Jikook Week 48 Complete (05/11 -12/11/2024)

Their 48th week in the military is now complete. Wow only four weeks left before they will have completed a whole year as soldiers. Today we are looking back at this week in 2018.

Award season was underway in South Korea and BTS attended the MGA Award show on the 06/11. It was an action packed evening and BTS went home with six awards: 🏆Best Male Dance, 🏆Best Male Group, 🏆Genie Music Popularity, 🏆Best Digital Album, 🏆Best Artist of the Year, 🏆Best Producer and 🏆Best Choreographer

It was a special night for JK, a long time fan of Charlie Puth, (remember he and Jimin covered We don't talk anymore beautifully for Festa 2017) that evening he got to appear on stage with him.

All his hyungs, including a very proud and excited Jimin, were watching from the wings.

Jimin was breathtaking that night and.......

....Jikook were relaxed and affectionate.

BTS were flying high and Jimin took the time to thank ARMY for their support in making it such a successful night.

"It was an amazing day, as it was my first time winning so many awards in one day. I sincerely thank all the ARMYs who cheered me on, and above all, this is my first popularity award since my debut. I sincerely congratulate our ARMYs. This award is yours thank you."

YOUNG K "DJ of the Year Award" (DAY6's Kiss the Radio) 2023 KBS Entertainment Awards

[jmdbjk]

And another thing...

Korean news media hyping how BTS has continued to release content with no gap even while enlisted in the military.

Yonhap News.

KBS News.

"Is this BTS' military service?" astounded, like... what kind of military service is this where the members are still active while they are enlisted??

They've even coined a new term to describe it: Rubber Shoe Content.

Apparently this sort of thing has not been done before, at least not to this extent, when an idol group is on break fulfilling their military obligation and release things for the fans while they are away.

"They are creating a new activity model to fill the gap with so-called 'rubber shoe content' for fans waiting for BTS, from music videos and entertainment documentary films to offline events."

The planning that had to have occurred and length of time it took for all of this to be produced... BTS and their staff, along with their agency BigHit and the resources available to them via Hybe, were able to carry out this extensive effort so that we would continually have things to look forward to while they are away. They worked hard before enlisting for us.

And we know more is coming! Wait until K-news sees Jimin and Jungkook doing MMA in their sleep!!

i think it should be considered obscene and predatory to have cops and the military in kids shows. promoting that kind of lifestyle/agenda to children is so creepy

In BTS, Tae has this image of being fragile, of having to have JK by his side to protect him etc. But with his performance in the military, I wonder now if he was just pretending to be this "damsel in distress" member that BH gave him to portray. Honestly, he seemed to be doing way better than JK in the military. I was expecting JK to be the one to excel the most and not Jin, Jimin and mostly not Tae. In real life, it was the complete opposite. JK didn't even receive any award during their graduation.

Hi anon!

I find myself having a completely different perspective on this. I’m not sure if your assessment of Tae’s image is correct. It’s not how I view him for sure, but I do know there’s some Tkkrs who see him as fragile and as needy towards Jk. That is not reality though. Tae is smart, he’s physically very fit, and he has a strong head on his shoulders. I am not by any means surprised about how well he seems to be doing.

I’ve been expecting all members to do well actually (a bit of an exception for Yoongi since his situation is vastly different). When you compare members against each other, sure there’s outliers; Jk being seen as the strongest, Namjoon as the smartest. But when you compare them to the average person… they are all very much above average in many aspects. They are all physically more fit, they are all used to extreme situations, they all have experience with training hard and having little sleep… the average person going into the military will not be as prepared as the members were.

I don’t think we actually know how well Jk is doing. Just because he didn’t get a medal, doesn’t mean is is doing badly, it just means there were at least six persons doing better during training. What I think is important for fans to understand, is that Jk is there against his will. I am one hundred percent sure that man did not want to go. So, so what if he doesn’t want to give them his best. The army might be able to claim his body to be present, but as long as he does what is expected.. they cannot claim anything more. Maybe he just doesn’t want to give them his best and if so.. good for him. I think fandom should be careful about putting these expectations on him. We are fans of Jk the artist, I really don’t need him to push himself for something he might not want.

Like I said, I do not recognize the ‘damsel in distress’ Tae you mention. Tae is hugely misunderstood and if you think he might’ve been faking this.. I think maybe you misunderstood him as well. In the past (when they were beginning their careers) I feel they were playing up certain emotions or actions for the sale of entertainment. I believe all members did that and it is not that odd in the entertainment business. But when they matured things evened out and I think it has been clear that Tae is not ‘just a pretty face’ (like BH also kinda pushed him to be). Jk himself described Tae as ‘some sort of genius’… and I absolutely agree.

Has terry (all eras) ever won any awards in his life

---

You know how celebrities often get awards and you can list like several people off the top of your head who probably deserve the acknowledgment far more and you've no concrete idea what famous person McGee did to deserve this particular accolade other than, you know, being hip, famous and convenient for PR? Or how politicians who make a hobby out of starting wars worldwide regularly get Nobel Peace Prizes and nobody bats an eye?

Well, I figure Terry Silver runs on that exact level of oxymoronic irony too.

I think the man received everything from Environmental Protection awards all while polluting the planet and making an unimaginable profit out of it, various social awareness awards all while generally being a menace to public safety, citizen of the year awards when this man is genuinely a threat to society even if slightly pushed, some sort of Anti-Bullying choice award because I adore the profound comedy in that and Terry himself would too; in fact, I can envision him barely containing a smile or a hard-on while receiving that one. Business awards. Public service awards because Terry is the friendly neighborhood billionaire, didn't you know? Seaborg medal for astounding contributions to biochemical research. A barrage of martial arts related trophies. Some sort of coveted science award connected to Dynatox's noble endeavors in the field of, ehm, engineering breakthrough, new technologies and preserving the ecosystem. The Yeah, feel free to laugh. But, whatever the case, he has awards alright. Notches galore under his belt. He has medals, accolades and acknowledgements aplenty and he collected them over the decades like captured trophies. A great many of them would've been better suited in anyone else's hands but his...which he knows and doesn't care. In fact, it amuses him. He lied, schemed, cheated, scammed and baby, he still got rewarded, praised and applauded for it anyway because the world's his oyster and he gets whatever he wants, when he wants it.

The only awards I don't see him getting en masse are military service awards, admittedly, which is a sore point and has been all his life. Maybe why he gave such a gleefully envious and downright venomous expression when faced with Mr. Miyagi's own medal (or perhaps, it is simply the notion he believes someone like, say, John, deserves it more over an old (insert slur here)). The one endeavor Terry did participate and actively toil in in the form of the Vietnam war without any of it being faked, unearned, bribed for or a media stunt and he doesn't have that many things to show for it. Well, nothing tremendously spectacular anyway. I think he could have something very basic, like his Army Service Ribbon followed by a Silver Star and he never ceased being peeved about it because he might've been convinced his suffering earned him more. Or maybe it was just a matter of ego and pride. Maybe both. Whatever the case, the one thing Terry wanted and coveted, he didn't, in fact, get.
