I’ve seen a lot of talk about how JK loves Jimin in the show, many have pointed out all the things he says and does for Jimin. But what does Jimin do for JK? How did we see him love Jk in the show because I’m struggling to see it and hate that.

You mean apart from claiming him?

Coz anon, letting the world know a person is yours kinda goes to show Jimin loves the hell out of JK... hard enough to announce to everyone, but okay. If u want us to look at a few instances then we shall...

I gotta say though, not seeing how Jimin loves JK is wild. But, let's proceed.

I personally still can't get over Jimin waxing himself for JK. Its giving, amazing boyfriend who knows what his man likes 😏

I'm sorry but that is so gay

Alright anon. To really start us off, is the reason why AYS exists in the first place.

We saw JK missing Jimin here and Jimin missing JK here. So Jimin doing this did not surprise me at all. I mean, we all remember he's it done before in 2019, so he's a grand gestures type of boyfriend. Wbk 😍🥺 I mean, man did say he would travel to the moon for JK. Literally.

So yeah, that's Jimin for ya. The guy who you can't seem to see just how much he loves JK 🤦🏽‍♀️ Moving on... so they decided to play RPS

Jimin wins and what does he do?

That's right. The rule of the game is to pick what you want first and eat that. But no, Mimi knows his baby loves to eat so even though he won, he finds out first what JK wants.

They play again, Jimin wins and once again,

He offers JK first.

Makes you wonder what the point of this game is atp 😂😂 but Jimin will always put his man first and that's on fax. Cue editors pointing it out for you anon;

Still you missed it... smh.

Next.

When he allowed a probably tired JK to rest on his shoulder.

How cute was that? It reminded me of this:

Jimin doesn't love JK you say? Let's continue ☺

JK is special. We've known this for years. Jimin has always given JK that special treatment and has never even tried to hide it.

This post would feel incomplete if we didn't talk about their none existent hyung/dongsaeng dynamic.

Not me going into bedroom territory and cackling at the fact that JK probably loves to rile up top Jimin. 🤭🤭

Ahem. Moving on swiftly 😌 to this other sweet moment.

i.e Jimin giving up his seat for JK.

And you who is reading this saying that aint a big deal... umm, I beg to differ??? They were filming something that was gonna be viewed by millions so of course one wants to look their best. And JK knew this which is why he asked Jimin about his best side in the first place. So yeah, this was a very sweet thing Jimin did for JK.

Jimin is a really nice person. You know? Like, Jikook aside, this dude is the real deal.

Anygays,

Jimin supporting JK's music. Standing next to you especially 😂 but I also loved when he sang hate you. That was awesome. And don't forget SEVEN too.

Last but definitely not least (due to maximum image space) Right in the beginning anon, the show opens with Jimin being super worried about JK's voice.

Jimin is not even subtle with how he treats and loves and dotes on JK.

I'm struggling to see it and I hate that.

Anon I can't believe you. Struggling? With Jimin of all people? Just for that I'll be coming back with a part 2. Hope these moments ring some bells for ya

I Love You (I'm Sorry)

I'm feeling emo today, so let's talk about this tweet.

This is my roman empire. For many Jikookers, too. But I feel like there's a slight mistranslation that always gets passed around and we sort of lose the actual meaning behind the tweet when, in reality, there's no reason to be ommiting words. JK's message is still as lovely, but let's revisit it, shall we?

For context, the translation I always see says: (...) you know my heart, you are me I am you. No matter how much I think over*, I love you.

Tweet text: Happy birthday Jimin-hyung! (formal) and I'm sorry ❤️ (said cutely)

#JiminHappyBirthday #I'mReallySorry #Sorry #OnceAgainI'mSorry #IKnowYouLookCoolWhateverYouDoButI'mSorry (1) #ItSeemsYou'reStillSleepingI'mSorry #YouKnowHowIFeelRight? (2) I'mSorry #YouAreMeIAmYou #IHadToDoItForTheSakeOfLaughterI'mSorry (3) #NoMatterHowMuchIThinkItOverThePictureIsPerfectI'mSorry* #ILoveYou

(1) The subject of who knows Jimin is cool is not very clear here, I've gone for *I* because JK is the one writing it and posting the 'ugly' picture. 'Cool' in Korean is often used to compliment a man, and it tends to mean that he's handsome. At least in my personal experience, whenever it was used was when a guy was looking good or had a bit of a 'cool and mysterious' vibe.

