♫ title track: seoul - rm

☾ ⋆*･ﾟ:⋆*･ﾟ☾ ⋆*･ﾟ:⋆*･ﾟ☾ ⋆*･ﾟ:⋆*･ﾟ☾ ⋆*･ﾟ:⋆*･ﾟ☾ ⋆*･ﾟ:

seoul city lights lit the wet cement under your feet, finding beauty in the way it reflected the buildings like a mirror. the scent of rain flooded your senses with every deep breath in, entranced with the gentle pitter-patter on the umbrella overhead.

"bin we're gonna be late!" you giggled, hugging your boyfriend tightly under the umbrella you shared, having to hold it a bit lower to his head with how much taller he was than you. you stood on your tiptoes, kissing the tip of his nose when he faced you, cold and red from the chilly breeze.

the corners of his lips curled upward, eyes nearly closing with a big smile as a giggle escaping his lips; the sight and sound you so loved, making your heart bloom every single time.

arriving at the theatre, soobin held the door for you, sliding the umbrella closed and tucking it under his arm. the warm, popcorn scented air brought nostalgia to you at an instant, wanting to hop around like you were a little kid again.

he found your excitement adorable, taking his phone out on the sly and capturing a few candid photos of you with your hands full with popcorn, candy, an icee; everything you wanted.

you situated yourselves in the cushiony loveseat, soobin's long arm immediately wrapping around your shoulder, bringing you close to his side. of course, it was natural by now, but your heart still beat like it was your first date. the scent of his fresh hoodie, the warmth of his chest against your cheek. he was your home.

enjoying the movie you'd been waiting to see for months alongside soobin was the perfect way to start off your night together; looking up at him when he laughed at something funny on the screen, feeling his laughter vibrate through his chest and immediately rubbing off on you like a happy pill.

when he caught you looking at him he'd smile down at you, leaning down to press his lips to yours for a quick peck. or two. or three.

stepping out into the cold night after sitting in a warm theatre for hours was refreshing, filling your lungs with crisp, damp air. your boyfriend ran a few finger through his black hair, showcasing his beautiful face you could just stare at forever. knowing that if you told him how handsome he is he'd cover his face and deny it.

on the way home, you ordered chicken and beer, your favorite late night meal to share together after a fun night out. curled up on the couch of his high rise apartment together, laughing over stupid jokes and devouring the drumstick in your hand.

"have i ever told you that you look exactly like a bunny?" you tilted your head, pinching his cheek, flushed from several drinks.

"you literally tell me that all the time!" he folded over into your lap with a squeaky laugh, coming up for a breath with a hand was over his mouth.

"stop covering your mouth and let me see your cute bunny teeth!" you wrestled his big hand away from his mouth, realizing he wouldn't budge so you tickled his sides, making him jolt away.

you held his face with two hands, the pretty face you could just hold and kiss for an eternity.

"such a cute bunny," you pressed a kiss to his puckered lips, then peppering them all around his face. he wrinkled his nose, hugging the plush of your thighs

~

brushing your teeth together consisted of blasting music through his phone, using your toothbrush as a makeshift microphone for a solid 20 minutes before you decided it was time to actually use it for its purpose.

the city view from his apartment was the prettiest view of seoul there was; sitting at his bed in front of the large pane windows and just watching the city together, his long fingers raking through your scalp as you lay in his lap.

"i love seoul," his voice emerged from the stillness of the room, eyes following the droplets of water that scurried a long the glass.

"only because it's where i met you." you turned to face him as he tucked your hair behind your ear, sitting up on your arm, hair messy from him playing around with it. but what could you say, it was your favorite hairstyle only because he styled it.

