I remember I think that you said you enjoyed Bon Voyage season 4 the most in terms of enjoying the Taekook content. Why did you enjoy this season the most?

I like season four, but not for the Taekook content. I said that despite what people say, there is Taekook in BV4. You just have to be observant and look for it, and there's more than you think.

BV1 probably has the most unfilitered Taekook Content, BV4 has the most filtered (i.e. it's there but you have to look for it). So in order of filtered/unfiltered it goes like this for me...

BV1 - It felt like every part of the trip was stage managed within an inch of it's life, but we got quite a bit of TK content.

BV2 - Whilst staged/structure very heavily there were moments outside of this, particularly the boys playing music, shooting MVs, dancing and generally just having fun in the outdoor mall. Some TK content, mostly in the beginning and Helicopter ride.

BV3 - Aside from Ep. 4 (where we got TK in a room/double bed and being all homely), we got more content from Malta from photo drops and Redbull, where we see JK and Tae out and about without the rest of the group.

BV4 - edited to limit TK but if you really look you can still see it.

If I were to order my preference, I'd say my favourite to least is...

BV4

BV2

BV3

BV1

I really liked BV4 despite the TK editing by BH because it felt less stage managed and controlled by the managers than in previous seasons. BV1 & 2 felt like more expensive RUN BTS episodes. BV3 moved away from this, though it still had its moments and BV4 took this even further and was probably the pre-curser to 'In The Soop'.

And of course In the Soop (both seasons) feature Taekook a lot.

I just finished watching BV1 again and got mad all over again. Does anyone find the members were treated like circus monkeys? Jimin having to dance for his suitcase. RM having to rap for his bag. Abandoning Tae at the airport then having him travel and fend for himself when everyone else had a partner. The prank on the train was also just mean. I'm glad Tae was smart enough to catch on to it.

Maybe because I'm a girl and dont really get guy humour but It didn't really seem like a reward for their hard work or a glimpse of the freedom of youth they wanted to experience. Do you think Tae's misadventure was a bit of a rebellion? Just my thoughts and wondering if I am alone in my thinking?

Hi!

Some time ago on twitter there was a discussion about bts having to do stuff like run bts, so missions, games, silly ones most of the time, when they’re artists and they shouldn’t “waste time”. I think it’s similar to what you’re saying right now, which -in my opinion- can mostly be applied to the first seasons of bv because, being a variety show, and bts not being as popular as right now, they “had” to entertain and so they were asked to dance, to rap, to sing, whatever… BV4 had nothing of that, I don’t remember they had to rap or sing to get some stuff, it was almost like another ITS season.

Regarding Taehyung, he joined the group one day later alone because he was busy shooting Hwarang, they told him to get on a bus, took the wrong one and got lost. I do agree that the cameraman, the crew, anyone could’ve told him about it but I guess they saw it as entertainment. I didn’t particularly like the train prank either lol, Jungkook was so antsy about it too 😭 Taehyung at some point sat in silence and started studying their faces and that’s how he understood it was a prank… such a smart guy 😭

I think bv1 was like that because they had to entertain, kind of like a test trial? The other seasons are more on the chilling side. But, let’s use your questions as an open discussion, guys give us your opinions about it :)

How do these people lie so much and honestly believe their ship is real Stormy? How many things are even correct here? As far as i can tell the only correct thing is that Jk said Tae listened to Seven first. Everything else is either a straight up lie, mistranslation or something taken out of context. These are the things that taekookers believe to be true and somehow jikookers are the jokers?

Let's just do some super quick fact checks and correcting misinformation with links to proof to backup all my sources here:

"Jungkook said I want to join the special forces"

True! (comes from the last live before military service)

"Jungkook said Taehyung is my safe space"

False! Jungkook said that Tae was his common ground (comes from festa 2020 profiles is where they mistranslated that one from)

"Jungkook said my relationship with Taehyung is not for the cameras"

False! Made up by shippers in 2014, Proof here

"Jungkook said that the first person to hear the song Seven was Taehyung"

True! From Seven Spotify Interview

"Jungkook is the first person to hear Taehyungs album and record it in his house"

True! JK was the first to hear some of Tae's songs. And Tae did record A singular song at JKs house/studio. The whole album though wasn't mentioned specifically (but that might still be true) and only one song was recorded at JKs place I believe. Comes from JKs live and Tae's You Quiz interview

"Jungkook has a song he always sings to Taehyung"

False! I think they just made that up. I did a little searching anyway, lol but yeah no....

