Short but sweet Bangtan Bomb for J-Hope's Entrance Ceremony.
This time it looks like the team weren't allowed into the training camp and had to film in the car park. As is appropriate for Hobi, there was a lot of hugging.
Unfortunately, although Jin was allowed to appear in the photo posted yesterday, he couldn't appear in the Bangtan Bomb. Spot the difference!
This is the guys reaction when he arrived. They were very very excited and proceeded to try out his muscles as Tae said they had been invited to do in his live this morning.
RM seems to have been particularly emotional this time, probably being aware that originally he had planned to go with Hobi.
Finally, there was a little bit of jikookery to enjoy.
I end up going round in circles, and fall into slumps, and I feel some sort of disconnection from what I actually like. And I wonder why I think the way I do.

I knew this would be landing today. No captions yet though.

They were all keeping up a brave face but it was obvious that each and every one of them (that we saw) was deeply sad. Did I or did I not say NJ was crying?
The love they all feel for each other, all of them, and the love they all, each and every one of them have for Hobi, it's just beyond description. They are a family. A mostly functional non biological loving family.
As we know, they arrived one after the other, pretty much at the same time. We see JK and Tae behind him walk up to Hobi interact with him and then JM comes over complaining of a back ache.
Muscle memory kicks in, it's just such a natural thing for him to do - JM in pain, JK goes into carer mode, reaching out to JM.
That hand.
JM doesn't seem to notice, walks by JK and Tae straight to Hobi for a hug.
A few seconds later JM turns to the person that gives him comfort, the person he gives comfort to, for this:
And a big strong super tight hug.
Prey do tell me, what about that interaction warranted that hug exactly?
That hug. That tone they have with each other.
The others just doing their own thing, not bothered what so ever, while Jikook are being Jikook right beside them.
Same same.
And it didn't end.
The camera panned out (or rather in, to Hobi and Tae's conversation/interaction) while they were still embraced. Still doing whatever they were up to. You can hear them in the background even though the cameraman decided enough is enough and better leave them out of frame at that point.
Ok, so listen up.
We know JK arrived the night before.
We know JK isn't wearing his CK jacket.
With Jikooks is it me is it you alcohol teasing going on there before that mighty hug, I kind of have a feeling the two were busy drinking together, not getting too much sleep, maybe leaving in a bit of a rush in the morning and being a little hung over, Mr. Jeon took the wrong jacket by mistake?
Hope he didn't get into trouble with CK, although with the success so far of his ambassadorship (shares prices going up, sales through the roof), I doubt they will be too bothered.
Just a theory here folks. Mostly unsubstantiated and can clearly be written into the next Twitter fanfic.
**Note to self: maybe I should start writing fanfics, or fiction in general, I might just have a knack for it...
But...
See, I'm not the only one that figures the two were drinking together...
The rest of the story, yeah that's on me.
Fast forward a tiny little bit.
And then JM's all up in JK's face again.
Yep, puffy red eyes confirmed.
The way JK just allows JM to do whatever he wants with him, lol.
I don't know if you noticed this, but a. most of the time that we did see them they were by each other's side, mostly glued together; and b. Much of the time they were off frame, and it felt intentional, probably because they didn't budge from each other's side.
The way all their faces lit up when Jin arrived.
Sadly, they couldn't show Jin in the BTB. Which means folks, that we won't be getting to see Jin and Hobi in any future content that may or may not be created upon the enlistment of the next member.
It's understandable to not glorify the mandatory military service, also justifiable not engaging with the said content, official or otherwise.
But straight up wanting the enlisted soldiers ( in this case the members ) to be miserable the whole service period is projection. Wishing they hate the experience, wishing them be IA the whole time and being mad at them everytime they're online or just being normal cuz their enlisted in forced labour is literally psychotic. A lot of people have this notion of pressuing the boys into acting your way and it isn't right. Military or Stage.
Yes they were put into this by force, without an option, given one, obviously anyone would rather hold a mic than a g*n but they're born into this, their society is embedded with this, its part of them so when someone is trying to make the best off the circumstances they've been put under you as a fan have no right to dictate how they feel or not. If they're proud of serving their country as citizens then good for them, you have no right forcing your ideologies on people of a country u know only from online sources or media.
If something doesn't sit right with you, you do not engage with it and scroll away, If something personally bothers you, report, block and move on drop yalls think pieces it's getting tiring especially when most of them make you sound like borderline antis. Engaging with artists content and art doesn't give a person right to project their own emotions or dictate how/what said artist feels.
P.S: any content, story otherwise that isn't from official sources, DO. NOT. ENGAGE.
