So Saturday night I had my “k-popped”!

No, nothing naughty….😏😏😏

My first kpop concert! I am no longer a kpop concert virgin 😁😁

ATEEZ was here in Nashville last night. I am so into BTS I had never really listened to them. Well, a friend of mine who knows I love BTS surprised me with free tickets to their concert through her company … and they were in a suite! She figured since I love BTS I might enjoy ATEEZ too. I love that she thought of me 🥰. And….it was an amazing concert! It was almost overwhelming…there was so much to take in!!! I really liked their songs and they are AMAZING performers. My husband and my friend’s husband were telling me after the concert that they now have mad respect for K-pop groups after seeing ATEEZ live. Even though the music was not their style, they were so impressed by how well they sang, how energetic and well choreographed their performances were and how much they engaged with the audience. It was obvious to them how much the group loves their fandom.

They couldn’t believe how loud the crowd was in the stadium, saying it was hands-down the loudest arena event they have ever been to. And that’s saying a lot because my husband has been to soooo many concerts, professional and SEC football games, and hockey games.

It was an INCREDIBLE experience and I am SO READY for BTS!!!

[dgtn]

BINGO

BULLSEYE

@kanmom51 HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD (pun intended 😏).

IMO … it wasn’t what he said…it was when he said it. And then literally a 1/2 second apology and let’s move on…nothing to see here…y’all heard nothing.

Jikook … 💜💛🏳️‍🌈

Let's talk about the "precious" discussion going on.

Well, not about what it means, because we all know that already.

But about the sort of backlash or backflip going on.

Sort of.

Apparently, and this is coming from some accounts on X, K-Jkks are a bit upset (?) that I-Jkks are running with this. "Making a big deal of it".

And there is a bit of a back flip that it's not a big deal that JM didn't mean to talk dirty (that's what I'm understanding from the discussion), and that when he realized he did he immediately apologized.

*side note: This kind of feels like gatekeeping or policing, even more so when I've seen some of the original posts being deleted most likely due to the pressure that was put on them by others on X.

But here's the thing.

And this is totally my pov, my thoughts, which I do not claim to be 100% true, as I am not a mind reader. But you know what? Those that claim otherwise aren't either. They don't know what JM meant or didn't mean to actually say.

What I think is that these sort of nay sayers are right but also I think they aren't.

How's that?

Well, I do think that it was a slip of the tongue.

On the live.

Not a slip of the tongue for someone that dare not speak those words. Not a slip of the tongue in the sense that JM doesn't talk that way at all or around JK or that in his mind he meant to say something else but it came out in a way it shouldn't have and he was shocked when he realized it.

Well, I'm positive JM didn't mean to let this kind of comment slip during their live. And that's what shocked JK and had JM all embarrassed and apologetic.

Not the fact that he said those words.

Not the fact that he didn't mean them.

Not the fact that he talks like this with JK.

Because he does. Often.

That's exactly one of the things they do. Flirt and talk with laced sexual innuendos.

JK has done it in the past - ehm... ramen eating for one.

They both had a giggle with that one. Not to mention their ramen discussion in AYS Jeju (also, quite suggestive and flirtatious).

JM has done it too - rabbit spit is spicy;

or "let's be honest, you enjoyed it right?" with JK's hand bounding for ON MV;

or not in words but most certainly sexually suggestive and clearly making him laugh with the hot dog in his Tokyo live - remember there was a JK sitting right opposite him off camera - a healthy assumption).

This latest one was pretty blunt and I think the realization it was done live (no edit out options) is what surprised the two of them, lol.

So no, I don't think that JM didn't mean what he said (like some are trying to say).

I get it that K army are saying this, well some of them, because others are still running with the fact that he actually did say that word and not that it sounded like and he didn't mean and whatever else is being said.

JM did mean to say it.

You know what? Just like he meant to write the comment "I'm not that easy" on JK's 27 July 2023 in bed live when JK was trying to get him to do the live with him.

He just didn't mean to say it live. Regretting it the second it came out.

Just like he did back then, going and deleting it immediately.

It was definitely a slip of the tongue. Not because that isn't the way he talks with JK but because it happened to slip out during their live broadcast.

And for those that are now saying "it isn't a big deal", again, yes and no.

Not a big deal that a close to 30 year old man makes a sexual innuendo, not a big deal it being a slip of the tongue.

