Jikook Week 8 Complete ✔️(30/01/24 - 06/02/2024)

Their eighth week in the military is now complete. It's time to celebrate this milestone with a look back at this week in 2020.

BTS was in Phase 2 of their Map of the Soul 7 comeback......

...starting with the first single release Black Swan on 17th January.

They flew to the US on the 18/01/2020....

..where they performed Old Town Road with Lil Nas X at the Grammys on 26/01/2020.

Cr. to Minkook Eclipse

During the week 30/01 to 06/02 they were still in the US and doing the rounds of the talk shows. These videos of them at iHeart Radio came out on the 01/02 and 06/02.

Everyone was in high spirits excited about the release of the album and the Map of the Soul tour which we now know was not to be. They returned to South Korea the next week on 10/02/20.

BONUS

On 30th January, BTS released the 2020 Winter Package in Helsinki with all these amazing Jikook photos. I've also included JK's GCF Helsinki which was released at the end of December 2019.

Gcf Tokyo is one thing but do you know the GCF that floored me? GCF in Saipan. I mean tbh, some people might be able to find ways to explain GCFT away but how do u explain the fact that Jungkook chose to footage of Jimin whenever the lyrics “i don’t lie no more, i don’t wanna fight no more, what i found in you is so real (2x) ima let you get the best of me” and it was just Jimin’s image that appeared everytime this lyrics came up.

I dunno but u can’t tell me Jk didn’t know what he was doing. Plus the way he videod Jimin. Jimin looked so beautiful and ethereal and the way Jk zoomed in on Jimin’s smile🥹😩. Someome commented and said “the person behind the camera must be in love with the little blond guy”. Stormy, even regular pple who don’t know bts watched that video and could feel the love. I don’t know what jikook have man, but i want what they have.

I have like essay length posts over GCT Tokyo, Saipan, Osaka and Helsinki here if y'all haven't seen those posts yet. Scroll to the bottom and they are there! Actually my longest posts are about Osaka and Helsinki. Lol I think because Tokyo and Saipan feel so dang obvious to me I didn't feel the need to explain my reasons for my opinions on those ones as much I guess 😂

GCF as a series is everything to me. I'd kill for JK to give us more!

[mrspark7777777]

Before watching Suchwita with JK, I was already betting on Jimin getting mentioned at some point, because we’re talking about Jungkook and Yoongi in one room. And he does, twice!! A jikook moment and a yoonmin moment. It’s cute! What did you think of Suchwita with JK?

Sorry anon Yoonkook tickle me. They really, really do. They are just so interesting to me. You know? I was waiting to watch this episode so much because I wanted to see how they are like together. Alone. Just them. Because I believe this is JK's weakest ship. They just do not click as well as they do with other members. So I was hella curious as to what this episode would look like.

But it was actually quite good and funny and Suga even got JK a karaoke machine probably just incase shit got awkward. Which it kinda did at some point. 😂 I mean

JK: what were you thinking?

Suga: promptly changes the subject 😂😂😂

That was so funny. 🤣🤣 But listen, while watching i knew I was looking for something but didn't know what that thing was until it happened

Show me another episode where Suga and a guest ran out of things to talk about. I'll wait.

Just for fun. Yoonkook hug with all that space btwn them.

Vs Yoonmin hug

He he hee... and I will always go back to GCF Helsinki where Suga was the only one in black & white 🤭🤭🤭 This duo makes me giggle anon... they really do.

Oh my Yoonkook. I do love them though.... of course I do believe any tension they may have (sometimes not all the time) would have something to do with Jimin but overall they are chill and they do love eo. But I'm not sure they're giving each other kidneys anytime soon 😂😂😂

Back to the Suchwita episode though.. it was good. Especially after JK took over the show 😂😂 thanks for the ask. I had fun with this one

[fruitgummies01]

I think i gotta thanks jungkook cause i have read some ppl say they thought that jm and jk are not even close nd kinda dislike e/o especially jk cause that's what many comments says but then they had watched his lives Especially the one he did watching jm's content that made them wonder that it doens't look like he dislikes jm, then the half naked live on his bed Where he's asking jm to come over or he'll go to jm's home if jm says yes.

