Excuse me but that's not what adorable looks like where i come from?!
Aside from holding us hostage with his cute-hotness AND his hot-cuteness...
This Park Jimin takes no prisoners.
Yeah he was joking, but he did assert control.
So much attitude. I loved it.
I loved seeing that he absolutely knows his worth, and these days he makes his own decisions. Whether anyone agrees or disagrees about his work ethic or his dieting choice, they are his own decisions.
And he knows what he wants.
He knows what he wants from the choreography, from the story he's telling, from the dancers, and from himself.
Jimin OWNS this performance.
Watching this dance practice reminded me of how far they have come and how much has changed for them.
The scales of power that were once tipped in the company's favour have found a new balance.
It's always interesting to watch a room full of people and work out who holds power.
When the power balance is questionable, there may be a palpable tension as the contenders wrestle for control. But when there is one person who has quiet confidence and visible authority, you know there's no question about who is in charge. They give and take, they work with their team, but ultimately they make the decisions.
Watching this dance practice, it's very obvious who holds the power in that room.
Gone are the days where anybody else makes decisions for Park Jimin. Nobody instructs Jimin to do anything here. The staff are teaching him the choreo, not because they are in charge, but because that's their job. And Jimin changes whatever he feels isn't working - with consultation because he respects his team - but he's not asking permission.
He decides which parts to keep working on and he decides when the practice ends, and everyone respects his decisions because he is the natural leader.
Watching this also demonstrated unequivocally that with WHO, Jimin had full involvement in every aspect.
He may not have written the words to the song but he absolutely controlled the narrative.
Hi stormy! So... After watching who for 12345 thousand times (lol) and now watching the JF performance and the tiktok one did anyone else notice the cute way JIMIN holds his pants/jeans while dancing? He also did it during his LC choreo dance practice as well, I just wanted to make an observation on how cute that was 🥰
Different from joy or admiration, awe is an emotional response to something - or someone - vastly impressive or beautiful or inspiring (or all of the above in the case of Park Jimin).
Awe is that "oh, wow" feeling.
Sometimes it's inspired by a feat of courage or a grand performance. Other times it's something so beautiful it makes you breathless (or both in the case of Park Jimin).
The key is that it is triggered by something that is outside of the everyday experience, maybe beyond understanding. It has to be mesmerising, remarkable, wonderful (or all of the above ...yeah you know where I'm going with this).
So what does this have to do with my vagus nerve?
I'm glad you asked!
The vagus nerve (no, thats not it. It means wandering) is the nerve that links your brain basically to the rest of your body. It reaches from your brain stem all the way through your abdomen.
The vagus nerve controls your automatic responses. This is the nervous system that's responsible for that swooping feeling in your belly (when you when you look at pictures of Park Jimin) as well as the racing of your heart (when you watch Park Jimin dance).
Your vagus nerve is active in both directions. Your brain will send messages to your body via the vagus nerve (fight or flight as an example) but you can also use it to reduce stress and anxiety. You can engave your vagus nerve to down-regulate your stress response.
How can you do that? One way is by experiencing awe.
I'm not making this up.
Scientific studies have proven this. Besides the rush of endorphins when you have that "oh wow' response, awe reduces the focus on yourself and shifts your perspective. That's good for your physical and emotional health for a bunch of reasons.**
So, looking at pictures of Park Jimin and watching him dance can improve your health?
Yes, that's right!
Ask your GP to prescribe a daily dose of Park Jimin for continued good health. Or take matters into your own hands and make him part of your daily self-care routine.