"The members said Taekook will never separate"

False! The members made a fortune teller joke where one said "so you guys can never be apart then?" As a silly joke about the color shirts they were wearing. Proof here

"the members said that if you want JK, call Taehyung (and vice versa) because they are always together."

False! The only thing said about JK was that he didn't like answering his phone and basically never did. Everything else was made up. From MBTI labs

"They went together to show the movie and were wearing identical clothes with strong lesbian expressions about their relationship."

(lmfao what) Sort of true.... (?) They did go to the movie premiere together! And Tae wore an Morrissey/Oscar Wilde shirt (openly gay and put on trial for being gay) and JK wore a jacket with scripture about two men being jailed for their practices and one of which many people believe to be gay/queer coded and a shirt with references to Taylor Meed's poetry (openly gay and wrote for a gay newspaper). Idk what the rest of that was about though lol

"Taekook in a luxury hotel dancing RUN BTS together and spending the night!"

True, they were in a luxury hotel and danced RUN BTS!

And also False, they spent the night. No one knows, we just saw them do a TikTok dance. They made the rest up lol maybe they did, maybe they didn't. Can't make facts outta assumptions though!

Taekooks picture from their date that jokers said was OT7 but boom turned out to only be a date

False! Boom.... Was an OT7 dinner.... Lol Proof Here

And Bam that Tae raised and the photos he posted

True since Tae DID post a cute photo of him with baby Bam and made a joke about raising him. As did every BTS member with Yeotan.... Lmfao False due to weird exaggeration though

Taekook and their seven dance together

True! Tae danced Seven with JK on his encore stage!

Jimin said: Tae and JK love forever

True! He wrote their names in a heart in the sand in BV1 and that's the quote he said (sorta)

Jimin said Tae and JK share their music and everything and do not share it with the members.

False! I cannot prove a negative but the lack of proof of this quote anywhere ever should be enough. Lol they made this one up. Should've stuck with the tangible evidence that they shared their music with each other in these latest albums first instead of trying to take it one step too far and starting to lie lol

"they are the two closest members and they have special trips and a lot of real dates and like to spend all their time together and they like to stay up all night and watch the sunrise together and they share everything."

False! Lmao the more you read the more it becomes like fanfiction rather than evidence based facts

"Jungkook said he didn't know Jimin's number and hasn't seen him in weeks and months."

False! JK said he couldn't remember a GC nickname, he also mentioned during a different live that he didn't have Jins number saved. And JK clearly had been seeing Jimin at various points as they were signing up for buddy service in the military which takes a lot of prep time.... Lol but he still never said that, but he did say "I miss you" a lot, but that's not "I haven't seen him in weeks and months" lol Proof about the numbers here

"Jungkook will always choose Taehyung to spend private time with, a true relationship"

False! Wasnt said anywhere by anyone, just an opinion from a shipper lol

"Your ship is 0 without the company and the cameras and this is the truth, and in the solo era Jungkook spends all his time with Taehyung"

False! They spent lots of time together, but this is just a shipper fighting other shippers.... No facts, no ship or friendship in BTS will ever be zero either

And just more of that shipper fighting nonsense to finish it off. Sucks since they started off relatively strong with Taekook appreciation only to just degrade into shipper bullshit.

Anyway, this was fun. I wouldn't mind more true/false games in the future 🤣🤣🤣

Those little touches that scream intimacy

Skinship is a thing.

BTS show physical affection with each other, they hold, hug, touch each other in ways that would perhaps raise an eyebrow for some, but within their cultural context are not a sign of ‘more’ than friendly affection and closeness.  Although, I do have to say that BTS do stretch the boundaries on that one too.  Some of the touchy feely is beyond what you would expect it to be among grown male friends in Korea as well.  But they did grow up together, in a sense, and although it’s a little more than usually accepted, it still is not an indication to anything more than a very close friendship.

