This time of year always makes me a bit melancholic and reserved. By all means I love the weather as it begins to cool off, and I love that it gets dark earlier. I don’t think it’s seasonal affective sads- I think it’s just historically been a rougher period for me so I must associate it that way.

Intro & My take on KM
Hi!
I’m new around here so it’s supposed to be (not so short) introduction, since I don’t know how to start a blog heh. I hope to sprinkle my 0.5 cents into the KM conversation and maybe to bring a new perspective from someone, who is not a part of the typical English-speaking West.
Who /the hell/ Am I?  
(please, consider it to be said with NJ’s voice from Intro: Persona :D)
I was born in Siberia (it’s in the Asian part of Russia), currently live in the European part of the country while studying at a Uni (European in terms of geography, not in terms of everything else i’m definitely not shading rn lolllll). English is not my first language, I’ve just kind of learnt it to some extent. Due to this it takes me more time to write a post; and I may (and will) make some grammatical & other mistakes. Plus I’m lazy AND busy with Uni, so I won’t even promise to be consistent in posting smth lol. But I thought I need more practice in terms of writing in English, so here I am, actually scribbling something. This feels weird, because I’ve been around stan Tumblr since 2015, but never ever interacted, just read.
How I ended up around Jikook/Kookmin (and BTS) & My (long&messy) take on this matter
Although I had heard of BTS before, I became an Army only in October 2018. I had kinda avoided them, because you know... boybands.... sing songs about romantic love and how they love girls.......... (+I had been around Twitter when 1D been at their peak and I remember a quite toxic community of fans, whom always had scared me). Shortly, hello stereotypes. Obviously, after I got engaged I felt terribly sorry that I had been sleeping on them, but what is done cannot be undone. 
Someone I knew back then reposted one of their MVs and I, during my sad hours of procrastination, decided to watch it. Then I saw their live performance with the same song. And I thought “wow these guys can sing and dance and the music is kinda cool, i need to check this out maybe??” 
Then a funny thing happened. One of the next videos I watched (the same person had it added to their page) was a 2016 BangtanBomb where JM and JK practiced their Coming of Age dance. 
Do you know this moment with Gina from the 1st episode of Brooklyn 9-9:
Tumblr media
Well, that was precisely me after I watched it. I don’t even know how to explain this, it was kind of a gut feeling? Whatever you call it, I started to get suspicious and couldn’t even explain to myself why. /actually now a do have questions to this vid and the main one - why does everyone cringe that much? if it’s a girly choreo than they had done some “girly” moves before. why is there such strong reaction??/
I started to get deeper and went to some ru-shipper communities. Shipping culture among Russian speaking fans is... well, weird to some extent, but I maybe address this topic some time later. You need to consider that (as far as you probably know) Russia is quite homophonic country and sadly is not the greatest place for LGBTQ+ community at the moment. The non-frienly influential attitudes hanging in the society + the general shippers’ weirdness = the result is not that nice honestly. 
I struggled for some time in order to find more mature people (not just in terms of age but in general sanity), failed, ended up with some EXTREMELY toxic ru-fans of TK, which was/is the most popular pairing here, spent among them like 15 minutes and ran away horrified. After that I didn’t even try to engage with shippers or believers or whatever of any pair and just decided to enjoy the music and the content (which is a great idea, highly recommend!)
After a couple of days I discovered that JK makes videos. I love video, films and visual art so I immediately found them on YT, saw the titles with names of different cities from all over the world and was like “Oh that must be so cool, he’s visited so many outstanding places I’ve never been to, so I really need to watch it! I shall enjoy some beautyyy”. Then I clicked on GCFt.
Well, what can I say. I did enjoy some beauty, but not the type I had initially anticipated. The biggest clickbait in my entire life. JK should be proud of himself.
Tumblr media
                                       /as I said - the beauty/
I had already known Troy back then and I known the song’s lyrics so it would not be an underestimation to say - the video just blew my mind. I was like - hold on is this real? seriously?? no really really????? he manage to get away with something THAT obvious?????? dude how
As a person who edited videos AND is not a native English speaker, I don’t buy the explanation “oh he mustve didnt get the lyrics lmao”. You just don’t do that. You don’t. DON’T. You google and translate every shit you don’t understand, every word and idiom you’ve never encountered, because otherwise the possibility of an epic failure is very likely. You wouldn’t want to give your mum a video as a birthday present and then discover that you used a song with WAP-ish lyrics, right? (well maybe that would be okay in your family, I don’t judge, but that’s not the case for people I know). So don’t you dare to degrade JK’s intellectual capacities; such assumption is really offensive. He is a smart boii, he knows exactly what he’s doing in terms of his art.
