#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…..

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

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'.

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.

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 🥺

[jeonscatalyst]

you know what gets me about GCF Tokyo? It is the fact that JM was completely comfortable with JK filming him like that. I mean he didnt know JK is going to edit it LIKE that and then make it public for the whole world to see. He was absolutely fine being filmed while shopping, eating, having fun and knowing it was not for BTS content. It should make anyone wonder shouldnt it? It wasnt just a picture that you take of your friend while on holiday, you dont even film your bff like that... its much more intimate and screams of closeness. And to think they were so young back then.

How fucking awesome it must be to find your person so early in life? Not jealous at all 😅

When the book got released, we got to find out that Jimin was going through alot during that time but watching GCFT, one would never guess that he had even a single worry. He looked so happy, so free, so comfortable and so loved. That is one of the happiest I have ever seen Jimin and you could tell that he was with someone he loves and who loved him just by looking at how hard he laughed and how wide he smiled.

It’s also the way he rarely looked at the camera but at Jungkook who was behind the camera. He didn’t know Jungkook intended to post that for the public to see so all those smiles, the happiness, the playfulness and silliness were all for him and Jungkook until Jungkook decided to let us in on a little bit of the fun they had in Tokyo.

People can say whatever they want to say about Jungkook’s GCFs but to me, those were the greatest love confession.

When someone is loved right, they glow from the inside out, and anyone can tell Jimin was loved right just by watching him in Jungkook’s GCF.

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.

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)."
