I'm Virginia Duan, also known as the Mandarin Mama. On this channel, I talk about my eternal love for K-pop boy band BTS, do BTS and K-pop reaction videos, and occasionally talk about writing and teaching kids Chinese. What can I say? I have varied interests.
I am the Entertainment Editor for Mochi Magazine and the Living Justice Editor for Diverging Magazine. You can find my work on various sites like Romper, Mom.com, and Mochi Magazine. I have profiled and written features of K-pop stars like Ailee and actors like Dustin Nguyen and David Lim. For more examples of my work, check out my portfolio: virginiaduan.contently.com/
In addition, I host a podcast show about being a middle aged female BTS fan called Noona ARMY Podcast. I'm the founder of BrAzn AZN, the only retreat for Asian Pacific Islander Desi American (APIDA) creatives and influencers. Find out more at: braznazn.eventbrite.com
Sinceramente esperaba algo así, más contenido creativo que una coreografía de baile, para eso ya hay los otros videos. Como todos he reido y disfrutado mucho con este video, ha quedado perfecto, Jin siempre da a sus proyectos esa chispa de alegría, que hace tanta falta. Aunque él siga diciendo que le da mucha vergüenza y que lo compartan poco; sabe que el efecto será lo contrario, es un personaje admirable y talentoso; se reinventa constantemente. Lo admiré desde el primer momento que lo conocí, y lo apoyo siempre, he aprendido mucho de él, y he reido mucho gracias a él. He visto en muchos grupos y asociaciones que organizan talleres de Risoterapia, muy beneficioso para nuestra salud, Jin es esa persona ideal con la que puedes reír con sus ocurrencias. Ahora apoyar a Super Tuna para que nuestro chico se sienta orgulloso y no vuelva avergonzarse. Bello ángel Jin ❤❤.
His instructions were to watch it, at home, alone- and don't show it to anyone else. Like it, but not too much. I don't like it; I love it. It was the happiest moment of my week. That, and you wiping away the tears 😂
Really.. the laugh is one thing. He wanted everyone to smile and laugh. The other thing.. can we normalise not deeming things that we don’t get stupid? It could totally be a you problem that you don’t know him enough to understand why he does what he does. And doesn’t meet your expectations of how one in his position should behave. He doesn’t have that stick in his butt you people soo proud of your achievements have.
@@MandarinMama course. Enlighten me on the context of “he’s so hilarious it’s stupid and I will show this song to my less mature kids and they will love it.” Cause what Jin wanted is to entertain your kids, right?
@@theitgal100 Why wouldn't he want to entertain kids? It's really difficult to walk the line of "stupid" humor and be smart about it - and Jin does it supremely well! Slapstick humor is difficult to pull off - and then you add Trot and the topic matter on top of that! "Stupid" humor is notoriously difficult to do well, and that's why movies like "Dumb and Dumber" or "Anchorman" are genius level work. Incidentally, "stupid" is also used in slang as "excellent" and "brilliant," so maybe just cool your jets a smidge.
You can watch his Weverse live video before the release to hear him speak about the timing although the auto translate isn't that good. He indicated there that it was a couple of months ago , August I believe.
@@daisyfong9842 jin was released in June, and his hair is longer in this video that means military let them grow their hair before they were release from.the military
@@cynthiarocas3168 Yes Jin was released on 12 th June and we clearly saw his hair length was much shorter then - when he had the hug event and his one hour ' Message from Jin ' concert. This video showed much longer hair so presumably it was in August as he indicated on his Weverse live .
@@daisyfong9842 Jin is really a hardworking and dedicated person. After he was released from military Jin dont take a break, after a week or two he climbed Mt Halassan , and then Milan fashion show, Run Jin, Parus Olympics, photoshoots for a brand, recording, and now Jin is in the USA. , oh i forgot the hug event.
I think your reaction is EXACTLY what Jin wanted!! He’s soooooo unserious & so freaking adorable!!! I just can’t with him… This is why ARMY LOVES him so much!!❤❤❤
@@mlynlim5337si, esa palabra no me gustó, quizás para ella tiene otra intención, en todo caso lo corregeria. Lo bueno, que después del ataque de risa; dice que la palabra está demás y que lo ama mucho. Me encanta todos los muñecos de Jin que tiene en su cama, ya me encantaría tener uno😊😊
As a 57 yr old West Indian Army Mom. Who discovered them in 2016…just before they blew up in the states? Starting with The Ellen Show. Having seen and delved into all their ‘Shows’….from Run BTS. My fave over the past 8 yrs have always been ‘In The Soop’. Honest behind the scenes…footage. They simply fly BTS to a Country. From Malta to New Zealand. Drop them off. Is HILARIOUS…watching them divvy the bedrooms with their ‘Rock Paper etc’. My point was. No lie. Despite my age. Bawled my arse off first time it dropped. Was so heart felt…RM being vulnerable. Telling his truth. Although he did the same YEARS AGO with ‘Forever Rain’…..which funny enough…..never got as many views or press as this one did. Pity. Even back then….YEARS AGO. HE was already speaking of his feelings and……feeling sympathy. For those in his Country who walked the streets……alone. Feeling the same sense of loneliness with an anonymous stranger in Seoul. My point is: Millions of us cried - around the 🌎. When it dropped. And we Army have always said: When you laugh? We’ll laugh alongside you. When you cry……you’ll never cry alone. Stay safe Ma Belle 💜💜💜
Its Diddly and his son King Combs . Didn't age well this video . I just kept thinking about what happened afterwards ? Still love ur reaction and the song .
