Jimin could have chosen to record a dance challenge for Hobi and post it without the intro, the giggles and the hashtags! He could have also used Instagram music.
Instead he chose to play the song from a different source with background noise very clear, have that shaky intro where we can hear JK mumbling “it’s should be a crime just to look that fine!” mind you, totally irrelevant to the challenge, but very relevant to the message being put across.
And then the end where we all clearly hear his man’s giggles!
And if that wasn’t enough, he added the #JK!
Practically leaving no stone unturned.
Very DELIBERATE! Very LOUD! Very PROUD!!!!

Jikookers on Twitter are messing up big time and I just wanna shake them and ask if they can't see they're doing the same thing the taekookers did smh. They're planning on getting an ad done for bts anniversary but the ad only has jungkook and jimin on it. That makes absolutely no sense to me. Why not just put all the guys? It doesn't matter if your bias is jikook. Bts is 7 and I doubt jikook would appreciate just them alone being celebrated on a day that is meant for all 7 of them.
But Twitter jikookers are doubling down just because peoole on Twitter generally always attack them. But the push back is warranted in this case in my opinion.
This isn't like the mural that got done in Busan. I can 100% appreciate the fact that it was a mural to celebrate the two guys who came from that city and are a treasure to the people there.
But this new ad is just not it. Would love to hear your thoughts.
Ahhhh controversy. Love some controversy with my lunch. Anyone else want some Ramen with their drama?? 🙃 I will give my opinions, but not before stating that ANYONE who feels like coming at me for this will be simply be blocked. I won't engage or let it sit around. I like to keep this a somewhat positive space. Here is the ad mentioned in case you haven't seen it yet:

Anon, I see what you are saying, but I sort of disagree. I've seen the fire on Twitter, I'm over there as well. And I think part of the reason jikook supporters are doubling down SO HARD is because the backlash is ALWAYS only for jikook. No other solo or duo project gets pushback except for them. So it makes their supporters defensive and I get that.
When you look at these things you need to understand where they come from. This was paid for by the group "Black N White" which is a Jimin and Jungkook fansite group. This is VERY normal in kpop scenes. It is NOT a shipping group. It means it is a site that is 100% focused on bringing in info, photos, videos, etc of whichever celebrity they focus on. There are fansites specifically for every single BTS member and some random duos. BTS will even recognize certain people from certain fansites and make sure to smile for photos for them, etc. There is a lovely video that circled a while back of Jimin spotting a J-hope fansite at an award show and literally moving out of the way so thay he wouldn't be in the pictures they were trying to take of him and smiling at them.
youtube
Here is a low quality version of that video, but it's what I could find super quick just now. This is all basically just to show that duo and solo fansites are the norm and the members are not offended by or worried about them. Ads taken out from these fansites are ALSO normal and it's done not just for birthdays or solo things but for BTS as a whole. The ONLY time I see this as problematic is if shipping names are included as a major part of the ad or are for shipping purposes. Like the Taekook shipping ad in Times Square thay was last year (i think?). It was taken out to celebrate what their shippers assumed was their personal anniversary? Not sure exactly. This was that ad, I could find it on twitter:
And then we have previous anniversary ads from taekook fansites, like this one that I find problematic. They are using edited photos and this looks very "shippy":

And these ones that are promoting some more couple like shots and have Vkook as one of the main words promoted but ultimately not that bad and I'm pretty that was the name of the fansite for this duo anyway:

And a BTS anniversary ad from a taekook fansite that was not a ship promotion even a little bit:


AND we have some thay are not taekook. We have solo anniversary ads for V and for Jin. I'm sure the rest of the members have some too somewhere, these are just the first ones I could find with a very quick search:



And we have an 8th anniversary celebration ad for YoonJin from their fansite too:

And I bet the only reason a lot of people didn't know about these if because no one in the fandom cared. The TL on Twitter blew up because of jikook, because it always does. Anything involving the 2 of them gets a ton of fandom hate and its very sad. Its an ad for some of the members of BTS from one of their personal fansites. There are TONS of OT7 BTS anniversary ads all over Korea and worldwide as well too.
Honestly I don't see a difference between the Jikook ad and the YoonJin one? Does anyone else? No ship names, it says Happy Anniversary. Says both members names. Has their anniversary date. The members aren't being cuddly or anything, Jikook actually even has a more professional looking photo that is being used. Fansite ads have been happening every single year and for all kinds of different kpop groups. Notice its only the international fans on Twitter having a meltdown over the Jikook ad?
Soooo, my take is that I kinda agree with the Jikookers on Twitter and that this is ridiculous and the only reason it's a problem is because its Jimin and Jungkook. And that there IS a difference between a shipping ad for Taekook with what their shippers think is their personal anniversary "dating" date and a fansite ad for a bts duo on the groups anniversary. Jimim and Jungkook literally basically can have nothing without people screaming about the rest of the members or telling people not to ship. Its a fansite ad, not a relationship proclamation trying to overshadow BTS debut anniversary.
Anywho.... 8 years with BTS. SIGH! I am so proud of them! I can't wait to see what else Festa brings us. The Dynamite choreo and Festa 4 cut pictures were adorable! Hope everyone has a good rest of their day!

