Jikook Week 76 Complete (20/05-27/05/2025)

Jikook have finalized their 76th week in the military and have apparently both been in Japan, presumably using up their remaining leave before their official discharge in just over two weeks. The timeline is filled with speculation of what Festa 2025 will look like and if we will see new music from the guys (we still don't know what they recorded with J Balvin and we haven't yet solved the "keep going" mystery.)

This week in 2017 BTS were in Las Vegas to attend the BBMAs. Watching the Bangtan Bomb from the visit their excitement at being at such a huge industry event is palpable.

On the plane to Las Vegas, Jimin, Jin and V talked about how nervous and happy they were to be attending the BBMAs and thanked ARMY for making it possible.

The cameras were on them right from when they touched the ground on 20/05 and didn't let up until they left the US. Everybody wanted a piece of BTS during their visit.

JK wore a "You Never Walk Alone" cap. In 2022, this BTS lyric later appeared on the hoodie that Jimin designed for their artist made merch.

First stop was to record their Billboard welcome message. Here they are getting ready to film.

Four of the members went to the theatre that night but Jikook and Joon apparently "fell into a deep sleep because of jet lag".

The next day was the show itself.

The nervous excitement was reaching a fever pitch and Jimin decided to film everybody as they prepared to hit the red carpet.

Jim Cam also recorded JK and couldn't resist giving him the complement he so rightly deserved.

The fans were out in force as they took their turn in front of the camera. It was a whirlwind of short soundbite interviews with Jikook exuding a hint of the power couple energy that has only got stronger with the passing of the years.

After a brief rest and a Live from the lounge,

the show began and ARMY was out in force making their presence felt with the fan chant.

And then the moment of truth, BTS beat out Justin Beiber, Ariana Grande, Shawn Mendes and Selena Gomez as Top Social Artist.

Look at how happy they were. BTS really were paving the way!

After all that did they get time for a break and bask in the glory of their first BB win? Absolutely not by the 25th May they were already arriving in Sydney for the continuation of the Wings Tour. 2017 was non-stop for the members and this must be one of the reasons, Jikook's escape to Tokyo at the end of October has always been so precious to them both. If they have been together in Japan over the last few days, I hope they made new unforgettable memories as they prepare for the new chapter that begins in June.

Jikook Week 47 Complete (29/10-05/11/2024)

Their 47th week in the military is now complete and we celebrate with a look back at this week in 2017.

It was a very special week for Jimin and Jungkook marking their first trip together. They went to Tokyo between 28/10 and 31/10 on a trip that JK organised as a birthday present for Jimin, a trip that they are still talking about seven years later.

"We were walking down an alley, there weren't many cars, there was the light from the street lamps.... It was really beautiful. And then Jimin said that his feet hurt and so we walked slowly. These simple things were so fun" Jungkook, Real Love, Beyond the Story

"We went around wearing masks from the move Scream with black fabric covering our bodies, and black umbrellas. When people came over, we took picture, it was fun. We went around people watching, and when we went to the restaurant, we took off our masks and ate" Jungkook, Real Love, Beyond the Story

They wandered the streets, went shopping, ate good food and visited Disneyland before returning to Korea on the 31/10.

The first Golden Closet Film came out about a week later on 08/11 much to JK's delight as its talented creator and Jimin as its star.

No one before or since has shown Jimin quite like JK does here. He is completely open, relaxed and joyful. He beams at JK behind the lens. This is what it must feel like to be in Jimin's inner circle and have his complete trust. It is a Jimin that we don't really see anymore, although perhaps, in Are You Sure? we caught glimpses of that guy.

On 31/10, Jimin posted this photo of them looking relaxed and happy with an emoji caption. The trip seems to have done them a lot of good and brought them even closer.

😊💐

The trip took place during a break in the Wings tour between the Taiwan concerts on the 21-22/10 and the Macau concert on 04/11. If you want to know how crazy this time was for them and how hard they were working nothing can demonstrate that more clearly than the Burn the Stage series and in this case Episode 8 which shows the October and November leg of the tour and its final concert in Seoul on 10th December 2017.

It is in this episode that Taehyung asks us to love all seven of the members of BTS which seems worth repeating at this moment.

Watching their 2017 selves talking about what they learnt about each other and about themselves during the Wings Tour made me nostalgic for a time when I wasn't even in the fandom and hopeful for the future that they deserve, pursuing the next steps of their musical journey together as a group. Just over seven months to go before that future can become a reality and all we need to do until then is hold it together, ensure we put out our share of positivity to balance the incessant toxicity of SM and TRUST IN BTS.
