Luo Yunxi Appreciation Master Post: How can someone be so multi-talented?!

In case you did not already know, here are LYX's many talents. It's insane how many different things he can do at a near-professional level beyond acting!

1. Dance/Ballet

LYX graduated from the Shanghai Theatre Academy majoring in ballet with over 11 years of professional experience.

This is him doing 13+ pirouettes in a performance of Tchaikovsky Rhapsody (full video, he's on the right)

Interpret dance solo (燃烧的火苗) where he won the first gold ever for STA (video, news)

Swan Lake solo at the Taoli Cup Dance Competition in high school (video)

Modern dancing solo (黑白影画) at his graduation performance (video, he's the only guy in white)

He also taught at the Macao Conservatory for a year and danced in front of national leaders in Flying to the Moon (奔月) at the Macao 10th Handover Anniversary (video)

He's super flexible and has a strong core (despite being naturally thin)

In response to request from fans, he performed the Black Moonlight dance in a now viral video on Douyin.

2. Wuxia / Posture

LYX is known as one of the best actors working today for wire work - you can see him here doing 3 consecutive jumps 2-3 stories above ground (compilation videos 1, 2)

He does a lot of his own stunts and is often better (i.e. more graceful) than his stunt double, even though it's really risky and he's sustained some serious injuries from being dropped accidentally (And the Winner is Love: B roll video, actual scene, other BTS, other fight scenes)

He moves with elegance, not just in action sequences (Ashes of Love fight compilation 1, 2), but people have made video compilations of how he walks, kneels, works his sleeves and train

Of course, it's thanks to his dance foundation, but he also puts a lot of hard work into stunt training. Not something a lot of actors do because it eats up time to make more TV or go on variety shows (Ashes of Love stunt training, BTS)

3. Diving

He played a diver once in Flip in Summer (夏日心跳) and actually learned to dive... I mean he's no Tom Daley but this looks pretty good for an amateur... (full video)

4. Voice Acting

He’s always dubbed himself since circa 2018 (with the exception of And the Winner is Love due to Covid logistics issues), which is not the norm in Chinese drama (Ashes of Love dubbing BTS). In fact, he is sometimes the only person in the cast to use his original voice (e.g. in Princess Silver)

He also lends his voice to animations - he was the voice of Viktor in Arcane (BTS video), which received positive feedback (most people didn't realize he was not a professional voice actor)

He appears as a judge and live dubbing performer in Voice Monster alongside the top voice actors in China, Bian Jiang (aka voice of Yehua in Eternal Love, Nan Wangj in the Untamed) and Zhang Jie (aka voice of Donghua in Eternal Love, Sifeng in Love & Redemption). He has so much respect to those working behind the scenes, and it really shows (full video)

5. Singing

Some of you may know that he started out in a boy band called JL with Fu Longfei - these videos didn't age well, but here you go: JL (MV), 我们 (MV)

He has released a number of solo singles, including 缘起 (MV), 星星之火 (live), 不是我 (MV), 等风停 (MV). and 勇 (soundtrack), which he composed and wrote the lyrics himself (these are all mando-pop ballads if that's your jam)

He performed Big Fish 大鱼 at Tmall's 11/11 Festival (live video) - while his rendition is not as powerful as the original, he can hit really high notes with an impressive falsetto - I think it goes up to G5 (one octave above middle C)

He performed Pipa Xing (琵琶行) at the Douyin Festival (live video) - the notable part is his Peking Opera style singing at the end

He occasionally releases covers of songs on Chinese karaoke app Changba or Douyin: 要不然我们就这样一万年 (youtube), 黑月光 (youtube), 不染 (youtube), 山水又一程 (youtube)

He can also sing in other languages, including 喜欢你 in Cantonese (recording) - it's actually a very good cover and his Cantonese pronunciation is >95% accurate - there are parts where you can't tell he's not a native speaker.

6. Musical Instruments

He's an accomplished classically-trained pianist, which you can see in...

JL MV (video, starting around 3:30 mark) - don't mind the makeup, it's from ages ago

Mr Mossie season 2 (video)

Love is Sweet (BTS video) - impromptu jazz, he was deciding which song to play

Fan thank you recording (video)

He also plays the guitar, though probably at an amateur level

7. Music Gaming

During college he was obsessed with this music game called O2Jam (劲乐团) to the point where he created new tracks (i.e. arrange/compose the music) for the company under the username Dinoroy (explained by himself here, videos of him playing).

He became well-known within the fan community as the legendary D神 (D God). There are a lot of funny comments from old players saying that they thought D God is a bitter middle-aged recluse trying to screw them over with difficult tracks (read comments here).

D God was so prolific and reliable that gaming company accepted his submissions without review. Here are some of his best tracks - game arrangement only (Lydia, Croatian Rhapsody, Digital Emotions), music & game arrangement (黑暗魅影), original composition (光之乐章)

8. League of Legends

He's an LOL super fan, commentator, and player since season 2, went to see worlds in person twice, and was a cast member in a gaming show called Beyond It! Hero (episodes here)

He played the 2018 All-Star Event in Las Vegas teaming with reigning world champion Rookie and delivered the final blow that beat the other team 2:1 (video)

He got a quadra kill at a celebrity mobile game even though his team was crap (video clip)

He co-invested 1M RMB in a team led by Misaya 若风 - you can see them playing together in a live broadcast of the mobile game (video)

Update: Our longtime fan boy has become spokesperson of League of Legends and official commentator at the Asian Games 2023 in Hangzhou! The love is reciprocated!

9. Calligraphy/Drawing/Culture

LYX is known for his Chinese handwriting (he practices regularly) - there's even a font based on his handwriting called 汉仪罗云熙体 (download here)

He does all his own handwriting for marketing materials (e.g. Immortality below) and doesn't need a hand double for scenes where his character is practicing ancient Chinese calligraphy

He's also got amazing drawing skills - check out the Queen of the Night 昙花 he drew as Runyu while waiting around on set in between takes (video)

While he doesn't go on a lot of variety shows, he's often a guest on cultural programs, like the beauty of Chinese Calligraphy 书法之美 (video), Chinese Fans in 指尖上的非遗 (video)

His self-produced Mr. Mossie covers a lot of cultural topics (seasons 1, 2, 3), the segment on Hanfu was featured in the UNESCO Chinese Language Video Festival (video)

10. Photography

Luo Yunxi is often seen taking photos on set with his top-of-the-line Leica camera. Here are some of the photos he has shared:

My favorite k-pop videos

This list is likely to change depending on what day I'm posting it, but I just rewatched #1 on this list three times in a row and felt like making a list.

1. It's You - ATEEZ (Yeosang, San, Wooyoung) - this video makes me absolutely feral. The song was already my favorite on the album and then they went and released this?!?! It's so hot?! So Sexy!?!! I have an irrational fear that KQ will take it away because it's too perfect and sexy and wonderful and we don't deserve it. I was a Wooyoung/Seonghwa bias beforehand but now it's a four-way tie because holy shit have you seen them???

