Omg my baby so explained this so well

Hi,

I just wanted to ask if white day is a special day for Jikook

I’ve seen all sorts of posts today but couldn’t grasp the timeline? Has it only been since 2022 that they’ve done something that is known?

Cheers

Hi Anon 😊

Before we dive into this post, let's first see what White Day is.

In South Korea, March 14th is celebrated as White Day, exactly one moth after Valentine's Day. In SK Valentines Day is traditionally focused on women. It is the woman who express her love for her man through gifts. And on White Day the man who received gifts on Valentine's Day is expected to return the favor with gifts of his own.

So, basically White Day is considered as an important day for couples in SK.

On 14th March 2022, White Day, Jimin opens his IG and posts a pic of him and Jungkook backstage during their PTD concerts:

As expected it sent us into chaos, a happy delightful chaos. But it didn't stop there. Later we found out that Jikook went out for dinner on White Day joined by Jimin's friends.

Not only that but in the restaurant pic we couldn't help but notice Jungkook wearing a cap that most likely belonged to Jimin. The one that has "Jimin" written on the back. Just another detail adding to the Jikook filled night.

And just when we thought that was it, Jikook dropped the biggest bomb with the release of the BTS Monuments documentary. That's when we finally got the whole picture.

On March 13th 2022, just two hours after their concert, Jungkook arrives at Jimin's apartment. We know this from the date displayed on Jimin's fridge. Jimin orders fried chicken for them and Jungkook also cooks them dinner. They spend the night together. And the next day, which is White Day they head out for dinner together from Jimin's apartment.

Most jkkrs here, myself included believe that Jikook have been living together for a long time now. So, hearing and seeing all of this? Not exactly surprising, just one more proof of what we already knew.

Now let's move on to 2023.

On March 14th 2023 Jungkook went live from his home when Jimin was in the US for his FACE promotions. This live has 4 parts. Should've known who this live was meant for when Jungkook started the live at 8:11 pm KST. The songs for this live are heavily Jikook coded.

1) Jungkook played There For You, a song which he used for his first ever GCF, which was basically all about Jimin.

2) He also sang the Korean version of Mistletoe (Christmas Day) for which Jimin wrote the lyrics and which Jikook covered back in 2014.

3) Then there's Nothing by Bruno Major. In 2020 Taehyung posted a selca of him and Jimin under which he mentioned this song saying that it was Jimin's recommendation. Then in 2022 when Jimin was asked to pick a song for the ending credits of a documentary about him he again chose Nothing saying that the mood of the song goes well with him.

4) How can we forget Hate Everything? Jungkook posted a cover of this song on 3rd Feb 2022. The cover was 1:18 mins long (there's that number again). This was the time when Jimin was receiving in patient treatment following his surgery. And Jungkook had to stay away from him due to covid protocols. And then in 2023 he again plays this song when Jimin's away from him, this time due to his schedule.

5) The next song is Falling. This is a song both Jimin and Jungkook like. Jungkook posted a cover of this song on 28th Oct 2022. And guess what's special about 28th Oct? Well, Jikook went on their Tokyo trip on 28th Oct 2017. (Numbers are not a joke when it comes to Jikook. They give importance to special dates, milestones in their relationship).

Jimin comments during the second part of this White Day live. His presence was so significant throughout the live. Though he was not physically present his presence was still felt, thanks to Jungkook.

Jungkook also flexed his JM tattoo which was noticeably darker than the rest while JVKE's Golden Hour was playing in the background. He followed it up with the lyrics "Love of my life". HE'S A CERTIFIED ROMANTIC!!! (only for Jimin).

During this live he changes his outfit 2 times. Starts with a black jacket, then changes to a white shirt and then finally a purple hoodie. Ends the live by asking us to look forward to midnight saying that something amazing is dropping at midnight. And we all know how it went... SMF pt2 teaser came out. Not to forget that he also teased Jimin's song using his hair tie.

For SMF pt2 Jimin uses 3 outfits. A black jacket and a white sweater for the main mv and a purple jacket for the dance practice video.

Can it be a coincidence? Sure. But what are the chances of their outfit colors being in that exact same order, right when SMF pt2 was dropping? Most of the time Jikook and "coincidence" doesn't go hand in hand and this was one of those times.

So, these are the two times Jikook was loud on White Day.

But here's an honorable mention. It was on 14th March 2016:

Jungkook took this video of a sleepy Jimin and posted it with the caption "Jimin hyung is sleepy, someone please put him to sleep".

