I have been trawling Twitter for links to the GQ and Vogue interviews and all I got for now are snippets and screenshots from fans. Syempre, una kong hinanap ang kay Joonie.
As expected mind blown na naman ako sa sagot niya sa tanong ng GQ tungkol sa BTS and ARMY relationship. Thank you for the respect, Joonie. Biruin mo, fan ka rin ng ARMY. Sinong idol or artist/musicians ang fan ng sarili niya/nilang fandom? Friends forever. Ganyan. Though I can’t help but sense his recognition of the uncertainty that the future holds based on his answer. There is the acknowledgement of the impermanence of all things including our relationships with people we hold dear. May kurot sa puso.
While Joonie makes sense of the ephemeral, two things strike me while he was in the US. First is his IG handle, @rkive and second is his cross country visits to museums. Archives and museums (as well as libraries) are institutions of memory. Places where art, cultural symbols and historical artifacts are preserved, conserved, protected and fairly distributed to the public. He has been dropping hints on his views on the temporary nature of art, how artists make them and the value of leaving a legacy so that future generations can examine, enjoy and take inspiration from what they have created.
Visiting museums have many benefits. For Joonie, so it seems, being in a museum is also a way of learning the sustainability of art, especially music. ARMYs on Twitter connect the dot based on previous interviews with Joon. The vision of Bangtan's leader is wide and encompassing. It would be really cool to visit the Hybe museum in South Korea!