You know jikook is the pair that's known for hanging out in public alot outside the group over the yrs but since chapt2 started they haven't been spotted anywhere outside like they used to. Even if they meet I'm sure it would be at eachother's home because they enjoy staying home as jm said multiple times, nd if it's outside then it'll mostly be them eating outside. but yeah they haven't been spotted anywhere in chapt2 and there's nothing much apart from those lives nd comments. but apart from that thing is jm-jk don't really share their pics n al when they meet e/o or other members as well. we have known jm has met hobi, yg sometimes RM as well but we have just heard of it never saw except one time they had posted it. Sometimes they tell but most times they don't. Like taehyung loves sharing all his outings on his insta like he does that with wooga as well so we know, plus he used to go live saying he called jk, this that so we know they have also spent time together in chapt2. But with jikook it's hard to tell although i completely believe they haven't met e/o as much as they used to in the past as their time never matched. I remember jm-hobi going to jk's home for his b'day in 2022 nd jk was live nd jin asked who were the Members that met him nd apart from jin who went there to give grapes to jk (from Jin's uncle's farm ig) only hobi nd jm went as usual cause jm-hobi always celebrate jk's b'day together and later after jk's b'day past 12 jm posted a pic nd the pic was from jk's home but jm posted the zoomed pic that if we didn't already know jm was there we wouldn't know it's from jk's home lol. Most of their outings over the yrs has been fans spotting them and never them posting those pics. They don't usually post. and it's not like they haven't seen e/o at all cause they did often but it's mostly with other members ig nd they didn't get enough time for just the two. Plus their"it's been a while" can never be measured accurately cause they love role playing, i remember jk saying"it's been a while" when he went to jm's home when they were together just 2-3 hrs before on stage cause that was last day of Seoul concert. Jk did say that they planned to go out for drinks but it didn't happen cause of jm's schedule. so it's about spending time together just the two of them as they're used to. im glad jm took initiative to go to NYC nd do all that after all times jk asked him to come over on those lives 😂

So i get why ppl would think that way but thinking they don't like e/o beacuse the Fandom portrays that way is really sad nd that's one thing i have always said that the Fandom never talks about jikook together the way they do for others like every now nd then there's always threads for all pairs of jikook like jinkook bickering, Taekook partners in crime, vmin-sope soulmates etc etc but there's hardly anyone talks about jikook's bond that's why new ppl who join the Fandom think they're not even that close or dislike e/o. I'm glad that atleast jk's lives were some form of proof for many ppl who joined newly to see that yes they share good bond.

Fandom will always talk about jk changing the colours in gcf Helsinki (do you know what's gcf? let me know) but won't talk about that in same gcf jk changed colour for jm too. won't talk about gcf osaka he stopped music just to let ppl listen jm's laugh, in another one he did same for jin-jm. won't talk about a whole ass gcf Tokyo that's fully on jm. you'll see them talk about that colour change jk did for RM every month but there's never mention of gcf Tokyo. Won't talk about how jk did a whole live watching jm's content had it been any other member jk did that for they would never shut up especially RM nd tae. Like there's soooo many things like that they brush it off because it's jikook but if it had been other members they would not shut up about it.

That's why when ppl say that comapny uses Jikook for money i always ask why would they use a duo that's not even fandom's fav? like yes jkk is 2nd biggest ship of BTS but the difference in numbers of Tkkrs nd jkkrs is wayyy too big. of course there's true armys who loves all pairs so they love jikook too but when the Fandom is majorly infested with Tkkrs it's hard. If someone find jkk then it's on their own. I'm glad you atleast got to see their beautiful bond, shipping is never a priority but appreciating bonds is so I'm glad you think they're close friends.

Sorry for long azz post 😅

No apologies, I read all of it haha. But yeah when I first became a fan, I would see the wildest things about JM, to the point that some of it even influenced me in the beginning just by how wide spread and accepted it seemed to be. For example that he was always invading JK's personal space against his wishes, but I came to realize luckily that they would use deceptive edits that were made to look a certain way. Not sure, but I think I've only seen the first GCF, because that is the one that they mentioned in the promo they did in the lead up to Are You SURE, at that one seemed to mean the most to them.