And yet, it is actually quite telling. Because this is exactly how the two converse. Including with and around the others btw. They are all adults. But in the conversations between them, about them (spicy rabbit spit) there is a lot of sexual innuendo tossed around, just like with any real life sexually active couple!!

I also want to say this: those who are back flipping with "it's not a big deal because he didn't mean to say that" are the ones making it into a big deal. They are the ones that have an issue with a man nearing 30 talking like a man his age would. The members swear and they talk dirty and they have sex and it's time that people get that through their heads. JM is a precious human being but he ain't no saintly virgin who doesn't swear (have you seen AYS????), doesn't talk dirty and doesn't have sex. To those who are still living in that dream I guess I say it's time to grow up. He most certainly has!!

I will say this once again clearly and loudly:

JM meant to say what he said. It was clearly a dick joke.

His shocked reaction wasn't about saying something rude or god forbid having something he said be misconstrued as something rude. His shock was that it slipped out when they were doing a live, in front of millions of people that were watching them.

It's not about what he said, it's about when and where he said it!!!

This wasn't his big gay reveal.

This was a slip of the tongue during a conversation he was having with the person he is used to talking this way with.

Only thing is that he was punch drunk tired at this point, that he, in the moment, kind of forgot that the conversation was being broadcast live to millions of people.

The millisecond later, after JK's reaction, and when it dawned of him, is when he got flustered and the whole apology to follow came to be.

It's not about what he said, it's about saying it live in the company of millions of fans.

[dgtn]

Our boys r back! I know so much has already been posted 🥰. So I’m just gonna add this here…

JK sitting under the JM and JM sitting under the JK.

You are me and I am you

Jikook … 💜💛🏳️‍🌈

[dgtn]

What a way to wake up this morning…thx @kanmom51 🥰

A beautiful song for a beautiful edit of our beautiful Jikook 💜💛🏳️‍🌈

D-8

8 days to go and another beautiful Jikook edit to share:

Soon my friends.

Very soon...

[dgtn]

I’d love to know the answer too … I really wish that certain segments of the fandom could just enjoy jikook and their OBVIOUS closeness instead of constantly trying to tear it down

Jikook … 💜💛🏳️‍🌈

Lee Saeon's story today.

Yeah!!

It's always wise to cross all your T's and dot all your I's before running with unsubstantiated rumors as factual.

You would think that first, claiming that Lee Saeon only dropped JM off at the airport, then changing to him actually travelling with him, and identifying the long haired dude with the cross bag as Lee Saeon (with a whole "oh, how lovely he and JM dress similarly"), before realising the man cut his hair short back in April and then changing to "it's the guy walking behind JM", two people, apart, with zero interaction between them, would kind of raise a red flag. That maybe, just maybe, this whole JM went with Lee Saeon is a load of bull.

A little doubt is always a good thing to have. Not just exclusively when it comes to JK and JM, their whereabouts and them being together at the same destination to which they travelled within 24 hours of each other after being inseparable for the past 18 months, including during their time off and their leaves.

The constant need to repeat "but we don't know if they are together" all while screaming "JM is with Lee Saeon" ever so confidently astounds me.

Why is it, prey tell me?

[dgtn]

I wonder who he learned it from 😏

Jikook 💜💛🏳️‍🌈

[dgtn]

This…

Hey love.

Miss those two to bits. 😭😭

I 100% agree with you.

Back in my early blogging days I used to be the same. I used to argue, try to disprove. At times I would reply to these asks out of anger or frustration.

But as time passed I not only grew up, realising that answering these people, reacting to them does nothing but play into their game. There is no convincing them. There is nothing I say or show that will change their mind. And posting their asks, which would mostly be sent anonymously and to multiple Jikook accounts at once, only gives them a platform in our safe Jikook spaces.

Doesn't mean that as Jikookers we shouldn't fight the toxic environment on SM. Not by reposting this shit, but by reporting it and blocking it. Not giving them the traction they are seeking. Report to X and any SM platform they are on posting this, and the really bad ones report to BH as well.

And not allow them to use our platforms, our little spaces that are meant for loving and supporting JK and JM as a message board for their toxic beliefs.

Thank you for your love and support.

💜💜

[dgtn]

Sooo excited for these 2 men in the next chapter of their lives

Jikook … 💜💛🏳️‍🌈

I don't know about ya'll, but I'm finding it hard to fathom that Jimin and Jungkook will be living in separate locations, post June 12.

