July 30, 2021 (released October 22, 2021) - In the Soop episode 2 airs. After dancing, singing and playing with the water hose with Hobi, Tae goes to Jungkook’s room to spend time with him and Bam. Bam is at the door when Tae enters, and responds to Tae telling him to go in(to the room).
The manner and tone in which Tae coddles and talks to Bam is very similar to the way JK spoke to Bam the previous night. [Refer to video compilation https://twitter.com/hellotae_Vv/status/1451606243953364994?s=20]. It has also been pointed out that it also resembles the way Tae played with the dog that was on the “LGO” filming set - https://twitter.com/KeeponlovingV/status/1449013106257002501?s=20.
Tae comments that Bam’s personality hasn’t changed.

Tae’s comment is noteworthy. Jungkook mentions in this same episode that he hasn't been able to spend much time with Bam because he was at a training center. For Tae to be confident that Bam’s personality hasn’t changed indicates he’s spent enough time with Jk and Bam to know this.

Tae was playing basketball alone but Jk and Bam come and join him. Jk proposes they play tennis, with Bam initially playing with them. When JK begins the first serve, he pretends to do a really tough serve that will be hard for Tae. JK laughs and immediately stops when Tae tells him off cutely not to do it.
After Bam goes back to Jk’s room, and Taekook resume playing, Jungkook comments that they’re terrible at tennis. Tae muses it may be because it has been a while since they’ve played. It’s uncertain if this is in reference to prior run episodes when BTS were taught, and then played tennis, or if Taekook have played together in private.

After playing tennis, Taekook decide to ride ATVs. This doesn’t air in the televised public viewing in Korea, only the paid Weverse edition. A wide shot shows there are two ATVs -
And initially Taekook appear to ride their own, as seen in a behind the scenes still shot -
But interestingly enough, BH airs them sharing one. Some cute photos of the moment -
In these close ups, you can see Tae made to put his arm around Jk’s waist before deciding to put it back around his neck -

Taekook sing together before dinner.

Oddly, the editors decided to cut and splice the footage. Initially, Tae is singing alone with the blue mic and he’s sitting in a gray chair (let’s name this GC 1). Next to him, the other gray chair (GC 2) has a yellow mic, the KTV controller and something that looks like a phone.
Partway through the song, when Jk joins, Tae is in the orange chair with the yellow mic, but we never hear the song change. The gray chair (GC2) where the yellow mic & phone once was in the earlier scene, now only has the KTV control and nintendo switch controller. Jk takes a seat in the gray chair where Tae was shown sitting just moments ago (GC1).
https://twitter.com/dionysusvrs/status/1451697805836406789?s=21
Then there’s another cut. Tae is back in the gray chair we saw him in the first scene (GC1), with the blue mic again, and Jungkook vanishing from the scene entirely.
Then in the next second Jungkook is back sitting next to Tae, but JK is in GC2 instead of GC1 where we saw him sitting before. The song never changes in all these splices so it seems like Bh edited the one song over different clips of them singing together. I’m not sure why Bh decided to splice and edit this. After the song supposedly ends, Tae nudges JK’s hand and JK seems to know what he means, immediately picking up the KTV controller and choosing the song for them to sing. Tae is now singing with the blue mic and JK with the yellow mic.
https://twitter.com/vkooksjourney/status/1451704942817734658?s=20
It’s also interesting to note that before they showed Tae singing, JK was seated in the living room with background music covering up Tae’s singing. This hints that Tae and JK spent a much longer time singing together and we were only shown edited snippets of it.
The members prepare for dinner outside.
Tae spots a bug, reacting in fright. He goes to hide behind Jungkook. Jk is known to be fearless with bugs (Hobi has asked for Jk’s help with them before) but I personally found it very domestic that he sought shelter behind Jk and then gently nudged him to help the group, and it is now a favorite moment of mine for the sweetness and the spontaneity that showcased domesticity.

https://twitter.com/ging_jjk/status/1451531247084138505?s=21
Tae sits very closely to JK throughout the whole dinner, angling his chair towards JK as well.
Tae makes Chapaguri and brings it back to the table where JK mixes the sauce into the noodles. They start to discuss whether they should drain the water out of the noodles or not. Tae refutes saying they’ll end up eating tomorrow instead (if he didn’t drain the water and just let it evaporate like how JK suggests). JK and Tae cutely bicker for a bit, bringing in the famous chef Mr Paik.
After JK finishes mixing the noodles, the boys dig in but continue their banter about the noodles. Jin asks what brand of noodles it is and JK responds with a cute accent, making Tae laugh while nudging his arm to point at something, and lingers his hand.
Taekook remain close throughout the rest of the dinner.
This was one trend after IST2, episode 2 (Vkook also trended) -

