That story about Jungkook lying on him at night just proves they’re not together — I mean, if they were actually dating, it wouldn’t be anything worth mentioning, right?

People see what they want to see so if they’re already convinced that they are romantically involved then that story is just going to reinforce it. But I agree with you—sure, you can put it down to the military context or whatever but the way he was telling the story, it was not something that was normal to him, the way it would be if they really were involved as it is assumed. But, this just reminded me of another moment, I can’t remember what it’s from but they were talking about their sleeping routines/schedules, and Jimin was saying that he goes to sleep in the early hours of the morning and JK was saying that he goes to sleep at midnight or something…and neither of them seemed to know this about the other. So if they are really living in each other’s pockets then why is their most basic domestic habits a mystery to one another? I think their big moments are hyper focused on but it’s all of the small stuff that if you pay attention to, you will see: they are not involved.

I think one part of it is them not wanting to actually make jk take accountability. The amount of jikookers who have straight up downplayed the issue is disgusting, like I saw one going on some coke rant about its not fair to expect jk to know about american politics. BABY THE PHRASE HAS BEEN CO-OPED ALL OVER THE WORLD BY FAR RIGHT POLITICIANS INCLUDING IN JAPAN WHERE THEY ARE ANTI-KOREAN YOU STUPID F*CK! JK himself even admitted he messed up, he apologized, why tf are you acting like this isn't an issue when he admitted it was???! For Japanese, korean, and american fans, this was a very serious f*cking issue and yet they like act like poor wittle jk did nothing wrong and poor guy can't catch a break. As if their behavior wasn't delusional enough, they're reaction to this has been abhorrent.

I also think another part of it for jikookers is that it bothers them to think jk was sitting there apologizing over a major f*ck up, all the while jm was enjoying the group's anniversary, drinking and getting sentimental with another member, and then happily posting his love for the fans. If jk was sad, the want jm to be sad with him to make their relationship make sense. The relationship also starts to look lopsided if you don't drag jm down too because in the same night we see an example of his overwhelming thoughtfulness, while seeing an example of the other ones absolute carelessness. Rather than wanting jk to rise to meet jm at his level which would require them to actually acknowledge jk's behavior and want accountability, they want to drag jm down so that they're a better match.

🎯🎯🎯

Scrolling twt when the whole thing was happening felt like I was being gaslighted by the masses. It wasn’t just jkkrs absolving him of responsibility, but essentially the entire fandom. There were about 5 hashtags trending in support of him, you’d think he was facing criminal charges and being put on trial—not just receiving what was actually very very mild public criticism.

[lumirimay]

not jk's own tattoo artist lecturing him on being more thoughtful 😂

Very very poor impulse control.

While I agree Jimin has apologized on Jk's behalf several times and said he's sorry for his actions, which could be because he doesn't wanna see Jk dragged or maybe as the oldest he senses a sense of responsibility or just simply being as close to Jk as he is, he wants to have his back & does come to his recuse a lot. So I can honestly see Jimin indirectly saying sorry too for what Jk did, esp if he felt a little bit embarrassment himself. But to say Jimin bought it, is throwing responsibility off JK, when he is the one who wore it in public. Its all him no matter where he got it from. But again, he's been babied and coddled so much by everyone around him, he knows he can get away with anything.

Wait, could you remind me of the instances where jimin has apologised on his behalf? Nothing is coming to mind for me. 

I don’t see why he would feel embarrassed for something that had nothing to do with him. He’s not the one that doesn’t know his countries socio-political history…also, I just despise this narrative bc everything that’s about Jimin always comes to be about jk…it’s very frustrating. Jimin was so confident at hobi’s show, he was dancing, singing, and having a great time. Then he seemingly went out drinking with joon afterwards, and then he was tipsy and being sentimental on weverse, and once again reminding the very fans who spend all their miserable time hating him—and making up stupid jokes, and theories about his insecurities—that he loves them. None of that has anything to do with jk. He didn’t write his post to cover up for jk or soften the blow, or whatever conspiracy theory jkkrs are coming up with. 

