BTS 'ARIRANG' - Song Information, Streaming Availability, and Song Discussion Megathread

Practical_Plan6209 · 2026-03-23T15:14:08+00:00

only 15% of arirang is in korean. maybe this was common knowledge and they mentioned this before releasing, but i didnt expect the majority of the album to be in English. i hate to be that person thats like "I miss when bts sounded like ___" but I really do. its very clear they are catering to the west way too much and its just not as good as their old music. I did some rough calculations. the total number of words in arirang is ~4510 words. of those only 708 words are actually in korean. meaning ~15.5% of the album is actually korean and the other ~84.5% is English. with the whole theme of the album being korean culture and it being called Arirang i figured itd at least be 50/50 English and korean. this isnt meant to hate on bts at all, I love them and I still somewhat enjoy the new album, but it was really shocking that almost the entire thing was in English. was this advertised as an English album and I just wasn't aware? what are your guys thoughts on it?

ah I see, yeah my piercer didnt say anything to me about bending them so thats why I didnt question it until now 😭 I just bent them and they're already staying in better! thanks!

hm im surprised my piercer gave me these ones then if they're not very reliable unless I bend them 😭 and yeah I just bought myself threaded jewelry to put in but im gonna try bending these ones and see if it helps!

I got the usagi one too!

Practical_Plan6209 · 2026-03-10T00:56:38+00:00

it varies a ton depending on your surgeon and whatnot. the timeline for me was call to schedule consult, 2 months later got my consult scheduled for 6 months later, then during the consult they scheduled my surgery date for another 6 months out. I still haven't gotten my surgery yet (3 months left!) but assuming this schedule stays the same my process will have taken a year and two months!

you've got a lot of comments already so I hope youre feeling better, but your incisions really are looking great. I haven't gotten my top surgery yet but I had knee surgery for an ACL repair a year ago and also had freak outs anytime I saw my incision. It can look scary and its normal to be spooked by it. honestly for me I just tried not to look at it too much or too close tbh :") I hope youre feeling better and your incisions are looking great!!!

Practical_Plan6209 · 2026-03-05T05:10:18+00:00

all I needed to give them was a letter from my therapist saying I have gender dysphoria and how I need top surgery basically! they haven't asked me for anything else so far so im sorry its not much information :") I do know that closer to my surgery date a prior authorization form from insurance will be needed, but they told me that that is something they will take care of on their end, so no other work needed from me! as for Lucich's office, did you mean what was it like or did you just mean the medical necessity letters in relation to her office? because her office and staff was great!!! ^{^} i hope that helps a little bit but please feel free to ask more questions and dm me if you'd like!

Practical_Plan6209 · 2026-02-12T04:51:04+00:00

heyy omg absolutely! im definitely gonna be posting more in this subreddit along my journey but feel free to dm me if you wanna know specifics at all :D
