long time no post!! (half a year has gone by and i’m still not any less swamped by work)

here’s a summary of this big dump of c-army shenanigans:

yoongi and jungkook are actually chinese (whaaaat) namjoon should check out this new bonsAI and go to yunnan c-army understand jimin’s pain if jin knows chinese, he’ll definitely love these super unfunny jokes

ok here goes

1. yoongi is chinese?

and then a few days later…

jungkook is chinese???

(t/n: this one isn’t as ‘certain’ as yoongi but still pretty cool?)

there was also talk about “oh this is why yoongi wants to be china’s son-in-law” (apparently he said that in an interview), “this is why yoongi wrote things like dead leaves and ddaeng” and “oh this is why jungkook fits chinese beauty standards so well” (according to my korean friend, koreans don’t really like guys with double eyelids and nice thick eyebrows, but that’s what chinese ppl love and what jk has)

2. hey namjoon, check out this bonsAI

an ad about a bonsai with artificial intelligence, known as bonsAI, that follows you around and lets you know its mood



and…

“i know you’re wearing visvim but it looks like traditional yunnan style clothes”

t/n: yunnan is a province in china known for their many ethnic minorities (china has 55 ethnic minorities and people from 52 live in yunnan!)

t/n: “bear” and any variation of it is one of namjoon’s most popular nicknames!

3. namjoon is hot but poor jimin

4. language jokes that aren’t actually funny

so chinese characters are made up of different radicals that all have their own meaning, so you can pull them apart and substitute things as jokes

read on if you’re interested in linguistics! (and my fave meme of yoongs)

t/n: 哈哈 is haha

t/n: *jungkook (im sorry)

nam in korean means south too

also, in both languages, nam is a homophone with “male,” so his name can be used as a pun for boyfriend (namchin in korean or nan pengyou in chinese), man in chinese (nan ren, so instead of saying “this man” when referring to namjoon, you can substitue the character for man with namjoon’s name) etc.

the 3 kims are known as 鑫 (xin) (literally 3 “gold” characters on top of each other) and c-armys especially love it when they take pics in that formation

盒盒=hehe (pronounced to rhyme with keke) and is used by fans to imitate jin’s laugh

that meme pic is identical to 市

okbye