There. I said it.

Just think about it. They have spent every day in the military sharing their living space, sleeping space, showering "space", eating, hanging out, working out, etc., etc., etc..... There is no freaking way that they are going to settle back into separate homes, after this. There's just no way.

Yeah. This is my hill. I'm standing on it, and not gonna budge.

Anyone wanna join me here? There's lots of room.

[dgtn]

And just in case you didn’t hear me…

Just when I think I can’t adore them anymore they go and do something like this. I’m waiting for the day they start signing their names as The Park-Jeons

Jikook 💜💛🏳️‍🌈

Chapter 3 in the making

Traveling together to "film a show" was big (yes, this was to film a show, but we all know it was mainly to spend much needed time together, and if we didn't, let's be honest that we did, but if we didn't, then JK literally confirmed this for us in episode 1 of AYS). But back in 2023 when a public Jikook was a scarcity, left us with more question marks than anything else as to how this will actually be coming to fruition.

Enlisting together was HUGE. Like H U G E. Them being the only ones to do so not only within BTS but the first and only idols to do so. A choice made by the two of them. To do this together. With each other. Not with anyone else.

Are You Sure?! Do we need any words here? Like really? Because AYS was as loud as F$@&. No, seriously, idk what you want to call it, a soft launch, a smack in the noggin, whatever you do, it was quite clear to those who have eyes and a brain. With or without knowing who JM and JK are, their history, their culture. Louder to those who do know them.

Since their enlistment and even through Muse and AYS we got practically nothing from the two. Oh, we did have a couple of interesting pics from their basic training and graduation, a few pics from the unit, a shit ton of signatures, some more interesting than others (joint messages, pretty decorations...) and a few nice messages, but mostly silence from the two. This stood out even more so in comparison to the almost barrage we've been getting from NJ and Tae, both enlisted only a day before Jikook.

And then came December. With less than 6 months to go.

JK going live from his new place. Dare I say their new place? It's not like we haven't talked about this over the past 18 months. Speculating, wondering. But man (figure of speech y'all), these last couple of months, they are sure making me feel like what we saw as leaning to the delusional side or more so wishful thinking, ain't no delusion or wish, but more so a very possible reality to come.

But let's get back on track.

So, December gave us:

"We spend our free time together", "we sing together", "we sing while we shower daily together", not to mention JK's btw remark about seeking privacy away from others "to sing".

Then came JM in January with their "conversations before going bed" about "what kind of image we want to show" and "what kind of lives we will live moving forward".

And February rolls in and we think that we will be back to their silent treatment, but JK comes to us with a heartfelt message (they really feel the end and want out). But nothing prepared us for Hobi's birthday live and once again those two with their "we share a room" and "we have stories to tell, but not sure how much we actually can..." that won't scare us off, lol.

Funny how every single hysterical claim made by those who were hit so very hard by their joint enlistment has been shut down by the two of them by now!!

Anyway, do we see a pattern here? Can we call this a pattern? Is there more to come? Well, obviously there is post military service, but seeing as to how they have been in the past couple of months, I'm thinking that we will be getting more even before that.

I'm guessing that conclusion isn't a far fetched one, seeing what we got last night.

And OMG, that was another HUGE loud af Jikook statement.

Ribbon on right: "I love you 🖤"

Ribbon on left: "BTS Park Jimin and Jeon Jungkook".

Yes, a statement.

I stand by that.

Because even if you don't think it's anymore than a cute thing, just another thing that Jikook do together, then you are not seeing the cultural context here.

So, several content producers/directors that were Hybe employees (directors of I am still, AYS and JM's production diary amongst others) have left the company to open their own company (Idk too much about the company they opened, but my guess is that they will continue working with Hybe as contractors rather than employees, but also allowing them to work with other companies and create their own content, including producing a new boy band). And they posted the congratulation they have received.

From Hobi.

Hoshi and Woonhoo of Seventeen.

Each sending a separate wreath.

Zico

And there are wreaths they received from more than one sender. Joint wreaths. But this was from companies (joint ceos), or business partners. Not two separate idols or people.

Now, if you don't see what's huge here, let me show you the K side of this to maybe get some perspective (although, let's be honest, you don't need to be on the K side to see this is a couple thing).

