Sometimes I feel like Jungkook is battling 2 sides within himself constantly. When he was younger he used to say "I don't pay too much mind about what people think of me" and he said that he hopes that Armys would understand his fashion choices cause that's what he likes to wear+
and even when it comes to tattoos, he first said in AHL that he really wants one and that fans will understand if they really love him, then deciding against it and finally getting a full on tattoo sleeve like he alwys wanted
then having to apologise for living his life, having to keep his head down in shame when he didn't even do anything wrong, having to hide his tattoos and humble himself so that they wouldn't criticise him too much...
It's as if he's fighting within himself to retain some of his childhood dreams and aspirations but at the same time trying to conform to the impossible expectations that fans have for him...
Even DCCM was about his inner turmoil of trying to figure out which one is "the real him"
This idol life is all he's ever known so he feels obligated to please us and yet the "fans" keep trying to break his spirit. I hope he can adopt that old mentality of living authentically and be free. He just wants to live his life according to his own standards.
Let him. Please.
