BTS' eldest member Jin has just dropped a new single 'The Astronaut' yesterday (October 28th) and fans are going crazy! It's not just about the outstanding visuals and vocals this time though, but also about the underlying story of the MV. Theories are already running around, but let's recap for a moment. The MV starts with Jin sitting next to a broken spaceship, which fans are speculating he used to come to Earth. As the song starts, the scene changes and we see him in a nice house (a possible fast–forward) where he's peacefully doing crosswords on his bed when suddenly a beam of light appears outside the window. Seok Jin starts running towards the light, which turns out to be the same spaceship seen before, now fixed and ready to depart for space. Fans' main theory is that Jin came from space and landed on Earth, where he was stuck as his spaceship was broken. Here he learns to live like a human being and eventually finds a home. To support this theory we see many symbols and signs, the predominant one being the little girl, who appears repeatedly and seems to be close to the singer. In fact, fans are associating her with ARMY – which is what BTS' fandom is called – saying she's a symbol of their special bond. Other signs to support this theory are the many space-related items in Jin's room in the MV, as well as the helmet he gives to the little girl right before departing for space as if he was giving her something to remember him by. It should be noted that that was the same helmet that was sitting next to him in the very first scene when he had just landed on Earth. By the end of the MV, the BTS member has the chance to get on the spaceship and go back home to space, but he seems to change his mind last minute and starts running back. Once again, fans interpreted this moment as his realization that he has found his home on Earth and he belongs here. Basically saying BTS' singer Seok Jin has found happiness and home in an environment where he didn't feel like he belonged at first (maybe the entertainment industry? maybe the boyband?), mostly thanks to ARMY. How sweet is that? Other theories see Jin as a human wanting to depart for space and sending the message that, no matter how far he goes, he will always come back home to Earth (aka ARMY and BTS' members). Which we like just as much! Especially considering it was confirmed the eldest member of BTS is about to depart for military service. Fans' sharp eyes also noticed other possible subliminal messages, like the multiple 'STOP' signs and the truck, supposedly a symbol of the rest of BTS. What do you think? Have you watched the MV? What's your theory on it?

Being a K-pop fan, or “stan”, will always be one of the best decisions I have ever made. K-pop has become a huge part of my life and still is, so there must be something worth it right? Childhood and upbringing Growing up in a small town, K-pop wasn’t something I knew of at all. K-pop has so many qualities that make these little things worth it. What are some of your notable experiences as a K-pop stan?

The series blends suspense with the pain of loss and the hunger for justice.

Rarely do we hear Korean celebrities or businessmen make charitable donations to help the less fortunate in Korea. We question whether this is to Korean culture or whether donating is not a priority for most Koreans. We asked this question to some young Koreans and the overall response was that most young Koreans favor donating. Since many Koreans are struggling to make ends meet, they feel that the need for a certain amount must be needed in order for them to donate. What do you think about this? Should the Korean news report more of these celebrity donations? Let us know!

The latest episodes of Heartbeat just gave us the "feels"! In fact, it made our heart race faster as the two main leads, Joo In Hae (Won Ji An) and Sun Woo Hyeol (Ok Taecyeon), finally gave in to their feelings and expressed their love for each other in the most romantic gesture, a kiss! We relive the latest episodes and tell you our thoughts! So how did this sweet goofy vampire Sun Woo Hyeol capture this clueless hard-working simple girl Joo In Hae? By simply being himself! In our last article about whether vampires really existed in Korean folklore, we found out that Taecyeon was free to take this role into his own interpretation. Of course, using his "Taecyeon charm" he uses it in his role as the goofy out-of-date vampire Woo Hyeol! So how did these two get to this point? Back in episode 11, In Hae decided it would be a great idea to host a costume-themed party inviting everyone in the area. As the party started, Woo Hyeol, being at times, his charming self, asked In Hae for a dance. Lo and behold, it made In Hae realize her feelings for him! Seeing these two potential love birds made Na Hae Won (Yoon So Hee Ghost Doctor 2022) angry and she storms out of the house. We also find out Hae Won isn't as friendly as everyone thought she is! Fast forward to the end of episode 11 when Woo Hyeol finds In Hae asleep at his bed and the two finally give into their feelings! This scene, probably the climax of the whole series, made our hearts stop as In Hae reveals her honest feelings to Woo Hyeol saying that she wouldn't be able to live without him by her side. Sigh. The feels. Woo Hyeol doesn't waste any time as he grabs her and kisses her passionately. Our Thoughts Although we understand this drama is purely fictional, we can't help but question how "cleanly" everything fits together. Woo Yeol wants to be fully human so he can't harm In Hae. We also know that there are other characters who despise his existence and want to get rid of him so there will be some fighting for his survival as well as his feelings for In Hae. Our question is: "If this weren't a Korean drama, would everything fit so nicely together?" Let us know what your thoughts are so far and where you think this relationship will end.