Yes, I wonder the same thing!!!

There is more.

So much more.

The K side of things is literally going mad. Good mad.

And there is a reason they are.

This is most definitley not something friends, as close as they might be, would do. Not friends, not multimillionaire friends. They most definitley can afford two wreaths. And that's one of the points here.

Once again.

This was a choice.

Not to send separate congratulative wreaths. They sure can afford to do so. Even if they aren't on vacation at the moment and are in the base. Seriously, two young men closing in on their 30s, independently financially sufficient and so much more.

Yeah, this most definitley was a statement.

And the frenzy K Jikookers are in at this very moment is well enough proof to that.

Btw, haven't been to the dark side, don't know just how crazy and rabid the cult and antiis are going, but my guess would be...

Anyways, sitting here smile plastered on my face, I'm kind of starting to think, that this is maybe, just maybe, going to become our new normal. Jikook doing couplie things, openly, proudly, unapologetically.

And if this is them even before they are discharged...

What a great time this is going to be.

[dgtn]

OMG………that’s all I can say

I love these 2 SO much

Jikook … 💜💛🏳️‍🌈

Mind blown

Well not really though?

Thank you @sipowel for bringing this to my attention!!!

I didn't notice this.

I will explain.

I'm blown because this is the first I've seen this.

Not blown because this is how they roll.

They are a couple.

They do show us stuff, they hint to us, they stretch the boundaries, but they are still a closeted queer couple.

A closeted queer couple that are shooting a travel show and have cameras on them for hours on end.

A closeted queer couple that are used to having cameras on them for hours on end and had to find a way to communicate with each other, express their feelings when they feel the need to do so, but can't do it openly and freely.

Sometimes they will do so openly and bravely.

Always with the protection and cover of the group context.

But when they don't have that cover, that comfort of a concert or group context, that's when we get this.

And that is also when you KNOW this is the real deal.

This isn't for show.

This isn't fanservice (you know, that oh so popular word tossed around when it comes to those two - and this most definitley is not me saying that those loud moments are fanservice either, only that when it comes to these small hidden moments the claim can't even be made).

This is them communicating with each other.

This is JK signing to JM that he loves him, trying to do so in the best discreet way he can in that moment, trying not to be caught on camera doing so.

This is for JK and JM, not for us.

Like this one.

Or this one.

This is LOVE.

[dgtn]

I find myself thinking about them a lot more now too. When we were knee deep into MS I tried my best not to think about them all the time because I knew there was such a long long way to go. And it made me sad to think about how much time they still had. But now as their discharge date is getting closer every day, I can’t help but think about them !!! I think that’s part of what is making it feel like time has slowed down 😭. I am so so excited to see them again and to know that they are getting back to doing what they love 💜. And just like @kanmom51 I am looking forward to seeing them just live their lives the way they want to. Whatever will make them happy is what I want for them … these 2 men deserve all the happiness that they have given us over the years to come back to them 100 times more.

Now we just need to figure out how to make these last few months go by as fast as they can … 🥰

Jikook … 💜💛🏳️‍🌈

4 months to go...

Someone clearly has JM etched on their hand and on the brain.

Miss those two so damn much.

Funny how as time is closing and discharge from military etching closer I feel like it's moving so much slower than the first 14 months did. Is it only me that feels that?

But time is nearing, nevertheless, and as it is, I can't help but think what comes next. What is the day after going to look like?

Obviously, I'm not the only one thinking of that.

The two of them are clearly contemplating the day after as well.

We don't know what their hopes and wishes are for that post military future is, but I can tell you what mine are.

My hope for post military is that they will continue to be as openly inseparable as they have been going into the army and spending those 18 months of their service together.

I know they are together and their relationship is as strong as ever. With as little as we've been getting from them in the past 14 months of their service, they have shown us that ever so loud and clear.

I want them to be able to continue and be open about it.

I want us not to go back to the reality of 2023. A reality in which we KNOW they were spending their time together, but we weren't supposed to know it. A reality in which they gave us crumbs and clues and puzzles to solve but couldn't be loud and clear like this:

or this:

I do feel like there has definitley been a shift since their joint enlistment.

Obviously, them enlisting together was a HUGE part of it.

AYS and everything we were allowed to see in that show (and everything we know we weren't allowed to see as well) was just as HUGE.

But it doesn't end with that.

