V's Diary in Japan Weather : It's raining here..
While we were in Japan we had a showcase, photo-shoot and interview.
Although we've been through it before, the first stages always seem nerve-wrecking. Actually I was shaking a little during our showcase but as I got accustomed to it I slowly enjoyed myself!
Time has passed so fast since our debut showcase and that now we're having a showcase in Japan, it's honestly a whole new feeling.
So that we won't disappoint our ARMYs, we've to become an even better and even more handsome BTS!!
Ah also we had a photo-shoot after our showcase I was so happy because it was taken really well~ I hope it'll be revealed soon!!

Hello! ㅎㅅㅎ
Jimin-ie's here after a long while hehe
We've had our first Japan showcase!
Our debut showcase in June feels as though it was just a few days ago but time's passing so fast while performing infront of our ARMYs, us smiling at each other and enjoying ourselves, it's honestly something I still haven't adapted to.
At every moment I really do (feel that I) have to work harder. To put in more effort. Also that we've to always be thankful for ours fans. These seem like rather obvious to say but I really do think so!
Everytime we see ARMYs it's really enjoyable for us but I hope that it's also as enjoyable and happy for our ARMYs when you see us~~
Thank you very much~~
-Our ARMYs always be smiling~ All the good luck~~With that in mind everybody kimchi~~~~! (Sorry for the real kimchi^^;)
ps. Suga hyung's alright so don't worry too much~~~~

I'm RapMon. We went to Suga hyung's hospital ward. It's a real relief that he looks alright. He looks so bored it's pitiful. Singing Syub hyung is the best.
BBomb (PHOULUANG THONGPRASERT aka NOH) loving Jin (THANATHORN KHUANKAEW aka JOM) as if no one is watching.
And then there's him. Keam (played by SARUN BOONMONGKOL aka KONG) No matter how many times I watch this series I don't get him. He's freaking adorable. He has a girlfriend but first I thought he was crushing on Jin..but then I guess like everyone they were working with Aim to unite BBomb with Jin. Buy then there was his OBSESSION with that cutie Ball. IJDK.
7. if you could change the ending of a drama which one would it be?
nitiman — i really liked the show (jin and bbomb had no right being that lovely and communicative on top of having all that chemistry) but the ending was rushed and unsatisfying. it definitely deserved better.
8. a drama that sounded terrible in its synopsis but somehow worked out
big dragon — the premise of the show is terrible and i almost didn't get past episode 1, but now i'm enjoying it? so much? each saturday i'm just amazed and delighted
I want this to be Leo and Fiat but it's not because they're each other's first loves and it's the ones in-between that didn't matter not the idea of the first love... but I'm gonna do this anyway because I want them here.
To My Star definitely does this. They are absolutely not each other's first loves but they are the only ones that truly matter in the end and they're the ones that they find a way to fix in the end.
Oh, Trapped! Absolutely Trapped. There's no way they're each other's first loves but they are the ones that matter. In both pairings!
This is much more common in the more adult shows, the ones where the characters are adults with real life experiences and a whole past behind them and a future ahead.
But it's also definitely true in Make It Right. I mean, he might have had a girlfriend before he found his perfect boy but, in the end, they found each other and came together.
Pete to Ae. Pete has been in love before and this is Ae's first but they are everything to each other.
Mark and Ou Wen! They're both adults, they've both had relationships before, but when they found each other they found their forever and their family and their future.
Jin and Bbomb! This one was obvious that neither of them were their first loves but they still found each other in the end, exactly was they were.
Tutor and Fighter. I'd definitely say both of them had relationships before they found each other (we know Fighter did!) and I definitely think they found their future in each other.
Oh, Dao and Kluen in Star in My Mind! Absolutely fits them very well. A+
Okay, that's a good list. I see more quotes have arrived so I better get going!

jin posted a cover of the song "i love you" that day, and made this post:
Hello, I’m Jin.
I’ve uploaded a cover again after a while.
I wanted to upload a song cover again on a good day
It feels really good that you guys are able to listen to my voice on my birthday like this.
I wanted you guys to listen to my voice on my birthday so I prepared from a really long time ago.
It was difficult because I was preparing for the album at the same time but
I wanted you guys to listen to an even better song on a good day and tell you guys how I feel so I stayed up and worked really hard.
It’d be nice if you listened to it well.
I covered the song “I love you” this time and it’s a song that I really liked since I was a trainee
When I listened to it, it’s a song that I felt really touched by but I thought, for my birthday this time, about what kind of song would be good for the fans to listen to on my birthday
I thought, there’s no other song that can express how I feel towards ARMYs than this song
Usually, I like the words “I like you” better but today, I wanted to say I love you guys
It’d be nice if my love for ARMYs will be conveyed well just like the song title
Thank you for always watching over me and liking me and I love you.
- Jin

I’m sorry so here’s another one - RM
#HappyBdayJinHyung The first star is J-hope. Hyung is forever an opposite extreme (person). N(orth) pole S(outh) pole
(T/N: Meaning he can either be to this end of extremity or the complete opposite end of extremity)
Jin hyung’s philtrum was a drawing paper
Hyung, I love you a lot

BBomb (PHOULUANG THONGPRASERT aka NOH) has made it clear. He likes Jin (THANATHORN KHUANKAEW aka JOM) even though Jin just recently broke up with Aim, BBomb's cousin (a female) Jin makes it clear he's not interested in BBomb but I think he protest too much.
Thinking about Aim, his "non" feelings for BBomb & BBomb's ex Mena sends Jin on drunk. When BBomb is called to retrieve a drunken Jin things come to a head..
As Jin yells at BBomb to leave him alone, that he doesn't like him and never will BBomb kisses Jin to shut him up (& maybe for pleasure too) but mainly to shut him up.
Kissed sober and inside the car Jin admits despite himself he does have some feelings for BBomb but he needs to take it slow.
Also the softness exuding from this scene is even softer than Jin’s hair (though Bbomb would probably disagree with the way he seems to love Jin’s head of hair)
Nitiman — Normalizing reactions to queer relationships in BL
With that title, you're probably like "Rae, wth are you talking about?", but hear me out. The show is doing something really interesting in the way it's showcasing reactions to Bbomb and Jin's relationship. We're used to the very formulaic plot where the relationship is revealed and it's immediately met with disapproval/adversity which eventually leads to a break up (cue the Episode 11™️ curse) followed by an often half-baked reunion and happy ending. Nitiman is turning that formula on its head and it's honestly so refreshing.
It's implied that Jin has only dated girls in the past, but literally no one bats an eye when he and Bbomb start dating. They are now in relationship and all of the important people in their lives have started to find out, but nobody has made a big deal about it. Jin's sisters literally found Bbomb half naked in his bed and were just like "that's your friend, huh? 😏" and that was the end of it. In today's episode it was implied that Jin's mother may also know about their relationship and her response was to include Bbomb in the family picture.
What's the message here? Queer romantic relationships are just like heteroromantic relationships; they're both just about two people finding each other and falling in love.
P. S. It looks like Jin is going to tell Bbomb's mother about their relationship in next week's episode. I hope that she's able to understand and accept them as well.
Something might have happened between Jin and Bbomb because they tried to fall asleep in black and grey T-shirts, then Bbomb confessed that he was affected by their proximity, then they woke up in different clothes, and Jin had a hickey THEY REFUSED TO TALK ABOUT.
And Bbomb is blaming his sleepless night on drunk Jin. Hmmm. SOMETHING HAPPENED.
