Words are very unnecessary

I happened to hear this song today, and it reached my eardrums at just the right moment, as I was texting with a friend regarding the recent Min Yoongi drunk driving arrest. Without going into detail, there was an incident with alcohol and a scooter. He failed the breathalyzer test, had his license suspended for 90 days and received a fine. That’s all I know for certain, so will not make further comment, because it is not mine to make.

However, that certainly didn’t stop ARMY (BTS fans), news reporters, magazines, and social media sites from concocting their own versions of what “really happened”, and what should be done about it. While many supported him, others took to the news like moths to flame, with some calling for him to quit BTS, leave the country, and a whole slew of other unwanted opinions. In other words, they instantly became, prosecutor, judge, jury, and executioner.

In this day and age, it’s so easy to blurt your opinions, without knowing all the facts. Just jump on the bandwagon and spread innuendo. Instead of waiting for the truth to unfold, they consult pop magazines, newspapers, fellow gossipers, and trollers. Do you not realize that the majority of “references” you quote, aren’t trusted sources of information? But obviously, that doesn’t bother you. If someone took the time to make a video, or wrote about it, it must be true, right? And please don’t wait for official press releases from reliable sources like the police, let’s just hang him in the town square. How dare he!

It’s a good thing, that those same people don’t have the capability to judge YOU the same way.