So I was shocked, but decided to look for the context - maybe I missed some previous events regarding this Tokyo thing (another great idea - always check the context). Well, apparently I didn’t, because the whole narrative with the trip for two, lovely selfies etc. made my poor brain lowkey explode. (I still don’t buy the rings theory thing though)
But I didn’t give up lol! I’m a bit stubborn and it’s very hard to convince me in anything, so I decided to search for more context, more of their interactions, moreeee. Remember, the late October 2018, there were no swan lakes, RB, and even MMA18 hadn’t happened yet. 
This time I ended up watching content in more or less consistent way, and when I saw all of these scenes with affectionate JM and a cool badass i-don’t-care-about-anyone-i’m-a-manly-man-with-no-feelings-whatsoever JK, I just hysterically laughed. 
Homophobic Russia, remember? I recognized this. Growing up here being LGBT myself, taught me the same type behaviour during my high school days. When a girl I kinda liked but didn’t what to admit it to myself was nice to me or (oh god) flirted with me, I did something similar. It’s like a huge panic mode. Being an introvert doesn’t help either. The funniest thing is that you may not entirely realise what exactly is going on in terms of your own feelings, especially at that age (16-18ish). In my personal case, I thought I liked her but as a friend, only later to realise that well not as a friend oops :DDD The second thing (already not so funny) is that you actually consciously or unconsciously try to avoid the subject as much as possible, as long as possible and pretend that nothing is going on. We’re just bros. Stop doing this stupid gayish thing and don’t look at me like that, you’re annoying. If you ever do this again I (gently) kick you. I’m straighter than a straight line in my math textbook. IDK, but probably that’s your brain is somehow trying to protect you. Again, in my case&position I knew that the consequences for any non-straight person being outed would be bad (TW not to the point of being killed bad, but to the point of being excluded from a big part of society). So for me it was a mixture of the internalized homophobia + lack of self reflection + just being a bit emotionally slow + very! straight community around. Shit happens, I was a teenager and made my share of mistakes, but that experience helps me to recognize the same pattern of behaviour up to this day.   
So coming back to KM, because the post is already waaay too long and I just ramble. It’s been 2+ years for me being a part of this fandom, and what can I say... Things become more intense and eventful with every year passing by ;) Funny how I felt that vibe from the 2016 dance practice video. Seeing the Black Swan performance a week ago almost had me choked, no joking. They are amazing.
Tumblr media
                                                    Pure Art
However, and I would like to emphasize that, I do not incline that KM are 100% romantically involved and/or gay or whatever. I tend to treat people with respect and not to make too much assumptions about their private life. That’s not my business. However, I’m also not a fan of heteronormativity, so I’m just sitting here and observe everything that’s going on putting some distance and not forgetting being generally polite and critical thinking. But if they are just straightest besties please give them an Oscar before Grammy
Anyways, I hope this blog won’t kick the bucket from the very start and I will post something every now and then. You can always ask me questions about some BTS/Jikook related stuff or something about Russia and a Russian view on mass culture topics, since I’m pretty sure some of you have very stereotypical view of what is going on here :) However, do note that I’ve never been to America or Europe, therefore I may not be aware of something verrrry obvious to you or just have a completely different experience. 
P.S.  And yeah, I’m used to say Jikook, since it’s the name which is used much more frequently in Russian.  i like it better and what will u do haha

Should you conduct your advertising in-house, or hire a specialist? This is the eternal issue for companies both big and small.

 There are numerous variables to take into account including the level of expertise, the complexity of the effort, present inner resources and the management price of a stated expert.
 We are going to come clean. Most of these types of posts are written by an agency of some kind and will therefore obviously have a tendency to be biased towards the benefits of external help. Some might call it prejudice, some would call it scaremongering.
 This guide has been composed by an established internet marketing agency, but one trying to give as objective a view as you can. Subsequently, both choices can have significant drawbacks when those cogs don’t turn quite as easily as intended.
 For a company, the obvious question is: why would you cover a possibly hefty management fee if you were able to find the time in the house and do it yourself? Especially when PPC is only a bidding strategy, and does not call for design or development abilities.
 Utilizing an agency will give you the edge and save money in the long run.
How does the management fee stack up from the true PPC spend and following ROI offered by the effort?
