#gcf in Tokyo

[goldenhickeysandramen]

Doesn’t it just melt your heart a lil knowing Jungkook recorded Jimin’s favorite song from Golden while they were together in Tokyo, a place they wanted to go back to? 🥰

Haters: Jokers keep talking about GCF that happened a million years ago which Jk doesn’t even care about

JK:

💀

When you are in a competition for who is most obsessed with GCF Tokyo and then you see Jk coming…..

Going back.

If I asked you now, what was the moment that cemented jikook for you? How many of would answer with GCFC Tokyo?

I would.

As a person working in the world of films, movies, and videos, this medium of storytelling holds such a grip on me. Moving images, music, and sound (underestimated storytelling device!) arranged in such a way as to bring one to tears. Moving levers within the viewer through unconcious connotations. Moving someone to tears even on repeat viewings because it touches something inside that person. It speaks to an internal void inside themselves that's been given a voice. Glorious. GCFT does that for me. And sure, Scorsese, it's not CINEMA, but this video Jungkook made is most definitely special. The combination of the song, the editing highlighting the lyrics to hold sway over the images, the colors, the duality of our protagonist through many expressions. He's shown to be a human, goofy, sweet, kind, embarrassed, overjoyed, hungry, and tired.

That's your first clue as to what the director thinks of this boy.

He frames him in such a way as to make us fall in love right along with him. He holds power over us.

Jikook in Japan, back to Tokyo, and traveling on to Saporro, making sure to mention their first trip because it's special to them.

Because it still holds power over them.

The first also means there is a promise of more. It set the tone and became a tradition.

Traditions are special if you put import into such things, and these two really love going back to things that hold meaning and that are rooted in silly little meanings only they know. They love to tease a thing but to have the meaning make sense to no one but them.

Mentioing the first time felt like such a conscious way to adress the importance of this place during this time in their lives. So intentionally clear.

This is our little piece of peace. Our Safe Zone. To be together. To make memories we can cling on to before great unknown swallows us up. A place where we can be free from the many schedules we've overcome in order to journey back to this place where they will always be 'just jimin 💜 and just jungkook'.

gcf in tokyo

this might be my ultimate roman empire. as someone that's lived in tokyo for +1 year and visited disneyland a couple times (+ all the other times i've seen my friends/classmates post ig stories there lol) i feel qualified enough to say just how crazy that part of their 2017 tokyo trip was.

there are two main groups that go to disney tokyo: (big) friend groups and couples. Not saying that two friends can't go to disneyland duh but imo you have to be really close to that person to spend all that time by yourselves and not have the experience be mid.

but in my experience, japanese people tend to go to disney SEA- the park next to the original, with their friends bc it's far more fun. Couples go to the regular disney because it's cute and romantic and more chill. This is just extra irrelevant info, bc I went to regular disney with my foreigner friends the first time and we had fun either way; i was just reprimanded by my japanese friends afterwards for not picking Sea lolol

ANYWAY. couples and disney. yeah. there's also this cute tradition to pick matching hats, wear matching clothes, etc (friends also do this). but i find it so cute that only jimin was wearing that giant mickey hat. i wonder if jk bought it for him? or if he was too shy to wear mickey ears? lol.

either way, i've always gotten the feeling based on how gcft is filmed that jm seemed to be having the time of his life and jk was happy to see him enjoying himself. it takes me back to the purpose of the trip, what they shared on Beyond The Story.

But seriously, I wonder if people know just exactly how couple-y and romantic disney tokyo is. How much it's the go-to couples' anniversary plan. i was genuinely so shocked when i went bc i could only see couples walking by (+ giant friend groups like mine lmao).

i'm not trying to imply much- it's just one of those instances that makes me go ??? about jikook sometimes. whatever it was, whatever they are- it's one of the cutest jkk moments we've gotten <3

"One time for the present, two times for the past." #jikook

JiKook and Japan go way back; it's something special that belongs to just the two of them. As a JiKooker, I sometimes wonder what conversations they must have about Japan, because from the very start, it has defined them in a unique way. It’s pretty clear that Japan holds a special place for the two of them.

But some things are better left unsaid to others. I felt happy and content to be a part of their Sapporo trip. That they decided to share with us. The whole AYS experience was great, but once again, it's JiKook in Japan. So that deserves a special mention. Here are lots of pictures that I saved from wherever I could—my snowy babies.

Special mention: GCF in Tokyo (I’ll never forget you, sweetie).

I could write and write about JiKook, but my words will never be enough. So I'll just leave it here. Let's stare at these pics together 🥹💞

Any bad comments against any of them, I am gonna block you.

