#alwayswithgot7

Okay so after scrolling through Tumblr, Instagram, and my other social media accounts there's been a lot going on with Got7. Preferably there are three things that are going around and making everyone freak the hell out. One is BamBam saying the n-word. Two is Yugyeom's allegedly being drunk. Three is Mark having a tattoo.

 

One, BamBam didn't know about the n-word being a derogative term. Honestly when I saw the video I felt offended by it at first, but then I thought "Hey this kid is from Thailand and he works in South Korea. He's never been exposed to anything like this." I couldn't jump at him, drag him across the mud, and drop him over the cliff. Because what kind of fan would I be if I did that to BamBam? Apparently one of those fans who doesn't care about their idol. BamBam had apologized through Instagram, even though he wasn't supposed to bring up about it. I forgive him for saying it; I heard that his sister said she was going to talk to BamBam to educate him about using that word.

 

Two, Yugyeom being drunk. You guys have got to realize something, Yugyeom is Korean. In Korea the age for drinking is 19 (So I've heard). A lot fans in the fandom and outside are saying that he shouldn't have been drinking at all. Here's what I have to say: For those of you who have been drinking before you even reached 21... who the hell are you to say that he shouldn't be drinking at all. I admit that I had my first taste of alcohol by the age of 14. Bad decision -- yes. Am I still drinking -- hell no. In the snap vid, there wasn't any evidence of alcohol.

 

Three, Mark's tattoo. Okay this Idgaf about, because I knew Mark had a tattoo waaaayy before this spurred up. It's a cross sign, on the back of his left calf. It's fine. It is Mark's body he can do whatever he wants. The tattoo can only be seen if he's wearing shorts without socks to cover it up or any makeup. I already know that Korea thinks that a tattoo means that you're associated with gangsters.

I just want to say this: BamBam I hope you've learned the error of your ways and I forgive you for using the term. As a black Kpop fan, it did make me uncomfortable but I see no reason of hating you for it. I hope you become educated my friend. Yugyeom, I have no reason to throw you under the bus for your underaged drinking in the U.S. As for Mark well... your tattoo is just fine with me.

 

Don't give me fire for this, because this is only my opinions, my views on these three subjects. I nearly cried myself to sleep last night thinking of what may happen to Got7 after this whole circumstance. I wish the best for all seven of these boys from Jaebum, Junior, Jackson, Mark, Youngjae, Bambam, and Yugyeom. I will be #alwayswithgot7.

I completely agreement. Mark is old enough to do what he wants, and its his body. Yugyeom is old enough in Korea to drink, so even if he was drinking, its not a new concept to him. Plus, American Kpop fans shouldn't say because there are tons of them that are hypocrites from drinking themselves. And BamBam hears that word a lot from his favorite artists. Any foreigner could make that mistake if they hear it in contemporary music without much other exposure. Do I blame any of them? Nope. And I'm still their fan.