A lot of people thought that Jimin and Jungkook were not spending any time together, but in hindsight it feels pretty evident to me now that they were hanging out, we just didn't know about it (which duh lol). Jimin said to RM that him and JK have deep conversations about music for hours, to the point they even left Suga by himself one time lol. And again the fact that JK's mom brought up JM twice in that short conversation, means that there is a deep connection there as well. Not to mention they were planning to enlist together and filming a reality show together. So, it's nice to know that all the people who said they weren't close anymore or that didn't see each other were probably wrong.

[mrs-monaghan]

I'd love to know your thoughts on member dynamics during any Jikook dust ups over the years. Note: I believe Jimin is the original OT7er, and I agree with you that he probably put the group's needs ahead of their relationship. Every relationship has growing pains, though. Anyway, I tend to think Tae would side with whoever he thought was right in that moment. He definitely didn't like JK's tendency to be possessive of Jimin's time, in my opinion, and I think all the members probably checked JK on that at some point. I flip back and forth with Hobi b/c I think he's a peacemaker and probably wouldn't take sides. I'm not sure about Namjoon and Jin. Namjoon, being leader, I don't think he'd pick sides, but he did push back on JK's possessiveness in terms of skinship. I think Suga wouldn't give a flip.

Added bonus: this edit which I find funny though I haven't seen the original interaction to see where the creator took liberties, if any. I've seen Tkkrs use this clip as a "hey, Taekook approves of Yoonmin" moment, but, LOL, how? To me it reads more like Tae acting as a Jeon satellite assistant moment. Anyway, it's a cute edit. (I'm getting that error message that it's not a complete link.)

Oh no. Couldn't get the link 😪

Tarheeeeeeel. This is one hell of a question. But since you didn't say a break up i think it's quite easy. I believe all the members would listen to both sides and support the one they think is right. It wouldn't be about Jimin or JK it would be about reason. I think the Tannies are adult and mature enough to do this. So that's my answer. They would go by logic. And I can see RM and Jhope not even picking sides but rather talking to them and trying to get to the root of the issue.

So All would go by logic.

Except Suga.

U knew this was coming. C'mon. I don't even think Suga needs a reason; he is supporting Jimin no matter what.

Listen. Yoonkook are not close. 🤭🤭 How many ships are there in BTS? 22? 24? And out of all of them I would put Yoonkook at the bottom. Whatever number is last that's where I'm putting Yoonkook.

Disclaimer: Suga and JK love eo like all members love eo. At no point should you think I'm insinuating otherwise while you read this post.

But yeah. If I was to rate JK's ships I would put Yoonkook last. If we thought tkk was boring as a unit what about ykk? We all watched Irish bomb, come on now. There ain't no chemistry there either. This TT i shared here i would swap Tkk for Ykk. I mean, we talked about GCF Helsinki and Suga is the only one who remained dull and uncoloured.

And you know what? I don't blame JK. If someone kept looking at my boyfriend's ass and drooling over him plus checking him out when he showed a little skin, he wouldn't be my favourite member either. 🤷🏽‍♀️

So that's which side members are taking when Jikook fight or argue. I wanna talk about if God forbid there was a break up. Simply because I wanna hear what you guys think also.

So if Jikook were over (not gonna happen but if they were) and it wasn't amicable and members were forced to choose sides,

Let's start from the top. Who gets RM during the divorce? What do we know about RM and Jikook? We know Jimin is his confidant. We know he goes to Jimin when he's stuck and doesn't know the way forward. We know he and Jimin are always having heavy in depth talks and Jimin is always there for him. So I think Jimin gets RM during the divorce. Minimoni are legit.

Jin. We know after Jimin, JK is closest to Jin. The oldest member basically raised him. JK is Jin's baby y'all.❤ Tom and Jerry, they get along splendidly and there is never a dull moment when Jinkook are together. Even though Jimin has been there for Jin emotionally too, I personally think JK gets Jin in the divorce.

Suga. Do I need to say it? 😂😂 This dude is a no brainer. Of course Jimin gets Suga during the divorce.

