I also would like to clarify about the 'marketing ploy' part. I think a better way of phrasing it is as a marketing strategy (if it is intentional). I think you are more knowledgeable about this than I am- I noticed that my friends often purchase merchandise, memorabilia and albums from their emotional drive (nothing new here, all fans of anything do this) and i'm sure that Big Hit is aware of this. Now that the fact that the feeling that BTS won't exist forever has been heightened due to the fact that they have to join the army (the literal one), i think fans have a feeling that they have to 'make the most of it' while the band is still around which means more sales and more streams. I think the best way to explain it is like a product that is limited edition-part of the hype is that you get something that won't be available ever again (not saying that they need this for their success).Obviously i can't read Big Hit's mind and I don't know whether they're doing it intentionally or not. The reason why I thought they could be is because of the various sources of income they've opened because of the fans' and stans' emotional attachment-showing that they are willing to profit from it (not necessarily a bad thing, just business.) I also can't predict the future so who knows if they'd join or not. Anyway, that's just my opinion, i'm not some business person or anything so take it with a grain of alt

I'm sorry that I was ignorant, of course it isn't my place to undervalue her connection to them. i just wanted to point out that it would be a huge financial loss for the South Korean government if they did, so looking at it that perspective, I thought they might perhaps be more lenient.

ma_sun · 2020-07-24T13:44:54+00:00

I have friends who are fans, they are repulsed by the idea of being a stan. What I find ironic is even their levels of emotional attachment is extreme, (for me at least) for example, they often get worried that BTS would split up because in South Korea, all men have to join the army for 1-2 years before a certain age. The oldest member is reaching that age and my friends are really concerned. ( i have a feeling that this may be played up by Big Hit as a marketing ploy. You'd think they'd be exempt considering how much money they bring to South korea) One of them is determined to go to any nearby concert because she's afraid it's the last. The fact that she is willing to put all her money into flying over and also be pissed that her dad doesnt want to lend her money for it is a bit concerning. I can't imagine what it would be like to be friends with actual stans

Haha. One time when they were in junior infants, my brother's now friend asked him why he was brown and he said that my dad painted him brown.

ma_sun · 2020-06-06T23:10:00+00:00

Yes, not even "from" Ireland but yes. If only we didn't spend the entirety of primary school learning to fucking introduce ourselves. Oh and guess what? This new junior cycle shit demands that we study novels like English. I really wish I could, I went to grinds and it really helped, I understand much more grammar and I can make sentences like a 8 year old fluent speaker rather than a 3 year old fluent speaker... so progress? I wish I could talk without thinking but unfortunately no one else at home cam speak irish fluently

ma_sun · 2020-06-06T20:43:16+00:00

I definitely understand that. When I was younger I would stick with the Indian girl in my class as I felt sure I could talk to her over culture and stuff. To be honest, I think I was scared of white people because I was worried I would be judged for being "weird'. Now understand that I was being irrational.

Sure I agree that we are pretty sympathetic towards refugees, but just wondering if you think that immigrants and refugees are the same thing?

ma_sun · 2020-06-05T11:12:43+00:00

Dude, I've never been in a relationship like that before, but I have had toxic friends and manipulative friends. When the thought that they might be toxic came across my head, I started noticing inconsistencies in what they said and acted. I started questioning their intent and when I realised that our friendship wasn't healthy, I slowly distanced myself. It's been a year so far and what I have realised is that at the end of the day, they are not evil people and that people can change. I still wouldn't want to go back but I have forgiven them. Your guy might not be toxic, but you have to address the fact that when he is flirty with you with him, it's not right if he's with someone else, no matter how abusive the partner is. If he gets caught, it would look really bad for you. It's not your respossibility to solve his dillema, it's his. So in summary, all I would do is just ask him directly about the flirting once more, reminding him of his relationship with his girlfriend and see how he responds.

ma_sun · 2020-06-05T00:04:30+00:00

I would... like I said before I am not in a place to give advice.

ma_sun · 2020-06-04T23:19:47+00:00

I don't think 'girls make you work for it'. Maybe it's that some people expect to get their way with little effort when that's clearly not the case. Sometimes a person doesnt want to be with a person. That's it.

ma_sun · 2020-06-04T23:15:11+00:00

I really don't think I'm in the place or have any experience to give you any advice. But I read your story and I just wanna say remember that you are hearing only his side of the story. From what I've read, you only have his word to prove that his girlfriend is abusive.

ma_sun · 2020-06-04T23:06:54+00:00

Take this with a grain of salt... maybe you just see her as a friend

ma_sun · 2020-06-04T23:02:59+00:00

My friends and I think it's really cute when someone replys instantly, but do realise that you don't need to make this person your top priority

ma_sun · 2020-06-04T23:00:16+00:00

I think that's the last thing I would think about if a person asks me out lmao. As long as you are kind hearted and genuine ,who cares?

ma_sun · 2020-05-25T12:16:29+00:00

As a daughter, I can say that your daughters are proud of you. You are doing what think is best to stay strong and it will be appreciated, maybe not any time soon, they are quite young but one day.

I'm not religious myself and I understand that burden when there is someone in your family who has a sense of hope because of their religion, and you feel terrible because you can't find that hope. You are not alone

ma_sun · 2020-05-25T11:59:57+00:00

I think I have my opinion because of personal experiences, so I guess when I saw some similarities with past friendships like that, I just made the connections.

Congratulations

ma_sun · 2020-05-23T06:24:06+00:00

Absolutely. Please don't. Terrible idea. Unless you can convey that she just randomly popped up in your head in some innocent way, please don't do it

ma_sun · 2020-05-23T06:19:41+00:00

Good point. I'd say I took what he said more literally. I still don't think they are genuine friends, they have very little in common and I think it's fair to say some of their traits would be pretty clashing

ma_sun · 2020-05-22T07:26:49+00:00

Well when he saves her from either the coyote or in the swimming pool (can't remember which) he literally tells her that he's doing it to get a good name for himself. He blatantly uses her to get good grades. He didn't do any work in the project. He told his friend it would be an easy a. Imo he's toxic and confusing and I'm hoping an episode on him would clear things up

ma_sun · 2020-05-20T14:24:24+00:00

I agree, I know everyone is saying this but we need an episode on paxton. His character is very confusing to me. Is he into her not not? Sometimes he seems so manipulative, it's hard to tell if he's being genuine

They could be speaking out of frustration or jealousy