14 months of service and we barely got anything from them. But when we did, even more so in the last few months, it always contains a clear message of their "togetherness", take it in anyway that you will (they spend free time together, sing together, exercise together, shower together, have heart to heart conversations with each other before going to sleep - together - might not have been said but clearly implied).

To little ole' me this is not a coincidence. This is a clear pattern. A plan in place, one may think or conclude.

So yes, my hope is that when we reach the end of these 18 months we will be walking into a new reality. One in which they don't necessarily 'come out' officially (I think that is asking too much of them, and it would be a huge decision for them to make - together - one that will obviously impact not only them, but the whole of BTS), but do not shy away publicly from just how close and co-dependent they are of each other. A reality in which, dare I say, it's an obvious natural progression for them to continue to live together as "roommates" (in JK's huge mansion, of course) because "they got used to living together while in service". One in which being seen together in public isn't a big deal, it's a norm. One in which neither of them has to cower away or freeze or double take when they are caught on camera together (JK's deer caught in the headlights looks at the camera in mind). One in which when they aren't together them mentioning of the other isn't an "oh" or "ah" moment, but a natural "not a biggie" thing, because that's just something they obviously do. One in which ot7 army who love to ignore just how close those two are (because they are too close and too suspicious and acknowledging that means acknowledging there is more there and that Jikookers aren't delusional shippers that are fantasizing or fetishizing those two, but clearly seeing what they have been purposefully ignoring) cannot continue to ignore any longer.

And I wouldn't have wished for all of the above if I didn't think that was something they wanted.

Because most of all I want one thing.

Most of all I want them to be happy!!

[dgtn]

If you know you know…I just adore these 2

Jikook … 💜💛🏳️‍🌈

Jack Skellington is back y'all

JK and JM are back.

Another soldier discharged from their unit, another set of signature.

But this one is so special.

Reading their messages, especially JK"s, i wonder if this is another cook being discharged. One thing for sure is that you see how no matter what the task in the unit is, when it's as small as a unit as theirs is, everyone is close.

As for the guitar case, this was clearly a two man job.

The intricate work on it.

JK's hearts surrounding them too.

Oh, and there are 13 of them.

Yes, you read it right.

13 hearts.

I can't with those two.

And I love love love how JM is back with his Jack Skellington signature!!

And if you are unaware of Jikook's love for A night before Christmas and Jack Skellington:

Love our black and white couple with their A night before Christmas and decorated with black and white hearts beautiful art work!!

Ooh, and look at that:

123 days to go!!!

Now, that's a coincidence. 😅

[dgtn]

Exactly…

Jikook … 💜💛🏳️‍🌈

We didn’t talk enough about why  Jungkook displayed his hand tattoo the way he did in the 2021 Vogue Magazine spread. This and his comment about living his life on his own terms spoke to me. 

[dgtn]

To my dear friend @kanmom51 … this is such a beautiful edit to a beautiful song. Their love is something to be celebrated…and now I have another song to add to my jikook play list 💜

Thank you …

Jikook 💜💛🏳️‍🌈

When JK looks at JM

It's like JM is his inspiration.

It's like JM hung the stars for him.

It's like JM is the only person in his world.

It's like JM is the most beautiful person he knows.

It's like JM is the cutest thing he's ever seen.

It's like JM is a 5 Michelin star meal made just for him.

it's like for him when JM is there, there is no other.

JK looks at JM like he is the centre of his world, the person he love more than any other, the love of his life...

Like JM is HIS one and only.

*P.S. - thanks and credit to all those creators who'd clips were used to make my first Jikook song edit.

[dgtn]

Oh to be a fly on the wall when Jimin was carefully “crafting” his name on JK’s chest…that man seriously has an OBSESSION with his chestie besties and I don’t blame him one bit 😏. I wonder how many times he said “oh darn it’s not perfect…I have to wipe it off and start again…” 😏.

And let’s all just imagine for a moment what it was like for Tae to witness all of this go down…

Jikook 💜💛🏳️‍🌈

JM and JK shower together

FACT!!

Be honest now. We thought it, we assumed it, and now we are getting confirmation.

And yes, this is within military settings, but you need to be really naïve or daft to think that this is happening only because of the military setting or only since they enlisted.

I will explain this once, because people seem to hang on to the "they have to shower together in the military" and "these are communal showers and they shower with others as well".

NOPE.

