On this date ten years ago, Namjoon released this music video on youtube!

Please watch and join the discussion below!

All are welcome to join the discussion!

It is a cover of Kanye's West's Power to which he wrote Korean lyrics.



Here is an English Translation:

Bangtan Boys, I'm RAP MONSTER
and I'm 19 I got no rights to vote.
You know the future is mine too, leggo!

Beginning December 19th the clock starts winding in Korea.
It's the day the whole country uses their "magic".
It comes out from the tip of your hands, and then all the results are in.
However, I think many of you still don't know yet.
The power that you and I possess.
In order to not elect the opponent, we continue campaigning.
Calling ourselves a nation is wrong when you're being apathetic.
(21st century Schizoid Man)

30 years ago some would do anything to give in that one vote,
but now you avoid it even though they're offering things to get you to vote?
(Are they stupid?) Your vote is worth 30000 won ($29-30 USD)
that's how much your total tax is worth for these 5 years specifically.
So giving up your vote isn't making things neutral. It's just an undeclared vote.
Go vote or do something, before you make any blames and criticisms.
It's like the college entrance exams (why?)
because it all depends on how you do.
If you don't pick something then don't expect anything significant.
During the 5 years, will you note how much weight that one paper holds?
Voice Of The Everybody, just vote
If you want to voice out your opinions, then go ahead by voting.
The power that you and I possess.
In order to not elect the opponent, we continue campaigning.
Calling ourselves a nation is wrong when you're being apathetic.
Vote is yours, but future is ours.

VOTE, or just SHUT UP



Here is where I got the translation:

What do you think of Namjoon's cover? 

What do you think he was trying to communicate to Korean youth at this time?