Jhope. Another no brainer. This is Jimin's person. His best friend. His soulmate. His roommate for life. He knows where all the bodies are buried, Jimin trusts him explicitly. When JK messes up Jhope cannot wait to tell Jimin so yeah, I think we know who's side he would be on. 😂

Last but not least, V. Hmm... Kim Taehyung is a wild card. With him,

If you had asked me this before recent developments, I would have said Jimin gets V in the divorce. Easy. But now? Now Idk. He could be team Jimin, could be team JK, could refuse to pick a side and go wooga squad away. Who knows 🤷🏽‍♀️ As it stands I just dk who V would choose. Would love to hear y'alls thoughts though...

LAST CALL: Which is the final song on the Wings album?

[struggle-but-its-all-ocean-floor]

I recently watched all the Golden Closet films, and I must admit that they evoked strong emotions of longing and sentiment in me, they have this vibe that I can't describe. seeing the members together, doing regular activities, spending time together, fooling around on the beach or on set through Jk's eyes feels almost intimate. Each of these films has such an atmosphere of peace and harmony, creating a kind of memorial for fans and also members. I can imagine a time in the future when boys will recall these precious memories from their youth

Yeah, you can tell Jungkookie is a romantic who loves nostalgia and sadness haha.

I think his GCFs are already treasured memories to himself and us, but, obviously, as BTS grow older, these videos will become an even bigger record of his youth and of that time in his life when BTS kept growing bigger and bigger yet they had no idea what was coming.

There is intimacy and love in his GCFs for sure, especially in the Tokyo one - for obvious reasons if you know me at all - and in the Saipan one for the same reasons (I think you're describing that one), but also in the Helsinki one, which was like the last GCF we thought we'd get and it's a love letter to all the members, so it's really sweet.

I'm begging Jungkook to do a GCF in Tokyo pt. 2. I'd die.

But, yeah, Jikook aside, I really wish Jungkookie would do one of his GCFs again. Nowadays, it's more like short TikToks and his last one wasn't fully edited like him and it's obvious. I want one of his "real" GCFs again. They're really good, beautiful! Each has its own story, cinematography, emotion, and they're so precious to me. There's a feeling of tenderness to them. Jungkookie is our little genius.

LAST CALL: Generally how do you feel about watching reactors to BTS content?

Jikook Week 49 Complete (12/11-19/11/2024)

Their 49th week in the military is now complete. Today we are looking back at this week in 2019. On the 12/11, BTS headed to Helsinki to film the Winter Package 2020.

After arriving in Helsinki, they started filming with some friendly competitions and the formation of the teams that would explore the city together later. JK was paired with Namjoon, J-Hope, Jin and Jimin were the second team and Tae and Suga were the last team.

They then set about making snow globes each of which would be gifted later to another member whose name they had drawn from a Christmas sack. Here are the finished items.

Day Two - Their second day began with a shoot in the rain. I know this series of posts is all about Jikook but can we stop a moment to appreciate the peak fineness of Kim Namjoon here?

Deep breath while energetically fanning my face & back to Jikook.

What strikes me as I watch the filming of the Winter Package is that Jikook are rarely put in the same sub-unit for photos. If you just saw the pictures without the video you would never have a clue how behind the scenes they can always be found together.

In the first shoot we see them talking about how JK is filming what eventually became GCF Helsinki.

The 2nd location was a ski resort, and there, they are accompanying each others shoots and giggling as they dance together in the snow.

This was the first time JK had ever been to a ski resort...

....but it certainly wasn't the last.

That evening they wrote letters to ARMY. After a very long day filming, and being the beautiful soul that he is JK's emotions spilled out of him as he read his own extremely heartfelt letter. Jimin, JHope and Joon tried to make him feel better first by hugging him and second by changing the focus away from him to more comic things.

Day Three The next day BTS took the ferry to Suomenlinna for another photoshoot. Jimin was stunning with his grey hair and a long red coat.

Jungkook was also pleased to have his human hot water bottle on hand to warm up his hands.

This was followed by unit shoots at the hotel & on the magical night streets of Helsinki.

Day 4 was set aside for unit activities. JK and RM went to shoot at a park by the sea. Jimin went to a local market with Jin and JHope where he bought himself a fetching new winter hat.

Their last activity was an exchange of gifts in the local park. Presents were distributed as follows: Jk to Tae, Tae to RM, RM to Jin, Jin to Jimin, Jimin to Suga, Suga to JK, JHope to JHope.