Happy 7th anniversary GCF Tokyo

And probably Happy 9th anniversary to Jikook too! 😊🐾🎉

For those baby army or baby kookminers, let's remember the importance of this date (thread):

Last time one of them used the reference 8.11 was Jungkook in his White Day Vlive. The one when "There for you" also was played ;)

SO....HAPPY ANNIVERSARY OF THE FILM THAT SUMS UP A JOURNEY THAT WAS SO IMPORTANT TO THEM

SO IMPORTANT ....THAT THEY WANTED TO COME BACK 🥺

I read this on TikTok and want to share it here:

"Love letters are usually written, but Jungkook decided to film it (GCF in Tokyo)."

jikook in japan

one of the reasons why i can't wait for the travel show is to see if they filmed any content in tokyo. jimin posted pictures in ginza (fancy boy) and eating coco curry lol (which is funny considering how cheap it is in comparison to the area they were in.) in 2017 i believe they were in harajuku, specifically omotesando for the shopping, then wandering around the cute streets of the neighborhood at night. and then obvi we know they spent halloween in shibuya! and then disneyland, which isn't tokyo but it's close enough.

tokyo is my absolute favorite place, so i'm looking forward to their vlog 🖤 i don't really pay attention to airport pics so idk if they flew to sapporo or took the train but it would've been hilarious to see them on a shinkansen 🚄 buying bento boxes and showing their food to the camera. but whatever they did in hokkaido, i bet it's gonna look super romantic. not only bc they make it impossible for something they do not to have couple vibes, but bc Literally everything there screams domestic. Skiing? Snow? Breweries? Hot springs? we'll be well fed, that's all i'm saying.

Ah, I suddenly wanted to write this, although I’ve always been thinking about writing about GCF in Tokyo. What better occasion than its anniversary? Let's go...

I take immense pride in being a JiKooker. They warm my heart, soothe my soul, and somehow restore my faith in love.

This ain't your Jimin, this ain't my Jimin—this is Jungkook's Jimin. "GCF in Tokyo" is everything you'd ever want to understand about how Jungkook sees or feels about Jimin. It's one of the most authentic versions of Jimin I've ever seen: goofy, beautiful, adorable, with a smile that could light up galaxies far away. But who was that smile for? Me? You? No—it was for Jungkook, and only Jungkook. The love they have for each other feels like it could spill out of the screen. It makes my heart feel so soft.

In previous radio interviews, you'll often hear Jimin mentioning how he wants to go on trips with Jungkook. Jungkook would stay quiet in those moments, just smiling, only to plan such a beautiful trip for Jimin in the following years. That baby was always listening to what Jimin wanted, and boy, did he surpass all expectations. He did it with utmost charm.

There's something so classy and attractive about Jungkook—he doesn't care about being judged by random strangers. Don't you think he knew how love and hate would come hand in hand if he made something like a confession in this video? He knew it, but he just doesn't care, and that makes him so magnetic and irresistible. I could gush about Jungkook all day, about GCF in Tokyo, and about Jimin too.

JiKook and Japan goes way back. its something which belongs to 2 of them.

You can see Jimin shrugging at the camera because he didn’t realize why JK was making a video. And that’s why it makes me feel so much in my heart—it shows that Jimin wasn’t aware of the GCF in Tokyo video, and that just adds to the sweetness of it all.

Anyways, it’s the anniversary of GCF in Tokyo (featuring Jimin 😂). This will never not make me laugh—it's more GCF of Jimin (featuring Tokyo). Where's the Tokyo, JK???"

As I mentioned in my earlier post, I could write and write about JiKook, but I still wouldn’t be able to fully express what they are and how they make me feel. So, I’ll just shut up now.

Have a great day, people 💜

Don't forget to watch GCF in Tokyo

Will always search for Tokyo in this video😂💜

jikook are like those annoying ppl who study abroad and can't stop making it their personality, but instead them going on and on about some academic side quest, its them violently fighting the urge to bring up their tokyo trip from seven years ago LMAOOO

Jikook Week 31 Complete (09/07 -16/07/2024)

Their thirty first week in the military is now complete and time to celebrate this milestone with a look back at this week in 2023.

09/07/23 was ARMY Day and BTS released this photo to celebrate.

They also released Beyond the Story their 10 year anniversary book. It gave us some precious insights into how Jimin and JK's 2017 Tokyo trip came about and how Jikook treasure the memories of that trip.

It seems appropriate that we are remembering their Tokyo trip this week, when the release of Are You Sure?, which follows their 2023 travels together, has been announced. Those travels began this week in 2023 when Jungkook and then Jimin travelled to the US on 12/07 and 13/07 and were spotted together at a restaurant in New York City the same night that Jimin arrived.

It only took them six years to be able to travel simply and freely again but the mental health benefits of that travel were obvious in their pre-enlistment lives and in the content they have left for us while they complete their military service.

The big news this week though was the release of Seven.

There was a whole host of teasers for the release throughout the week sending everyone into a frenzy of speculation about the song.

The MV teaser came out on 12/07 and the MV finally landed on 14/07 and had everyone scrambling as it became clear that JK was making serious moves to ditch the maknae cutie persona and become the new king of pop with enthusiastic and wholehearted support from Hybe and his Seven collaborators.

He appeared on Good Morning America on the same day contending with bad weather, a nasty cold and limited sleep the night before. He was determined to give his best for all the fans that turned up to see him and that is exactly what he did.

After the GMA, he also came live briefly to celebrate Seven's release and teased the fact that he was off to shoot what we now know as "Are You Sure?".

You have to admire him. The promo schedule that he had between the end of June and the end of November 2023 was insane. Non-stop and super intense, he kept himself going with periodic IVs and vitamin supplements. No wonder Jimin was concerned about him.

With the benefit of hindsight, however, we know he achieved what he set out to do and that the release of Seven one year ago this week was only the beginning of his Golden era.