I suppose it’s always been easier to blame his actions on absolutely everybody else, mostly jimin, than face the fact that he messes up all on his own. No, Jimin didn’t gift him the hat, there’s no proof whatsoever that he did. They were not together on that Japan trip, again, there’s no proof that they were.

The other thing is that all this time jkkrs have boasted about how they’re better than tkkrs bc they don’t have to resort to conspiracy theories since they have actual content that jikook like each other, hang out, etc. But now, they are becoming the very thing they claim to be different from. And it is all at the expense of Jimin.

not only are they a tkkr they're also a jm anti. hating on him on their priv while pretending to be ot7. you might want to delete the link you shared.

Deleted. and reported them. Thank you for telling me. I'll check next time before linking any translations.

[lumirimay]

not the koovarbie link......

I just went back on twt in may so I can keep up with jm now he’s back so you’ll have to forgive me for not being well versed yet on everyone that is problematic on there. But what is it about this acc in particular?

what the actual fuck.....

save jimin from these freaks who try to drag him into the other guys messes and all because he wrote us sweet little tipsy messages

I never had a problem with jkk, but I despise these shippers. Can't they just accept that their fave can fuck up all on his own???

I already replied under their post calling them out and they blocked me. They always absolve themselves of any criticism by saying that jkk have already given them heaps of evidence that they’re in a romantic relationship so they aren’t delusional or wrong for believing in the ‘reality.’

But the mental gymnastics going on in that thread to excuse away jk lacking critical awareness is crazy. I guess they also expect jimin to spoon feed him all the historical and latest politics of world and his own country, bc all he is jk’s full time babysitter.

[lumirimay]

I was really curious—why didn’t the other members come on stage during the concert? Honestly, I expected the big-name streaming powerhouses—the ones who dominate Billboard—to show up for their passionate fans.. I wanted jimin to perform too

Both Jk and Jin asked him to perform, which seems to be to promote themselves—jin’s latest album, and going on a tour, and Jk’s solo tour is the biggest open secret rn. Since they asked, I guess he wasn’t going to say no..I also very naively thought that Jimin was going to perform on day 2 but then when he was drunk posting on weverse at like 5am, I thought yh definitely not lol

[lumirimay]

There are plenty of things PJM's can dislike about Jk for, but dragging him for his inability to perform stressful tasks in a military he didn't want to be at, when he said he has a hard time concentrating and focusing, is disgusting. I get they think its defending Jimin, paying back insults with insults, but you can correct information without dragging someone who means the world to Jimin who he just spent 18 months with. JK has trash fans and that reflects on him. I don't want the same for Jimin. If Jimin didn't wear his badges, its clear Jk means more to him. Jimin is an angel, but even his fans can be nasty. I'm Jimin biased, but I'm not about to drag another member for the sake of dragging. If its warranted by their own actions, then I will.

Many pjms on Twitter behave just as childishly and uncritically as the jjks and kths. At the end of the day, it’s still stan twt, and most people on there are interested in rage baiting. That said, I won’t pretend I’m not thrilled to see the tide finally turning in Jimin’s favour, and the false narratives this fandom has built about him and jk as people starting to unravel.

For years, the fandom, and BH, has placed jk on a pedestal, inflating his strengths while diminishing Jimin’s—exaggerating Jimin’s insecurities, downplaying his talents, and overlooking his qualities and skills. The truth is, Jungkook excels at something very specific: he’s a skilled vocalist and performer. Beyond that, he’s fairly ordinary, and that’s not an insult bc no one can be exceptional at everything.

The issue isn’t that he struggled in the military, so did Joon. It’s the military, not a parade. The real problem is the myth his stans (and BH) built over the years: that he always excels at everything, and that he’s a once-in-a-generation genius in all things. That illusion was never sustainable. And by creating it, they set him up to fall short of the impossible standard they themselves fabricated.

can you please translate the Twitter posts on your latest post? Translation isn't working.