2. BTBT - B.I (Performance Ver.) - This was the first non-BTS video I became obsessed with, again after falling in love with the song and overplaying it (it was my top-played song of 2022). The dance is amazing, the way they flow, and it's such a simple video (the official video has cool cyberpunk vibes) but it works. This is the only video I've ever watched derivative videos for (dance covers, reactions) because I just can't get enough of it. (gif from the official vid bc the performance vid is criminally under-giffed)

3. Black Swan - BTS - Again, another one where the song got me first. The aesthetic of this video is just so good. I mean, the corsets speak for themselves, but I love how Jimin's amazing dancing gets such a highlight, the backdrops for Yoongi's meaningful verse, how good they all look. The dancing is great, the setting is beautiful, I can rewatch this ten times in a row and still want to watch it again.

4. Move - Taemin - Soooo good. Taemin is considered one of the best dancers in k-pop and he is showing you exactly why in this video. I love him embracing his androgyny here, with the more feminine dance moves and outfit silhouettes. The song is one of my favorites of all time and the video does it complete justice.

5. Rover - Kai - Hot hot hot. Kai. Shirtless. Blond. Those sunglasses?! I didn't like the dance much at first but it has really grown on me over time. Also, apparently this song is a cover/remake?

6. Super - Seventeen - You know, I can't figure out why I love this video so much. Like it's super basic as a concept - just all of them and a whole heap of dancers in one scene. But it works. As soon as they revealed Woozi being held up like he's on a throne with his little smirk, I knew I was done. The dance is so fun and I never get tired of watching this one.

7. Daechwita - Agust D - It's hard to decide between this and Haegeum, but this is the one that starts the story and my Agust D obsession, so obviously I had to choose it. I love the concept and how he lays out the Agust D story in just one mv. Royal Gangster Yoongi is just hnnng. I love the power here.

8. God's Menu - Stray Kids - This one is just super fun. I love all the different outfits - and like, Han in the chef's outfit is top-tier Han, he looks so hot.

9. Shalala - Taeyong - This is one of the most fun music videos I've ever seen. I love all of the different versions of Taeyong and he's the only idol I've seen pull off that shade of lime-green hair. The macarena dance should not work at all and yet it does.

10. Hip - Mamamoo - They slaaayyy in this video. I'm so obsessed with Queen Hwasa literally spitting on her haters. Moonbyul is amazing as always, I love how they have her in various roles that are typically male "anything you can do, I can do better" vibes. Also I really want to dye my hair the same shade as Whee-In's in this video.

11. Don't Call Me - Shinee - I call this the 'weird hat video'. Their hats are ridiculous. And you can tell Minho is really feeling it, just look at the gif. I love it.

ICYMI streaming battle...

Twitter Army will be having a streaming battle tomorrow and the teams are #TeamHYYH, #TeamLY and #TeamMOTS.

[Boy With Luv, Map of the Soul: 7]

I claim to be #TeamMOTS Army but honestly, I was not ready to let BTS into my soul when that album was released. Actually, I can’t even remember which BTS song was the first one I ever played. I’ve recounted my BTS story before but here it is again. According to my vague memories it went something like this:

End of 2019...trying Kpop...listen to other groups that are not BTS...they’re ok, one or two songs make it into my playlists... I knew of BTS because they were everywhere but I guess I was not listening to the right songs that would ultimately touch my soul. Here comes 2020...I was aware of the MOTS7 album dropping because it was at the top of the chart. I knew it was a big deal. I tried watching the Boy With Luv MV but my soul was not ready for all that pink on that first try. I saw them perform Black Swan on Corden’s show. I WAS STILL NOT FALLING FOR IT. I did not understand it. My soul just WASN’T READY.

[Black Swan live performance, The Late Late Show with James Corden, Jan. 2020]

And then came Carpool Karaoke Jimin. That blonde hottie in the red jacket just grabbed me by the throat and has never let me go. He was so different from what I was expecting.

When I finally took Boy With Luv MV out for another spin, that was all she wrote. The pink finally felt good and right. It was fresh and gave me joy.

Ironically, this performance made me start paying attention to their choreography:

[Boy With Luv, March 30, 2020, James Corden’s Homefest]

And then 2020 progressed into the shitshow it turned out to be on a global scale. Along comes Dynamite etc, and the rest is history for me.

By the time THIS Black Swan aired on Jimmy Fallon, I was well on my way:

[Black Swan, Sept. 2020, The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon] [It took me too long to catch on to the insanity of that back hug]

But here is my honest confession: I wish I was a #TeamLY Army. I absolutely adore Kitty Gang Jimin. I feel like I cheated myself because I didn’t come around sooner to finding BTS so I could have experienced that black leather fit with the sparkly shoulder jacket in real time. I WAS SOOO CLOSE! I missed it by mere months. My first BTS phone wallpaper was Kitty Gang Jimin in mid body roll.

And many of my favorite songs are from the Love Yourself era: Mic Drop, Airplane Pt. 2, Magic Shop, Serendipity, Euphoria, Love Maze.

I can confidently say, if it wasn’t for MOTS, I would have never known Kitty Gang Jimin. Heh heh.

Back to #TeamMOTS7... the fact I realized how important and big that album was when it dropped, even though I had not bought into the entire BTS thing yet, speaks volumes about the impact BTS was making then and continues to make. I was paying attention. I knew this was something even before I knew the impact it would make on my life.

Now it’s easy to go back and see things for what they were. It was me having such a skewed perspective because I’d never exposed myself to much (if any) other music/artists outside the U.S./western music market. I had never seen such pristinely performed (DIFFICULT) choreography. I unlearned a lot of deeply ingrained perceptions...about language barriers, lyrics and music; about what I thought masculinity meant. I learned to understand more overall about sexual identity and gender identity. And personally, I came to realize what a big impact to my self-esteem they had on me, them being so successful, and also of Asian heritage just like myself. I could finally relate to a globally successful music artist. It has been a revelation for sure.

I am a MOTS Army. And Filter is my flag/anthem.

So while we wait patiently and gird our loins for Jimin to drop his photo folio concept... if you are on Twitter, join the team of your choice, stream your teams songs on YouTube tomorrow, and help us add more views to BTS music videos.

If Jimin’s photo folio drops, I will report back after the flames die down. Or maybe in the midst of mid-burn...I know, TMI, sorry...peace out.