So, yes! White Day is a special day for Jikook. But it's not just White Day, we have also seen how much importance they place on spending their birthdays together and how much effort they put into it.

Jungkook left the entire fandom in shock by going all out for Jimin's birthday. Booking a trip to Tokyo, taking him to Disneyland and even creating a GCF to immortalize the moment, all for the world to see and scream over. Just when we thought that was the peak of effort Jimin proved once again that they match each other's energy. He took a 13 hour flight from Paris to Seoul just so he wouldn't miss his bf's birthday, arriving with exclusive limited edition gifts in hand. And as if that wasn't enough he even teamed up with Hoseok to arrange a surprise party. And just one look at Jungkook's face in that pic proves how much it meant to him.

And then in 2020 we learned that Jimin and Jungkook were together at home on Jungkook's birthday. The next day Jimin even prepared a cake to celebrate.

We have also seen them spending special couple days together.

Like wearing matching jackets on Valentine's Day. And watching the first snow together, which again is a couple tradition in SK. It signifies fresh beginnings leading to a lasting relationship

Or posting this on Chinese Valentine's Day with the caption "Love Ya ❤"

Or show up on 14th January 2018 which is Diary Day in SK again an important day for couples by wearing matching rings

I almost forgot about Chuseok. Its a family holiday in SK.

This was their first "couple" moment for Chuseok:

This is from the Chuseok of 2016.

For 2017's Chuseok, while everyone went home to celebrate the festival Jikook stayed back together at the dorm.

They posted this at 4am on the Chuseok of 2020:

And then Jimin posted the fish drawing for 2023's Chuseok with the caption " JK's work 😅" which we saw both of them talking about and drawing in AYS Jeju.

Then there's Silver Day. This pic was posted by Jungkook on Silver Day with the caption "Jimin hyung's big smile" (14th July 2019)

On Silver Day couples exchange silver accessories as a sign of their love and commitment.

Hoseok's JITB Party was on Silver Day. And there was Jimin casually wearing his Maison Margeila necklace along with the bracelet from Polyc, the very same one that unsurprisingly Jungkook also owns.

But what makes the Maison Margeila necklace special? Well he owns the one with numbers ranging from 10 to 16 and guess which number is circled? Number 11

So let's take out 11 and add all the other numbers:

10+12+13+14+15+16

We get 80

And then have 11

Together it becomes 11/8 tada 😮

So, yeah that makes it extra special for him

2023's Silver Day was a major moment in the Jikook world. Jimin boarded a flight from Seoul just to be with Jungkook who was swamped with preparations for his solo debut performance in the US. Despite the packed schedule they made time for each other, stepping out in matching black and white outfits for dinner on the same day Jimin arrived. They returned to the same restaurant again this time with no cameras, no staff just the two of them before Jimin had to fly back home.

This one isn't about a designated couple's day but its still incredibly significant. Recently K side went into a frenzy upon discovering that Jimin and Jungkook sent a joint flower wreath, something typically done by couples. They were the only individuals who sent one together.

You might have noticed how Jimin and Jungkook follow a pattern, they don't just do these things once they repeat them over the years. But we only find out when they choose to let us know or when it slips through company content. Its clear they value these traditions and make a conscious effort to spend them together. What we see is probably a fraction maybe a quarter of it. But just because we don't see everything it doesn't mean it isn't happening.

Thanks so much for this ask, Anon! I loved answering this! Have an awesome day 👋🏻

AYS is done. The last episode was bittersweet. Platonic or not. Romantic or not. Their relationship is one for the books. It was shown during their interactions even through tiny bits and pieces of the whole three days. And I am extremely grateful for Jimin and Jungkook for letting us take a small peek into their daily lives. What we saw for a total of at least three hours in Sapporo, is nothing compared to the whole 72 hours they were attached together. I am glad they decided to include their fans in their quest for making memories before their enlistment.

I hope they know how much we value their AYS series and that we are looking for more in the future. Because their happiness is ours as well.

For now, their safe return is prayed for.

There is no pretending needed. The conversation just isn't what all of you make it seem. They have been busy and that's why they were not seeing each other as much.

Hi anon!

One of the first things Jm says to Jk, is that it was a while since they saw each other. Words like 'I heard you went to the hospital' were uttered, which means Jm did not hear from Jk himself that he went to the hospital. He asks him why he went to the hospital because he doesn't know why. Jm did not even watch the performance, because he asks a staffmember if Jk did well.

