Why Hoseok deserves all of the love.

There is a reason why I don't talk about BTS (or Bangtan) that much on this blog. Even though I genuinely love them, I feel like I'm going to be another internet Army saying some more mess and I don't want to do that to my boys.

Instead, I just wanted to say what was on my mind for a longest time. I'm going to make this quick because it doesn't need anymore hashing out.* I've been watching more people react to J-Hope's Sexy Moments today because more Hobi fans have made complilations than before. The reactors kept bring up his V-live in Tokyo where he voluntarily left the broadcast he started to Jimin because people were rudely calling for other members.

I realized that I also saying the same things the reactors said: "Hoseok is so cute, I don't see him as sexy. I probably will after this video, though." Then I kept remembering how anti-fans started a petition to kick him out of the group because they thought he was ugly.

I'm sure there's no more issue about this now but I just wanted to say all of the things I've been thinking about.

Asma"s Daily Throw-up #14

Hi, everyone, it's me!!!

School is in full swing. And guess what, I got a second job!!! This is good but it is basically the same as my first job. Annoying but helpful. Both jobs are flexible and both give me money, which I will save and buy expensive software and creative equipment I don't know how to use.

I hope everyone had good Eid. EID MUBARAK to those I've missed. My entire Somaliland family literally went to Hajj this year and did bother inviting us. I would have happily missed the first and second weeks of school to do the pilgrimage. But you have to be really spiritually sound to do the Hajj. I don't think I'm there yet. Hopefully sometime in the future, I'll get to go and I was thinking about bringing the women of my family to come with me.

I'm driving fine. I've made a few mistakes here and there, but for the most part, I will continue to believe I picked the right time to step away from college and pursue a license. All those years of shaking in the harsh wind and extreme humidity waiting to the late bus are so far behind me. Thank God.

What I've been doing lately:

• BTS be killing me. The short films. The vocals teasers. The anticipation. Jimin's #1 bias-worthy-ness. It hurts. I've definitely buying the album online. 

• My sister and I have been watching W - Two World. Lee Jongsuk is gorgeous and so talented and Han Hyojoo totally fits inside my wheelhouse of awesome Korean actresses. I've watching Cinderella and the Four Knights and the Age of Youth on my own. I'll let you know how those turn out.

• As I just started to fall into 2PM, they came back. How fortunate. I still haven't listened to the full album, but the title song is so good. Kings...

• Biology classes suck but I have to keep telling myself that this degree will help me pay the bills and fees for my expensive true work or "stuff" as my mother lovingly calls it.
• For EID, there was no better place to go but the bookstore and I bought this book "Stand Out" by Denise Anderson. I have slowly, in my own way, come to realize that without the proper background and exhibition of your skills, nobody in the design, publishing, marketing, or film industry will be willing to hire you or teach you themselves. You have to come with the skills ready to work from. So I am using this book to do what I've trying this whole year to do: Figure out who I and and what I stand for. I'll do my best to show my progress on this blog. Stay with me.

That's my update. I have to finish some A&P homework. *eye rolls*

Maknae Appreciation Post

Happy Birthday to our favorite *maknae Jungkookie. He's turned 19 internationally, but in Korea, he became 20 years old. Much sadness to older ARMY's everywhere, but in recognition of that magnificent day, I'd like to compile a list of my favorite maknaes in KPop boy groups that I've been cooing over ever since I got into KPop.

*Maknaes are the youngest member of a Korean group by age order.

1. Jungkook, maknae of BTS
As talented as he is and as much as his voice makes me melt, when he lets himself go, ARMYs wonder if he's still not 16. How is he so tall? Why are his laugh and his rabbit teeth so endearing? Why am I so old and untalented?
