#Magnate Cafe

Jimin’s father has given fans a way to send their well wishes to Jimin!

What a lovely gesture!

A loving, kind family 🥰

[reflections-in-a-critical-eye]

I wasn't caring about JM-JK merches in MAGNATE until I saw papa Park's billing system. He got chimmies, PTD jimin and a cookie on system where he takes orders. No way someone would leave it there as it's inside the counter. Only explanation is he took some figures from the gifts on the table and decorated there lol. Man picked 5 toys of his son and 1 his son in law's 🤡. They recently decorated it with Christmas hangings and cookie is still there ☝🤓

Hmm, I wonder if Jimin's dad has a favorite, apart from his son(s). Could it be Jungkook? 🤭

Anon, I was so surprised to see how that Christmas tree was decorated. It's very intentional. It's cute and eyebrow raising at the same time. Chimmy and Cookie come in pair, just like their real life counterparts.

Bangtan weekly report...

I wanted to do a Bangtan weekly report. Since January 15. But between real life and complete disinterest over what's been on the timeline I just haven't had the time or desire.

But, nevertheless, we press on.

I love IU's song and the MV starring Tae. He did really good. I've watched all the behind the scenes, hers and his.

The account on Instagram called @ rpwprpwprpwp (how do you pronounce that rr-pwip rr-pwip rr-pwip?) keeps posting images of Namjoon and now there are theories that the images are representative of each song from his next album. We wait(TM).

Everyday, hoping Namjoon and Tae are doing well in their assigned posts.

And hoping Jimin and Jungkook are doing all right. Thanking the universe everyday that they have each other to fall back on. I wonder if Jimin's love for snow will somewhat be tempered a little after this winter and next...

The Standing Next to You Usher remix behind the scenes videos were fun. I'm glad JK had the opportunity to work with Usher. I know the experience meant a lot to him. I miss his lip rings. He told Polyc he'd be considering a new tattoo when he was discharged. Can't wait...

I hope Yoongi is doing something he can at least consider is worthwhile. Just a tiny hint of what he's doing would be awesome but I understand if we never get that until he's discharged.

Excitedly anticipating Jin's discharge, as well as Hobi's. Jin's message yesterday was nice and now that we're about 4 months away from his discharge, I think about what might have been going through his mind at the time he recorded these messages. Hobi just graduated another bunch of new soldiers and will get some time off. Maybe we'll see him out and about on his Instagram this week.

For now, laying here, no thoughts/head empty.

Any rational reason for Jimin's dad having cooky toy along with JM and Chimmy on his billing system?

Because he is showing his son in law support from his family? Lol duh

Honestly, no jokes and being more rational. All those little figures, it's VERY possible that fans gave them to him/the Cafe when they stop by. So he just displayed the toys he was given and not that he went and picked out a small Jimin, a cooky and 3 Chimmys for his register lol

But unless someone asks where they came from, we may never know! So 🤷🏻‍♀️

zm-illennial.com is live!

For international ARMYs who want to order merch, Jimin's Dad now has a website! Yay!

It's got the stuff that we all have seen on his IG pages for the cafe's. They must have gotten a ton of requests to set up an online store for ARMYs who don't live there in SK or in Japan where the cafe's are located.

MAGNATE (zm-illennial.com)

It looks like the pricing is actually reasonable. I'm sure the international shipping will be a lot, but still...

I've sworn off merch until 2025, but I might make an exception at some point. 😇😁

[solarwynd]

It's a comfort for other solos to believe that all of Jimin's fans are bots as if we didnt regularly see the huge crowds he drew when he was at Paris fashion week or Tiffany ny or at various airports. Or acting like him posting random things like a pic in a japanese restaurant didn't inspire a trend of people posting in the same pose at the same table or that the places he visited in Jeju didn't become part of a small ritual for armys who visited the island.

Also online armys might be taekookers and hidden ot6 yet offline you'll see his dad's cafe become a required visit if you're an army in busan and we saw the crowd there when BTS had their Busan concert. Also every member has fan clubs who do special projects during birthdays and I've seen some very expensive ones put out by Jin and V solos or cafe events like for other members but I don't think I've every seen a members birthday become a month long celebration in Korea ever like it is for Jimtober nor have I ever heard of possible crowd control measures being discussed because of the crowds at magnate during his birthday.

Antis have to keep chanting threemin otherwise it's embarrassing to realise that most of the replayed parts in BTS videos were Jimin's parts or that he started the trend of most viewed fancams. And in these situations we saw that after making concentrated efforts, other members numbers started goibg higher. And yet Jimin's the one with bot allegations when he's the one always starting trends like these organically and other members tend to go higher when their fans start doing whatever they're doing because they're mad at seeing Jimin on top.

Also regarding Thai streams, there's a reason we look upon it with suspicion. Love to all the Thai pjms streaming but the numbers from that country are weird as hell with the huge debut numbers or sudden 500k increases and decreases that can happen from there if it's a members songs anniversary. I dislike how Indian armys are so clearly biased towards only two members of their favourite ship but atleast those numbers are consistent just like the US numbers are consistent for Jimin. The majority of your streams coming from certain countries like the US isn't weird when they're well known as major music markets. Antis trying to equate Thai streams and US streams doesn't make sense for that reason.

