I’m introducing something different on this site: a collection of poems, offering a refreshing break from the usual content.

This haiku was originally published on June 17, 2017, during BTS Festa—a two-week celebration of BTS’s debut anniversary shared with their fans, known as ARMY.

*”막내” (maknae) is a Korean term used to refer to the youngest member in a group. This could apply to a family, a group of friends, or any other type of collective, including professional or social settings. In Korean culture, being the 막내 often comes with specific roles and expectations. The 막내 is typically shown extra care and affection but might also be given more minor or less desirable tasks, reflecting a mix of endearment and the expectation to respect elders and senior members of the group.