#just killing time until jimin photo folio drops and kills us all #but i am still salty #because we did not get live-in-person-FILTER-in-front-of-60000-Army #grr #teamMOTS #blonde jimin will forever be my favorite #but i love every single jimin that jimin wants to show us #kitty gang jimin was excellent #black swan jikook #serendipity jimin

BEST OF 2021: post your most favourite or most popular posts from each month this year

Sending all the smooches to the loveliest people who tagged me, thank you lovelies 😘: @rumue @kithtaehyung @rainycle @hobeah @jeonjcngkook @jimimn @kimtaehyunq @loverjimin @suga-ssi @jung-koook 💗 (i think that’s everyone 👀)

My engagement and output on Tumblr has gone through its ups and downs this year with life happening here and there, but nonetheless I have enjoyed my time on here this year 🥺. I got closer with friends I had made last year, I got new friends, got to try out new things on the giffing front, and got to see so many amazing creations ✨! So truthfully, I am very grateful for everyone that engages in the community in whichever way they want which is why I am still here. Also thank you to anyone who has supported my content, I have had times where I was anxious of posting again after a break, but it has always been a welcoming space once I got back 🥰 I definitely didn’t post as much as I wanted to this year (though there’s a bunch of gifs I made that I never posted 😩) but I am happy with what I did do, something is better than nothing 🥺

☁️ JANUARY most popular: Namjoon on VLive Being Tricked with the “close eye and poke cheek” ‘dare’ | 3.5k favourites: Namjoon Season Greetings 2021 Looks Comp , Namjoon on VLive updating us on the status of his snow duck maker ↪ okay in hindsight I actually like the colouring for the sg 2021 comp, I definitely think I popped off (dare I say top 3 of my colourings this year 👀), I’m gonna need to find my psd for those gifs. Joon telling us that he broke the snow duck maker is just suck a joon thing to do, so I find that moment very wholesome.

☁️ FEBRUARY most popular: Hobi Birthday comp | 3.5 k ↪ to this day I have no idea what I was trying to do with this bday comp, but I’m not too mad at the result hehe favourites: Black Swan Performance on James Corden, Namjoon Comp Run BTS Episode 128, Hoseok Bday Week Event: 94 line friendship ↪ first off just looking at all these sets you will see how I don’t have one set colouring. But to this DAY I am VERY PROUD of what I managed to do with my colouring on for the black swan set, I can spend hours on colouring, which I did with this set, like 2,5 hours but the result was soooo worth it. The Joon run bts set didn’t only include funny moments, but I got many compliments on that colouring so I hold it dear to my heart. The 94 liner comp was one of the comps I enjoyed making the most this year, idk, Hobi and Joon’s friendship is just so wholesome like that.

☁️ MARS most popular & favourite: Yoongi Birthday Comp | 4.4 k ↪ Sooooo I literally posted two gifsets this month 🥴, and just like most of my bday comps I made it the day I was gonna post cause I like living on edge like that T^T, but I really liked the outcome, I let myself write whatever I wanted as captions for the gifs and used the word insanity too much, but what can I say?? IT’S YOONGI AFTER ALL

☁️ APRIL most popular & favourite: : Film out mv set | 1.6 k ↪ once again I posted 2 gif sets this month lol, but this one is another top 3 of my colouring this year. I shamelessly admire this set, cause I think I did a great job with the colours ^^

☁️ MAY most popular: Butter MV Elevator Dance Break | 8.1 k favourites: Namjoon x Rolling Stone , Namjoon at Butter Press Release , Seokjin Focus Butter Perf on Stephen Colbert ↪ For the rolling stone one I remember really enjoying the colouring process and the outcome, though it was a bit random tbh. The butter release gifs has the best quality gifs I’ve made this year, not in terms of colouring and stuff just sharpness and smoothness of the gifs, and I am GUTTED I did not save the psds. For the Jin gifs I just really loved his energy during this performance and enjoyed giffing it, plus Jin in a suit is always a sight 😍

☁️ JUNE most popular: BTS Intro Ment at Sowoozoo 2021 (day 1) | 4.4 k favourites: BTS anniversary set , Namgi moment on run bts , Namjoon being a certified hottie at sowoozoo 2021 ↪ the bangtan anniversary set was one of my experiments this year and I’m really happy with how it turned out, it took me a whileeee to make it but I managed (thank u jay for the mental support <3). Uhmmm the Namgi is a favourite because it’s a Namgi moment, and that is that! do I need to say more? I was, like everyone else, going through it when joon had yellow hair and the red top on, I am happy I still decided to make my own gifs after seeing all the other ones online, it was a worthwhile experience 😋

☁️ JULY most popular: Jin twitter video ( I forgot for what 😅) | 1.6 k favourites: Namjoon focus army playlist ↪ I just really loved the fit for the video and the color scheme for his portion of the video along with the props, just Namjoon being pretty basically, so of course it’s a favourite

☁️ AUGUST most popular: things you didn’t know about namjoon for billboard | 3.4 k favourites (okay there’s a few 😅): Namgi moments vanity fair interview , Namjoon wearing turtlenecks comp , Namjoon sowoozoo day 2 comp , Namjoon vs mint chocolate ↪ again with the crumbs I collect, anything namgi is directly a favourite <3, I have a strong love for turtlenecks so this comp was overdue just the whole process of making it was soooo fun and exciting I’m happy with the results. The sowoozoo set was my first trial with a new colouring for a while, where I was leaning into the reds and I liked the result more that I had expected and I still do so I guess it’s a success then. I am a big fan of mincho and having Joon hate it meant I had to compile all of his mincho slander, what can I say no man is flawless after all 🤷🏾‍♀️

☁️ SEPTEMBER most popular: Namjoon’s love of small things comp | 2.3k favourites: Namjoon bwl body roll comp , Namjoon birthday set ↪ Bwl body roll was one of the comps I had wanted to make for sometime, but finding good footage I could actually use was a hassle, but I am glad I went through with and now I cherish the comp. What I actually posted for Joon’s bday was very unplanned, I had started on a gfx which I wasn’t happy with, so I decided to whip up something with colours based on this infinity stone inspired set I had made last year, so I played a bit with fonts and colours and I am quite happy with the outcome ^^

☁️ OCTOBER

Ya girl was MIA, head deep into thick textbooks 😭

☁️ NOVEMBER Still MIA, but anon did make me post one gifset most popular: Hoseok x Dionysus Gayo Daechukje 2019 | 996 ↪ it was fun to gif performance gifs after a bit of time but god the lightning was annoying

☁️ DECEMBER Also MIA, but back for the last 6 days of the year 😂 most popular: Namjoon vogue korea behind | 1.8k favourite: the popular above, Hoseok at PTD on stage ↪ For the vogue korea gifs I spent some time trying to get rid of the yellow light and I DID IT!!! and the way the skintone turned out is just to my liking so I’m very happy with the set even though it’s a bit inconsistent. I just love that part of the concert like Hobi’s energy is just top notch which made me feel like a bad b giffing him so 💆🏾‍♀️

tagging a lovely bunch 🌸 (if you already did this sorry 😅) : @honsool @inkedtae @supertunajin @jung-koook @joenns @taee @jaebam @yoongi-bts @eternal-bangtan / @bangtanger @chaylani @yoongikook @jihopes @hobibestboy @namjoonia @dee-ehn @yoon2k @kimnjss @vjimin @sugajimin @gwkie @gukgi @lyseries @junghosoks @taeyungie @jmin @jimint @jsuga @tanyoorine @namgination @hopekidoki

I know it's an unpopular opinion, but I always kinda wondered if jikook had at least a little something to do with the talks of disbandment in 2018. My thinking was pretty simple: the members strive for authenticity, and I can imagine it being difficult for all 7 of them having to hide a romantic relationship between 2 members.

