I just finished watching Suchwita ep 20
And I genuinely don't understand how people are out here on God's blue-hypertext internet not adoring Park Jimin.
Everyone who gets within arm's length of him is under his spell.
His members go gooey. Taeyang and Taemin melt. Every interviewer, every backup dancer... hell, even his *bodyguards* are like "he's too attractive and he smells so good and his hands are too soft; I had to quit." He's not just a siren who gets male YouTube reactors bent, he's a mischievous little angel who never forgets a birthday and whose tinkling fairy voice can make *babies* stop crying.
How are you even going to spend 5 minutes watching Jimin do absolutely anything and go "no, that's not for me, I hate his guts and am gonna drag him"?
How? HOW?
Seek therapy. I'm not even joking. If you hate Jimin it's because you are damaged. You're walking wounded, my friend. You're soul sick.
I mean.... what even?
In other news, Taemin has a nickname for Jimin's thighs, and it's "the tank." Also, they know their hands are the exact same size. Adorable!

September 3, 2023 (filmed), November 4, 2023 (released): Suchwita part 2 of 3
As Yoongi talks about the main title track, “Standing Next To You,” Tae initially was sitting facing forward, but abruptly shifts to stare at Jk as he shares he recorded it the day after “Seven” (when he was in LA).
Timestamp 21:00
Jk discloses SNTY wasn’t decided as the main title track at the time of recording. He hesitates to say anything further, but Tae encourages him, saying it’ll be edited out.
Jk asks why he should bother if it’ll be edited out -
Tae doesn’t respond, but mashes his lips together as he stares at Jk -
Yoongi laughs at their old married couple bickering, teasing for them to take it outside if they’re going to bicker -
Timestamp 21:16
After their married couple light bickering, Tae quietly listens in support as Jk talks about how SNTY became the main title track, that Producer Andrew Watt played it and Jk promised to practice it that evening to record it the following day, which leads Tae to audibly express his pride and impressment at how hardworking and talented Jk is.
Timestamp 21:33
The trio clink glasses, congratulating Jungkook -

Interestingly, Tae mentions it would be cool for Jk to perform the song with a band. Two months after recording Suchwita, on November 3, 2023, Jk does perform “Seven” “3D” and “Standing Next To You” with a live band for iHeart radio. This is speculative on my part, but perhaps Tae was hinting at it when they filmed Suchwita, since these two know everything about each other (Jungkook flew to America on September 5, 2023, so it’s plausible this was a hint). If you haven’t heard Jk’s live performance for iHeart, I’d encourage you to watch it. I’ve left the links below. I especially love how SNTY showcases his exceptional vocal range (those high notes, especially when he sings “sun and the moon!” + it’s such a dance heavy song, which helps to highlight what an incredible and powerful dancer he is.
Timestamp 22:37
Seven on iHeart: https://youtu.be/fkZjni4ieWs?si=vDaQiI1q2-nUWK_Q
SNTY on iHeart: https://youtu.be/S9pq1HqJKSo?si=4jmpIjGMTe8wBQHW
(At the time of posting, 3D is not an available link)
And Jk says if he did perform a showcase or concert, he’d start it with a “bang” which makes Tae quietly go “oooh,” impressed.
Timestamp 22:44
Jk bops along to SNTY. Yoongi praises him as the only person in Korea who can pull off pop this well. Jk responds with a thumbs up as he continues to dance along to the main title track. Tae briefly dances along too.
Timestamp 23:05
Jk reveals before the song ends that the ending is “base and drums,” with a “whoo” from him. He imitates the “whoo” while looking at Tae.
Timestamp 23:20
As SNTY finishes, Tae praises Jk and says, “so cool” as Yoongi predicts it’ll be #1 on the BB 100 and 200 simultaneously. Jk says he’ll try his best again and Tae encourages him, saying, “let’s go,” which Jk repeats.
Timestamp 23:35
Yoongi mentions “Golden” was originally going to be a mini album (EP) with 5-6 tracks. Once again, Tae abruptly shifts to stare directly at Jk, exclaiming, “Hmm?” in surprise as he turns.
Timestamp 23:42
Exclaiming his surprise again as Jk confirms -
https://x.com/mybwits/status/1720797483138535537?s=46&t=StSwHjW0_Domk_lHUFMaCg
I want to emphasize again how Tae continuously supported and expressed admiration towards Jk throughout the show. He nods along as Jk explains how his mini album morphed into a full album -
Timestamp 24:08
More glasses clinking together by the trio -
Timestamp 24:22
Jk discloses he worked hard, pretty much recording one song a day. As Yoongi asks how long he took recording each song, if it was eight to nine hours a day, Tae exclaims, “Wow,” in amazement.
Timestamp 24:37
Jk shares that it actually it took him about three hours to record each song, not eight to nine hours, which Yoongi praises as an indicator of “unprecedented growth,” to which Tae agrees.
Timestamp 24:38
Yoongi continues praising Jk, saying that’s insanely fast. Tae agrees by giving perspective, sharing with a straight face that it takes him three days to record one song. This makes Jk laugh loudly, while Yoongi makes sure to tell viewers, “It’s not a matter of ability but of a person’s character.”
Timestamp 24:49 or https://x.com/mybwits/status/1720798692872175824?s=46&t=StSwHjW0_Domk_lHUFMaCg
Yoongi asks Jk why he picked those specific tracks. Tae, being a precious assistant MC, asks the question in a different way. Jk shares it’s about love, with the start of the album being upbeat and about falling in love, and ending with a more sentimental vibe as the album transitions to a break up. He encourages listeners to listen to the songs in order for context.
Timestamp 25:25
Side note - I found the meaning of SNTY interesting -
As Jk states there’s context to the songs, and the order they’re placed in his album (again, with the start of the album being about attraction and falling in love, which is reflected in the more upbeat tracks, and then track seven on are about heartbreak / falling out of love, with a more somber and melancholic tone) Tae listens with a proud expression on his features.
Timestamp 25:36
Jk has repeatedly expressed his hope and goal to perform a three hour solo concert. Tae mentions it in Suchwita, encouragingly asking Yoongi if “Jungkookie” has enough songs to put on a concert now, which Yoongi affirms.
Timestamp 26:54
Sadly, we’ll have to wait a little longer for that world tour (and the bloodbath for tickets). For now, Jk will be performing a showcase in Seoul (November 20, 2023). Tae, again being an endearing, helpful assistant MC, asks Jk when his showcase will be. Tae sports a proud smile towards Jk as he responds that he’ll give ARMY the best time he possibly can.

Good God not this again 🙄
Do they really believe that hybe plans their schedules in a way that prevents them from attending e/o events? If that were the case, then tae wouldn't have been in that suchwita ep either. How delusional can they get? This is such a dumb thing to believe.
Umm...Idk but am I the only one that didn't want Tae to be there? I really don't want to be part of the disaster discourse that will inevitably follow.