 Above all, what’s the threat profile of the bureau not hitting the anticipated ROI and because of their management fee actually removing each of the margins in the campaign?
 Handling the effort in-house
Do you actually have the in-house tools to properly handle a campaign, or are you simply going to try (unsuccessfully) to squeeze more time out of an already active team? How will this affect other critical daily tasks within the business (i.e. opportunity cost)?
 If you are choosing a new person to run the campaign, what are their complete expenses? Basic salary is the first indicator but what about gains, pension, greater desk expenses?
 Furthermore, is this something that you are committed to for the mid to long-term? Hiring someone is simple, but if that is their only responsibility, they could grow to be an unnecessary part of your cost base should you not continue with the effort. In the UK and EU especially, you cannot then just get rid of the unfortunate spirit without going through a somewhat tough process that will probably involve additional costs such as redundancy pay.
 As you can see above, assessing the cost-effectiveness of service vs in-house involves a whole swathe of variables. No two businesses are the same, and as such, employing a typical equation to this scenario is simply not possible.
Everything depends on the level of knowledge
Knowledge is power, or in the case of PPC, knowledge, and expertise will result in a campaign that outperforms one handled by a beginner. You might get lucky, but as with the majority of things in life, the more experienced practitioner will come out on top. If you are feeling confident in taking managing your PPC campaign on your own, these 6 tips for successful Google AdWords PPC campaigns will help you on your way.
 Taking this into consideration when looking at how to control a PPC effort (agency or in-house), you must first look at the level of knowledge within your team.
 The essentials of a bidding strategy and focusing on search terms that deliver ROI for the company are easy to grasp. However, to actually squeeze the advantages of your spend on PPC you should simply know what it is you are doing. This required level of knowledge is likely to become far greater with more complex campaigns.
 As stated from the previous blog article on this issue, having an expert conduct the first research and set up the campaign is often a cost-effective way of making sure that the campaign gets off on the perfect foot. Much like an initial SEO audit, getting an expert to prepare the campaign could provide you with a sufficiently stable foundation to then handle the campaign in-house.
 Again, we have noticed a plethora of fairly decent campaigns that have been set up by company owners after performing their own research so it still comes back to the level of knowledge (and time) available to you.
 Just how much do you want to spend, and get in return?
There is a reason why different advertising campaigns have different associated costs. Some are very easy, only product localized campaigns whereas others may involve national or international coverage with thousands of individual products.
 Broadly speaking, the more complex the campaign, the higher the budget, and therefore the greater the danger liability of an underperforming effort. It does not only come down to bid alterations.
 Good digital marketing campaigns break down the barriers between departments and channels. Teams now communicate with one another rather than remaining in their silos, mixing to create greater consequences than a number of their individual parts.
 As mentioned, using an agency will give you access to more than just PPC specialists at the top of their game. An amazing PPC campaign will even pull in web design experts, taking into consideration UX/UI, conversion rate optimization, content writing and remarketing (amongst others).
 In the game, it’s often known as ‘marginal profits’, although you might find that an overhaul of your site’s user stream could deliver a lot more than only a marginal advantage. Access to multiple areas is what you possibly turn your back on when conducting a campaign in the house and it can make or break a campaign.
 The core functions apply to the above single product effort just as far as they can go into the international effort; it’s just that the latter has more to lose. As campaigns increase in sophistication, there is a point where you want to fully commit to the process and give the campaign the very best chance of succeeding.
 In cases like this, it’s worth handing it over to a group which specializes in PPC.
Money talks!
In the end, the chance is that if you put an agency’s effort next to one that’s been conducted in-house you’d imagine that the extra level of experience and experience would mean that the agency’s effort would produce better outcomes. All other things being equal you’d decide on the agency nine days out of ten.
 The question, of course, is the agency fees.
 Yes, you can assert that in-house teams have a higher level of industry knowledge, or that a PPC expert will have the ability to make sense of the effort dashboard and use some of the more advanced tools. However, you already know that. That debate is pretty clear (and well covered!).
 In basic terms, how much money are you going to get in return for the corresponding expenses?
Agencies frequently have a minimal fee connected with PPC campaigns. Therefore if your funding for PPC is very modest, for the sake of discussion let us say $500 per month, then you will likely find that the agency charges will exceed the margin made from the campaign.
 Don’t forget to consider your internal margins rather than revenue! In this instance, it’s very likely that having an expert set up the campaign initially is going to be the only option that will produce a meaningful ROI.
