a lot of listening and a lot of anticipating - but they agree it was MUCH more dynamic this time around with Jimin even saying "when did you all learn to play/party like that??"
