Author’s Note:
This haiku playfully reflects on the timelessness of a certain member of BTS, known affectionately as “hyung” by the other members. In Korean, “hyung” is a term used by younger males to address an older brother or an older male friend. It’s a term that carries respect, camaraderie, and a sense of brotherhood.
The haiku hints at this “hyung’s” seemingly ageless appearance, despite the passage of time. Often admired for his enduring good looks and youthful energy, he has earned the affectionate nickname of a “vampire” among fans for his ability to look as if he hasn’t aged a day since the group’s debut.
If you’re familiar with BTS, can you guess which member this haiku is alluding to? Here’s a final clue: He’s often praised for his visuals and is known for his playful, fun-loving personality that has charmed fans worldwide.
Bangtan hyung, for real?!
Even as time passes by
Time cannot defeat
Korean:
방탄 형 진짜?!
세월 지나도 그대로
시간 못 이겨
