Between security and insecurity, you meet me in the middle, and in the middle, I’m braver.
It is our common ground and I am certain that it is the closest thing — if
not the best — I could get and be with you in this world full of failures,
victories, certainties, and trepidation. It’s like a match made in heaven – you,
doing the things that you love, and I, loving the things that you do.
Eyes on You in Jakarta, Indonesia
I would like to believe that my insecurities are introspective– if there is even a thing – because I tend to grapple with my dark days until it feels like there is nothing I can do to stop it. But because of you, your music, your personalities, among grand schemes of things, I learned how to face my demons. Since I met you, I always think about a beautiful sky, even on bad days, and thank you for being the sunshine.
I was never a fan of KPop. I even told my self that I will never delve anywhere near their world. Now, I am eating my words.
I was in Mindanao when my best friend asked me if I want to go to Indonesia. To complete my Southeast Asia travel bucket list, I impulsively said yes without really knowing why she wanted to go.
Little did I know, that impulsiveness would change my life for the better. I said yes for a GOT7 concert. I believed in a beautiful sky since then.
GOT7 is a South Korean boy group under the JYP entertainment. Composed of seven talented kings — JB, Mark, Jackson, Jinyoung, Youngjae, BamBam, and Yugyeom — they have been dominating the world scene flying high with the hearts and souls of Ahgases (the fandom).
GOT7 debuted last January 2014, and in as much as the world knows about how amazing they are, they get the least recognition from where they came from. But that doesn’t bring our hopes down.
It’s always gonna be GOT7 because these men, who work harder than any person I know, have been giving their all to showcase their undeniable talent. Their teamwork is undoubtedly steady that they share a connection more than biological brothers. When they are together, respect, love, joy, and charm just overflow.
It’s always gonna be GOT7 because these kings are multilingual. Three out of seven of them are not even from Korea but they speak the language as if they own them.
Mark Tuan is American-born Chinese. He speaks fluent English, Mandarin, Korean, and even Japanese.
Jackson Wang is the most multi-lingual of them all. He was born in Hongkong and studied at a premiere English school until high school. He speaks straight Mandarin, Cantonese, English, Korean, and an intermediate level of Japanese and French.
Bambam, on the other hand, was born in Thailand. Just like his brothers, he speaks English, Japanese, Korean, a little bit of the Chinese language, and of course Thai.
The other four — JB, Jinyoung, Youngjae, and Yugyeom — are warm-blooded Koreans who also speak English and Japanese as needed. These are the boys that Korea is still missing.
It’s always gonna be GOT7 because what people don’t know is that these boys always look for the beautiful sky even if the clouds are gray. They don’t know that JB cares for the six members more than like his brothers even though he’s an only child. JB is the epitome of a leader that will selflessly take all the darkness for the other members to shine.
They don’t know that Mark, being the oldest of them all, is quiet but is always thoughtful to his brothers. That Jackson, even if he’s sweet and extra, gives everything he has in anything that he does. He works so hard that at 23, he now owns his own label — Team Wang, based in China.
That Jinyoung’s outright honesty gives the group a more reason to stick to each other. They don’t know that Youngjae, their power vocal, is always the eternal sunshine– whose smile can literally brighten up an otherwise gloomy day.
It’s always gonna be GOT7 because even if people don’t know about Bambam’s hardwork and love for his family given with his childish yet mixture nature; or Yugyeom’s playful yet serious on contributing to the success of GOT7 — my heart will always belong to them.
It’s always gonna be GOT7 because even if South Korea doesn’t give their full attention to my kings, the world knows that the crowning glory belongs to the ones whose hearts are pure and full of compassion.
It’s always gonna be GOT7 because when the love and respect overflow from the group, it radiates to the good hearts of their fans. Ahgases are blessed.