But JM and JK, they have these moments.  Two types of suspicious moments.

These moments when they pull back on the touching, the almost touching or touching but just... barely. Those moments where you are sitting there and screaming at the screen (in your mind) “fucking touch him already”, which presents as highly suspicious considering how close those two are on the one hand and how tactile they are on the other.  

And then you have these moments where it’s more, it’s suspicious, it’s not something that you would expect between just friends.

So I thought I would put bring together, in one post, some of these moments.

Moments they do something, touch, almost touch, behave in a way that makes you go “this doesn’t look like something ‘just a friend’ would do”, or “heck, those two must be really intimate for this to be happening”.

j 14 interview

I guess I started with a big one. What is it they say? Go big or go home? Whatever JM was doing there with his wiggly wiggle finger during that interview was not something just between friends. It just wasn't.

BV1 footsies

No matter how close you are with your friend, him playing footsies with your crotch is not something you would allow him to do, well unless if you are not "just friends".

BV2 footsies

Here it's JK's reaction. If it was ok for a "friend" to play footsies, if said footsy playing did absolutely nothing for him, we wouldn't be seeing that reaction from him. That gulp. Man. He was hit hard, probably in the full sense of the word, lol.

Footsies BV4

Less about JK's toesies just lightly touching JM's leg and more about the physical reaction the two of them had that followed. Suffice to say that the room was getting real hot for the two (which is also why JK running to put on a big covering coat was pretty funny).

BV3 cuddles

Do we need to explain here?

It's not only the fact that JM is touching JK in these more intimate areas, it's the lack of reaction (well almost lack of reaction...there are those reactions that you just can't help) from JK.

Rose Bowl of course.

No matter how much people will try to twist this up, it takes a special level of intimacy to take someone's sweaty dirty ear into your mouth and suck on it, for 4 seconds straight. And then end it all with a light kiss on the ear.

hickey

I guess this one is a given too. I've heard the stories about brotherly neck sucking and nope, I do not buy that. Not one bit. No matter how the story is told, JM put his mouth on JK's neck, exactly where JK's mole happens to be, and sucked on it hard enough to bruise it. Yep. Not something you do with a "just friend".

Btw, love the editors captions. *in pain*, lol.

This one

And this one too.

And this one too.

Oh, and this too.

It's about being used to be in that kind of proximity. Muscle memory. The lack of an initial reaction, and only pulling away at the very end. And it's not for a skit or game. It's all them. That smirk on JK's face in the 2019 TMA's and the BV2 moments, priceless.

Same day as this, btw, just if you weren't aware of it or just forgot.

It's definitley not this

Or this

Just saying.

Festa 2020 karaoke

It's not about the touch, more abut JK's reaction to it.

And how can I leave this last one out?

JK just moving that pesky crop top aside to caress JM’s waist/hip skin on skin, a little smirk on his face when he moves in, JM mostly non reacting although if you do look closely you can see a tiny little smile there towards the end when JK starts playing with his fingers on his bare skin.  This screams of two people who are physically intimate.

Feel free to add more examples. Maybe I'll make a part 2 for this one too.

Happy pride month.

A lot of tkkrs consider this event as something monumental for taekook, but I’m honestly not sure what it is. 🤷🏼‍♀️ What do you think?

Aside from the breaking formation to stand so close and the general touchy-feely something happened here vibes of the whole thing, here's a little video of my favourite bit:

A classic k-drama look from Tae, just like that time he looked at JK and gulped at the awards show.

There might be more missing context for what occurred around these days. I just had a quick look at what was going on in Taekook land around this time:

BV1 kissing!

Familiar nape snuffling stuff.

Such giddy boys in this era.

Anyway Smart Uniform Event is all vibes, I think. But the vibes are immaculate.

@mrs-monaghan hey there! Forgive me I have to answer you this way because Tumblr was not letting me reply to you in the comments.

Before answering your questions I would like to tell you that these are just my interpretations. Your views can be different and no one is invalidating them , now if you ask me about the Tokyo of course that happens 100% , do I see it as Jk's love for Jimin of course but do I label that love . Then my answer is No . Because as I said how I view their relationship and what is reality can be different and I just appreciate their bond without any labels .