(2) You know my heart is a direct translation, but I find that what JK means is "you know my intentions, right?" As if saying, I'm not posting this to make fun of you, it's because it was so funny I couldn't help it.

(3) A more direct translation (but wordier) would be: it was an inevitable decision made for the sake of laughter. 어쩔수없다 is 'can't be helped' or 'there's nothing you can do', 'inevitable'.

*The translation that always goes around ommits the last bit and it annoys me, so, so much. He says no matter how much I think about THE PICTURE, it is perfect (I'm sorry, I had to post it.)

Full text without "I'm sorry":

I know you look cool no matter what you do. I think you're still sleeping. You know how I feel, right? You are me I am you. I had to do it for the sake of laughter, the picture is perfect no matter how much I think it over. I love you.

So, yeah, it's a little different from no matter how much I think it over, I love you. But it's still so heartbreakingly sweet and funny. He took those pictures of Jimin without him knowing, saved them in his gallery for months, probably, and then posted them without Jimin's knowledge again to give him and armys a cute, funny surprise. Jungkook finds Jimin so cute and funny. He feels bad whenever he's teasing him a little (he's so gentle with him, most times I find that it's only with him.) He thinks he's cool no matter what he does. He loves him, he loves him!

Isn't he sweet?

AreYouSure 🛥️ 💦 moments

All their GOOD FEELINGS 🥰

One of my favorite moments of AYS will always be Jikook in walmart strolling around the aisles. Jimin's frustration at always losing Jungkook and cursing him under his breath while Jungkook searched around for snacks, will always be peak comedy to me!

⭐️Support ‘Are You Sure?!’⭐️

People leaving toxic reviews & targeted ratings on IMDb❗️

Hi guys, I don’t usually do this but please could you go on IMDb and give Are You Sure?! Your ratings for episode 1 & 2.

Certain groups of people with agendas are pushing ep 3 & 4 and giving toxic reviews in regards to Jimin & Jungkook’s show.

Obvious what kind of person this is and what they’re trying to do/say

Please downvote if you don’t agree

They pushed for this show for us though tremendously busy, sick and exhausted.

They had so much fun and wanted to share it with us.

These people tried to do this with the 10 Year Record of BTS book and now they are doing this with the show.

🤡

Please show the show (and especially episodes 1 & 2) your support. Let’s support Jikook so they can as they said do it for 50 more seasons💪

Thank you 💜

The way I randomly think of this live…what even was this? 🫠

[carywns]

Jimin and Jungkook in the same car together was the gift that kept on giving. Besides how at ease they were with each other, the banter made it all so much better. Because even then, they had a huge smile on their face. I know it's easy for me (and others) to call Jungkook a brat (he can be), but Jimin is no better and sometimes he likes to push Jungkook's buttons to get a reaction out of him.

Yes, that is definitely how a dongsaeng should talk to his hyung. That dynamic was either all over the place or completely absent. It felt more like they were both on equal footing and sometimes it should shift but I couldn't sense any of that more traditional age based relationship they are supposed to be having.

And all this for to me say that I have this tiny desire to witness a real argument. We know how they deal with conflict within their relationship through the retelling of their rainy day fight, but that was ages ago. They are more mature now, with their relationship in a different stage and that brings other issues to the surface. The short and heavily edited conversation about the lack of quality time was a small window into that. Both were laughing and indeed in wasn't a serious conversation, but it did confirm once again how needy and attached Jungkook is. And that doesn't exist in a vacuum. It can show through more cute/funny "moments" on camera, but we all know there's many ways for that to manifest.

What I'm trying to say is that as much as I emphasize that all I want is to enjoy KM, the truth is that it doesn't only include cute moments. I enjoy when they argue or when one is not in the mood or maybe bored, etc. Or when they disagree. It's a mark of authenticity there in terms of how they agree to come across on screen as individuals, but also it's the complexity of their relationship, regardless of its nature.

Often, the issue was (and still is) with the difficulty of putting Jikook in a box. To clearly define their relationship and dynamic. As opposed to other ships which a lot of the times heavily rely on fictional tropes and it's easily noticeable in ships across k-pop fandoms. The behavior might have variations, but the fans are set with their definition of what that pair is like. The bigger part of its component remains the same due to circumstances, personality, type of content, etc.