Anyways my point is Jimin is everywhere in real life. Beyond followers, he's always in the zeitgeist whether it be in Hollywood movies or having things specifically named after him like the Jimin effect, or having hit tweets from actual locals (and not just armys masquerading as them), or having his merch constantly sold out.

Tae might be more popular among kpop stans and as of this moment, JK might have more name id globally than the other members but acting like Jimin is always behind them in terms of popularity only works if your criteria is very narrow - as in let's ignore how well his music sells and charts, or how often he's name-dropped specifically by other celebs or publications (NYT mentioning him for their year end events for ex) but according to other solos let's only focus on social media followers and Tiktok edits. To me that doesn't make sense - if Jennie from BP has more followers, Tiktok edits and live viewers than Olivia Rodrigo, will that make her music more popular than Olivia? Those things aren't nothing but stans also completely overestimate how much they matter as well

Spotted at Magnate, Jimin’s Dad’s cafe:

Jimin’s dad is so loving and supportive 😍

[reflections-in-a-critical-eye]

What are your thoughts on jimin dad’s debacle? If you have any that is.

Yeah, I do have some thoughts. I assume you mean what has been going on at Magnate, right? I've been observing what has been happening for the past few days and all the opinions surrounding it.

Given the situation and the event that took place, I don't find it surprising that the cafe turned into a tourist attraction. Just as the mural. It was due to circumstances. Not that fans haven't visited Magnate before, but they went there simply as fans/customers and it was a stop in their itinerary. Mostly low-key and people filmed inside, took photos, without any of it being turned into a big deal. But given the current situation, with a large influx of people coming to Busan for a weekend, it was bound to happen. I saw Jimin's dad and other employees being hands on outside, offering water and other refreshments for those who had to stand there for hours. Does it make sense for me why people flocked to a cafe owned by a member's dad? Perhaps not. But I guess they saw it as just a really close connection to Jimin.

What I didn't like and found it odd to say the least, was some of the behavior exhibited there. I can look past going there straight from the airport to stand in line (after getting off a flight, I would head straight to the hotel to settle and freshen up, but that's me), but it turned into a mob which was crazy to see. It was like army were in the presence of the Mesia's father and they had to touch the man himself, as if some of those genes would rub off on them. It reminded me of Life of Brian. The man is not a public figure, he was just there managing his business and running the cafe and I think he did a good job taking care of everyone. It was obvious he was grateful for everyone and happy that all those people were there because of the direct association with Jimin. I would be proud myself if Jimin was my son. I'd gloat to everyone and their mother until they wouldn't stand me anymore.

As to criticisms regarding Jimin's father and Magnate, I can't take them seriously because I know they come from a place of hatred in regard to Jimin, as it's obvious in the way they phrase it. They say the man was profitting off from the Busan event and the fans being there. What was he supposed to do? Close it for the entire duration? When one of the purposes is that tourism can help local businesses as well and how this is a great opportunity? I bet all of Busan's restaurants/cafes gained a lot, but Jimin's father is to blame for doing what any normal owner would do. And there would have been no point in staying hidden and not show his face. He was working and taking orders at Magnate even before this. People knew who he was. I think he handled everything really well. Yeah, I do think it's odd to ask the man to hug the fans or to sign their Jimin photocards, but he did it. Because he knew why all those people were there. The man is proud of his son and he should be. Nothing that he did ever shown any sign that he's taking advantage of anything.

Let's continue to say the numbers don't mean anything or that there isn't a conscious choice made here with these numbers.

~Jikook’s families~

When I think about how supportive and accepting Jungkook and Jimin’s families really are it always gets me emotional. It must part of their destiny.

* This post isn’t about seeking validation from their families, it’s about true genuine support we were able to see.

1. Jungkook’s dad and brother and Jimin’s dad went with them to the airport to send them off to Tokyo in 2017.

2. Jungkook gave Jimin birthday flowers from jm’s dad.

3. Jungkook’s brother used to like jikook fanart on instagram and recently he opened a tag only for 1 jikook fanart.

4. Jimin’s dad used to have jikook photos in his cafe and he still has Jungkook’s cap in Magnate cafe.

5. Jimin’s dad recorded full Euphoria performance and he was smiling while recording it. 🥲

6. Jungkook’s mom said I love you to Jimin immediately when she heard him. 🥲

7. Jungkook’s mom made seaweed soup because it was Jimin’s birthday.

8. Jungkook said Jimin’s mom kimchi is really good.

Unrelated 🫠

9. Jungkook knows the date of Jimin’s grandma birthday.

+ This:

Conclusion: JK’s family love Jimin and JM’s family love Jungkook. 🫶🏽

They are so lucky to have such a loving, truly supportive and accepting families. 💔

Here is a nice ask right back 💜🩷

What culture shock and antics would the 126 get into if they visited Australia?