"i love seoul too. only because of this one giant bunny." you grinned, his smile slowly growing in the dark, only lit by the city lights. you slowly met his lips as he leaned in, kissing them gently, forever entranced with how soft they were.

he ghosted his fingers along your jaw, then down your arm, it's faintness bringing chills to pelt your body all over, breath hitched in your throat.

you wore one of his oversized shirts, suddenly conscious that you wore nothing but panties underneath, wanting him to slip both off of you at this instant.

soobin was always slow and gentle with you, taking his time to properly warm you, give you the attention you wanted and needed.

pulling you to his straddle his lap, the kisses grew hot and heavy, sensing the tent in his boxers grow against you, wrapping your arms around him.

slowly lifting the large cotton shirt over your head he threw it aside, pressing your warm chest to his and exploring one another's mouths with the dart of tongues.

he switched your positions; laying you down on your back onto the cold sheets, gently lowering your head to the pillow. lowering his weight fully on top of you, loving the feeling of his bare torso and chest on yours, skin to skin, running your fingers across the plains of his back.

with the swiftness of his long fingers, your panties were off and just another mere article of clothing on the floor. one by one they collected in a heap on until you were both completely bare against one another.

"binnie," you whispered against his lips in between a heated kiss. "mhm?" he ghosted his lips over your cheek, soft yet needy eyes on yours.

"i need you, please-," you squirmed helplessly against him, afraid that you couldn't deal with one more second of him not inside of you.

"-need my pretty baby," you wrapped your legs around his hips to cage him in, hands around the back of his neck to pull him into your lips.

he moaned against your mouth at the sensation of your hot skin right up against his, the plush of your breasts squeezing against his chest. he just couldn't take it anymore.

"you need me baby? i'll give it to you, i'll give it all to my pretty princess," his voice was hoarse yet soft against your neck, his neediness to ram into you was through the roof. he just couldn't wait to be buried inside of you and make love to you.

after grinding himself against your wet entrance, he decided it was time and lined himself up with you, staring into your eyes to nearly catch a glimpse of your soul when he slowly thrusted into you.

the moans that left your mouth were unexplainable. the way your tongue danced with his, the way your walls fluttered around him, the way your hands grasped at each other’s skin and hair. in this moment, you were one. you loved this feeling more than anything, the feeling of being united with the love of your life.

your legs squeezed tighter around his hips as he interlaced your fingers and pinned them to either side of your head, heightening your senses as you were completely out of control. your binnie was feeling a bit dominant tonight…and it turned you on beyond comprehension.

"just relax and let me love you baby," he whispered into your ear and you nearly lost it. legs going limp by his sides and just letting him take over. it felt so amazing; your body moving up and down with each and every of his thrusts.

"i love you so much," he kissed your lips so softly, wrestling with your tongue in between every moan and whimper. the feeling of love that encapsulated your heart in this moment was overwhelming and you realized you were already so close to your climax.

"i love you so much bin- i'm getting…close-" you threw your head back and he knew what was around the corner.

"let it all go baby, give it all to me," his deepened his thrusts and quickened his hips against yours the perfect pace until you were right on the cusp, just one more thrust and you would completely unravel around him.

"oh god soobin!! right there” you whimpered and he caught your moan with his mouth, kissing you so deeply as your sounds harmonized, the twitch of his thick cock with the spasms of your walls as you came crashing down, catching your breath like it was your last.

he unpinned your hands and they flew directly to his hair, grabbing handfuls as you came so hard around him, his large hands grabbing a handful of your hips as he emptied his warmth deep inside of you.

you came quicker than normal tonight, maybe because you felt your love so deeply for him in this moment, or maybe because he was being a bit more dominant that it didn’t take much to have your heart racing with the heat of a fresh orgasm.

his forehead was gently plastered to yours, beads of sweat transferring from his ends of his hair to yours, mixing together in a sweet concoction of your love.

when your eyes fluttered open you were met with his deep brown, almost black eyes in this lighting. the city lights nearly sparkling in them as they shined so brightly through the window beside you.

this entire time he kept himself buried within you, that was, until he remembered the bath bombs he just bought and so direly wanted to try with you.

he slowly pulled himself out of you, placing his gentle lips to your damp forehead, kissing the spot more than ten times, going from soft to more aggressive as your laughs got progressively louder.

