   Jeon Jungkook is a bit of a special case, among Bangtan. While we're sure there are haters, they're not our focus today. You've already seen with the other 6 members how they've fought through outside negativity and come through brighter, on the other side. With Jungkook, we'll focus on his kindness. Because you'd be hard-pressed to find a nicer guy.

    Everyone knows JK came to BTS very young and has grown up with the other members. Basically, you could say he's a reflection of all 6. And he has said it. From his song, Begin, he lets you know that what hurts him isn't people saying mean things to him, but rather, hurting his hyungs. That's a genuinely kind person. Maybe it's because they are all a part of him, though. We know he has Jin's sense of humor and fun. There's Yoongi's calmness under pressure. He's developing Namjoon's leadership abilities. He has soaked up Hobi's skill and dedication to dancing. He's become more open and vulnerable, like Jimin. And he's certainly got some quirkness all his own, ala Taehyung. What an amalgamation he's turned out to be 😁

    His kindness shows often, when they're outside. As much as he's a physical, athletic kind of guy, he's caring and gentle. From the times he's been seen helping clean up venues, to the care he takes for staff filming them, and his kindness towards fellow idols. He seems a little shy, but he'll be the first to follow support staff around and help them out. He's also just very considerate of his own members. He loves to play around with them, truthfully. But watch and you'll notice he's always careful to not hurt them. Because, let's face it, they're all smaller than he is, now! 😁

   Lastly, our Golden Maknae is skilled in many ways. Singing, dancing, smart, good-looking, athletically competent... Truly "golden" for a reason. But despite every reason not to be, he's humble. He performs all his roles more than adequately, but there's no sense he feels anything but happy to be a part of BTS. He's content to fulfill his position in the group, eager to, even. We know he was devastated when he got hurt and couldn't perform in Europe. As much for letting his brothers down as for letting ARMY down. And of course no one else thought that. It was an accident. But he got to be in the position of being comforted for a change. This time, his own vulnerability may have allowed him to see that his everyday actions are both needed and appreciated.

   All we can say is Jeon Jungkook is a brilliant piece of humanity. Whether he came that way already. Was molded by his real and bangtan families. Or has worked his butt off, on his own, to become this wonderful example of a man. He exemplifies our concept this week. Love Yourself, be kind to yourself and to all that's around you, and live well. That's all you have to do. Then we can be Golden ARMY, reflecting back on our group, as a beautiful example for the world. Keep trying and keep loving yourself. We can do it!

V stands for Victory

From the Merriam Webster dictionary: 2) achievement of, mastery or success in a struggle or endeavor against odds or difficulties.

Taehyung  had 3 options when it came time to choose his stage name, and he chose V. He was named Taehyung by his Grandfather, meaning "all wishes come true, everything will be alright even if facing a difficult situation".

How could his Grandfather know that the name given to Tae at birth would also describe his chosen stage, when the time to choose came? Was it fate that V accompanied his friend to the auditions that day?  He was the only one selected among everyone that auditioned. He started his career being victorious in a contest he didn't intend to compete.

Tae's path was never easy though. Not during trainee days and not after. As you may know, BTS was originally debuted as a group that focuses only on hip-hop, forcing the members into a mould, to present themselves a certain way. Tae's quirky personality though, may have often seemed out of place where hip-hop is concerned. Especially at BTS' early TV show appearances. From being mocked by hosts and "fans" alike, to becoming the most ridiculed member for his appearance in American Hustle Life, V has had to face it all.

Don't get us wrong, people with similar personalities, as Tae's, are some of the most adored celebrities, in South Korea. But, the "strictly hip-hop" image, BTS, were trying to present in the beginning of their careers, was what made Tae look so out of place. It wasn't until BTS started meddling with other genres and sounds, that people started understanding Tae better. He is a soul with a kaleidoscope of beautiful spectrums.

Although he is capturing everyone's hearts nowadays, this is a knife with two edges all on its own. He is no stranger to prejudice and mockery, to people's obsessive behaviour and ignorance. He has been on both sides of the spectrum. From being disliked because he was misunderstood to being liked too much.

Yet, Tae has never been anything other than himself. From his debut days, until now, V has grown, from a playful quirky boy, into a mature man, with the tender soul of a child. His talents and passions have shone through the shade of prejudice. V, has conquered all challenges. From developing his vocal skills, to learning how to play various instruments. Tae composes his own music and then produces the videos. We witness his ever evolving dancing skills. He fulfilled a life goal, by staring in the historical drama, HWARANG.

Most recently, V has been nurturing his passion for photography and painting.

Within every artistic medium, he shows us his true self. A person that's VICTORIUS!!!

"If you are concerned about something, tell [someone] anytime and let [your troubles] out~ If you keep it to yourself, it will become an illness."

— V , August 2019

We applaud BTS for their ongoing partnership with UNICEF to help children and young adults of our world.

   Team Karamel is still new and building our basics, but there's a vastly important topic we couldn't let lie for long. So we'd like to start talking about being kind. Thankfully, BTS leads the way for us in these things and they launched their renewed campaign with UNICEF last week. The campaign is against bullying but at it's core, this is about spreading kindness to yourself and everyone else. Because that's all it really takes, being kind. And Loving Yourself.

   We'll focus on kindness this week by talking about each member and how they exemplify kindness, in our eyes. Also how they've faced the opposite and what they've done to overcome it. We ask that you remember how well BTS handles hate directed their way and try to emulate it. When you encounter negativity, lets fight it with positivity. Hate messages to any member individually, or to them as a whole, don't engage. Instead of spreading the madness, maybe try to counter with things you love about the member or group. And, of course, report everything appropriately! There's Bighit if it's a serious threat they need to be aware of. Use your discretion so that they're able to get to important issues. Report problems on each platform appropriately. If it's hate messages, report as such, so our reports are noticed as helpful. Lastly, IF companies that BTS are dealing with behave inappropriately, we want to be as polite and professional as the boys would be. Express your displeasure through appropriate channels, and in proper ways. Doesn't mean we can't organize other means of expression, as a fandom, but let's be known as a reflection of our idols, ARMY! We can do it!
