The seven member Korean pop band, BTS, has been the talk of the town in regards to the pop culture music scene. The year of 2018 was definitely a successful one for the idol group; performing their hit single DNA at the American Music Awards, United Nations speech and winning multiple accolades during award season. To top it off the group member, Jimin, made sure the year ended on a melodic note...literally. The acoustic guitar guided track called "Promise" was released through Soundcloud and announced on BTS' official Twitter page December 30th. The groups supporting fans, which are called Army, went into a frenzy displaying their love for the song through retweets and hashtags.

Jimin's first "non-album solo single" was a collective masterpiece, BTS' label producer Slow Rabbit aided in its production and the cover photo was taken by Jimin's band-mate V. It was also written by Jimin himself along with his band member RM; giving it a more personal touch. And let's be real what fan does not want to hear their favorite musical artist sing to them with lyrics they wrote. He even included the words "first jimin present" in the URL link. How adorable!

His airy and angelic voice makes you feel like your daydreaming on a pair of clouds or taking a walk on the beach on a windy afternoon. The lyrics alone set a beautiful melancholic mood.

"I`m alright, though I say so maybe the truth is that I`m not. I want you to be your light, baby. You should be your light. So that you are not hurt anymore. So that you can smile."

Sometimes in relationships or even whilst not being in one, hiding your feelings seems better than actually addressing that they are there. The happiness of someone you care for is what matters even when you aren't feeling okay.

"Promise me now, even if you feel alone many times a day, don't throw away yourself. Pause for a moment right here, hook your pinky with mine, and promise me now."

Jimin's ending lyrics wants listeners to love themselves through the difficult times and have hope for another day. The message fits perfectly with BTS' "Love Yourself" campaign which promotes self-love and self appreciation.

Jimin was very proud and humble to share his new single. "Did you wait a long time?" he tweeted in Korean. "I finally made a public composition of my own song. This song is for me but it is also for you. It's the first time and it is still premature. Thank you Army, please listen a lot."

Army`s were not the only ones who listened and enjoyed Jimin's solo track. Jimmy Fallon, a BTS fan and friend of Jimin tweeted in support, Jimin matched his enthusiasm with a thankful reply.



Jimin's band-mate and collab partner on the single, Namjoon also known as RM, congratulated him on a popular Korean forum called Fancafe where many Korean idols and agencies post photos, music updates, etc. Due to the language barrier it is hard for non-Korean language speaking fans to understand when trying to sign up for the website. Luckily, international fans are able to understand through Korean speaking fans who post the English translated versions on twitter, talk about a close knit fan base!



BTS crushed it in 2018, there really is no telling what they have in store for the new year but so far 2019 is looking very promising.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
