Jin's Heartbreak Is Saving Lives IRL! (Instructions Inside)

Jin's Heartbreak Is Saving Lives IRL! (Instructions Below)

CPR. The lifesaving rhythm that can save a person's life when their heart stops is based on a very specific pattern. Over the years, people have used popular songs that match the BPM of CPR. 

I am so happy but not shocked that experts have determined that Jin's "Don't Say You Love Me" fits the formula for this lifesaving rhythm. 

The power of a song like "Don't Say You Love Me" (112 BPM) is that it acts as a metronome, helping you maintain the critical 100 to 120 compressions per minute rate required for effective hands-only CPR.

It’s a true testament to the kind of profound, world-changing energy Jin brings to the world!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In an emergency, every second counts. Remember the two key steps: Call 911 and Push Hard and Fast.

Step 1: Check the Scene & Call for Help

1. Check: Make sure the scene is safe. Gently tap the person and shout, "Are you okay?"

2. Look: If the person is unresponsive and not breathing (or only gasping), they need help immediately.

3. Call: Have someone call emergency services (911 in the US/Canada) right away and find an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) if available. If you are alone, call immediately before beginning compressions.

Step 2: Set the Beat (The "Crescent Clicks" Method)

1. Position: Place the person on their back on a firm, flat surface (like the floor).

2. Hand Placement: Kneel beside the person. Place the heel of one hand in the very center of their chest (on the breastbone). Place the heel of your other hand on top of the first, interlacing your fingers, making sure they are up off the chest.

3. Body Position: Lock your elbows and position your shoulders directly over your hands. Use your entire body weight, not just your arms.

Step 3: Push Hard and Fast to the Music

 

This is where the rhythm of "Don't Say You Love Me" becomes your metronome.

• Rate: Push down hard on the beat of the song—aiming for one compression per beat.

• Depth: Push down at least 2 inches (about 5 cm) for an average adult.

  Recoil: Ensure you fully allow the chest to return to its normal position after each compression. This is essential for the heart to refill with blood.

The Real-Time Action: Start the song in your head (or play it if you can), and push down once for every beat.

1-2-3-4... Don't—Say—You—Love—Me... 1-2-3-4...

Step 4: Keep Going

Continue the compressions—hard and fast, without interruption—until one of the following happens:

• Emergency responders or an AED arrives.

• The person starts moving, breathing, or showing obvious signs of life.

• You are too exhausted to continue.

The goal is to keep that oxygenated blood flowing to the brain until professional help takes over. By knowing the music, you are already halfway to knowing the rhythm of survival.