“my princess deserves a bath after being so good to me,” he looked at you with smiling eyes, wrapping his arms under your shoulder blades to peel you off of the bed.

your legs wrapped around his hips instinctively when he picked you up and carried you to the bathroom.

he began showing you all of the bath bombs he bought the other day on his way home from work, displaying them all on the bathroom counter and going on about how he thought you’d love the scent of each one and how he’s been wanting to use them with you.

your heart was filled with so much joy in this moment, all day for a matter of fact. as long as you were with soobin you felt right at home. it felt like a dream, living in seoul with such an amazing guy who treated you like a princess.

your big bunny, your home, your soobin <3

Why These Imperfect Korean ‘Moon Jars’ Sell for Millions

Old, round, imperfect and beautiful — that’s how fans of Korean art describe the moon jar, or “dalhangari.”

These unassuming, plain white pots have entranced everyone from rapper RM, of K-pop sensation BTS, to philosopher Alain de Botton.

The former director of London’s Victoria and Albert Museum, Beth McKillop, has called the moon jar an “icon of Korean identity.” And if price is any indicator of popularity, one recently sold for over $4.5 million at a Christie’s auction.

This month, a rare example from the late 17th or early 18th century will go on sale at Sotheby’s in New York, where it’s expected to fetch more than $3 million.

“A large moon jar has always been expensive, but I think the big uptick in prices and value is… because their appeal is now global,” said Angela McAteer, Sotheby’s international head of Chinese art for the Americas and Europe, over video call. “You’ve got an international cohort of bidders competing for them, so it’s gone beyond the traditional connoisseur collecting community of Korean art.”

Huge price tags also result from the jars’ rarity. Although made for over a century in the royal kilns of Korea’s last kingdom, the Joseon dynasty, few are thought to exist today. Estimates for the number of larger ones (those more than 40 centimeters, or 15.7 inches, tall and wide) that have survived over the years range from 12 to 30.

Having passed through auction houses and antique dealers across the world, several of these are now in the collections of institutions like the British Museum and Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts, as well as in the hands of private collectors.

‘Owning a piece of happiness’

The first moon jars were created in the royal kilns in Gwangju (a city just outside Seoul, not the larger southern city of the same name) from 1650 to 1750. They were made from pure white porcelain and kaolin clay, and, following the neo-Confucian fashions of their day, the pots reflected values such as propriety, humility, frugality and purity. They were likely used at court and in upper-class homes as containers for food and liquids, or as decorative vessels.

In the mid-20th century, moon jars began gaining international appreciation thanks to influential admirers such as Japanese folk crafts scholar Yanagi Soetsu and British potter Bernard Leach, who bought one from a Seoul antique store in 1935. Leach once said that having a moon jar was like “owning a piece of happiness,” and would later give his to fellow potter Lucie Rie for safekeeping during World War II. It stayed in her studio until her death and was later acquired by the British Museum.

Charlotte Horlyck, lecturer in Korean Art History at the University of London’s School of Oriental and African Studies, wrote in the Art Bulletin journal that after World War II the moon jar “caught the attention of an early generation of postcolonial Korean artists and scholars who sought to restore Korean art history and national identity,” as the pieces “resonated with the visual language of international modernism and minimalism of the mid-20th century while remaining a distinctly Korean work of art.”

The moon jar’s allure

When Sotheby’s announced its forthcoming sale, the auction house described its 44-centimeter (17.3-inch) moon jar as an object that inspired, astounded and soothed those who “stand in its presence.” It’s a funny thing to say about a pot, to speak as if it’s alive, but the jars’ visceral, emotional impact on people is something that comes up time and time again in the literature.

Choi Sunu, a former director of the National Museum of Korea, has described the museum’s moon jars as being like companions, or muses that have inspired his writing and stirred his creativity. Bernard Leach admired the pots for their “natural unselfconsciousness.” In 2012, South Korea’s then-Unification Minister Yu Woo-ik used the pot as a metaphor symbolizing a reunified Korean peninsula (moon jars are created in two hemispherical pieces and joined in the middle).