 On the other hand, if the agency charge is only a small proportion of the entire budget spend and in turn, the margins out of the campaign exceed the agency fee then it makes sense. The agency provides a much higher level of experience, and may also allow you the flexibility to stop the campaign at any time.
 One size doesn’t fit all
Hopefully, these ramblings have revealed that this not a one size fits all debate. There are simply too many variables.
 My advice would be to base your decision on real-world facts. For instance, we often see business owners try to conduct campaigns themselves (or ask one of their team to do it) without seriously thinking about the time expenditure required. Trust us when we say that in the event that you don’t have the time, it won’t get done. You’re going to wind up spending a chunk of money for 3 months and then giving up without making any adjustments.
 On the other hand, if you do have the time you might find yourself getting to grips with all the effort and raising your sales consequently. It can even indicate you could reduce spend on other marketing channels, all without having to pay a service fee.
 Consider your options before making a decision. Don’t only do PPC for the sake of doing this; there ought to be a true business case put forward which will provide real information as to whether hiring a PPC specialist is going to be a viable option.
 If it transpires that running the effort in-house will function in the actual world, then great, do it! Be flexible, be sensible and you should find yourself making the ideal decision. Recall — both choices can get the job done.

However, to actually squeeze the advantages of your spend on PPC you should simply know what it is you are doing. This required level of knowledge is likely to become far greater with more complex campaigns.
 As stated from the previous blog article on this issue, having an expert conduct the first research and set up the campaign is often a cost-effective way of making sure that the campaign gets off on the perfect foot. Much like an initial SEO audit, getting an expert to prepare the campaign could provide you with a sufficiently stable foundation to then handle the campaign in-house.
 Again, we have noticed a plethora of fairly decent campaigns that have been set up by company owners after performing their own research so it still comes back to the level of knowledge (and time) available to you.
 Just how much do you want to spend, and get in return?
There is a reason why different advertising campaigns have different associated costs. Some are very easy, only product localized campaigns whereas others may involve national or international coverage with thousands of individual products.
 Broadly speaking, the more complex the campaign, the higher the budget, and therefore the greater the danger liability of an underperforming effort. It does not only come down to bid alterations.
 Good digital marketing campaigns break down the barriers between departments and channels. Teams now communicate with one another rather than remaining in their silos, mixing to create greater consequences than a number of their individual parts.
 As mentioned, using an agency will give you access to more than just PPC specialists at the top of their game. An amazing PPC campaign will even pull in web design experts, taking into consideration UX/UI, conversion rate optimization, content writing and remarketing (amongst others).
 In the game, it’s often known as ‘marginal profits’, although you might find that an overhaul of your site’s user stream could deliver a lot more than only a marginal advantage. Access to multiple areas is what you possibly turn your back on when conducting a campaign in the house and it can make or break a campaign.
 The core functions apply to the above single product effort just as far as they can go into the international effort; it’s just that the latter has more to lose. As campaigns increase in sophistication, there is a point where you want to fully commit to the process and give the campaign the very best chance of succeeding.
 In cases like this, it’s worth handing it over to a group which specializes in PPC.
Money talks!
In the end, the chance is that if you put an agency’s effort next to one that’s been conducted in-house you’d imagine that the extra level of experience and experience would mean that the agency’s effort would produce better outcomes. All other things being equal you’d decide on the agency nine days out of ten.
 The question, of course, is the agency fees.
 Yes, you can assert that in-house teams have a higher level of industry knowledge, or that a PPC expert will have the ability to make sense of the effort dashboard and use some of the more advanced tools. However, you already know that. That debate is pretty clear (and well covered!).
 In basic terms, how much money are you going to get in return for the corresponding expenses?
Agencies frequently have a minimal fee connected with PPC campaigns. Therefore if your funding for PPC is very modest, for the sake of discussion let us say $500 per month, then you will likely find that the agency charges will exceed the margin made from the campaign.
 Don’t forget to consider your internal margins rather than revenue! In this instance, it’s very likely that having an expert set up the campaign initially is going to be the only option that will produce a meaningful ROI.
 On the other hand, if the agency charge is only a small proportion of the entire budget spend and in turn, the margins out of the campaign exceed the agency fee then it makes sense. The agency provides a much higher level of experience, and may also allow you the flexibility to stop the campaign at any time.
 One size doesn’t fit all
Hopefully, these ramblings have revealed that this not a one size fits all debate. There are simply too many variables.
