Important things no one remembers about Kim Seokjin.

0. ^

1. Jin came into Big Hit with absolutely zero singing or dancing experience, (unlike all the other members minus V) and had to put in an incredible amount of effort and hard work to meet their level of talent, proving that hard work does pay off and can be just as good as talent.

2. Jin spends the allowance he gets from his parents on ingredients. Not just on himself, he selflessly uses his own money to make meals for all the members to enjoy with him.

3. Jin’s the one that mediates the group and stops jokes before they go too far. I guarantee you, if Seokjin wasn’t in the group, there would be probably be a lot more group fighting.

4. Jin literally drives Jungkook to school, without him Jungkook would probably be a high school dropout tbh.

5. Pretty much everyone in Bangtan has hinted at some point that he’s the strongest member in the group. If you thought Jimin or Jungkook was ripped well I got news for you.

6. Oh, and if you like how Jungkook has muscles, just remember he only started working out because he started going with Jin to the gym.

7. That one time they asked him his ideal type and he started talking about how much he likes dogs.

8. Jin literally carries around a spoon and special chopsticks. If that’s not the most adorable fucking thing to you, then you need to think about life for a moment.

9. People always talk about how relatable he is because of his love for food and his handsomeness, but more important than that is that he’s willing to show himself eating to people - as an idol. He’s one of the few idols that projects a healthy image to everyone, by letting them know it’s okay to eat.

10. Jin also shows that you are allow to be confident in your looks. How many times do we hear idols say “Oh no.. I don’t think I’m handsome.” or only say they’re handsome as a joke? Jin isn’t afraid to be self-confident and show he has high self-esteem and it’s so important for young people to see and hear and know it’s okay to feel like this.

11. He’s probably wrecking your bias list right now. Literally.

I’ll try to make this as simple as possible for those who aren’t familiar with field terms, please note that this is only my interpretation from my knowledge and experience and it might not be 100% similar to Bighit and the design firm’s original ideas.

So BTS and ARMY got a new brand identity. What is brand identity? Brand identity is the identity, the core, motives and goals of the brand, basically everything that makes the brand itself represented in a visual aspect. Logo(s) are one of the most important parts of the brand identity.

This is BTS’ previous logo:

Why this logo no longer suits BTS:

• This logo is made specifically based on the meaning of BTS’ name in Korean, 방탄소년단 (Bulletproof Boy Scouts) taking the image of a bulletproof vest as the base • Technically speaking, it’s not really a practical logo. Too many small details lead to difficulty when used in small scale and used as strokes. • It’s created 4 years ago and the logo trend has changed a lot since then, going more towards minimalism (simpler logos). • Most importantly, it can only represent BTS in debut days. The bulletproof vest stands for “guarding against prejudice and oppression against the youth in their 10s and 20s”. But BTS’ success and achievement have far made them become more than that. They are not only simply defending prejudice and oppression but also offering consolation and hope for the youth as well as everyone else to move forward. This logo isn’t able to express that.

And so they changed BTS’ brand identity and not only did BTS get a new logo, our fandom, ARMY, got one too. (left: BTS, right: ARMY)

Why the new logo suits BTS:

• It’s a minimal logo design which has been the trend in the design field in recent years, with many big names changing their logo/brand identity like Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, DeviantArt, Uber, PayPal, even in the Korean entertainment industry, we have YG Entertainment who changed their brand identity 4 years ago too. These are all for the purpose of catching up with the trend and renew themselves for a fresher and more suitable image for the company’s direction in the future and current success. Minimal logos have more practical use when it comes to digital and print design. This shows that BTS is catching up the flow of the times and not caught up in the past. The design is also developed from BTS’ old logo (the bulletproof vest one), the negative space between two shapes represents the front zip of the bulletproof vest. At the same time, it also resembles two panels of a door, symbolizing the action of open a door to move forward to the future, to a new beginning of BTS. This logo is an infusion of the past and the present, the future of BTS, they still stay rooted to their base but don’t dwell on the past, they are not satisfied with what they achieved and will continue to go higher.

• When flipped 90°, the logo resembles a door with a source of light ahead, meaning that when BTS opens this new chapter, there will be a bright future awaiting for them.

• The logo of ARMY is a reflection of BTS’ logo. Here’s a simple animation to show how BTS and ARMY’s logos are connected:

BTS and ARMY’s logos are reflection of each other representing the mutual influence of us and BTS. BTS give us music, hope, determination, ambition, dreams, energy and happiness, and we too are their source of strength, the reason they keep developing themselves to get better and better. As BTS always say, BTS exist because of ARMY and we ARMY are also a part of BTS. The overall shape of ARMY’s logo resembles a shield, meaning we will be the one to protect and shield them against the prejudice and hatred towards them.

• Another reason why I say this is a great logo is because, there are many ways to combine these two logos together. Two of them are:

- When putting BTS’ logo in between ARMY’s logo, it becomes two shields. We are protecting, embracing BTS, but at the same time they’re also protecting us, together we double the strength. - When separating the pieces of each logo and arranging them vertically side by side, they become the symbol of a grand door, the kind of door usually seen in palaces and is commonly used to represent the Gate of Heaven. BTS and ARMY side by side will head to higher places with higher goals.
