Let's start with their perennial problem with anything BTS.
Now add a message that celebrates female independence & empowerment—including bodily empowerment.
It must drive the conservative, patriarchal establishment mad.

They should also stop sending Federal tax dollars to a Federal government that is no longer providing these types of services.

Science meets art.
Bees see ultraviolet light (UV). Plants exploit this by having nectar guide patterns on their flowers that #glow in response to UV light. These patterns light the way for bees to the nectar & pollen-rich parts of flowers.
Bees are fed
Plants are pollinated
Win-win

I've been listening to earlier BTS. I kinda miss that style & the Korean lyrics. I'll take anything, but I wouldn't mind a throwback style song

Hated it. What lazy, inconsistent writing!
Everyone else was reincarnated, so he should have been, too—as the tyrannical food critic that kills careers.
They should have squabbled over the meal in the same way as when they first met.
Then an astronomical moon event should have triggered his memory.

She's wearing a hakama.
Wearing one is seen as a sign of respect.
Which is more than one can say for the British newspaper.

I find it hard to believe a country that brought us such great technology & so many sophisticated kpop stage shows is incapable of making a pair of high heels that don't break on a regular basis.

"One clinical psychologist [said] he considers Trump such a 'classic' pathological narcissist that he is actually 'archiving video clips of him to use in workshops because there’s no better example' of the characteristics of the disorder he displays."

Unfit for Office

Donald Trump’s narcissism makes it impossible for him to carry out the duties of the presidency in the way the Constitution requires.

Hey, no one said that I couldn't turn my kpop pals into rock hounds. 😉

And I rallied the kdrama, jdrama, & cdrama folks, too. Lots of color there, too.

Just think...
Netflix's next megahit could be Kpop Rock Hunters 😄

Right? Even the ones that the critics rave about end up being the same neurotic people in a new setting doing essentially the same dumb stuff