It becomes clear that doing the travel show was not a priority to Jk (at least at first), since Jm says Jk didn't think much about it, but agreed anyways, and Jm knew the travel show would not happen if he didn't make sure it would. All indicating Jk was fine with doing the show, but did not take actions to make it happen.

I feel... like the conversation about Jm wondering if he was doing the right thing.. was that he sensed that Jk was very busy.. and perhaps the timing was really bad.

We get to the car drive...

Jk does not need/want Jm to cuddle him at night.

And then the convo that all of you seem to not understand or bury under the grass.

Jm - We haven't gone somewhere together in a while.

Jk- I know. We were supposed to go out for a drink. This heavily implies that even when they were supposed to meet, it was only for a drink. No visit's at their places, no working out, no hangouts, even plans for having a drink didn't go through.

Jm - Well that happens. Not bothered at all.

Jk - When you were busy, I was free but never called you. And when I was busy, you were free but never called me. This is Jk's recollection of the time when Jm was busy and the time following that when he was busy. Which, if you add it up, spans months.

Jm- That's not true. I called. Well, the time(s) he called did not make it into Jk's recollection of the timeperiod they speak of.

Jm - Taehyung and I video-call quite often, at least a few times a month and we say, "Hey, let's meet up." "Hey, when are we meeting up?". But we never meet up. This imo, can almost be seen as Jm comparing his interactions with Tae to his interactions with Jk. To Jm, Tae and him Facetiming a few times a month is 'quite often'. That gives us a reverall as to what 'quite often' means to Jm. It is clear that he does not view his interactions with Jk as 'quite often". He jokes about them wanting to meet up but never going through with it. And then Jk says...

"We wouldn't have either if it weren't for this. Which is a direct comparison to Tae and Jm not meeting.

Jm - That's why I came to you. Super nice, I'm sure it meant a lot to the,

Jk - Finally. Again, the 'finally' implies a long time of not seeing each other.

I'm not sure how all of you spin this. I have seen that one blogger mentioned in that post you referred to completely brush past this and not even taking their own anon seriously. I understand why, but you all look plain silly doing it.

Have the hard convo's anon! You'll be doing yourselves a favor eventually.

Just for fun… If you could be a fly on the wall for just one jikook moment, so that you’d get the full picture of what was going on, what would that moment be?

hickeygate. It's the first one that came to my mind ajajajajaj

[kookmins-ringfinger]

Hi. I was reading your posts and saw that you've been a jikook shipper for a while now. May I ask how your view of their relationship has changed from the beginning to today? Have there been any moments that really cemented your thoughts on the ship? Or things that have stood out to you since you have seen the changes throughout the years?

Thank you!

Hi Anon! If I talk about Jikook , then from what i have seen (from years now) Nothing has changed between them. Their friendship, their love , bond , chemistry is very much same as it was before. BTS are the same as they were. Yes , people do change. Everybody have goods and bads in their life. They go through that. Jikook did too. They may have tough times too. Everybody does. They are also humans . Their dynamic has been changing throughout the years , Yes. But their feelings and emotions are still the same. Jungkook's protectiveness is still the same . Jimin's care for jungkook is still the same. Jikook's relationship is still the same . Them treating each other like husbands/boyfriends is still the same. Jungkook's proud smile looking at jimin is still the same.They way his eyes light up after seeing jimin smile is still the same . Jungkook's way of supporting jimin is still the same . Jungkook can talk about his jimin all day and night and I CAN TALK ABOUT THEM aaaaalllll day and night lol . We should support and love them as much as they do💕🤞

IF YOU ALL WANT ME TO SHARE MY JIKOOK STORY, HOW I BECAME JIKOOK SUPPORTER , I WOULD LOVE TO. YALL MUST TELL ME IF I SHOULD DO THAT?

[kmgoogiemin]

we need to have a serious discussion about the influx of hatred for jimin and jungkooks bond over the past few months

these all come from different videos either reacting to jikook or just videos which have jikook in it, every single video gets bombarded with comments like this

they are OBSESSED with the idea of jimin and jungkook not being together, not even being close friends, and they spread these lies on every single video possible, anything to do with jikook they are spamming these things. it’s always been bad but it’s getting worse

jikook scares everyone because it’s so clearly different to anything else, so the second they think they are “winning” (without bothering to look at any context of things happening on a wider scale) they attack jikook and jikookers

jmjk estaban mirando una lista de reproducción del top 50 de Corea y Seven de Jungkook estaba en el puesto número 1 y Jimin tenía varias canciones en el top 10 y ambos se emocionaron mucho.