Just know, whatever jikook are up to, wherever they are, they are there because of their own free will.
If it's another season of AYS?! then that means they're building dream upon dream trips. Feeling the best when they're together, no matter where.
If it's music they're pursuing, we'll then it's about time 😌 we've been looking forward to a unit song for ages. This is the least likely option tho', but you never know. When inspiration strikes, when a shared feeling can be translated into quickly jotted down sentences..turning into lyrics. If a melody that rides on the breeze catches an expert ear and gets memorized, magic happens.
If it's a GCF then I hope it's by JK'S expert hands. Whenever his focus is channeled into authentic work, we are the better for it.
If it's a romantic getaway, feeding ducks or visiting pretty sites, well.... then I'll just excuse myself and scream into my chimmy plushie. Poor thing, they have seen and heard some things.
Just know that my heart that thinks of jikook beats loudly for them. For their newfound ability to take control of their day-to-day. That's all that matters in the end.

Jikook Week 28 Complete ✔️(18/06 - 25/06/2024)
Their twenty eighth week in the military is now complete and time to celebrate this milestone with a look back at this week in 2020. This really was a jikook extravaganza week. I've never seen so many classic jikook moments all fitted in one week before.
BTS were in the lead up to the release of Map of the Soul 7 The Journey on the 14th July 2020. This was their fourth full length album in Japanese and their eighth studio album overall.

This week a series of photos to accompany the release including these two stunning pictures of Jimin and JK.


Stay Gold was released on 19/06 and this live version on the 22/06.
youtube
Also this week, BTS Music Journey Part 1 and Part 2 were released with them talking about their seven years since debut. When asked to say something about Jimin, Jungkook had the following response.
JK: "Jimin-ssi ...... are words necessary" JM: Yes, words are necessary"
JK: "I'm always watching you Jimin-ssi" JM: "I'll work harder"
The interaction itself and Namjoon's reactions in the background send me every time.
Twix Link
Finally on 21/06, it was the jikook - we are gimbap chefs live parts 1 and 2 and afterwards Jimin posted this photo on TwiX. It was the epitome of domesticity and ease and reflected how comfortable they are with each other. Part 1 was the dry run and Part 2 was when they put what they had learned in Part 1 into practice.
In Part 1, they laid out ingredients including Perilla leaves - yep the same Perilla leaves that caused a heated debate in the MBTI episode.
They fielded marriage proposals from ARMY which led Jungkook to swiftly change the subject. Egg gimbap anyone.
Then they got on with the serious business of cooking complete with dramatic soundtrack and sesame oil mishaps.
JK was teasing Jimin and dropping honorifics left, right, and centre...
..and couldn't contain his laughter at Jimin's gimbap slicing.
Not totally satisfied with their initial efforts they launched into Part 2 which went very well indeed.




Cr. to OP

So great to watch that again.

I just believe that casual and soft touching is the most pure, felt and warm form of love language to ever exist. Nothing new between Jikook - very obvious since the very start and in their last live with Taejoon before the enlistment, after Sapporo, too.
But still it amazes me every time… what do you mean Jimin was just casually talking about Festa but Jungkook looks at him and feels the need to caress his head and KEEP doing that till Jimin’s body relaxes?
Thank you @/chimpumdal for the translation❤️that’s so considerate. Here’s the link if anyone wants to watch it. I’m honestly shocked by the amount of times they complete each other’s sentences and just properly communicate through eyes and silences.

What’s all the excitement in the Jikook tag about? Please help a non-TwiX user understand 🧎♀️➡️🙏
Oh, hiiii
It's a picture of JM and JK together somewhere, they say, an airport. I saw a drawing of it, and it's honestly so funny 😂😂
The excitement is because the picture implies they went to the U.S. together.
Well... they've been together all this time, so this is just the icing on the cake with an extra large cake topper with both of your initials on it. Like a wedding cake, lmao
I still say Hobi gifted them this Dadaism cake.
Seriously, what was the idea behind this wonderful monstrosity? It's like a child's drawing of a cake came to life.
Beautiful. Horrible? Delicious.

I'm currently on hour 3 of watching their discharge live (which in reality only lasts an hour), but I keep replaying little bits of it. Like when they do saatoori as they are scolding each other. It reminded me of when they were bickering over spam vs. sausage during AYS?! They used the same tone, intonation, the pouty beaks, and veiled aggression.
They say, 'shall I reveal the real you?' shall I tell them how you really are? in such a teasing tone and it's such an interesting peek at their 'real face'. During the live, they say 'we're rough', 'out of practice', so they're having trouble putting on their celebrity face: polite and easily digestible for audience.
They're basically admitting to being much rougher and admit to having fewer boundaries when they're in private.
Their restraint, keeping 'It' in during lives/in public, should be studied. Real diplomats. They can show you one thing and be totally loose and relaxed in private. That's honestly why I believe their privacy is of the utmost importance. How exhausting to constantly have to put on a face, to feel inadequate because you can't be yourself entirely. For them to have those pockets of freedom, should be of all our concern.
I love seeing those real faces 🥺 like I'm genuinely honored to witness that. 💗
Ooof.. this little detail kind of broke me.
Yes, It's slo-mo, and jikook do not need slow-motion, BUT I felt that little extra squeeze needs its moment in the sun. To take center stage. That squeeze is just for them. Jimin thanking Jungkook for the compliment he gave him regarding his performance. Jungkook called him an 'Ace', and we know how Jimin thrives on Jungkook honest compliments. It's like that line from Pride and Prejudice.
"But your good opinion is rarely bestowed and therefore more worth the earning."
Jungkook is a 'I might not talk a lot, but when I do, it's from the heart' kinda dude.
So, whomever initiated it, that handshake squeeze, is a little extra reassurance and, more importantly, a silent and 'easily digestible for audience' moment of connection.
For jikook, the handshake = kiss
💜
