Jimin Live - 10/13

안녕하세요 지민입니다 -Hi, It's Jimin

My commentary in green.
It's Jimin's birthday! The cutest, SWEETEST, baby egg in the game.
FULL DISCLOSURE- you may see me crash out re: his cuteness ...a number of times throughout this live. I'm only human, friends.

good to see you all
everyone - good to see you all - it's Jimin

thank you for wishing me a happy birthday
somehow it's already.. my birthday again..
birthdays are not a big deal but .. I saw so much love and birthday wishes from yall so I came back to say thank you

💬*my the gods protect you/may you have god's protection
oh..

my best guess is that someone commented something like 'may god bless you' ? or something like that and it auto-translated in Korean to may you have god's protection. it sounds a little stiff for a native speaker, even a fully religious one, to say/wish this unto someone for their birthday with this wording~ but a sweet sentiment nonetheless that invokes a tiny chuckle from our bb birdie

no i didn't have cake
i normally don't like cake
i worked hard to lose weight hehehe

yes thank you ...woww.. birthdayy.. hehehe.. is it too quiet?
but i'm always just in this quiet ...but i wish i could play some music but I'm using my phone for this so..

yes this is my house
food?
today after recording our album.. i came home and ate
i didn't sleep well last night so i took a 30 min nap and then now I'm here

handphone...

oh i met my family yesterday
my dad came up because it was my birthday and made me food
we all ate a lot and my dad gave me some *allowance
yes, i'm thankful to receive *allowance even though I'm over 30 years old
he just came up to make me foood
so we ate together
yesterday i spent time with my family

yea... he gave me *allowance

*용돈 (yong don) - allowance, pocket/spending money -usually given to kids by parents, aunties/uncles/grandparents/etc.

yes so i received it *thankfully

*감사하게 (gamsahage) - with a lot of gratitude

yea you're right - my dad is super sweet
seriously...

gifts?
today.. actually other than recording? i didn't see anyone

friends. can we just look at his witto face for a moment... how does the siren from THE FILTER PERFORMANCE turn into this bb in his down time. HOW? i demand answers. ::weepingfor3businesdays:: okay i'm back.

oh there's a lag..
yes i had *miyukguk (seaweed soup) yesterday

*미역국 (miyukguk) - seaweed soup, traditionally eaten on birthdays in Korea. The soup is made with dried seaweed, beef broth, lots of garlic and sesame oil and it's SO delicious and SOOOO nutritious. This tradition is because moms traditionally eat this food for several weeks after giving birth as seaweed is rich in iodine, calcium, and iron which help with the recovery process and is easy to digest. Eating this on your birthday is a way of honoring your mother during childbirth, remembering her, expressing gratitude, and also as a 'new start' to the next year of life~

i didn't do a *toast for the cake because i don't really eat cake like that

*건배 (geonbae) - a toast, cheers, i think he may have used this word because it was in comments... and i think it may have been a wonky direct translation because.. i've never really heard of Koreans calling like the 'blow out the candle/cake fanfare' as a "toast" before - so likely, he's echoing the words from a comment

*굳이 ..i'm not really one that celebrates my birthday

*굳이 (sounds like gujee despite how it's spelled) - is this added word when someone is about to explain why some thing/action/suggestion doesn't necessarily have to be a certain way or taken to that extent or be executed quite that way

For example, you may hear "굳이..." a lot with "그렇게까지 안해도 되" (gujee geureoke kkaji ahnhaedo dweh) - meaning "you don't [necessarily] have to go that extent/take it that far" - but in this sentence, the actually heavy lifting is done by "그렇게까지" - as in the meaning would still carry if you just said "그렇게까지 안해도 되" but adding "굳이" beforehand sets up what's coming like ..mm why would we do it like this..

i haven't been able to meet up with the members yesterday
everyone's super busy recording these days
i mean birthdays..
but i'm really thankful that so many of you wished me a happy birthday

yes i've eaten dinner
i ate right after coming back home from recording today

sighhh

oh if i go to my computer i can turn on music or something it's so quiet rn
i feel like it's so quiet.. i'm like..

do with this image what you will. i wash my hands of this.

where should i lean my phone.. how should i do this what should i lean it against...
::all the crashing and banging noises in search of a way to stand up his phone::

can you see me if i do this?
this doesn't stand... what should i do??
one sec..

he left us unsupervised under his computer.. i feel like the 95s have a similar layout with their computer desk among their workout equipment

he brought back something to lean the phone against lmao

okay there we go

this is what i was watching while i was eating

this is the show he was watching

*궤도 (gwedo) - "orbit," this is written in the screenshot on the YouTube in the episode title, but in this case, he's a really popular YouTuber and that's his YouTube name; this YouTube creator has the goal of making science accessible and fun and interesting for everyone so he has a variety of guests/experts on his channel to unpack different science themes. This creator was also featured on season one of the Devil's Plan as one of the contestants (a really great watch if you like watching reality shows involving mind games, puzzles, escape room type strategizing, etc.) Season 1 also features a member of the group Seventeen as a contestant.