This is the only post I could find with a translation: https://x.com/1013toJIMIN/status/1934055627774640402

But, based on the twt translations, OP is replying to that jk akgae who was spreading misinformation about jm supposedly buying his way into ranks. They’re saying now that they’ve been discharged and Jimin posted all of his achievements, it’s clear who was exceptional and excelling in there: Jimin. He was named top trainee, elite warrior, net forces ace. His peers were calling him GOAT. During the training graduation ceremony, apparently this jk akgae was spreading misinformation that it was jk who ranked first among trainees, but it came out that it was actually Jimin. Then bc their lies were revealed, they started saying that jk didnt rank first bc he had hurt his leg or was too sick. OP is saying that jk was actually assigned to 3rd Artillery Battalion but couldn’t adjust so he was relegated to kitchen duty. Then there was a leaked intranet counselling document about jk where he says that he’s grateful he’s not alone and that private park Jimin is with him. Apparently the document was authenticated by the ministry of defence when his fans filed a complaint..

So they’re saying it’s clear now who was the caretaker all along for jk: Jimin. It was jk who needed Jimin to enlist with him, not the other way around. And that all of his Korean fans were terrified on discharge day bc it was going to become apparent that he hadn’t achieved anything in there, and Jimin was going to turn up with all of his badges. But it all worked in their/his favour bc they put on a grand discharge event for him at that place that none of the pjms were informed about, but somehow his Korean fans knew. And jimin didn’t wear his badges to be mindful and not bring comparison between them. But it’s all been revealed now that he got all of those achievements and definitely had badges like all of the other members.

[lumirimay]

so he didn’t wear his badges so it wouldn’t bring comparison between him and the other member???

[lumirimay]

his post yesterday also reminded me of when he said this :( he loves love sm

[lumirimay]

How can one small person be so full of love? Just read translations of his Weverse posts and he’s just the sweetest most introspective person, so thoughtful and kind and full of light. Jimin is really so special.

Every so often, an artist comes along that is not only extraordinary in their artistry, but also an incredibly special and exceptional human being. That is Jimin.

[lumirimay]

The slow-mo jacket unzip, the forced ab flex, the exaggerated hip thrusts, the suggestive facial expressions—it’s a whole lot of effort for something that simply isn’t landing. Not everyone has sex appeal, and there’s no shame in that. Stick to your strengths, babe.

[lumirimay]

Soldiers are thankful for Jimin’s touching words

Jimin’s discharge speech is going viral - this YouTube short has over 1.5 million views!

Thank you to @prodparkjimin on Twitter for pulling some of the heartfelt messages!

would they really crash out tho or just go hard denial mode like they've done with jk's previous girlfriends? bc they always just went "aw, look at the gay baby boy with his female bestie" 😶‍🌫️ it's amazing how they break their backs to bend over backwards and explain everything away for him

They will initially be in hard denial. I don't expect the ship to sink anytime in the near future. As long as there is room for plausible deniability around both of their respective relationships, then there is room to continue believing in the ship, and believing they could be together, romantically. But that's not going to last forever. At some point everyone in bts will age...and won't want to hide their relationships, or sneak around. I already think some of the members won't be doing that anymore. But we'll probably have a few more years of the maknae line sneaking around, and denying things, at least jk certainly will since his whole image is built on being heterosexually available to his fans.

Also, I feel like jimin dating, a woman especially, will be an even bigger shock to them. And will have a bigger impact in terms of sinking the ship, than jk's relationship and dating rumours do. But maybe that's just wishful thinking on my part.

[lumirimay]

Those jkkr blogs on here making Jimin’s letter about jk, bc ofc jimin exists purely to clean up whatever scandal and mess the manchild gets into on a monthly basis. Oh, I can’t wait for the day that a picture of winkook gets leaked and they all start crashing out like tkkrs.