2020 went a long way to convincing me that the way JK and JM are presented/represented together was an issue during talks of whether or not to resign with bighit. simply because, given everything that has happened (the pandemic, tour cancellation, less unscripted content) 2020 marked an ENORMOUS shift in the way Jikook are presented.

I mean, plenty of lists have been made of all the 👀👀👀 moments of 2020, but I think people don't always appreciate the difference from years past. For the most part, pre2020 jikook moments were relegated to vlives, fancams, and background/behind the scenes content, mostly errant comments and touches that seemed a too intimate and familiar. GCFTokyo, GCFSaipan, and things like the black and white couple performance from Festa 2018 seemed loud at the time, but at the end of the day it was content made for fans and people easily dismissed it.

Jikook post 2020 is not so easily dismissed. More and more BigHit seems to be presenting them as a couple. Showing them laying down to sleep together in an SNL performance of Home then suggesting they woke up together in couple pajamas in an MV for a title track. Rosebowl went from a fancam everybody loved to deny and debunk to the centerpiece of the trailer for memories 2019 in 2020. Christmas Dynamite, MMA Black Swan, even those adorable Baskin Robbins and Tokopedia ads. Then there's I was with Jungkook 👀

And this hickey?? This hickey that did not have to be shown or commented on, that could've easily been ignored, was proudly displayed and EXPLAINED.

One last thing: Jin added more context to their disbandment discussions in that shady BB article, and I found it interesting that the members were talking about parting ways with BigHit, not each other. Which makes me think that they wanted BigHit to change.

I just don't think it's crazy to think that the difference in jikook's presentation could be one of the changes that the members wanted.

🌶️

Cont./ I'd just also like to say how happy I am that BigHit and NJ are acknowledging the "save namjoon from jikook" meme 😆

I don't think joon wanted to hide anymore either 😂🤣

🌶️

Pepper anon, I think there is a difference between them thinking of disbandment and the renewal of the contracts with BH. Yes, they coincided and there might be a little of an overlap, but I don't think that they are one and the same.

One of them is them thinking "do we go on?", while the other is "under what terms are we willing to go on?".

The "where to from now as a band?" can be an overlap for both.

But do you see the difference here anon?

I did talk about the 2018 thoughts of disbandment in my post here:

They started 2018 totally worn out. Feelling maybe they have reached their peak and finding it hard to continue. I think this was a personal question each and every one of them asked themselves. "Do I go on?", "is this worth the price I am paying?" (JK's lost youth, for example), "is there another path I want to take?"

As to the renewal of the contracts, once they decided they wanted to continue as a matter of principal, that's when the questions arose under what conditions are they willing to do so, and here I do think that Jikook did have a say as to "where to from now" when it comes to their representation in the content.

The feel is that since 2019 there is more Jikook showing up in official content. I'm sure there is plenty that ends up on the editing floor, but there seems to be a shift in how they are being presented, what is allowed into the official content.

Memories 2019, Melon 2020 black swan, Dynamite holiday mix, Season greetings 2020, Memories 2020 and now MOTS ONE dvd. Yes, at times there feels to be a pull back, but I think this is because the company feels the need to remind the fans once in a while that BTS is not only Jikook, and to also calm the stormy waters that follow every time something big comes out with Jikook. But, there is a noticeable shift. RB finding it's way into official content had a logical explanation perhaps, one that we kept giving time and time again - the whole hiding in plain sight, adding it to the content because it was already out there. We forget on the way all the other Jikook moments that found their way into memories 2019.

We thought we hit the jackpot with memories 2020.

But hickey-gate, well that's a new level. No fancams out there that the company has no choice but to address that hickey. A hickey that not one of us would have known of if it wouldn't have made it's way into the dvd. A dvd that is edited and approved by the company and the members. JK & JM's SM posting on day of release after it blew up on SM only confirms they knew it was coming, were ready for the storm and reacted to it.

Note

being honest i dont get jm using a award to say he misses tannie... we don’t know 90% of their lives but they are very close to the point of still sleeping together sometimes. and going deep if they were really a couple jm woudnt miss taes dog right? and even as friends he could visit it. unless its because of their schedule right... this kind of comment sometimes confuses me and haters will use it as “they arent close” lol. i just wanted to know your pov.

Judging by Admin 2's reaction, as well as some others in our asks, I have a feeling I was the only one with a more realistic expectation, or lack of expectations, as I waited for the BTS profiles to be posted. Based on last year's, I knew expecting something grand out of Tae, and especially Jimin, would just be me setting myself up for failure, which is what I think happened here.

But, let's discuss it.

I spent a solid couple of hours making an excel table last night that contains everything every member said about every member (sourcing 3 translators for maximum insight) to see if really what Jimin chose for Tae is so "bad" that suddenly people are sending us asks like this one, and another one I'll add later down the line. And the conclusion I've come to is that...what he gave to Tae, as well as Hobi and Seokjin, as awards are the only ones that have any actual emotional/personal connection to them.

With Namjoon and JK Jimin basically states the obvious--Namjoon is tall and JK has gained muscle mass, meaning nothing new or with a proper emotional connection was stated; to Yoongi he made the same request many other members have made, so a work connection, nothing inherently personal.

Now, compared to that--Seokjin teases him/them, which isn't new info, so Jimin asked him to stop or do it less, a valid request which I'm sure he also voiced to Seokjin outside of this FESTA profile and also shows a degree of personal connection; Hobi gets requested to not walk away after asking Jimin a question, which again shows a personal connection and that it's a reoccurring thing; and lastly Tae with Tannie.

Something I've noticed is that some ARMY, who are used to our western celebrities and draw conclusions about idols based on those parameters, forget that BTS are busy, like whatever you consider busy, take that and multiply it by ten. During his vlive with Hobi and Yoongi back in April, Tae said that they are much busier and their lives far more hectic than any of us realize. Taking that into account, and the fact that one of the members (I think it might have been Seokjin) mentioned they work at least ten hours a day for 360 days a year with practice, MV and CF filming, photoshoots, interviews, recording and working on music, meetings, and many other things we have no idea about, do you really think Yeontan lives with Tae full time? A dog needs to get walked and fed but if Tae is out of the house every day for at least ten hours, what would happen to Tannie? He'd just sit around at home alone all day which just isn't fair, so I'm sure Tannie lives with Tae's parents much the same way Micky lives with Hobi's parents and/or his sister, JKs dog lives with his family, Holly lives with Yoongi’s brother, Moni with Namjoon's, and years ago Seokjin had to give his sugar gliders to his parents because he was too busy to take care of them.

Based on that of that, I'm not sure how often Tae get's to see Tannie. Probably not all that often, to be honest. So, if Tannie's owner doesn't get to see him often, I'd assume Jimin gets to see him even less (if we work on the assumption that Tannie lives with Tae's parents and thus Tae could only really see him when visiting them or when they visit him, that means Jimin wouldn't be able to see Tannie just like that either, since that would be like intruding on family time, right?). And we know Jimin loves Tannie, so him using that award to say he misses him and is asking about him shows care and an emotional connection to Tannie. Do I think Jimin also asks Tae privately about Tannie? Absolutely. And still, while Jimin didn't give Tae the, I don't know, "hot body Award" like Yoongi did with Namjoon or the "person I love most in the world award" (which we should know by now would never happen, and if you expected something of that intensity level, than I'm sorry but you've set yourself up for disappointment from the start), he still drew a personal and emotional connection between himself and Tae, as well as the pet Tae loves dearly.