The other things that you mentioned :- U wanna explain the sexual? What I explain and what you think might be totally different I am a 26 year old woman and trust me I have my fair share of attractions , but we can never predict what the other person's relationship is just by looking through a screen . Please tell me why Jimin had his foot on JK's crotch in BV1. Now about this thing I don't think it means anything, let me tell you why have you seen that one video where Jimin's or Jk's hand goes to Jin's crotch . Things of this nature are not equivalent to proofs , it can be views of people which again I am saying can be different from others. I also wanna understand why JK would look at Jimin's ass then adjust his dick multiple times if Jimin didn't turn him on? HAVE YOU SEEN HOW MANY TIMES BTS WATCH JIMIN WITH BEDROOM EYES. The point you have here is sheer projection and your interpretation, there can be truth but also there can't.

Have you watched the video where Jimin and Hobi were in a tub and how Hobi was watching Jimin , saying his name , caressing him .

See?? These are all our own interpretations , but reality can be different and that doesn't mean Jikook doesn't have a bond. Of course they have a bond , I would just not put a label to it . You can say they are closer , so people calling them platonic are also correct .

As I said in my original post we can enjoy their bond however we want but we shouldn't condemn others' opinions too .

Bangtan is a dear for all , and everyone should enjoy them however they want in a healthy way .

[mysmorgasbordoffantabulosa]

Heya,

I just saw this link i always wondered what did Jungkook say after Namjoon calls Tae to kiss Jungkook. Earlier he said I don't take kisses from man but after that?

Other thing is why would NJ call Tae on live to kiss Jungkook when they are supposed to hide their relationship?

I think you're talking about Bon Voyage 1, when it's JK's birthday and they ask if he'd like a kiss from one of the members, but then suddenly they suggested Tae. Only thing is though Tae wasn't there, he was back in Korea doing work for Hwarang.

It's pretty clear that by 2016, Taekook where possibly in a relationship by BV1 and the members knew about it and were basically exposing TK/teasing JK who had just become of age.

No-one knows what JK said afterwards.

Afterwards thought, when Tae arrived he could keep his hands off him or leave his side for a while and then there's of course the whole kissing and cuddling scene in the camper van at the end of the series.

I think that just says it all really.

Those JM and JK being ‘subtle’ moments - Part 8

Part 8 of maybe (?) more to come that is.

Or...

A page from JM and JK’s book of “How do we do the couple in the group without others noticing it (or so they thought)”.  

cr./to the owners of the media in this post.

BV1 JM driving JK crazy

Not boyfriend vibes at all here.  Not all knowing Hobi having a good laugh at it either.  And not JK calling JM Jiminie, dropping the hyung when referring to him...

It’s not only what he says, but how he says it, and the reaction he gets, including from JM.

JK dropping honorifics

Naturally next thing to talk about is JK’s dropping his honorifics.  Left right and centre.  With JM.  On air, and in front of Media.  The members reactions and JM’s flustered reaction at times says it all.

Jimin-ssi

And how can we do dropping of honorifics without the Jimin-ssi?

That flirtatious tone JK adds to it at times.

Those “I’m gonna give you a kiss but no one will think it’s a kiss cause we’re bros” moments.

Sapporo snow festival 2016

In concert

And if we’re already talking about kisses, there are those almost kisses, look like kisses, maybe kisses, “maybe we should kiss right now”, “just kiss already”, and other kiss adjacent moments.

All without a little ear and neck sucking, even though they could be considered kiss adjacent...

Flying kiss, in my book is a kiss, so...

Although I’m the one to open that hornet’s nest, lol, at the moment I’ll leave it at that (although there are at least 3 more air kisses I can think of off the top of my head).

And if we were talking about kiss adjacent...

Why oh why can’t JK handle JM up close?  Well, not face to face that is.

To be continued?  You guys tell me.  

I’m running out of ideas here people.  You haven’t sent me ideas.  At the moment I have enough maybe for one more in this series.  Also, I feel like I might be starting to repeat myself, it is what it is. 💜💜

So, I do need your help.  Send me moments and ideas you would like to see in this series of posts.  You can leave them in the comments or DM me.
