April 21, 2016. Remembering Prince. Oscar & other award winner. One of the greatest of our time. He built the Minneapolis Sound: funk, rock, synth & drum machine fused distinctly. Great lyricist. Played 20+ instruments. Cities worldwide lit buildings purple in tribute on 4/21/16. #Prince #PurpleRain

“C’mon Wing!”

I was feeling a little unmotivated this morning, but then I heard Jimin encouraging me to “C’mon Wing!” and I hopped out of bed and made coffee.

Thank you for my new mantra, Jiminie.

“C’mon Wing!”

Mind your business. Hobi owes nobody an explanation regarding how he grieves & how he honors his grandmother. Some ARMY are insufferably inappropriate—questioning whether he should be performing or go home in the wake of his grandmother’s death. Just mind your !&*# business.

Are you a fan of the band BTS? You may have seen a teaser video last month for the band's new album, "Arirang," which shares its name with a beloved Korean folk song. The video alluded to the first recording ever made of that song, a nearly 130-year-old wax cylinder preserved here at the Library. 🧵

I instantly get emotional when I hear this song. Taehyung’s pure heart is all over this song. It’s the top song on the album for me.

Into the Sun was performed live today in the pouring rain! This gem of a song gets a lot of hate from folks who don’t know the difference between the vocoder & auto tune. It’s a shame! This beautiful anthem has been undermined by some ARMY. It’s such a moving, Broadway-level anthem. #bts #army #kpop

I love this album! I think the songs are fun to listen to and incredibly meaningful. If there is anything everyone can understand to connect through music it’s love and longing. It was a great comeback and I’m so happy that BTS is making music together again!

Collage of 4 pictures. 2 of Soojoon at the top and 2 of Sohyun bottom
Top Left: A dramatic, extreme close-up of a person's eye. The focus is intense, with long, light-colored hair partially veiling the face. The lighting creates a heavy shadow, highlighting a bold, dark eyeliner look.
​Top Right: A classic studio portrait of a model with bleached hair. They are wearing a dark, long-sleeved top and a watch, with their hands held elegantly near their chest. The lighting is soft but directional, highlighting their bone structure against a neutral gray background.
​Bottom Left: A wide, cinematic shot set in what appears to be a brutalist or industrial ruin. A figure stands with their back to the camera, wearing thigh-high boots and holding two swords (katanas) out to their sides. Mist or smoke swirls at their feet, adding to the dramatic, action-oriented feel.
​Bottom Right: A close-up portrait of a woman with dark hair. A blade—likely a sword—is positioned diagonally in the foreground, partially obscuring the lower half of the frame. Her expression is calm and piercing, creating a "warrior-chic" vibe that mirrors the bottom-left image.
​Overall Aesthetic
​The collage utilizes black and white photography to unify the different scenes. It bridges the gap between high-fashion editorial and action-cinema, playing with themes of strength, mystery, and sharp visual lines.