More recently the rapper RM, of K-pop group BTS, posted a picture of himself hugging a modern-day moon jar on Twitter, telling fans that the pots made him feel calm.

“It’s hard for someone to really comprehend how a pot can make you feel that way,” said McAteer. “It has this real meditative presence. If you’ve sat in front of a great (painting by US artist, Mark) Rothko and you feel this kind of palpable energy emanate from it, and you could sit for hours and just feel something in its presence — the moon jar has that too.”

“The more you look at it, the more there is to see. It looks different from every angle,” she added. “We had real issues with the photography and the catalog because it looks like a different piece every time you rotate it, or you change the lighting. The surface is just alive, you know.”

“You can see how the glaze coalesces; you see these spontaneous bursts of this blush color that’s happening in the firing. You can lose yourself in its surface.”

Modern masters

Modern Korean potters have been inspired by the jars, and a number have come up with their own homages. Ceramist Kim Syyong covers his pots with a black glaze, while Yun Ju Cheol’s versions look spikier like a pufferfish and Choi Bo Ram’s unvarnished, textured blue vases have a denim-like quality.

Others, like Kwon Dae Sup, have looked to closely recreate the process used by the potters of yore. The 71-year-old ceramist produces unadorned white jars and allows for all the beautiful imperfections produced to shine through. He works out of a studio in Gwangju, where the royal kilns that produced moon jars were once located.

There’s a great deal of preparation that goes into making a moon jar traditionally. It’s labor-intensive: washing, sifting impurities from the clay, kneading and rolling it to remove air bubbles, carrying around these large hunks, not to mention hand throwing the clay itself to that oversized bowl shape without collapsing, and the work keeping a pine wood fire burning for 24 hours while the pot hardens in the kiln. Kwon also built his own kiln to replicate the old process as closely as possible.

“I do this because it’s fun,” he said in a phone interview. “Every time I make something, it’s novel … The quality of the material is different every time. The conditions in which I make the pots is new every time.”

Kwon said he also feels an emotional connection to the moon jar. As a student he was so moved by a one he saw in a Korean antique store that he decided they would be his life’s work. “They feel alive,” he said.

In a 2019 book on his work by Axel Vervoodt Gallery the potter is quoted saying he tries to produce art that needs no addition or subtraction. “I wish to create work that has an imposing presence but harmonizes with its surroundings regardless of where and when it is displayed. It should give peace of mind and a sense of comfort to all who look at it.”

13 June 2023 - BTS 10 year anniversary

But, because he's taking his time, I guess I'll post now, and when he comes to us I'll add his message as well.

Ok, this is already a long list and this is barely scratching the surface. I didn’t include many Run episodes or their group vlives/lives or social media posts or concert moments or award show moments. And I didn’t link to anything…but these are (mostly) the real titles so you should be able to find them easily on YouTube.

Hope that helps! 💛

The MV was directed by Lee Sung Jin (src), creator of the series Beef, which was possibly referenced in Jung Kook's "Seven" MV (src).

LOST!

Release date: 24 May 2024

Teaser

MV Photo Sketch

Behind-the-scenes: Ioana Tudorache (climbing scene), Natallia Bulynia (blond TV host, #1, #2, #3, #4), Audrey Kang (overconfident persona, MV reaction, Day 1, Day 1.5, Day 2, Day 2.2, Day 2.4, Day 2.6, Day 2.8, Day 3, Day 3.2, Day 3.4, Day 3.6, Day 3.8)

The MV was filmed by a local team in Romania in Buftea (src). You can find more details about the production in this video from Euronews Romania (4:08 to 4:47). The MV also won the "craft : cinematography" prize at the 2024 Berlin Commercial Awards.

