I think it is super obvious that Tae is neurodivergent, how he's neurodivergent (such as what disorder or LD he could possibly have), I have no clue. But it's been my experience as someone who is neurodivergent, and the experience of others I know, that people see us as stupid, or just not able to function in any capacity. I've seen the BT5 members treat Tae this way in their content for years, and while Tae is not my fave person, nor do I think he's someone I could tolerate being around for very long, I hate how they treat him. I also enjoyed it years ago when the members would gush about NJ's IQ and YG would pipe up with "Well I think Tae is a genius". He was so salty, lol.

I wouldn't even be surprised if Tae has a high IQ. He seems to notice things no one else does. A good example is that time they tried to prank them on the train and he told them he knew what they were doing because he saw YG's reflection in the window and he was laughing, and he said cause NJ can't speak English genuinely, like he sounded fake. To me, in my opinion, that's brilliant, and they STILL do not respect his intelligence. I'll bet if Tae built a rocket and sent it to the moon they still wouldn't respect him.

The sad part is no matter what he does, they won't respect or appreciate his contributions. YG is the only one who listened to him and knew how to use his voice in his songs. The rest push him away or use him for clout.

He's obviously different, but how I'm not sure. I hate how people underestimate neurodivergent people and treat them badly. We all bring something to the table and have different visions of the world. Tae's visuals and fandom probably eats the less popular members alive.

Do you think that JK could be autistic too? The guy is very socially awkward but I don't know it's the same case..

With JK, I doubt it. I think he's just an introvert. He tends to be really quiet in interviews, and I've never interpreted him as outgoing. People with autism are not socially awkward or necessarily introverted. People who are socially awkward typically are aware of how their behavior will effect others, or worry about how their behavior effects others (social anxiety), so they avoid social situations. I can't speak for every socially awkward person though, cause everyone is a little different and has had their own experiences. People with autism typically do involve themselves with other people, and they do things in social situations with little or no regard for others and fail to comprehend how their behavior impacts others. But they continue to want to be around other people. Again, I'm not saying Tae is autistic but he most definitely does not consider how his behavior impacts others, that is plainly obvious.

Tae clearly does not care, but it's not malicious. That's why I think he's autistic. Jk has social anxiety. He adjusts his behavior to please @rmys and others without regard to what he wants. I think Ta3hyun of t×t has autism too. He's very unaware of what he's saying and doing. Fans joke that he's a robot or a cat because of his lack of emotional responses. He's had to tell them over and that he's a person and that hurts his feelings.

Lol! Looking for the "highest bidder..." In street parlance, they say high-end "call boy..."

All things aside, I must say Tae is a very gorgeous man! He has an arresting presence...although Jin's charm readily catches attention...

If someone combined his looks and Gin's charm, they would be a lethal combo.

For a group that's on 'hiatus' they're very active! They've learned from other groups and are not making any mistakes I guess. They know their influence on the fandom and the industry would crumble without all these recent releases.

As more of them enlist in the military, they'll become less active. Aside from YG, nobody else in the group is really doing anything right now, and I have a "believe it when I'll see it" attitude toward JK's solo album. They're gonna be doing the military service until 2027/2028 is my best guess. I think it's 18 or 20 months they have to serve, so at the most that's nearly two years. They'll become progressively more inactive over time, and I'm pretty sure if they have a comeback not many people will care.

Assuming they'll reconvene by 2025 in December, at the latest, that means everyone else in the group will have to enlist by May or early June 2024... to complete the 18 month- military service...

Jin will be discharged by June 12, 2024 and will be the ONLY member active by then, followed by Jhope in October, 2024.

If they're aiming at a 12th anniv comeback, then the rest of the members should enlist by Dec 2023...

Otherwise...