(TRANS) 170417 Mogujie Interview with Lay
Mogujie interviews Zhang Yixing | The Hardworking Zhang Yixing never earns his living through his looks!
There’s definitely a good reason behind the astounding rise in the number of his fans in recent years. Zhang Yixing, whose nicknames range from “little lamb” to “master of silliness”, has been known for his earnest efforts in public welfare, his humility and sincerity, how he treats everyone around him with care, and how down-to-earth he is in his job. While it may seem that our society now is greatly centered on one’s appearance, he still believes that working hard is far more important than a person’s looks! Today, Gugujiang (a Mogujie journalist) had the opportunity to interview the very busy Zhang Yixing! Want to know more about what we discussed? Let’s have a look!
Zhang Yixing is here to say hi to all of you!
(I’ve listened to it over 20 times, how about you?)
[Yixing’s recording] Hi everyone on Mogujie, I’m Zhang Yixing~
You have to admit, the year 2017 belongs to Zhang Yixing! Our Yixing won this year’s All-rounded Artist of the Year Award at the 2nd China TV Quality Drama Awards this year, where he looked astonishingly handsome decked out in an all-black suit at the ceremony, thereby humbly accepting and reaping the first of his “fruits” of 2017.
Zhang Yixing, who has had his hands busy collecting awards, also recently bagged home two big awards himself at the 5th YinYueTai V Charts Awards; with his solo original album Lose Control, he brought home the two big awards Album of the Year and Best Male Artist!
For someone who has just released his first solo album, this is unbelievable results! We are so proud of his amazing achievements. From the composition of his own music and lyrics, to the producing of his own music, he could only sleep a few hours a day in that period of time, working so hard just to produce a work of his sincerity for his fans.
Not only does our Yixing sing immensely well, his dancing skills also renders everyone speechless. Zhang Yixing, who has put in a lot of hard work in his dancing skills since a young age, seems to take on a different persona once he starts dancing; he really melted my heart!
Do you remember Yixing’s “Wet Dance” at the annual Countdown Party concert on Dragon TV? You could become pregnant just at a glance, he was so sexy that he killed all of us!
His choreography, which was the combination of power and beauty, coupled with that sweet voice unique to Zhang Yixing himself, has made every performance of his a grand ceremony of sights and sounds. Yixing once said that he hoped to mark the dawn of China’s music industry, and with all the effort he has put in through the years, step by step, he has indeed done so.
Now, other than being a singer, Zhang Yixing has also joined the ranks of actors! In the 2016 drama To Be A Better Man, which earned great ratings, he played the role of the sweet and cute “Xiao Cai”. He could melt your heart with how adorable he was in every scene he appeared in.
Let’s now move on to the famous topic of the role he played in The Mystic Nine. His role as Er Yuehong allowed the audience to see Yixing as the multi-faceted actor he is; instead of just being a sweet muddle-headed teenager new to love and relationships, his stellar performance in this role showed that he is a true actor who can also marvellously execute scenes of wrath, power, deep feelings, sorrow and pain.
Yixing’s newest drama production, Operation Love, will be released on April 24th this year! Zhang Yixing will be showing us two different images of the same role in this drama - Yan Xiaolai both as a student and as a mature suit-donning adult.
Anyone could be blinded just by seeing a few immensely handsome pictures of him from the shoot~
Our little lamb can melt your heart with just a scene from the drama! Let go of that girl (the actress in Operation Love, referring to the gif below) and come to me right now!
On the topic of how there are some who still doubt the maturity of Yixing’s performance as an actor, our Yixing gave a most humble and sincere response.
“I don’t recognise myself as an actor. I have worked hard and have been lucky to receive good roles to play. Ultimately, what’s most important is the audience’s opinion [of my acting]. When they say you can act well, you can recognise yourself as an actor then. I hope that everyone will give me more chances in the future, I will continue to work hard.” He said.
In the media industry today, many artists have proven to be impatient in becoming famous as quickly as possible. It is thus refreshing to see that Zhang Yixing is an artist both humble and earnest, earning him the moniker of an idol filled with positive energy! Last year, he donated RMB 1 million to his alma mater, contributing to the school’s arts scholarship fund, to encourage his juniors to work hard and realise their dreams.
Despite his waist injury, Yixing even went to visit children living in the poorer areas of his country, bringing them warmth and joy.
As an artist who loves his fans, he told his Xingmis, “If you see me on the streets and you want to say hi, don’t be afraid to, just go ahead, whenever and wherever. But really, you don’t have to come to the airport to see me, I don’t want anyone to fall or get hurt or hurt others just to see me. Your parents will be worried.”
As an artist who also takes care of his backstage crew, he even uses his own chopsticks to give food to his backstage crew when they are eating together.
As an artist who also respects his seniors in the industry, he has been praised by famous senior actor Liu Xiao Ling Tong as someone who is very polite and courteous, always bowing and greeting his seniors.
His senior, Huang Lei, who starred in Go, Fighting with him, also once praised Yixing for all the hard work he has put in as an artiste.
When I received the task of interviewing Zhang Yixing, I was so excited that I couldn’t stop myself from asking him to do the 30 Quick Question and Answer exercise with me. But I was also concerned that he could be too busy (and therefore may have to cut short the interview) so I told him to just pick some questions from the list. However, our open and sincere Yixing answered them all! It was so touching I almost cried! Come on, let’s take a look at it! There’re so many interesting and exciting facts too!
