Favorite Tweets: 2016 to 2017

The very nature of Twitter is that tweets roll by and then disappear — or, rather, get hidden by a mountain of more recent tweets.

But there are some tweets that I would like to remember. Like this:

Movie star #KimSooHyun on the left and #SonOfJae. I think the kid’s quite handsome. https://t.co/TDxCwB8LH3 pic.twitter.com/aosd2AdInG

My #RapMonster column in today’s @ChicagoTribune. If you visit Korea, the #BTS star recommends visiting the beautiful Han River. #BTSarmy pic.twitter.com/9CiFkV0zC1

The world was watching & BTS showed how it’s done! Great lyrics, showmanship & choreography. So incredibly proud of these young Korean men.🇰🇷 #BTSxAMAs

A group of girls told my son he looked like Suga. He was embarrassed & told me later he thinks he looks like RM. (He doesn’t.🤣) A friend’s son wants to BE G-Dragon. When I was their age, there were no Asian role models in the U.S. What an exciting time it is now for young folks.

At my parents’ house, I found a scrapbook of some of my writing. There was a piece I wrote about #AsianRepresentation that still holds true today. They had also saved pages from @RollingStone & @EW that ran my reviews. I didn’t know my parents even knew what those mags were.😊💜 pic.twitter.com/sWvYlNGBv0

— Jae-Ha Kim 김재하 (@GoAwayWithJae) December 30, 2017

So, this page is more for myself than anyone else, really. It’s a reminder of some of the things that have been tweeted at me … and some that I tweeted myself.

Nice guys don't have to tell people they're nice. Just like saying, "I'm not a racist, but…" doesn't mean you're not a racist.

I used to wish I had been a teenager during the Beatles era. Now I think about how fun it must be to be young during the BTS era. When I was growing up, I never thought a Korean band would become popular outside of Korea. Enjoy it all!❤ https://t.co/k3P6MLMHEB

🇰🇷With all the pressures of being the 1st Korean group to do this & that, @BTS_twt delivered! The MIC DROP @SteveAoki remix is exceptional. I often talk about BTS' lyrics, but their message–esp. in Korean–is spot on.🎤Hmmm, should I intervu Steve next? https://t.co/QsnGtvf8h9

This 2012 @WIRED article is the best piece I've read about how antis almost ruined @blobyblo's career (and, to an extent, his life). This sounds clickbaity, but I remember being shocked at who was behind the dragging. It's worth reading: https://t.co/0KE7gipIdE #TABLO #EPIKHIGH

When I was in Korea recently, I was set to interview a well known idol who's signed to one of the "Big Three." The agency gave me a list of demands, including a promise that they would SUE ME (& I would be responsible for their legal fees) if I wrote anything negative.🤪 pic.twitter.com/nClOhoPxwH

My worlds collide. Chicago's @falloutboy collaborated with Seoul's RM. A few years ago, Pete Wentz & I discussed Korea, BBQ & K-Pop. He loved it all. I'm gonna get him hooked on kimchi next.🇰🇷Well done, boys! Congrats all around. #RMxFallOutBoy @BTS_twt https://t.co/7GfMl7eevx

PSY opened the doors. BTS kicked through it. PSY was viewed as somewhat of a fun oddity. BTS has a set list of songs that fit well in international radio play. They also present Asian men in a positive frame & in that sense are certainly more influential (even b4 they've peaked).

What I really like about this message is that he's hopeful, but not discounting the fact that everyone is bound to experience tough days. Navigating your way through difficult times is a part of life that sometimes seems insurmountable. Try not to give up. #화이팅 #HappyNewYear https://t.co/P65pT0m8M3