(I will answer yours later probably when I am not doing what I'm supposed to do on my prep time at work again haha)

thank you so much for the return nice ask! 💕

this is a really fun one, i think they'd be on seperate trips not all at once, so they'd have different culture shocks and experiences. i have deffs overthought all of this, but it was fun. there's some new fic ideas brewing now.

so tk & carlos are on a vacation to celebrate their anniversary, tk has always wanted to see the great barrier reef.

owen is on a vacation because tk raved about the australian beaches so much, mateo tags along with owen.

grace, judd & charlie are in victoria visiting grace's sisters who are in aus for their music and doing a trip along the great ocean road.

tommy and the girls go on a trip to australia zoo because while tommy was sick she realised life is too short and she's always wanted to see a koala in real life, so once she's better, she pulls the girls out of school to spend two weeks in australia. they also visit uluru and learn about aboriginal culture and bush tucker.

paul and asha go on their honeymoon.

marjan and nancy are chosen to go to a global conference in perth about leadership for female first responders, to represent the AFD.

as for their antics and culture shocks:

for tk, I think he would somehow end up rescuing an animal, maybe an orphan wombat joey and trying to convince carlos that he can raise it fine and they don’t need to call WIRES (a wildlife carer organisation), carlos calls anyway. as for carlos, who we know is not a great traveller, I think he'd struggle with how even the familiar stuff, like american chain stores/fast food places, and basic foods like bread are different in Australia, but he'd find how laid back it is, even in touristy areas really relaxing for his anxiety.

I think judd would be surprised by how different and challenging he finds it to drive on the opposite side of the road. at first he assumes it'll be easy, he's a really competent driver, he can drive a firetruck, how hard is it to drive a minivan on the 'wrong' side of the road. He also absolutely loses his mind at hook turns in melbourne (for good reason, who came up with those?) In the end, grace takes over for their road trip along the great ocean road, and is a total natural at driving on the left. judd sits in the back with charlie pointing out every animal they pass and playing "i spy" with her. at some point in their trip, they pass a bunnings and charlie gets really excited because that looks just like hammerbarn from bluey.

i think owen would go to bondi beach to surf, and end up in an episode of bondi rescue stealing the lifeguard's thunder by pulling off some daredevil rescue before the lifeguards get there (but not before the cameras do), then he gets a really hipster vegan smoothie from a nearby cafe and somehow ends up getting a date with a rich much younger local blonde woman who's sole heiress to a mining magnate.

meanwhile, mateo takes a day trip to the blue mountains, to see if they're really blue in real life. he comes across wild kangaroos and thinks it would be so dope to send everyone back home a selfie of him petting a kangaroo and thus becomes intimately equated with the differences between paramedicine in austin and sydney. after he's been stitched up he avoids the wildlife, opting to wander around the city near their hotel playing pokemon go when owen goes to the zoo.

paul & asha are looking forward to a really relaxing honeymoon, along the east coast, eating good food, drinking good wine, sitting by the pool reading, walking along the beach, hiking and taking in the wildlife. unfortunately, as a member of the 126, paul can't stop attracting trouble, with people having emergencies everywhere they go. on the flight there, there's bad turbulence, a few people get hurt and paul has to give minor first aid. then they get to a resturant that had amazing reviews for the australian fusion cusine, paul has been dying to try it and a woman at the next table chokes just as their first course arrives. paul has to render aid until the ambulance arrives, by the time it does his food is cold, the resturant comps their meal though. then when they're driving to a mountain to go hiking, a car crashes in front of them, they help rescue the driver with no equipment before the car is engulfed in flames. by the time help arrives and they give their details etc, it's too late in the day to start their hike. a man almost drowns in the hotel pool just as paul gets to the good part of his book, the lifeguard doesn't notice, so he has to rescue them. asha starts to joke they shouldn't leave their hotel room. that said, paul is shocked by how good all the food is in australia, and the coffee. he struggles to adjust back to american coffee when he gets home, and starts importing a specalised blend from a cafe they visited in australia who ship worldwide.

while nancy and marjan are at their conference, they're constantly next to each other, in each other's personal space and making inside jokes/laughing at things the other says, to the point everyone they meet, including hen who's there representing the afd, assumes they're dating (they aren't, yet) and asks what it's like working together and dating. marjan wants to go to rottnest island while they're in perth and get a quokka selfie for her instagram, she gets at least a dozen, and convinces nancy she needs to be in at least one quokka selfie with her. they send it to the 126 groupchat and tk assumes it's an announcement that they're finally dating. they both blush. by the end of the trip they are, infact, dating.

tommy & the twins go to queensland first, they have the best time as a family at australia zoo where they cuddle a koala and tommy is so excited to see robert irwin doing the croc feeding show. then they go to the gold coast and stay by the beach, where tommy expereinces the culture shock of how much more laid back and peaceful it is. she wants to have a really 'authentic' experience, so they have fish and chips on the beach. they're surprised that nobody else is eating on the beach, until they get attacked by a flock of seagulls. after losing half their chips and all their calamari to the gulls, they decide to have ice cream for dinner instead. the twins dare tommy to try vegemite flavoued ice cream, and not only does she like it, but she gets it with a scoop of cookies and cream. when they're learning about bush tucker on their uluru trip, tommy is the only person in the tour group willing to try witcherry grubs.