More below the cut:

Jimin could’ve asked about the other pets of the members, but he didn’t, he only ever really talked about Tannie, and here he does it again, so doesn’t that show that he has a bond with him, a closer one than the other members since they don’t/didn’t ask about him (except for Hobi that one time on weverse)?

Speaking of Hobi, am I the only one who finds it interesting and cute that he only drew little hearts for Jimin and Tae when writing down their awards?

Also, we have to remember that these profiles are for us, fan content (remember when Jimin asked Tae last year to post more pictures of Tannie on weverse because ARMY miss seeing him, so what if this is drawing a connection/parallel to that?), and not meant as the members “confessing” something to each other that they otherwise wouldn’t or don’t have the chance to do so. It’s not meant to be all that serious and instead just be fun and nice for us to read, show us a bit of their dynamic and that’s it, no world shattering revelations to be found, from any of them. Or do you really think Yoongi doesn’t like Jimin just because he told Jimin he’s trying too hard to be funny? It’s just part of their dynamic. Or that none of the members have anything else to say to JK besides commenting on his body/appearance? As for vmin, I’d like to remind us of this moment from their Friends subunit interview for FESTA 2020:

Whatever Jimin and Tae want to say to each other, they don’t need FESTA to do it, or us to be there as witnesses. Like Tae didn’t already say enough by telling us that 95z is love. Or Jimin by writing Friends.

From anon: because of you I came back da Namjin. I am a senior army and 2 years ago I left Namjin because I thought they broke up. You made me three Vmin but after what JK wrote about Jimin and after Jm himself about his chances I think that vmin are not together or Jimin withdrew. I think Jk would not dare to write about Jm that he has cute fingers etc if vmin were a relationship. it goes too far and confuses Jk too much. I don't want to say that J / k*ok is real because it certainly isn't !!!!

Now this is where I just sit and sigh heavily because it’s exactly what I expected and I will admit it irks me to no end. Let’s establish a little timeline:

Based on the FESTA Mission! BTS 4 Cuts Teaser that was posted earlier we can deduce that at least part of FESTA was already being prepared back in the first half of March, since on March 12th Jimin, Namjoon and Seokjin had their salad making vlive. Let’s suppose that everything FESTA related was prepared and written out by the members around that time as well. Sometime later BTS filmed YOU QUIZ followed by LET’S BTS and BTSxGame Caterers and everything else we’ve seen after that.

Or going a little further back to sometime in November 2020 while they were preparing for MMA 2020 and the Black Swan performance. We got the practice video today and if you pay attention to Jimin and Tae even there you notice that while Tae is waiting for his turn in the choreography, Jimin runs past him after his part is done (0:55) and they pat each other or do a “high five” or something along those lines as a way to cheer each other on. A very “we’re broken up” or “I will break up with him soon” thing to do, right? Or in min-January when Tae posted seven pictures out of which three were of just Jimin after an ARMY on weverse asked if anyone had any nice pictures they could use as wallpaper for their phone. Between all that I’m having a hard time honestly finding any moment where either of them seemed sad or “cold” toward the other the way you would be and feel if the person you love pulled away from you or broke up with you.

If you are still unconvinced and still think that is what Jimin tried to communicate to us, would Tae really have gone on national TV and said he likes Jimin the most? And would Jimin have agreed that he likes him a lot as well? Or looking at the making video of their Kloud Beer CF that was posted today as well, would Jimin really be looking and interacting with Tae this way if he decided to end things between them?

Also, going back a little, your mention of Jimin reflecting upon opportunities/chances now that it’s a new year. My question is based on what you made the judgment that this comment has to be about vmin and not about something entirely different in Jimin’s life, or maybe something connected to BTS as a whole? Just because of him asking Tae about Tannie? Jimin, as well as Tae and the other members, have entire lives outside of just their bonds with each other, entire careers, passion projects, families, friend groups, and that little bit of time they have to themselves, so immediately thinking Jimin’s comment must be related to his relationship/bond with Tae basically makes it seem like Jimin’s life is a romcom or a TV show in which the only thing that matters is if the main character will date or remain in a relationship with character B or not, but life isn’t like that.

Personally it reminded me of something Tae said during their Bring the Soul documentary about how BTS had the opportunities to go higher faster but they decided against them. Perhaps Jimin’s comment was about something like this as well, especially since we know Jimin is a very private person and very selective of the personal things he shares with us and the ones he doesn’t.

For the FESTA profile JK decided to give Jimin the “Cute Award” with the explanation that his “Face, height, fingers are cute” which, honestly, is just saying something that a) is true and b) has been said in millions of ways by every member across the last couple of years. I don’t see what the issue here is? During one of the episodes of BTSxGame Caterers Seokjin said that Jimin is very cute and that he has a small, beautiful face, so really he even added the word beautiful in there, which JK did not, so what really is the issue here? The fact its JK, right, that’s where the issue lies, to which I ask why? On this blog we’ve already established that there is (in our opinion and based on everything we’ve seen and heard) no romantic connection between JK and Jimin (nor Tae), not now and not in the past either, so why is him saying that Jimin is cute (which he is known for even by people outside of ARMY, or like James Cordon calling him his cute baby mochi) is an issue but Seokjin or any other member is not? Either we use the same measurements for everyone or we don’t compare or make such assumptions about any of them.

What I find curious, because this does make it seem like you, anon, are someone influenced by J*k*ok shippers and their opinions, see an issue in JK saying that about Jimin, and how that’s “proof” that Jimin and Tae can’t possibly be together, and yet you took no issue to Namjoon basically saying he wants to give Tae an award because he is so handsome he is above every list or Yoongi comparing him to Michelangelo's David, both of these being much more superlative and grand complements/awards than JK saying Jimin’s face, height and fingers are cute.

It’s funny how things that Jimin and Tae have said about and to each other that make their bond very clear (I want to live with my lovely Taehyungie forever or here is my love for you while handing Tae a bunch of red heart balloons or 95z is love, a statement I’m sure he wouldn’t post if that sentiment weren’t mutual) are all questioned or ignored, but something as basically trivial as a comment about Jimin being cute is turned into a major issue. The mental gymnastics is fascinating.

Lastly, going back to the first anon and their mention of how haters will use Jimin’s Award for Tae as “proof” that they “aren’t close anymore”--why do we care? Like Namjoon said in the Mic Drop lyrics Haters gon’ hate. They will say a lot of things about a lot of things and even make things up if they feel like it to push their agenda, so really, regardless of what Jimin would’ve said, or not said, they would’ve found a way to twist it and make it fit their narrative. Besides, what haters think has no actual effect or bearing on what Tae and Jimin have with each other, and neither does what other shippers claim. Haters and other shippers don’t control the narrative, BTS do, and everything Jimin and Tae have shown us in 2021, as well as the last eight years, shows me that their bond has only ever grown stronger and closer and more beautiful and awe inspiring, even while haters claimed they stopped being friends years ago, so why should you or I care what they think?

