"I wanna hold your hand"
*tw - homophobia*
Jimin's line is an echo of the Beatles song by the same name, as i mentioned in my Ted Talk on SGMB.
Let's look at the lyrics of that Beatles song:
(From beatles.com)
I wanna hold your hand...
It's an everyday thing.
Many of us recognise this desire, I'm sure. Touch is hardwired into us, and unless it's conditioned out of us, we seek it without thinking.
Holding hands with a family member gives us security and safety from the time we are very young.
As adults, holding hands is a gentle reminder of your loved one beside you. It is quiet reassurance and a whisper of affection.
But not for everyone.
Like a lot of things that might be taken for granted by a straight couple, holding hands in public can be challenging, and even dangerous for queer couples, especially in ultra conservative environments.
Right now, in Korea, It is simply unacceptable for a queer couple to hold hands in public.
They are denied this basic sign of affection that others are naturally entitled to.
They are denied this social signal that tells the world 💕we're together💕.
They are denied this form of touch-communication that makes it so easy for couples to interact without words.
In some places, queer couples must be even more inhibitited in order to be safe.
They have to be alert to observers and to their own actions, incase they give themselves away.
Don't stand too close together
Don't touch too causally
Don't let your eyes linger
Dont show too much familiarity
Don't take liberties with tone or language
Whatever you do, don't behave like a couple.
I remember in 2019 - the BB of their visit to the pop-up shop in Seoul was released and i noticed right away that Jimin and JK came through the door very close together. Jimin's hand was at JK's waist. As soon as he saw the cameras, his hand vanished.
It was a crushing moment, seeing Jimin's reaction to the camera. He quietly dropped his hand and stopped walking, starring at the camera pensively as JK continued on unaware. He knew they had been filmed.
It was like Jimin was mentally calculating the damage.
I think when Jimin sings "I wanna hold your hand" it isnt just a cute expression of liking somebody.
Its a real sadness. He's lamenting the fact.
"I wanna hold your hand"
(but i can't)
* I'm not even going to begin to discuss the risks associated with gender diversity and gender non-conformity In some countries.

I hope all the members, especially Yoongi, can feel the love that they have for each other right now, and use it as nourishment to keep going. I hope they can look at the little number 7 etched onto their bodies and feel it tingle, reminding them that they are together even when they are apart. I hope Jungkook can look at the tattoo on his arm, the word ’Bulletproof’ standing out amongst the others, and know that this, too, will pass, and his brother will come out of it only stronger than before. I hope Jimin can feel the weight of ’Nevermind’ on his chest, the undeniable proof of his brother’s resolve, and realize that this is only another chapter in their lengthy book, and all chapters eventually come to an end and make way for newer, better ones. I hope they can all feel the bond they share, carved into their skin, though it is far from skin deep – that bond runs down to their bones, and has been forged from their blood, sweat, and tears, never to be shaken by those who wish to covet what they have. I hope they know that they are also loved by us. And while our bond may be different, it is just as unyielding. I hope they know that we are not leaving them. I hope they remember the spring that waits just around the edge of winter. I hope they remember what they’ve taught us. I hope they sleep well.