um. look how cute. jadklfgj;aldfjg;lkajf;lg. he's so excited to show us his food time show. what a cutie bb egg

these types of shows are so fun

oh i just brought a random box to prop it against

jakfl;gjaldfjkg;lakjdf;glkajfdg

💬is recording going smoothly?
hmm how should i say this.. yes, it's going smoothly, i'm working hard
like i said before, i don't know how yall will react/respond to it..
i think there's a mix of anticipation and worry and fear of what'll happen

i ate tonkatsu earlier

gyms? i mean i don't know..

i'll throw on a playlist
::looks for an r&b playlist::
🎶Hate Me Less - Donato

i want to play our music for you asap too. ..but wait a minute.. something feels off
it's because it's too low and to the left [the phone]
it's hard for me to see too.. hmm

::more rearranging of stuffs to get the right phone orientation::

ajfkdl;gjal;dfjgl;akdjfglkj SO CUTE WDYM. THIRTYWHERE YEARS OLD?ajkdlagㅓㅁㅗ아ㅣㅗㅓ니허ㅏㅎㄴ미ㅈㄱㅈㅈㅁㄴ???

i didn't spoil anything yet.. is this a spoiler???
all i said was that the recording is going well and i don't know how yall will react to it... is this a spoiler?

did i cut my hair? no i'm growing it out intentionally.. when i was just discharged my hair was SO short..

the punching bag? i don't really use it. i used to use it before

i hope YOU all are healthy and happy

i'm still blonde ::shows::

i wanted to do a live but...

i'm very happy everyone with a lot of gratitude :)

this is a random playlist... i typed in "playlist" and this playlist came out
-___-

okay then..
🎶Daisies - Justin Bieber
can you hear my voice okay?

💬did you already forget the military?
mm..yes.
i think it's like this - after being discharged.. i went to film and you know how i went to America for like two months..
mm.. should i say i had to adapt quickly back
kinda felt like i just cut out the time i spent in the military and taped the 'before' and 'after' timeline together

💬what do i wish for my birthday?
💬do you ever have dreams about being back in the military?
i have - twice
it wasn't like getting enlisted
I had dreams of like meeting my haengbokwan nim (higher military officer) and like doing work
like 'am i doing this right?'
i had that kinda dream

i also run a lot, i like running
lately i've seen so many people running when I go out
it was really cool
when i was running there were so many people
like all ages and backgrounds..
i saw so many young people and older people too
it made me think 'i should live my life to the fullest too'
i think this is why i try to run later in the day though

i don't have muscles now
that's why.. working out..
i mean working out is obviously so meaningful and i love working out
but when i lose weight, the muscles i worked so hard to build disappear
so i feel like there's a sadness that comes with it.. why did i bulk up when i have to lose weight anyway?
everything disappears

how's the music? i mean good.. i mean i love it..i do anyway ::sheepish smile::

i am ded.

sleep? i sleep so late these days.. so like 9am? i sleep like 3-4 hours and wake up..

excuse me. what?!??!??!? he SLEEPS at 9am. friends. lowkey, i get it cuz all their scheds be crazy. but friends. 9am TO SLEEP!??!??

i am really happy
💬when are you doing a jump..?
...? what does this mean?
it's probably a wonky translation on their end but lol we'll all wonder, together, what that commenter meant to ask hahaha

am i practicing dancing? i should start right? honestly i think i'm a little intimidated...
i mean of course.. i can do it well but then..i think there are parts of me that feel nervous

how does one lose weight?
::thinks:: sighs:: don't lose weight.

why am i wearing a hat at home? oh i didn't wash my hair lol
i was going to wash my hair and then do it but then decided to turn on the live before it got too late
should i go wash my hair right now?

drawing? i mean it's been a while since i drew anything
i don't really draw as a hobby but i sometimes draw things to show yall
i try my best
i don't know if i have talent or not but

do i run when it rains?
i like running when it rains but you all shouldn't do it cuz you might get hurt or catch a cold

do a live of me washing my hair? laughss
i don't want to show you this
i don't want to show you my bathroom

do a live of me washing my hair?
that would be funny though right.. i mean i don't know how i'd show you but..

thank you for the birthday wishes
no i don't have any plans after this
i was thinking of going to practice ...but

do i have lenses [in the glasses]? no i don't.. timestamp

this is something i saw for the FIRST time in 2012. A good Korean-American friend of mine from LA, a very fashionable friend, wore glasses without lenses TO CLASS. I was so sure he'd flexed so hard once about having 20/20 vision once that I just asked him if his eyes had gotten so bad since starting grad school that he needed glasses now (even a mild dose) out of genuine concern! And he did exactly what Jimin did, poked through the lens hole to show me he was just wearing frames. WHAT. DO. YOU. MEAN?! I will never truly comprehend people who are this fashionable.

::mumbling to himself as he's reading through few comments::
if you wash your hair at night..

do a live working out?
tbh, i worked out so hard in America and then worked out so hard when I got back to Korea.. and you know how I just got back from Dior
i was really .. i did a lot of running but i couldn't do a lot of working out

dance? here? do laundry in my living room?
i do have a lot of dishes though..
doing dishes is so hard
honestly my house is really dirty right now

💬tell me about the first time you drank whiskey?
so that was when.... i was with a friend. i remember exactly