The show

The name is in reference to all the American evening TV shows, like The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon which is probably the inspiration for the title The Lost! Show starring RM.

The text on the hosts' mugs says 남준 한에 (inside Namjoon, src).

The stage, also featured in the Poster, is a labyrinth with no connected exits. You go in and out through the same opening.

In this setting, RM appears disguised as the only two women we see: the anchor and the director.

During the climbing scene, we see what's below the show stage. There are carton boxes and two trophies on the left, while it's suitcases and an abacus on the right.

The elevator

From this point, RM is accompanied by four personas (src): an overconfident one (played by Audrey Kang), an anxious one (played by Hee Sin (second Instagram post)), a jaded one (played by Stephany Yujin Hong (second Instagram post)) and a goofy one (played by David H Lee).

The elevator has lots of details, notably graffiti:

Lost in several languages: Pierdut (Romanian), perdu (French), lost, 로스트 (lost again but written in Hangul), 길을 잃... (Korean, possibly 길을 잃었 땅에서, based on the lyrics but it's hard to confirm)

BTS-related words: BTS (written in a heart), 남주니 ♡3♡ (Namjoonie), 金南俊 (RM's name in hanja, src)

어쩔TV

산얀 바보 (San Yawn is a silly guy)

천재 석준 왔다감 (genius Seokjun is here, note that the "genius" is written differently than the rest)

JAM

Care, urs (hard to confirm those two but urs is bear in Romanian, so it could stand for "care bear", src)

まち (town in Japanese)

ghost (a reference to the lyrics)

わすれちゃ (forgetting/I forgot in Japanese)

There are also several details on the buttons.

The numbers are arranged randomly (note that the clock visible in the credits also has randomly arranged numbers) and the destination names are mostly jokes:

12 5232 22

42 (42 is famously known in pop-culture for being the answer to the Universe, a nod to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy)

화장실 (washroom)

Pierdut (lost in Romanian)

Nowhere

We can note that there's a smiley on buttons 81 and 73. And there are two dots on button 98, then three on button 150. There's also a heart on button 3.

The offices

At 03:41, the persona played by David H Lee uses an extinctor directly on his face... after being the one who emptied the water tank on his face.

Groin

Release date: 28 May 2024

The MV was filmed in London:

the street parts are at Franklyn Rd (src)

the tunnel parts are at the Greenwich foot tunnel (src)

the closed road is Northwall Rd, along the Olympic Velodrome (src)

See this map for exact locations.

As the Army Film Club account pointed out, all the effects in the video are practical. They used mirrors and see-through objects, as confirmed by line producer Mia Foo in an Instagram story (archive).

[reflections-in-a-critical-eye]

Another day/week/hour of accumulating thoughts which haven't marinated enough.

That Zzinu guy (I can't remember his actual name) is really hanging out with everyone relevant in the industry, he's everywhere 👀 I saw him with RM on IG and at some concert, had no idea they were buddies.

Why did Jungkook come back just for a few days? What was that damn urgent to fly to Seoul only to go back to US in no time? I thought someone would enlist, but nope.

I took the bus downtown twice today instead of calling for a car. I have to stop being delusional and accept that I'm not rich.

I'm not gonna write a review of Tedros' album cause I don't feel there's a point, but I do have like a few things to say. Why is it being talked about like he started working on Layover 3 years ago? I mean, he started working on music, yes, but this thing that came out? That's like some team who probably put together the music a lot more recently. But hey, I'm just babbling so what the fuck do I know? Slow Dancing sounds good. I mean, nice enough to have it in the background in a playlist. All the songs feel too short, like they're some samples and they just decided to release them that way. Since his contribution was mostly singing the actual songs, it feels like he gave Min Hee Jin a pinterest board of who is Taehyung and from that entire thing, she created the Kim Taehyung artiste aesthetic. It's her vibe all over it. Just as it's her entire shtick all over NewJeans. It screams more MHJ than the actual idols.