 My advice would be to base your decision on real-world facts. For instance, we often see business owners try to conduct campaigns themselves (or ask one of their team to do it) without seriously thinking about the time expenditure required. Trust us when we say that in the event that you don’t have the time, it won’t get done. You’re going to wind up spending a chunk of money for 3 months and then giving up without making any adjustments.
 On the other hand, if you do have the time you might find yourself getting to grips with all the effort and raising your sales consequently. It can even indicate you could reduce spend on other marketing channels, all without having to pay a service fee.
 Consider your options before making a decision. Don’t only do PPC for the sake of doing this; there ought to be a true business case put forward which will provide real information as to whether hiring a PPC specialist is going to be a viable option.
 If it transpires that running the effort in-house will function in the actual world, then great, do it! Be flexible, be sensible and you should find yourself making the ideal decision. Recall — both choices can get the job done.

There are numerous variables to take into account including the level of expertise, the complexity of the effort, present inner resources and the management price of a stated expert.
We are going to come clean. Most of these types of posts are written by an agency of some kind and will therefore obviously have a tendency to be biased towards the benefits of external help. Some might call it prejudice, some would call it scaremongering.
This guide has been composed by an established internet marketing agency, but one trying to give as objective a view as you can. Subsequently, both choices can have significant drawbacks when those cogs don’t turn quite as easily as intended.
For a company, the obvious question is: why would you cover a possibly hefty management fee if you were able to find the time in the house and do it yourself? Especially when PPC is only a bidding strategy, and does not call for design or development abilities.
Utilizing an agency will give you the edge and save money in the long run.
How does the management fee stack up from the true PPC spend and following ROI offered by the effort?
Above all, what’s the threat profile of the bureau not hitting the anticipated ROI and because of their management fee actually removing each of the margins in the campaign?
Handling the effort in-house
Do you actually have the in-house tools to properly handle a campaign, or are you simply going to try (unsuccessfully) to squeeze more time out of an already active team? How will this affect other critical daily tasks within the business (i.e. opportunity cost)?
If you are choosing a new person to run the campaign, what are their complete expenses? Basic salary is the first indicator but what about gains, pension, greater desk expenses?
Furthermore, is this something that you are committed to for the mid to long-term? Hiring someone is simple, but if that is their only responsibility, they could grow to be an unnecessary part of your cost base should you not continue with the effort. In the UK and EU especially, you cannot then just get rid of the unfortunate spirit without going through a somewhat tough process that will probably involve additional costs such as redundancy pay.
As you can see above, assessing the cost-effectiveness of service vs in-house involves a whole swathe of variables. No two businesses are the same, and as such, employing a typical equation to this scenario is simply not possible.
Everything depends on the level of knowledge
Knowledge is power, or in the case of PPC, knowledge, and expertise will result in a campaign that outperforms one handled by a beginner. You might get lucky, but as with the majority of things in life, the more experienced practitioner will come out on top. If you are feeling confident in taking managing your PPC campaign on your own, these 6 tips for successful Google AdWords PPC campaigns will help you on your way.

Agencies frequently have a minimal fee connected with PPC campaigns. Therefore if your funding for PPC is very modest, for the sake of discussion let us say $500 per month, then you will likely find that the agency charges will exceed the margin made from the campaign.
 Don’t forget to consider your internal margins rather than revenue! In this instance, it’s very likely that having an expert set up the campaign initially is going to be the only option that will produce a meaningful ROI.
 On the other hand, if the agency charge is only a small proportion of the entire budget spend and in turn, the margins out of the campaign exceed the agency fee then it makes sense. The agency provides a much higher level of experience, and may also allow you the flexibility to stop the campaign at any time.
 One size doesn’t fit all
Hopefully, these ramblings have revealed that this not a one size fits all debate. There are simply too many variables.
 My advice would be to base your decision on real-world facts. For instance, we often see business owners try to conduct campaigns themselves (or ask one of their team to do it) without seriously thinking about the time expenditure required. Trust us when we say that in the event that you don’t have the time, it won’t get done. You’re going to wind up spending a chunk of money for 3 months and then giving up without making any adjustments.
 On the other hand, if you do have the time you might find yourself getting to grips with all the effort and raising your sales consequently. It can even indicate you could reduce spend on other marketing channels, all without having to pay a service fee.
 Consider your options before making a decision. Don’t only do PPC for the sake of doing this; there ought to be a true business case put forward which will provide real information as to whether hiring a PPC specialist is going to be a viable option.
 If it transpires that running the effort in-house will function in the actual world, then great, do it! Be flexible, be sensible and you should find yourself making the ideal decision. Recall — both choices can get the job done.