Like Yoongi once said in one of his vlives about how haters can write all they want, he won’t read it while they will get sued.

(j-hope 'Airplane' MV; March 6, 2018.)

III. THE UNDERWORLD

There’s a recurring motif in the works of several East Asian artists that I’ve noticed: that of the airplane and the transpacific flight.

Even as young Indonesian rapper Rich Brian recalls all of his initial struggles in moving to the U.S., he repeats four times throughout his song, “Flight,” that “flyin' 20 hours never felt so right.”

Higher Brothers, a group of Chinese rappers, also draw attention to the physical journey they made to get to where they are in “16 Hours,” the first track on their second album, Five Stars.

BTS describes the same journey in J-Hope’s solo song, “Airplane,” and the group’s sequel to that, “Airplane pt.2.”

While Rich Brian and Higher Brothers spend a majority of their respective songs navigating the difficulties of the new world they’ve entered, J-Hope lingers in the plane itself. It’s a dreamy perspective: “Every day above the clouds,” he sings. “My feel above the clouds, check it above the clouds.”

(j-hope 'Airplane' MV; March 6, 2018.)

“Airplane pt.2” continues this sense of never quite touching down. “From NY to Cali, London to Paris.... From Tokyo, Italy, Hong Kong to Brazil,” the chorus never settles in a final destination.

Where “Airplane” loves the journey, “Airplane pt.2” is more difficult to place. It’s a song about BTS’s success as a result of the vehicle, with each rap verse tackling a different aspect.

RM’s rap verse takes on the temporary nature of flights and overseas trips. When you’re constantly traveling, there’s nothing to ground you or give a sense of consistency. There’s only the anonymous “hotel rooms” that exist “wherever in the world we go,” always doing the “same work.” Each destination could be swapped out for the last with no distinction. This anxiety develops into fears about their career (“One day it works out too well, then the next day I’m completely screwed”) and about his personal identity (“Who should I live as today, Kim Namjoon or RM?”).

By contrast, J-Hope’s rap verse continues the theme of “Airplane.” While RM dreads the repetition of the taxing flights, J-Hope revels in them. For him, being up in the air is a time for him to turn on “airplane mode” and “turn off all the concerns.” He doesn’t think of the destination, only the journey.

Suga’s rap verse is also focused on the flight itself, but he takes a more aggressive perspective. The many flights they undergo are just proof of their success--or as he puts it, “My passport is about to die from overworking.” Their careers are difficult (“I don’t know... how to stop”; “I don’t know... how to take some rest”) but they remain on top: “I don’t know... how to fail.”

Airplane

Orpheus is the great transgressor, the one who dares to make the journey that few Greek heroes ever can. The impossible quest of entering the Underworld even has a specific name--the katabasis.

Crossing oceans, even by plane, is no easy feat. Not only are the hours long (as Rich Brian and Higher Brothers helpfully point out), but the destination isn’t necessarily friendly. Eastern culture and Western culture can be vastly different, in manner as much as in language and food.

If the transpacific flight is to be taken as BTS’s modern-day katabasis, then it should be noted that there are key differences between their journey and Orpheus’s. For one, BTS frequently make this flight. For another, America isn’t exactly Hell.

But it is interesting that both BTS and Orpheus use the journey as an opportunity to display their power.

youtube

BTS and Lil Nas X performing “Seoul Town Road,” RM’s collaboration with Lil Nas X to remix the latter’s hit, “Old Town Road,” at the 2020 Grammy Awards.

When Ovid recounts Orpheus’s katabasis, he takes care to mention Orpheus’s influence over the Underworld as he sings for Hades and Persephone. His music “[makes] the pale phantoms weep”--phantoms who have already been tortured for ages, but are still moved by his song. Even the Furies, demon-goddesses of punishment, weep for “the first time ever in all the world.” Though Orpheus does not come from the Underworld, something about his music resonates with its occupants.

It is because of this feat that Orpheus is considered one of the greatest mythic figures of all time. Not many heroes have the chance or desire to enter the Underworld. Hercules, Odysseus, Aeneas (a mythic founder of Rome), and Orpheus are some of the few to do so, and Orpheus’s technique of using music to essentially tame the Underworld makes him unique among them. Hercules, the notorious strongman, forces his way in; Odysseus stays on the surface and merely brings the dead to him to converse; and Aeneas journeys through the Underworld but takes nothing from it.

While each hero is able to show his skill and bravery by emerging successful, Orpheus is the only musician among them, thereby proving that he is the greatest, most heroic musician in mythology. Who else could move Hades and Persephone to such pity that they could lack the “harshness to refuse him?” Certainly no one else has ever tried.

The katabasis is what cements Orpheus’s position as the greatest musician in mythic history. In a way, world tours do something similar for BTS.

youtube

A preview for the purchasable DVD recording of BTS’s 2019 São Paulo concert.

Their performance in São Paulo, Brazil, features an extraordinary amount of confetti and streamers, a multitude of fireworks, possibly water-jets, and definitely Jungkook suspended in the air encircling the stadium--a spectacle on the level of Disney and far-removed from anything the Superbowl could ever hope to put on. It’s a huge display for a group who claim to be “seven normal boys from Korea.”

Concerts and promotional tours are an impressive avenue to give fans the interaction that they crave, even if most can only watch them after the fact through a screen. But they’re also a tool for BTS to prove, over and over again, why they’re the K-pop group that’s always trending on Twitter, being invited to the Billboard Music Awards, getting their own special take-over on Jimmy Fallon’s “The Tonight Show,” and breaking records on YouTube. Many would believe BTS deserve to be there because they are the best, just as Orpheus deserves to be lauded as the greatest mythic musician-hero.

As RM, J-Hope, and Suga all recognize in “Airplane pt.2,” traveling around the world has become an essential part of their job. Their passports may look impressive, but it’s all just a day’s work to ensure they remain at the top of the music charts. Everything they do when they travel is to promote their group. Their recent trip to L.A. in early 2020, for example, had them doing a show with James Corden, rehearsing for and performing at the Grammys, and filming their music video for “Black Swan,” all in under two weeks.

Additionally, the simple fact that their music, which is sung and rapped overwhelmingly in Korean, is listened to worldwide is strange. Most people wouldn’t even dream of listening to a song in a language they don’t understand, but “ON,” a song from Map of the Soul: 7, entered the Billboard Hot 100 at #4, becoming the first K-pop song to break the top five on that list. Billboard chart rankings are specific to the United States, a country that doesn’t have a particularly large Korean-speaking population.

That BTS could succeed so thoroughly in a region that shouldn’t be particularly receptive to their music is a powerful, transgressive act.

It’s one thing to be successful in Korea, like the lesser-known but well-respected older groups SHINee and Wonder Girls, and it’s another to be the object of affection of the entire world.