I tried so hard in the past 30 min to stop myself from being bitchy, but I can't help it. To those who think that they got out of the jikook cult and now they're smarter and feel the need to still use the tag to post their bullshit? Wake up, you're still in a cult, you just switched to another. Absolutely pathetic. I wish I could fuck with pjms cause I admire the way they stand up for Jimin and they're like the most organized fanbase. But the moment they started using cult/tkkr narative and making Jimin sound like a puppet, I just knew they're not better. And a sign that I cannot affiliate myself to any group in this fandom, I'm riding on my own like I always have.

You know what's ironic though? Jikookers are basically the only ship fandom within bts who since the beginning and especially in the latest years, should have just sat back and relax cause they're so damn privileged. No other pair in bts is giving what dumb and dumber (I call them that with all my love) are doing together, but there's not a day in which I don't see stupid anons or jikookers fighting and bringing arguments. Waste of time!

And in that vein, pjms would only have to learn from their god damn classy bias who is no doormat and act accordingly. Fight for him without acting so damn stupid. In terms of artistry, he's the best out there out of this group and others in his generation. Isn't that fucking cool? And look at his behavior. Let army and kpop stans get frustrated thanks to Jimin's achievements and how you can contribute to that, not using the same foul language which only trashy stans are using. Do better ffs. Fix that attitude. And stop believing you know Jimin's brain and soul inside out. No one does. It only makes you sound like any other delusional kpop stan.

Key's Good & Great is out. I only had time to watch the mv once during actual work hours (fitting) and I can't get into anh details, but I liked the idea of workaholism tied to a simulation. There's tons of layers and stuff to be analyzed there, perhaps some other time.

[kanmom51]

It seems like the stage moment when JK said, “I love you,” to JM wasn’t as big a deal to everyone as I thought it was?! I mean that was it for me! He said it!! No more questions asked! How come there actually ARE still so many denials? That sealed the deal for me. And he actually outed himself! Right?!

I'm assuming it's this moment you are talking about, right?

Yeah, like most of JK says people seem to overlook, ignore, misunderstand, misplace, mistranslate or any other kind of mis you can think of, especially when it has to do with JM.

I for one, do believe it was definitley meant for JM and no one else. You can see him walking up to JM, looking at JM (eye contact) raising the mic and saying it, only to pat JM's arm after he said it.

Btw, this was back in April 2022, after their supposed breakup coming back from LA 2021. When from Dec 2021 through to March 2022 (the Seoul concerts) there was no sign of life from them together, no sightings, no sm contact. You know, the usual shit people use to claim they are done, distanced, finished with each other, only to be disproved time and time again.

Anyway, back to JK and his "Love you"... JK in LV was wild, wild in love with JM that is. A clear continuation to his behaviour in the Seoul concerts but even more, louder.

I kind of think he got a bit of a talk to after, lol. I mean, even JM was giving him the "you've gone too far" look (not to mention RM's nerves were shattered) after that finger heart stunt. If not for those two and their reactions, I wouldn't have even thought it to be a big deal, but must have been the straw for them, or perhaps JK giving a rat's ass after already having the talk to, who knows, lol.

But look, if sucking on JM's ear or caressing the hickey JM left on his neck or telling people to stay jealous cause he's going to keep holding JM, or doing whatever they were doing during the last Seoul concerts in October 2019, or having JM's name tattooed on his hand, didn't even make a dent in these people's y/n fantasies, you think him saying "love you" to JM would?

[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.

He went from calm Kim Namjoon to having a full-on Kim Golden Retriever moment,, How can you not love him (sobs)

자켓 속 의상을 다시 입고 나타난 (and 헤어컷) 남준의 모습에.. 심쿵해서 셔터를 멈출 수 없었던 건 안비밀 ᵕ_ᵕ̥̥

Seeing Namjoon wearing the outfit he wore in the jacket shooting (and the haircut).. It’s no secret that the camera shutters won’t stop going off because we’re so in love ᵕ_ᵕ̥̥

같은 회사에 다니고 있는.. 슈가씨와 함께한 슈가슈가룬!? 아니죠! 이럴슈가저럴슈가?! 아니죠!