On 16/11 BTS arrived back in Seoul. A busy but enjoyable few days for everyone concerned.

[dearweirdme]

taekookers in general consider taekook's premiere 'date' a statement, or a semi coming out, or water testing, or normalizing seeing them together. all of which make 0 sense.

1) taekook don't need to normalize the sight of them together as it isn't something abnormal to the fandom in the first place. 2) they're not coming out right before of military enlistment for sure, idk how people even consider that option, and 3) the "testing waters" thing is hypocritical.

what is there to test? reactions to what? there's nothing gay about attending an event together, namseok did it already, jihope did it at pfw, all of these members attended events together for the first time, and it'll probably happen more times in the future with different combinations of members.

and the fact that the people who dismissed any and every queer coded message in jungkook's gcf films are the same ones saying that is hypocritical. gcf tokyo had a queer coded song by a queer artist. gcf saipan had queer coded lyrics over jimin's part twice. gcf helsinki had the entire frame change to white and the filter change to bright colors when jimin appeared on screen (but people love to ignore that part yet always praise the filter warming up at namjoon's part). gcf osaka paused the music twice just to show us jimin giggling and being a goofball. the fact that in general every time jk's voice was heard in any of the gcfs was always because of jimin being at the crime scene. all of that means nothing though, because apparently jungkook is stupid and doesn't know what he's doing or what kind of messages his gcfs send in regards to jimin and the music he chooses is meaningless (even when he himself said he searches for the lyrics of every song he posts/uses) because people are being willfully blind. or jungkook is just a company puppet doing whatever he's told, including highlighting jimin in gcfs to serve a hidden company agenda.

if everything queer coded (the gcfs, showing up with the hickey instead of just covering it to avoid discourse, etc) thing jungkook has done in regards to jimin can't be him testing reactions or normalizing his... rather unique bond with jimin, then what is there to normalize about normal friend group hang outs or public appearances?

Hi anon, long time no see!

You are reacting to me saying I don’t think Tae and Jk were testing the waters by spelling out why they aren’t testing the waters. Isn’t us agreeing on that enough anon? Why the whole ask again? Go send this stuff to Taekookers who do think that instead, don’t use my blog as your platform.

Also, funny enough you say Tae and Jk cannot possibly be testing the waters.. but Jimin and Jk can?

I don’t disagree entirely that Jk could have been queercoding his GCF’s, but I dont think it’s likely. You however think he’s Jimin-coding his stuff… and that to me is highly unlikely. Idols in general do not share their relationships, no member of BTS has ever shared his relationship, Idols in general are not allowed to come out.., idols dating in-band is not great for marketing, so allowing a queer in-band couple to test the waters is not an option in SK. If it were only testing waters for a public relationship or only testing waters for a queer member… big maybe.. but all of those together, nope. If Jk and Jimin were actually together Bighit/Hybe would not have let Jk publish that GCF. They let him, because they know it’s a platonic friendship.

You take queercoding to a level it’s usually not taken to. Queer coding (and there is also debate on using this term dor real people, but I do get what you mean) is done by queer people to point out their sexuality, not their relationships. Queer coding is Tae referencing queer artists, and art, it’s Jk wearing queer coded clothing and doing song recommendations. It is not pointing to one person and outing your relationship.

You see everything Jk and or Jimin does through Jikook-eyes. Leave the ‘hickey’ (it’s a bite!!!) and the GCF’s and Rosebowl out of it for a minute… and then what is left of your ‘proofs’? You come to me with the same three things over and over and those just don’t actually proof anything, because it can also point to friendship. Ofcourse Jk and Jimin have a unique bond, they are members/brothers/friends who have lived together for years, who have gone through tough times together, who have worked together on a physical level as well… all of that creates closeness. Look at Hobi and Jimin and how they interact… not that different if only you want to see.

And please, read my posts better, because I’ve explained all of this before and I am not prone to change my mind about this.

I think we collectively moved on too fast from GCF Helsinki. Iykyk

GCF in Helsinki Yoongi in your coloring/style would be chef's kiss

first off thank you 😭🥺🤍 I think someone else just giffed helsinki yoongi really recently – BUT theoretically I could put orange beanie yoon in a whole comp as @cordiallyfuturedwight’s frozen butt suggested 😌
