Jungkook Vs Junkfood

The phenomenon of Junk food is seen as something that will always close with society. Recently, it seems like this phenomenon will not be as famous as it was because society's interest of junk food has been replaced by Jung kook. BTS the boy group from South Korea have been widely spread their wings in international stage. They catch people's attention no matter what race, age, or even gender with their meaningful songs.

Their latest songs, Boy with Luv, which is a collaboration with pop star artist, Halsey. Has hit Billboard Hot 100 chart. Moreover, BTS is the first Korean group to be nominated into the Billboard Music Awards. For the third year in a row after winning the top social artist (2017-2018) they finally win the top Duo/Group in BBMAs 2019. This achievement is something that cannot be underestimated.

 Then why BTS can beat Junk food popularities? Why should Junk food?

As junk food is addictive for some people, BTS is also addictive in terms of their musicality. A friend of mine who had never listened to KPOP before said BTS songs are so addictive, once you listen to it then it will keep swirling around your head. With their addictive songs, BTS can make someone who had known nothing about Korean songs become addicted to KPOP.

It isn't always easy to get rid of the addiction to something addictive, I, myself always love eating Junk food even though I know that it is not always healthy. Sometimes, I think we as a human need the addictive ones to help us to go through difficulties. People whose heart just broken might have a really bad mood and it usually directs their food. When you feel a particular feeling you normally want to eat something instant or fast food. This emotional eating can be dangerous to our body, and just like BTS, listening to their songs also can direct us to certain mood. For example, one of their song called 'let me know' can make you feel about love hurts.

I once asked my friends about this phenomenon, and their answered was quite surprising; "there's no bad junk food, all good but not healthy, while BTS emm, they are all handsome, but yeah I'm not a fan of them." Sonia (20.y.o) while others "Junk food and Jung kook, I love them, they are addictive, but both are not healthy, one is not healthy for your body, and another is not healthy for your soul, emotion. It is hard to change my addiction" Abiel (20y.o).  their perspective towards this phenomenon leads me to the conclusion, whether Jung kook or Junk food, both have their own place in someone's heart and mind. while I asked the other about the phenomenon itself, one of my friends answering from different and wide perspective of the KPOP phenomenon. Which a lot of Kpoppers have seen since long time ago till now.

"compare with ten years ago, now KPOP has been widely known and as a Kpopper, I used to have a hard time to find someone who has things in common, because I love Korean culture. It is so hard to make friends in the same interest. I used to be a minority just because my sense of music and arts are different with others. But seeing it right now, things has changed a lot, a lot of people have known kpop and it makes me easy to make friends with everyone." Difa (21y.o)

The kpop phenomenon seems to be one way to help people who's not easy to make friends, this phenomenon teaches us, not all things that look different is a bad things. There's always the good in the bad and vice versa.

'as Jung kook; BTS and Junk food are both addictive, it is so hard to get over them. Once you listen, once you eat you will find yourself that you're already trapped in their addictiveness" -resya marchelina, writer.
