내가 나인 게 싫은 날 영영 사라지고 싶은 날 [On a day you hate being yourself, on a day you want to disappear forever,]
문을 하나 만들자 너의 맘 속에다 [let’s build a door in your mind]
그 문을 열고 들어가면 이 곳이 기다릴 거야 [Once you open the door and enter, this place will wait for you]
믿어도 괜찮아 널 위로해줄 Magic Shop [It’s okay to believe Magic Shop that will comfort you]
Magic Shop - BTS (translation by doolsetbangtan)
This is Muti, still ARMY, still swimming.
If you're reading this, maybe you found me at a concert, through a freebie I left behind, or at army gatherings. Wherever our paths crossed, I hope you see this as a small invitation.
Magic Shop is where I found healing.
Back in 2021, I was a policy researcher learning how to hold space for people. I offered coaching during the #GotARMYRightBehindARMY talent donation drive, and something clicked. Magic Shop became the door I opened when I needed comfort, when I needed to believe it was okay to be soft.
Now it's 2026. I'm a CPCC-certified leadership coach, founder of @beranipenasaran and @_andselfcare (on instagram). I've taken students to Seoul, held healing spaces in Jakarta and Malang, and collected way too many BTS merch along the way. Magic Shop is still there. Not just as a memory, but as a real place I've learned to build for myself and for others.
SWIM is where I find movement.
That song found me differently. It's the song that plays when I'm in the middle of change. Leaving policy research, stepping into coaching, becoming a founder, a mentor, a facilitator. Swim, swim / this is how it all begins. It doesn't promise smooth waters. It just says: keep moving.
Magic Shop taught me it's okay to stop. SWIM taught me it's okay to start again.
I still believe what a former client once said: "I hope more BTS Army get to receive your support."
So this letter is my invitation. If you're curious about coaching, whether you're looking for a place to rest or you're in the middle of your own transition, I'd love to connect. DM me on Instagram (@coachmuti) or email me at coach@andselfcare.com.
No strings. Just a thinking partner, a mirror, a little bit of magic.
Come as you are. We're all gonna keep swimming.
Borahae,
Muti