Seven #1 Like crazy #3 Like crazy english version #4 Angel pt. 1 #5 Set me free pt.2 #6

[xcziel]

a lot of people talking about jk's lack of credits on his album and it made me think

like if it's true he was being - not necessarily pressured but let's say encouraged - to make an album suitable for winning over western audiences, then it's likely he knew the songs would need a high amount of english lyrics. and it does seem as though making waves in the western market is a goal he has had in mind, not just one imposed on him by bh

but as someone who has tried learning language later in life - it's NOT easy for some. and especially if you're used to a high level of proficiency with your language use, it is really hard to have to face an inability to say exactly what you mean, the way you want to say it, in another tongue.

plus, some of us with adhd (and i know speculative diagnoses are sus but just *look* at jk ok? come on) have a hard time prioritizing tasks that don't see immediate reward or that are discouraging because we can't do them as well or as easily as we'd prefer right away

so what i speculate is that possibly one reason for jk dragging his feet on preparing his album was that his english wasn't up to his standards (because being a member of bts means that you set and are also expected to achieve very high standards indeed) for lyric writing

and obviously he could ask for help - but normally the people (person) he'd ask would be his member(s) and it's supposed to be a 'solo' project so i feel like his pride could have kicked in - he recorded other projects just fine, with enough time he surely could swing the english on his own, right? - and then it would be entirely his songs: he'd be expressing himself directly, on topics that were personal to him, and not relying on someone else to paraphrase his thoughts into english. think about how many people he'd have to run the lyrics by to make sure they really conveyed what he meant to say, not what the translator *thought* he wanted to say. and then making sure it scanned/rhymed/was in meter - it's HARD to do in another language (rm does not get enough credit)

so here he is, faced with a time limit "suddenly" (the way every deadline "suddenly" happens for those of us with the time-blindness that lets us say "i'll get to it" until eternity lol) to produce an album if he's going to - everybody else has done their chapter 2 bit, tae has been showing him his music, talking about promo, etc. - but his writing english isn't where he hoped it would be. he has music but it's hard to latch a hook on a song with no lyrics and on top of that he's mainly a singer: words and vocals are his entry point for relating to a song

for all we know he tried switching a composition of his own to english lyrics and it didn't work out to his satisfaction, who knows?

and if he did write the music, would he be comfortable just handing it over to someone else to throw words on top of? i mean, maybe if it was someone he trusted ... maybe.

but then scoot biscuit and bang pd are like here are some ready-made songs, we're sure they'll be hits - you can tweak them but you don't have to really do anything else other than perform them and you can get practice on all the other things you're worried about - planning your own choreo and styling, doing shows solo, western interviews in english, western audiences - without feeling the emotional vulnerability of having your own art and inner thoughts just out there to be judged.

and he looked at his options, and at how all the other members were accomplishing things etc and said ok. ok that's something i can try. and i can't really blame him, even if the results are not to my taste.

also i personally think, just going from subtle things in his conduct, that maybe there was an expectation that this was a way to ensure he *not* sing about things maybe that could put him under more scrutiny industry-wise. like if the songs he would write might be uhhh imprecise with the pronouns (or even scarier very precise in the 'wrong' way) leaving the meanings up to audience interpretation, sending a message that might be taken in a non-company/industry-approved way that kind of thing. that wouldn't happen with a selection of predetermined songs and collaborators that management had more control over and thus wouldn't need to worry about jk accidently (or not) scuttling the big western takeover plans.

and i don't think this is any kind of full explanation, obviously, but more just an idea of one tiny piece of something that might have affected the decisions made, something happening in the background

think about oh for example jm's letter - if jk wanted to write something like that, have something similar as part of his introduction as 'big western pop star' how nerve-wracking would it be, how careful would he have to be? to trust that what he wanted to say was actually being said? to sit on sets with clueless western show hosts and somehow discuss it in the english he does command? to listen to bh tweak and massage public perception so that no one in the western press 'gets the wrong idea'?

soo yeah, that he said ok i'm gonna do the sexy popstar thing, don't shoot the messenger lol none of this is coming from my heart except my love of performing for the fans and as bonus i'm screwing around with my innocent baby bunny image, i think that's fair

[goldenasyoung]

Watched Are You Sure episode 3 with my daughter. And she said, “they are really together mom.” The Jikook are really together, she said. And I asked, “how did you know?” “I just feel it”, she replied. “It is the small little things, if you get what I mean”, she further explained.