Even John Cena, the pro-wrestler-turned-universally-beloved-personality, loves BTS. When asked by James Corden why he does, Cena answered, “They’re a Korean pop band, and they were the first Korean pop band to actually connect everyone throughout the world.”

A frequent claim that ARMY makes is that “BTS paved the way.” When an interview with Monsta X released on April 27, 2020, the group didn’t explicitly mention BTS when asked why they thought K-pop was so popular--and “BTS PAVED THE WAY” soon began trending on Twitter in retaliation.

A screenshot of Twitter trends on April 27, 2020.

Orpheus’s katabasis has persisted in the cultural consciousness in a more lasting way than those of other ancient heroes. BTS has gained more attention than other Korean artists.

Though neither Orpheus nor BTS are the sole champions in the endeavors they undertook, both are venerated above their peers.

My Thoughts While Watching Memories 2020 Disc 4

Continuing my thoughts as I watch memories 2020 as requested. Again, most of these are just random thoughts, 70% of them started out as texts to @1imstillme3 that I'm copy/pasting over. I'm loving getting to watch all the behind content so far! This again, isn't even close to everything that happened in each of these videos, just some parts that stood out to me and made me smile. If you don't want any memories spoilers or to see what happens in the clips, stop reading now! Lol Disc 4 was long, so it's just the one Disc this time!

Dynamite MV Making Film:

NamGi dancing for their scene together was the cutest thing, their giggles. Yoongi and the basketball. I love him. And then Jungkook just telling us "no matter what you do, you need to have the spirit to challenge yourself" protect him forever please.

Jimin summoning Jungkook for demerits and punishment at the deans office for breaking a light during the Dynamite MV shoot 🤣 the light that only got broken because JinKook were fighting over who gets to sit where apparently 😂 I don't know if I should giggle at Jinkook or side eye Jimins choice of role-play here.

Tae slapping JKs chest multiple times to get JK to focus and pay attention for them all to end day 2 with a fighting to the camera. But it takes multiple hits because JK was watching Jimin laughing and smiling 🥺🥺 None of the members except Tae were really giving the camera any attention here. Lol he just wanted everyone to focus please and thank you 😂

Namjoon saying that you could be reported for acting like he did in the record store in a real store in Korea so don't do it. Lmao no loitering please 😂 He is so precious.

Tae having a crisis over picking sunglasses and JinKook just fighting each other the entire time in the background. And another case of the Tannies giving Tae everything he wants. "If Tae says we go again, we all go again, no worries TaeTae baby" They love him 🥺

They didn't show us any behind clips of jikook after Jimin jumped on his back for the piggy back ride and I'm so sad because I'm sure that was a giggly cute mess of a reaction!

Dynamite Dance Practice Making Film:

Jimin starting off practice by singing Dynamite to Hobi, flirting with JK, vmin hugging as their Dynamite entrance. Hobi helping Yoongi correct a dance move, RM helping Jimin with flowing smoothly over the English lyrics. Jimin rapping Yoongis part. Just so much fun for Day 1.

Day 2 started with chaos. NamKook crawling all over the floor and running into Jimin. Jimin copying JK as he practices his opening dance. Jimin having too much energy and Goofing off. JK just watching him fondly before joining in and doing their weird lift move that even left the editors confused and had Hobi giggling. Ending with Jin hanging off JKs back, with his arm shaking from the effort of keeping himself up there as JK laughs. Lol Vmin warming up by Tae beat boxing and Jimin dancing to it. JK singing while laying face first on the group. Namjoon yelling. Why are they like this??

Final day ends with Anpanman practice too. Tae is wearing his shirt all tucked in so JK can't wave it around like he normally does. So he instead all cutesy plops his head down onto Taes shoulder to get into the selca (video?) that Tae was taking at the start. They were so busy. Doing Dynamite, boy with luv, anpanman, black swan and idol practices! Idol was full of so many giggles and smiles as they practiced. I loved it

Grammy Press Play & 2020 MTV Awards Making Films:

I've yet to see a video from memories so far that hasn't had some type of JinKook sparring moment. Lol JK tapped his butt, Jin responded with a punch, and then off they went as Jimin stood in the middle of them just trying to do some vocal warm ups. Lmao Everyone else: getting ready for the performance. Jungkook: pretending to swim underneath the stage.... whatever makes you happy

Tae, Jungkook and Hobi giggling over Tae's over the top moves in the performance and taekook watching the playback to giggle over it more

Yoongi playing the guitar, JK saying he always hears the guitar at sets now. He says that he will start painting as his new hobby and sell his paintings and donate 50% of the profits. Lmao imagine the killing he would make if he ever decided to do that for real

TaeTae struggling with the spice in their food and the way he side eyes Namjoon for having no problems with it. Lmao we know they normally have similar tastes in food with spice levels. The way Tae doubled down to eat it anyway though. And Joonie playing right along with the CEOs at a bar skit Tae started 🥺

They kill every performance they do. Honest to goodness. Hobi had all of one line in Dynamite and yet Dynamite Hobi was a whole cultural reset. He owned this era and shined!

Today Citi Music Series Making Film:

Namjoon calling Yoongi his Uparupa. STOP 😭 he proceeded to introduce the members by animal (?) Jin as an alpaca, then Jungkook was introduced as our Muscle Man. Hobi as their baby horse dancer, Tae was introduced as "our unscientific, we call him V" I don't know what that means. Lol and then he called Jimin his puppy. He claimed Yoongi and Jimin as his though 😭 even though his puppy was too busy to play. Man. We aren't even 2 minutes into this video and I am SOFT.

Do you remember Tae recommending ARMY jobs on Weverse? Turns out he was roping all the members into helping with that too. Jungkook twice at first, then Hobi, then RM, then Jin 🥺🥺 so funny and so cute. Technically all those ARMYs got noticed by all the members too then

"We are friends who shed hot sweat together" Well alright then. Lmfao okay Jin! Interesting way to say that

JK running around popping all the prop balloons with goofy jumps and punches and jabs with the needle in his hand is the cutest thing. He had such a good time!

2020 iHeartRadio Music Festival Making Film:

Kookie saying he wants the Dynamite lights. JHope replying that "you can hang them up in YOUR home" honestly, anyone who thinks they still live together is simply lying to themselves. Lol I truly hope this isn't something to be debated about anymore. It's increasingly obvious over and over again.

The hand holding of Jimin and Jungkook where they twirled around each other? Lmao the caption was "hand holding and swirling. Jimin and Jungkook's friendly way of warming up" 🤣🤣 Then editors judging Namjoon for doing Burpees before their performance to warm up 🤣🤣 "who does burpees as a warm up??"