Even with the BTS fandom/solo stans and all factions of micro-fandoms, they can't really pinpoint jikook and tend to take the fanservice route (which is a confirmation in itself of what they actually see, but I digress). They're not the bickering duo, the married couple or any other trope-like dynamic. With AYS and having access to Jikook in a format that allows us to take a closer look at less interrupted interactions, it becomes even more difficult to pin them down. Which, if not an indication of an actual romantic relationship (the shipping perspective), at least it clearly shows a life spent together outside cameras that seeps in at every turn. At a complaint, a commentary, a familiar touch.

To be continued...

Give him cuddle so he won't feel cold at night? In the summer?

i am so damn tired of so many army refusing to let jikooks bond be considered special. and i am tired of them trying to gaslight people into believing that theyre not doing it. this isnt about viewing jikook romantically. so many army will not acknowledge jikooks friendship and how close they are and when they do they make it an ot7 thing.

- compilations of jungkook with other members (like them being on his live streams, him copying them, etc) which are suspiciously low on jimin content.

- comments under jikook videos saying they love all of bts relationships or "jungkook loves bts" which is true but why do yall have a habit of flooding jikook videos with these comments and not other pairings?

- the constant downplaying or ignoring of stuff jungkook does and says as if jikook is a one sided bond. ex: jungkook being called jimins cook, jungkook saying he is always watching jimin, jungkook doing a live to watch jimin content, baby jungkook saying he teases jimin because he likes him so much, jungkook going to jimins room all the time when they lived together, etc. its god damn crickets about this stuff outside of jikook shipper spaces.

- people hyping the fuck out of other duo content but being unusually silent or outright hostile to jikook duo content. why did i see so few ot7s excited about jikooks travel show? why do i see so few ot7s calling out solos and other shippers making terrible comments about them when they do things together?

- people being totally okay saying jungkook had/has a crush on nj, that th and jimin are soulmates, that th and jungkook are twin flames or two sides of the same coin, that x member has a soft spot for x member as long as its not jikook. jikook are not allowed these sorts of comments which are inherently counted as shipping when other pairing comments are not.

like you are not allowed to acknowledge jikooks bond in this fandom without catching some sort of flack. why do i have to go to jikook specific blogs just to see them being appreciated? most ot7s wont acknowledge that this is happening and act as if jikookers are just being crazy shippers. and its ridiculous because appreciating jikook doesnt have anything to do with shipping! it drives me crazy seriously.

jikook are best friends. this should not be such a hard fact to accept.

Some very cathartic words needed right now for my overly emotional ass 😭💛💜

The current circus 🎪

Everything that's been happening last months on the ex-bird app regarding our boys has been a circus.

Jimin and Jungkook's solos have been going for each other's throats, especially since they enlisted together, and part of the cult has been growing increasingly toxic, fabricating rhetoric day by day.

Daeun is this month's special guest in this circus, invited by the thousands of toxic users on her Instagram, who encourage her to go even more psychotic, if that's possible.

We would have been naive to think that the cult would not take advantage of this clout-chaser's behaviour to try to take Jimin out of the Taekook love equation, even though they know perfectly well that such an equation doesn't exist.

Even if it were true that Jimin had dated this or that person, they surely know (deep down) this does not prevent Taejennie from existing (sorry but walking hand in hand along the Seine during Cannes week seems more solid proof than the legs of a sofa), nor it can make Taekook suddently behave like a couple or lovers. Taekook have cute moments - as do the rest - but their relationship dynamics - their quarrels, their sometimes passive-aggressive behaviour, their antics - clearly scream ‘friends’.

But it doesn't matter what we say, or how much we report them. We're a small minority. And as long as the general fandom does nothing, we're not going to shut them up... or stop digital kpop magazines from echoing their obsessions.

Anyway… focusing on what’s happening and how it affects Jimin and JK…

...They seem to care about this the same as they cared about the weibo vid with JK , i.e. they don't give a 💩

But before elaborate on this, let me make a small confession....

✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ:✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ:✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ:✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ:✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ:✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ:✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ:✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ:

I have tried for months not to 'label' Jikook (and I keep trying not to).

I admit that 2023 was a year of ups and downs for me with them, with great gestures and big unknowns.

From seeing them missing each other ...

....to see them lead totally different lives....even their mindset was different.

Military service came to shake everything I thought at the time and made me (and probably some of you too) realize two things:

One is pretty obvious, but still true: there is a whole LIFE behind the scenes - their real and personal life - that people don't know about.