Hell yeah, those small little things. 😊

I get it. Totally.

I hope my daughter finds the Jimin to her Jungkook in the future.

[jkjm9597]

It’s been long since I posted here ☺️but I wanted to address this topic!!

Sometimes I can’t really understand some people and the fact most think the same way.

First of all we assumed they are couple yes I believe they are ( in my case not just cute moments made me believe so)

They are an obvious bond everyone out of this fandom can see it right?

But do you guys know something? We don’t know 90% of their lives and they show us only what they want us to know.

So how can you assume they broke up or took a break?? I’ve seen people setting different time of when that supposed “break up” happened

“I saw this period they distanced themselves” “ they were questioning their relationship” “k-jkkrs said this happened”

Do you know k-jkkrs are like us? And it’s not always they meet them somewhere you know?

They don’t know anything about them like you don’t know everything that happened to why your neighbor who broke up with his boyfriend or they’ll tell you if they want you to know

The only think k-jkkrs have that we don’t is them knowing the language, they understand the deep meaning of it, in cultural way

I’ve been in a k-jkkrs space where they were debating about this specific topic,

Some of them said jkk broke up and reunite and others said no they didn’t and you want to put your beliefs based on them? Bc what they’re koreans? That doesn’t means they’d know everything

if jikook didn’t want to be seen they wouldn’t show up

And the distanced from each other is just based on them in front of camera? Because you’re used to see them glued that you think they broke up or took a break? I really can’t understand you guys.

We don’t know what happened that time you assumed them “broke up” or “have a break”

And don’t come after saying “ it happens between two normal people to have problems”

Yes it happens bc I’ve been in relationships and know how it works, everything isn’t pink but knowing they are celebrities they know what they’re doing what happened that time, only them know.

If the show really reinforced Taekook to tkkrs then why were so many tkkrs mad after the show ended? Why were so many tkkrs bent on calling the show “scripted” if at all it really reinforced that Taekook is real? I saw tkkrs complaining about the company trying to show that Taekook are awkward and also claiming that they painted Tae in a bad light but all these don’t look like what people who were happy with the show would do does it? I just think that if tkkrs really watched that show and felt like their beliefs in tkk were reinforced then they wouldn’t have been so mad at the show up to the point to intentionally twisting things they said to make it look like Jk didn’t want to do the show like how they twisted Jk’s words and claimed that he said he was angry because of the show, or how some tkkrs are desperately trying to paint Jimin as liar because he misremembered something that happened 7 years ago and corrected himself, or how tkkrs are jumping at every opportunity to say that Jk made it clear that it was a show (as if we didn’t already know that) just to end jkkrs even though Jk was actually the one who kept talking about how much he loved the show, how the trips were the best trips he had ever been on in his entire life or how he actually initiated more physical contact with Jimin than Jimin did (this is something people don’t seem to notice because of the few times he playfully pushed Jimin away) but he was the one who woke up and went to cuddle Jimin, was the one who started touching Jimin in the very first scene at the restaurant, the one who was touching on Jimin’s legs, he was the one who also leaned on Jimin’s shoulder while they rode the train, he was the one who also kept touching Jimin’s nape in Sapporo when softly. All the touches Jimin initiated were playful and “banterous” but Jk was the one initiating all the “soft” touches but people don’t notice this because they only pay attention to the fact that he pushed Jimin away when Jimin tried touching him playfully. If we were to count, Jk initiated touches with Jimin way more than Jimin did. If we were to count, Jk talked about loving the show more than Jimin did. If we were to count, Jk said things that shippers could be happy about more than Jimin did, “you are prettier than clouds”, “this is romance” “I wanted to come back here because we came here on our first trip” “ I really love this trip”, “these are the best trips I’ve been on in my life” yet people claim Jk hated the show.

