hey there hope you’re doing well! i remember few months ago u posted Chan’s insta live with subs on yt i think? I wanted to rewatch but couldn’t find them in your cards. I’d appreciate it if you could help me out ):
Sorry and thank u for always providing us Channie’s updates I’m forever grateful that you’re taking a time of your day to bring us closer to Chan with your translations!
thank you so very much for the sweet message!! here's the link: https://youtu.be/dItnM_qM3ZQ?si=wNxCsIqRqkAFtuOj
Really appreciate you not censoring his messages 🫶🏻

genuinely curious…? Why is everyone panicking over Chan’s latest msgs…? I’m someone who isn’t often in here i only joined the fandom recently and ur acc being the few accs of me accessing Chan’s updates. I don’t understand why him being vulnerable and sharing his thoughts is leading to the whole fandom censoring his words? Like who cares what others gonna say about him he’s allowed to feel down just like the rest of us why this fandom make a big deal of everything he says I wonder if it’s like this cuz he type out his msgs in English too cuz i haven’t seen the same thing happening with the other members even when they msg about their visual/weight/concerns. Why his words always get censored?
hi! first of all welcome, i hope despite everything you're finding it fun to be here!
so this is unfortunately a question i don't have a straight answer to. a lot of it stems from the need to quote unquote protect him from hate. the problem with that is people who hate on him don't really need much to get them going, he can breathe and they'll find stuff to use against him so in my humble opinion when his own fandom immediately reacts to the slightest hint of vulnerability shown by rolling down the shutters it just brings way more attention to it than it would if everyone just. reacted normally as with every other message. it definitely plays a part that he translates his own messages, since a lot of the hate stems from international kpop fans it's easier to verbatim use his own words against him. up to a point i get the sense of protectiveness and the caution shown, but i did create this account for people who can't afford the subscription to see his texts and its the biggest reason why i post everything. today alone ive had so many people come to me to tell me i "don't give a fuck" about him and "couldn't care less" if he gets hate because i posted what he sent, it's a hoot! sorry i went on a ramble and didn't even end up really answering your questions, i hope you can find some of this useful regardless.
ah i can see why you thought that! he said 주마등이 “스쳐” 지나가는 instead of 계속! even without 처럼 we just say 주마등이 스쳐/지나 등등 ! the lamp is very rare unless topic is about that specific lamp (i hope you don’t mind me explaining, sorry if it’s rude ㅠ)
not rude at all! i appreciate it, i know more now than i did an hour ago, thank you!
good job on the translation! if u don’t mind me adding, in korean we use the phrase 주마등처럼 as an idiom! chan meant that when they’re with stays performing everything goes by in a blur!
hello! thank you, i did add that in my original translation as a possible explanation to what he meant! i just didn't hear him say 처럼 no matter how many times i replayed it, just "무대하면서도 이렇게 주마등이 계속 지나가는" which is why i used the meaning i did and put an asterisk for the other possible explanation :]
hello!! are you going to translate today's ending ment as well 🥹?
i got a couple dms about it as well, i definitely will! can't promise it'll go up any faster than the last one did tho!!
op says “fighting!” and chan replies “fightinggggg” back in japanese but written with hangul! https://x.com/lettersfromchan/status/1829778384244916239?s=46
thank you!
how long have you been learning korean for? do you take classes?
pretty much since i first got into kpop someee 5 years ago? but only started being more consistent about it a couple years ago. it's mostly a loooooot of self study, i took some beginner classes while i was in uni since they were available to me but haven't studied it in an organized environment since, tho i do eventually want to get back it into it!! unfortunately it's currently really hard finding available classes that i can fit into my work schedule :(
do you have any accs other than this one? feel free to ignore this if it makes u uncomfy omg u just seem like u would be a great moot 😭
haha thank you for thinking so! i do but it's a locked one with very few followers!
Hi hope you don’t mind me dropping a translation of chans speech 😭 just in case anyone still wanted it! (this is after the 안 울어!! part)
“It’s been 7 years since we started and a lot of time has passed. Though our music might be a bit “special”, thank you for continuing to love our music from the very start. We sincerely talked about the things we want to say, the music we wanted to do, and our concerns with the members, and I think it gave us a lot of strength. Stays as well say they receive strength from our music, and to be honest just that alone is enough for us. “This and that” those kinds of things aren’t necessary, just the strength of people listening to our music is enough. We’re still studying together, studying the stage, studying music for how we can make this more enjoyable for Stays- ah suddenly I started talking a lot sorry anyways haha~ Thats how much we think of you, you’re precious, our Stays. Stays. are. precious. ANYWAYS! Should we take a pic?~~”
thank you, i'll post this for people looking!
Hi hope u good! If it isn’t much to ask and whenever you have time can you translate Channie’s “thank you” message of today’s con… I’ve tried to decipher it with my broken Korean but couldn’t): here’s the link: https://twitter.com/bxxxxxxxxg/status/1827654283573211489/video/1
Please do not feel pressured to translate it if you don’t want to or u don’t have time. Just ignore this request instead!
hi hi!! i did very much start translating from this video but the my pace bgm is so obnoxiously loud that i was left with a lot of blank spaces and i don't want to post anything i'm not confident in so im waiting for people to hopefully upload clearer videos!!
pls don’t be discouraged from translating!! ur literally the only chan translator i know of that gives accurate trans + calls out the weirdos in the qrts so that they don’t get away with it (which i think is rly important unlike Some chan accs who translate cough who just let the akgaes run wild in their mentions without calling them out bc they agree w them) i totally get u having the best interest in mind and not wanting ppl to take ur trans and use them to hate on other members, but u shouldn’t have to feel the need to filter urself from Very Normal and cute moments bc those ppl were just looking for anything to use to hate on and make chan look bullied/pitiful for their “collection” in the first place y'know? (it also helps that we can see who’s being weird in ur qrts so we can also block/report them!) ur doing so great and ik it’s so stressful at times as a translator but i hope u don’t get discouraged from ppl who don’t deserve the time of day and are simply bitter that they couldn’t even dream of having a close relationship w chan! (side note sorry for this long ass ask 😭 but do u know of any chan protection accs that will take reports of their own solo/akgaes bc i’ve tried to send in multiple tweets to this one chan protect acc and they’ve ~ignored~)
thank you for this message!! i did feel sorry deleting that in the end but i was getting really stressed seeing all the qrts and even thought i was blocking everything hateful i could see i didn't want people to think i just let it keep spreading? so i kind of gave up. but you're right and i know there wasn't anything inherently harmful about the translation itself! it just got messy when people started piling up on the mean qrts as well because it brought more attention to them and it all sucked as a situation in general!! im afraid idk of any active protect accs, im sorry i can't help 😭😭😭
“let ppl be” and it’s someone being a straight up anti on YOUR acc that U get notifs for i really can’t 😭
THAT'S WHAT'S GETTING ME THE MOST like I didn't go out of my way to find you I literally get notifications when people quote My tweet???? "they're not even talking to you" ok so why are you in my house?????
ur literally one of the only chan accs that use their platform to keep it real and call out weird solo stans and akgaes of his and ilyy for that
♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
why did i know They would be trying to start shit as soon as u posted the translation omg… bring back public humiliation bc its obsession at this point 😭 https://x.com/lettersfromchan/status/1826948032245461492?s=46
at this point im considering just never translating anything again like it's so discouraging to see shit like that in my notifs as someone who loves all the kids immensely