It doesn't matter what they are (partner, lovers or friends, or all three). They are important enough to each other to not want to be separated for a year and a half, even if it means going to the north of their country, to a harsh and unpleasant frontline area in winter, with many more risks.

Add to this their way of supporting each other during the year, their exclusivity to record a travel show (while traveling together, the obvious but most important 😉), and their constant flirting in the Vlivеs..

Come by, I know you're bored (and we won't be bored).

I'm not that easy

Come by (I've got some nice fried chicken here waiting for you)

I want to tie your hair... my shrimp, my mura...

✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ:✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ:✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ:✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ:✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ:✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ:✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ:✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ:

Do you think two people with stable partners would do all of this?

I dont think so....

If we move to 2020, 2021, or 2022, it's even worse, with hickeys, White Day dinners, birthdays together, "love you" on stage, collecting stamps, etc.

I find it hard to believe the rumors about them being with women, not so much because they can't be plausible, but because I can't reconcile these supposedly solidified relationships some claim they have (with Yubi, Daeun especially) with how they’ve behaved with each other over these years.

I'm an adult, I have a brain (LOL) and I understand that relationships can change and even end. But.Jimin and Jungkook have continued to behave the same or very similar during all of these years... Facts at the end of the year endorse this.

Could they both see other people and have nothing more between them than a special friendship or something undefined?

They could BUT... we all know that their personalities are not the most conducive to that kind of life style or behaviour. Jungkook is sentimental and possessive. A few perilla leaves could be a big problem for him. And Jimin has a high regard for love and is one of the most respectful and discreet idols out there.

So, long story short.....thousands of rumours can spread, and yet the only thing that remains undisputed is the deep and real feeling that exists between them. As we saw in September, with the leaked JK video (and him going in the other way the next days on tik tok LOL), no rumour can shatter their bond, not even the toxic ones.

The "But you gotta be there for me too" has made them choose each other over other important things, both while they were active (searching for time to record a travel show together when their schedules were full) and during their military period.

Anyway, it goes without saying that I don't believe that "clout-chasing wannabe famous" woman... but this post will remain valid for other times, other rumors, other evidence, other lies, and other truths.

Because I have learnt my lesson: so far the only thing that has remained solid as a rock is their LOVE, without labels, which is simply precious, not based on rumours or theories, but on FACTS, and which they protect above all else.

[carywns]

this news is about them signing their group contracts not their solos contracts that's a whole different thing will likely come out later by next year when jhope and jin exit the military.

***

See what I mean about akgae assertions made entirely to soothe their anxieties whether or not it's based in fact?

Anon, the fact is you have no idea how their contracts are structured. You don't know if each member's contract includes clauses for both group and solo projects and management. You don't know if the contracts are structured collectively or not. You don't even know if another set of contract signings related only to solo careers will be announced when Jin and Hobi are discharged. In fact the only reference to 2Seok in the main press release, is in the signing of the same contract renewals that were announced today, those two singled out only because they cannot physically sign the document until they're out of the military.

And this is aside the fact that BigHit has a fiduciary responsibility to not misrepresent anything about the nature of these contract renewals to their investors. Meaning if they were aware the members are signing solo contracts with other companies, undercutting the exclusivity HYBE enjoys managing the artists that account for 60% of their topline, they could get sued to hell and back by their investors for it.

So, in response to news that the members have agreed to renew with Bighit, you're already filling in the blanks to create a scenario in which the member you want to leave and sign with another company can still do so. I mean, it's possible theoretically speaking, but the point is neither you nor me has any basis or evidence to support that assertion. The member you bias choosing to remain with BigHit to manage his solo career, is an anxiety you have, that you've now created a scenario to soothe yourself.

My little unsolicited advice: It's been a hellish six months. I get it. Many things happened and are still unexplained and people just want the absolute best for the members they love. But these guys are not rookies. The industry is ruthless and corporations have their agendas, but if their company was out to sabotage them, BTS as a group would've been dead in the water long before you ever heard about them (just look at the trainwreck k-pop has been in all year). The members are the only people who know what they want, they have significantly more information about the state of their careers than anybody telling you anything on Tumblr.com. Take a page from our resident muggle Jimin and step away from the internet for a bit.

Stream his music, buy his album for your niece or dad, introduce your friends to those Ethereal Beauty Jimin videos on Youtube.

Good luck and borahae ami.