What might have been true for basic training, the whole designated shower times and showering together (for soldiers as a whole, not JM and JK, because they did not shower with others from the start, I've talked about this in previous posts), is not true once they are assigned to their units. At that point soldiers can shower at their own free will and time, before or after duties. Depending on the barracks there will also be a difference of how these showers look - you could have a bathroom for every room of 4 (this would be in newer quarters) or multiple stall showers for barracks with bigger rooms that hold multiple soldiers. JK and JM have different duties within their unit. Different timetables. And yet they choose to wait for each other and shower together.

They don't have to!!

They choose to!!

In any case, point being that JK and JM CHOOSE (once again that word) to shower together.

Just the two of them!!!

But then, they have always been showering together.

I mean, they've been doing it for years.

And I'm not talking about the early days when the lot of them may have had to shower together. No. I'm talking about when they are 2 grown ass men, including when they are no longer living in the dorms (which would be for at least 4 years now).

We might have only guessed or assumed it in the past though. You know, because of us believing they are a couple, their shared accommodations and the crumbs they have left for us, like the good Hansel and Gretel that they are.

What am I talking about, you may ask?

Well, here are a few examples...

I guess I'll start with Jikook in Malta.

Hobi's surprise visit to JK's room.

Finding a wet haired JK in his pj's, telling us he just came out of the shower. Ignoring a wet haired JM also in the same room. Clearly having showered shortly therefor.

Not cutting proof, I know, but definitely eyebrow raising suspicious.

JM telling us JK's shower lengths

Current shower lengths.

JM knowing this. The others not (if the "they live together in the dorms" excuse is sounded).

Then we had Run BTS episodes 131-132.

I will let JK speak for himself.

Next we have JK's live 27 July 2023.

That was a doozy, wasn't it?😂😂

That was smoking

the flirting

the posturing.

This one was over the roof loud, and because of that maybe one of the loudest moments just flew over some people's heads...

What is he saying?

He'll grab his toiletries and go over to do the live? Shower at JM's before? Shower at his after? Do the live, shower and sleep over? Whichever of these you go with it's god damn fucking loud.

The ease in which JK just says it too. It's just something he's used to do. Go wash up at JM's. Because what? The shower in his luxurious unit in Brunnen doesn't work? The man lives a few minutes away from JM and yet he needs to pop over to his to shower?

I ask you this: do you think JK is going to JM's to shower alone? Something he can clearly do at home?

And JM? I didn't hear a no to the "I'll come over and shower at yours". Just a not now to the live. So...

Ays jeju shower

🐰We might feel differently after a shower.

🐰This might be because we just swam.

🐥ppeuriri~

This time no giggles, just a smile and then a sultry expression walking towards JK.

Cut.

Talk about showering with them off camera.

And lots of shady stuff going on to make us think that maybe, just maybe, those two kind of showered together.

Idk, am I being clear enough?

So, let's talk about that shower for a second.

We see JK going into the bathroom, JM nowhere to be seen.

Obviously he's not showering upstairs with Tae asleep there and both of their suitcases spread out open in front of the downstairs bathroom.

Next we see JM outside of the bathroom brushing his hair dressed after the shower and JK is in the bathroom partially dressed after that shower.

JM walking in behind JK, and yes, it looks like he's lifting his arms to fix his hair, but that cut there again.... I am choosing to believe that he also went in for a hug there. Hill meet Kanmom.

Oh, and hunger issue solved at this point.

Ppeuriri.

So if you're ready (so if you're ready) And if you'll let me (and if you'll let me) I wanna see it in motion, in 3D (uh-uh) You won't regret me (you won't regret me) Champagne confetti (champagne confetti) I wanna see it in motion, in 3D

They said it, not me!!!

Who needs to eat anything when you can get some 3D action instead?

Are you sure Sapporo

JM goes to have a shower, JK following in suit a few minutes later, walking into the bathroom (after that morning wood subsides if only a little, I may add).

JK going to shower with JM or not, they clearly have zero problem with being naked in front of each other, JK not even hesitating to walk in on a showering JM. Friends or not, living together years ago or not, there is this thing called privacy and respecting each other's privacy, oh and boundaries between 2 grown people.

You know who has zero issues with that? Couples!!!

So yeah, we got these hints and crumbs over the years.

But then JK goes and drops this, with that cute ass smirk on his face...

Like it's nothing.