V showing off new dance steps to Hobi and looking at him all proud for his reaction 🥺 why are they the cutest

Jikook talking about their old bus routes in Busan and Jin just trying to start shit about being taller than Jimin but getting ignored 😂JK forcing his way onto the hood of the car to sit with Jin and then reviewing the choreo in tiny together 🥺 Followed by 3J cracking themselves up by taking bad and silly photos of RM and Jin through the screen while they shot their extra scenes 😂🤣

Reviewing Spring Day footage, JK starts imitating Tae's singing voice sending maknae line into giggle fits together 🥺 Everyone talked about the moment where Jimin called JK pretty with the petals in his hair (yes, I agree. I melted) but why did I never notice the sweet staff member giving Hobi a shoulder massage right next to them 🥺

Tae once again asking Jiminie to help him with an acrobatic move. Lmao I love them. And in all the bts chaos, the tiny makeup Noona is absolutely in charge. Stopping Jimin from continuing just by standing in front of him with her comb for his hair. 😂

14 hours?! To shoot 4 songs!! Omfg they work so hard 😭

Grammy Museum: The Drop & NPR Tiny Desk Making Film:

Jikook staring at Tae who is singing facing the back wall for some reason during rehearsals 😂Jimin hyping us his bestie with the biggest grin as Tae nails the ending notes for Dynamite 🥺 RM kneeling and holding his hands out as Tae sings it too. They love him!!

Hobi pointing out Halseys LP record while they are getting ready for NPR "saying it's our friend, Halsey" all proud 🥺

HopeKook literally decided to harmonize that part on Save Me on NPR legit right before they recorded the songs. WHY ARE THEY SO TALENTED?!

3J being the first ones to get up and dance during Save Me rehearsals. Jungkook looking right at Jimin before doing exaggerated dance moves with the Save Me choreo and making Jimin giggle was so cute. Then Vmin scooting their chairs back and turning them around the watch the band rehearse their spring day parts too. I love how much they enjoy their band!

I love Yoongi. That's it. That's the note. That's all he needs to do is exist and I'm in total awe of him. Sigh....

AGT Making Film:

Hobi was so worried about Namjoon shooting on the roof for AGT. lol said he was worried because it was Namjoon up there. 😂 Yoongi just standing pretty patiently waiting for his lines on the hood of the car 😍😂

Jimin directing the head bopping from JK, Jin and Hobi that'll be happening behind him for his part when I never even knew they were back there at all during the performance 🙈 I was way too focused on Jiminie the whole time. Honestly though, I also had a very hard time not looking at Hobi through this whole video segment.

Taking a break for food and Jimin just taking like 10 photos of Yoongi eating dying over his cuteness the whole time. Relatable, Jimin. So Relatable. I get it. Lol also JK feeding Jiminie, so cute. JinMin continually photobombing JK is my favorite 😂🤣 They filmed AGT performance in 2.5 hours at 1 in the morning 😭 I'm glad they gave them such yummy snack breaks at least. They work soooo hard.

The Tonight Show BTS WEEK Making Film:

1 minute into the tonight show filming. Home is first. Jimin starts us off. And when it's RMs turn the captions say "RM has appeared in Jimin's dream." At the end, They asked whose home it was, JK asked if it was Hobi hyungs home? RM said no, it's Jimin's home. Jimin said "isn't it my home?" And they ended with "Jimin will clean this up since it's his home" 🤣 Still interesting that while some didn't know, and it was obviously a joke, the producers and editors, RM and Jimin too, all seemed well aware it was being portrayed as Jimins home and his dreams as we went through the house and song. And in Jimins dream and in his home, it was Jikook in bed and house parties/couch cuddles with the members. 🤐🤐

Not them all trying to sneaky stick marshmallows to each other's clothes through the set!

Yoongi saying that he was remembering their early days and now they are performing at Gyeongbokgung palace 🥺😭

Not TaeJin saying RM should change his name to Bathroom Monster or Rap Toilet because he always goes to the bathroom right when they are ready to start shooting 😭😭🤣🤣🤣 and then the way Jin tries to talk to the camera and you just hear No no no no from the back before HopeKook come running into the frame and start trying to take over the camera angle. And while they end up bickering, Tae ends up just walking off with it and talking to us instead 🤣 Why are they like this??

Jungkook playing with skates. "Ah, this should fit Jimin" please they are always on each other's mind! Tae smiling at Jimin as he cleans the floor for his Dynamite intro and Jimin looking so so fond back at him 🥺 Vmin please

The skating chaos ending with everyone is exhausted but Jimin and jungkook are still having fun with the skates. And it cuts to them skating super fast around the rink together with big smiles and giggles. It's always them staying late and continuing the fun things together and just loving life together 🥺🥰😍 Jimin ending with a cool spin. Jungkook copying him. And then Tae praising Jimin and telling him how cool his spin was and asking him to show him again. And Jimin showing him again to more praise before they start getting told that shooting with skates is over. Lol they are so sweet.

They were getting ready for black swan and it was MIDNIGHT. They work so late. Midnight though on Namjoons birthday, so all getting ready progress halted for everyone to tell him happy birthday and sing to him. Hobi gave hugs and vmin gave him kisses 🥺🥺 Jimin reaching around and over and through the 3 makeup noonas surrounding him and trying to continue to get him ready to keep a hand on Namjoon sitting next to him and tell him happy birthday again 🥺🥺🥺 which probably wasn't helpful for them, but it was cute. Lmao

Jin giggling over getting to tell Hobi he saw him make a mistake in the Black Swan choreo instead of it being the other way around. Lmao 2seok is so cute, I cannot.

The jikook black swan back hug gets me everytime 🥰 But the very end of the video is literally BTS dog piling BTS in jumping hugs shouting happy birthday 🥺🥰 I love them!

Radio.com Live Making Film:

Lmao starts right off with preparing for Dynamite and Namjoon randomly yelling at Jimin saying that the High pitch on Dynmaite is his fault and Jimin getting all confused. Yoongi practicing guitar anywhere and everywhere in the middle of Bangtan chaos makes me so soft.

Jimin checking out JK working out, literally leaning all the way around Namjoon to watch him for a second, before joining the NamKook workout regime Jimin cutely tapping JKs chest during their Dynamite part to get his attention and the editors using couple slang as a caption for them (꽁냥 꽁냥 = gong-yang ggong-nnyang) which basically just means when a couple has cute and adorable behaviors towards each other. But then off setting that with the caption at the bottom saying "best friends" lmao

Jimin warming up by doing crawling push ups across the floor as Namjoon shouted encouragements from the side with a giant proud smile on his face 🤣😂 this crawling warm up all over memories is cracking me up

Hobi getting insanely excited and happy while rolling around on a skateboard and picking up his coffee. I love him. He followed that up by going to go bug Jimin. Lol Jimin trying to play games on his phone and Hobi just wants to take a million pictures of him.

The "they look especially close today" caption when Jimin went in for a kiss still gets me 😂 and The clip of the camera going back and forth between jikook and they make silly faces? Hobi was filming that one! And it ended with a zoom in on RM joining in on the camera silliness 🥺 so cute.

Yoongi looked so fond and smiled so cute at Tae as he was talking about the Billboard Music Awards during their ending mentions.

I'm loving memories so far! I've still got discs 5 - 7 to go. This again, is obviously not everything that happens, a lot happens! These are some of my thoughts over the moments that I noticed though. I can keep going as I watch more content with these posts if yall want. Hope you all have a wonderful day/night! 💜