Together with SUGA.. who works at the same company SUGA SUGA Rune*? Nope! This SUGA that SUGA?! Nope!

(T/N: *A play-on of the title of the Japanese manga series “Sugar Sugar Rune”.)

슈취타! 에서 찍은 컷들도 한번 보고 넘어가 주실게요 (찡긋)

Let’s take a look at some photos taken at Suchwita! (wink)

섬섬옥수 and 낯익은 기차 이곳은 뭐다 (?)

Slender hands and a familiar-looking train what is this place (?)

많은 아미들을 설레게 한 Still Life MV 현장이다,, 덮준 vs 깐준 = 아미들의 선택은? (방림이는,, 못 골라,,)

The set of Still Life MV that got lots of ARMYs excited,, Joon with bangs vs Joon with swept-back hair = ARMYs’ choice? (Bangbell,, can’t choose,,)

섬섬옥수와 NPR 남준이라면 어디든 두렵지 않아 - ☆ (펄-럭)

아미들을 위해 남준이 준비한 비장의 콘텐츠들이 많았죠?

As long as it’s NPR Namjoon with his slender hands I won’t be afraid no matter where we are- ☆ (Flutter)

Wasn’t there lots of hidden content that Namjoon prepared for ARMYs?

방림이가 아껴두고 아껴둔 들꽃놀이 헤메 남준과 (귀엽) 부잣집 도련님 같은 Still Life 남준 (까리) 아미들이 보고 또 봐도 계속 보고 싶어 하는 Change pt.2 목폴라 남준 (멋짐) 그리고 덤덤한 무드를 잘 소화해낸 No.2 남준까지! (아련)

Bangbell Wild Flower hair and makeup Namjoon (cute) Still Life Namjoon who’s like a young gentlemen from a rich family (sexy) Change pt.2 turtleneck Namjoon who ARMYs just want to keep looking at (cool) And No.2 Namjoon who creates a very calm mood! (sorrowful)

1인 4색을 소화하는 남자가 있다!? = K.I.N.G 남준 = K.I.N.G.J.O.O.N

There’s 1 man who can pull off all 4 types!? = K.I.N.G 남준 = K.I.N.G.J.O.O.N

지적인 모습(?)을 보여줬던 피식쇼! 영어 자유롭게 쓰는 남자,, 어떤데,, (말해 뭐해)

Showing off his intellectual side(?) at the Psick Show! A man who freely uses English,, What do you think,, (Say no more)

많은 아미를 설레게 했고,, 질투도 하게 만들었던,, RM Live in Seoul @Rolling Hall

방림이가 아미들에게 보여주려고 셀렉한..! 리허설 남준도 보고 가세요~! z1존 섹시.. ദ്ദി´ ▽ ` )

What made lots of ARMYs excited,, and made some envious as well,, RM Live in Seoul @Rolling Hall

걸어오는 모습일 뿐인데 방림이 이미 Kijul…

건국해 김남준 (주섬주섬.. 방림이 이사 준비 중..)

It’s just him walking but Bangbell has already Passed out…

어제 아미들에게 깜짝으로 찾아온 시아노타입 체험 방밤! 시아노타입 체험 중일뿐인데 이렇게 청순해버리기 있음..?

5252.. 계속 이런 식이면 남준에게 사랑밖에 줄 수 없어! (곤란)

Yesterday, he surprised ARMYs with a Bangtan Bomb trying out cyanotype! He’s just trying out cyanotype, but he’s so pure.. ?

Hey hey*.. If he keeps this up I’ll have no choice but to give Namjoon nothing but love (Difficult choice)

(T/N: The number 5252 is pronounced ‘oh ee oh ee / 오이오이’ in Korean, which sounds a lot like the greeting ‘Hey / eo ee, 어이’ that would shout at someone.)