Like there is nothing to it.

Like this won't break the internet, blow our minds to smithereens and break TKKs and solos and haters.

Like not only confirming they shower together (huge within itself), this confirmed what so many were trying to disprove for the past 12 months since they enlisted, and that is that the two are together by choice, have been ever since they enlisted, and choose to spend their spare time together as well. Including in the shower.

But then again...

This REALLY shouldn't have come as such a surprise seeing that JM most definitley had zero problem doing this:

With the gymnastics that it took to perfect writing his name on that chest that clearly belongs to him.

As he's made it clear!!!

And as so proudly JK is showcasing it as well.

This…Maybe some day the fandom will be cured of this…..

Why is it that some of the biggest fujoshis are homophobes?

Sigh. Let me rant for a bit...

I know this is not exactly my "normal" type of content, but if we're being honest, what even is my type of content?

I cannot believe that we are less than six months away from all of the BTS members discharge dates, and we still have solos and delusional toxic shippers denying the fact that Jimin and Jungkook enlisted together. This is no longer an argument of "what ship is real" but now simply a concerning display of absolute insanity at this point.

Jimin and Jungkook could say the sky is blue and these people would scream at them that it's purple. Just because they can.

Is it really that crazy to admit that they went together? That they made the conscious decision to go through the program together? A program of which they have confirmed that they (yes they, as in BOTH Jimin and Jungkook, let me remind you--) used to enlist in both verbal and written forms? If not multiple times?

It doesn't matter if you think they're dating or friends or enemies or whatever. The REALITY is they enlisted together. They're currently together right now. On the same base. In the same unit.

What is so fucking hard to admit about that?

Even among the crowd of people who (bitterly) accept that they went together is a type of discussion I find to be insane as someone who is personally part of the LGBTQIA+ community.

What they talk about is blatant fetishization and internalized homophobia.

The thing is, I don't really care if you think Jikook is dating or not, I'm not saying that they are, and in fact, it's actually not even entirely relevant at this point. But you have certain shippers crashing out in inboxes and on twitter -- NON KOREAN PEOPLE, MIND YOU -- going on and on about how it's impossible that Jimin and Jungkook could be dating AND choose to enlist together.

"The South Korean military criminalizes homosexuality! They can't be gay if they go together! I mean, how can they even have sex! They can't be in a relationship if they can't have sex!"

In my opinion, as a queer person, I think it's incredibly disgusting when certain people chop up queer relationships to nothing but sex.

Like, what the fuck does that even mean?

This type of rhetoric tells me that these people do not view gay relationships as being on par with straight ones. Do you think gay people need a daily sexual encounter to enjoy spending time with their partners? That's really fucking weird. Really, really fucking weird.

This type of mindset is why homophobia is so rampant; homophobes seem to view gay people as being inherently more sexual than them because they can't possibly imagine a scenario where gay people aren't constantly horny or sex starved creatures looking for their next meal.

Surprise, you don't need sex for a relationship to thrive, especially if you're in a environment where it could put you in danger.

Whether you ship the members or not, this type of thinking is harmful to the queer community and also insulting to the many queer soldiers who are forced, and let me repeat that, FORCED to enlist in South Korea with partners waiting for them on the side.

Like god forbid gay men enlist with their partners.

Respectfully and not respectfully -- FUCK. YOU.

I just absolutely adore these two…from their heads to their toes (yes pun intended!!!) 💜💜💜. All the sweet little moments they always have that the camera captures. They’ve been like this for years and it’s one of the many endearing traits of their relationship. Their desire to be next to each other and their need/desire for physical contact. Like @kanmom51 said…it’s just something they do. Another pattern in their relationship…a constant with them that I am so so so very happy gets caught on camera over and over again.

Let's talk about Jikook playing footsies...

Yes, it's a thing.

A thing that they do.

A thing that they have been doing for years.

It's about being naughty...

full video

It's about seeking contact and touch

It's about reaching out, seeking out the other's attention

It's about feeling comfort

This could be unintentional or more so muscle memory. The need to be close, to touch. We've seen this with the two many times. Those two's need to touch. It can be holding or touching hands, it can be standing close to each other a part of them touching or sitting close to each other, at times practically sitting on top of the other.

And for all purposes of this post, it can be with their footsies touching.

And of course, the latest...

Like I said, it's a thing with Jikook.