Some tkkrs were so mad at this show they clearly did everything in their power to make it seem like Jk was miserable by intentionally twisting events or words. Jk says “it was an entertainment show and I entertained” how is that him making sure everyone knew it was a show? Didn’t we all already know it was? Didn’t Jimin also call it a show? Besides if he was so bent on slapping jkkrs back to reality why did he end everything by saying those were the best trips of his life knowing damn well how shippers would interpret that? One minute tkkrs are claiming that Jk is repulsed by Jimin’s touch because he playfully shoves him but the next moment Jk himself is waking up to go cuddle Jimin who is suffering from explosive diarrhea, or is leaning his head on Jimin’s shoulders during a train ride. How does this make any sense? One moment tkkrs are claiming Jk didn’t want to do the show but every 2-3 business seconds he is talking about wanting to do it till he is 50 or wanting to go back to the first day of the trip or talking about how he would be thinking back to those moments while he is enlisted. Would tkkrs feel the need to clearly twist moments like this if they actually felt like the show reinforced Taekook? Would you feel the need to call the show scripted if it made you happy? Also notice how no one of you claimed Jk lied or was just saying things when he said Tae being there made things better but the moment he said those were the best trips of his life, everyone of you said that he just said that. Why? Would you feel the need to do this if the show really reinforced your beliefs?

This isn’t me attacking you or your beliefs btw. I just think your words now don’t quite make sense especially considering how some tkkrs acted and are still acting about the show which according to anon, reinforced their beliefs. If something reinforced my belief I wouldn’t be mad at it. Just saying.

Hi anon!

It’s very different things. Although there are obviously Tkkrs who do get insecure about seeing Jk and Jm interact, most around here do not (I’m not on twitter, so I can’t speak on what goes on around there).

Jkkrs got mad because the people playing a role in their narratives behaved in ways that didn’t fit. They have a problem with Jk, Tae, and Jk breaking their imagined version of truth. Jk and Jm did not look in love and even spoke, repeatedly, in ways that directly went against their beliefs. You cannot have watched Ays and still believe in Jkk without heavily bending reality. The things they had to come up with were purely based on Jkkrs feelings, not on the feelings of vminkook. They got actually mad at Jk (like for real mad and kinda ditching him) for how he acted with Jm. Not because Jk did something wrong, but because he bursted through their bubbles repeatedly. They have to go against Vminkook consistently saying they love each other and say Jm and Jk didn’t want Tae there and despised him for it. That is so out of there and is in no way supported by evidence. In fact, evidence goes heavily against it.

Tkkrs however, were angry about the way the show was edited and promoted. We did not feel Tae and Jk were awkward, we feel the editing was done in a way that enables people to continue to say that. Making use of captions that, seemingly joking’ make Tae to be an outsider. After all Vminkook have gone through fandomwise, and after all the hate Tae already gets because of that.. how is that fair? It is not, and it wasn’t necessary for the show at all. Bh are assholes, for them a fandomwar is profitable.

Another thing that became increasingly annoying, is Jkk narratives.. which they spread loudly and unfiltered. Sexualizing Jm and Jk every chance they get. Romanticizing moments that were not that to the extreme. Making use of Jk’s supposed neurodivergence to explain certain moments he did not fit the mold. So when we go hard about the show being a creation, it’s to go against their idiocy. You can literally not go against the show being a production, because there is no way around that. It shows in everything. Some are more pointed about the whole thing being scripted than others, I think I am pretty mellow. I think there were a lot of real interactions, but I also believe some things are planned, things are exaggerated, and there’s fanservice going on. There are moments that show that Jk was preoccupied and especially during NY both Jm and Jk were unwell to an extent that they shouldn’t have been creating content. You cannot tell me that Jm having to do that hike while being sick is what he preferred to do. They push through, because it’s their job. That’s all stuff that we can argue by use of proof.

You have to ask yourself why Jkkrs have such a problem with admitting these things. Because AYS being created content should not be a threat to their beliefs. It’s never a threat to my beliefs about Tae and Jk, and I will absolutely admit that they do fanservice as well. The thing is though, without the moments between Jk and Jm that are clearly fanservice, Jkkrs have little to nothing to base a romantic relationship on.. and will be stuck with with what everyone else sees, which is a close friendship, but nothing more.

So no, not the same.. and it’s not our insecurities speaking, but rather our feelings about how production was handled.

PHALEASEEEEE AJAAJJAJAJAJAJAJAJA

😂 Yes. The iconic MMA 2018. (Don't mind me admiring this moment) Also, JK's side profile...that's drop-dead perfect.

2018,2019,2020,2021,2022,2023. It's been a few years. But this specific day still is in our memories.

is it bad if i am a little excited for the jkjm travel show? i don't know why but i feel kinda guilty.

Not at all! I'm really excited. They are friends, it's going to be so good seeing them.

Maybe you feel guilty because there's this ridiculous ship war that means Jimin can't be anywhere near JK?

I'm not threatened by them interacting at all. 💜
