Life is such a wonderous thing. Please tell me, how could I’ve known that the crush of my childhood Terry Grandchester will come back to bite me in the ass as (I’m sorry, bad sentence lmao) Jeon Jungkook XDDD How?
i'm the worst kind of bts elitist, i insist dark & wild is their best album, i brag about liking the prologue mix of butterfly better, i'm the bitch crying about how shit butter is and how "i miss when they were hip hop"
"The day I'm free from all the negative thoughts, I'll set it as D-DAY and start all over again. I think of quitting music more than a hundred times a day. But when everyone comes together like this, I can do it. Because it makes me feel that making music is fun."
From those you heal through your music,
Happy birthday, Min Yoongi

We still don't know who the actress is right ? So I assume it's a dancer and they might be doing a diet dance or something in MV. Don't expect it to be Jimin's duet dance which had a meaning behind it lol... this will be just het stuff shoving down our throats..
You and who's throat???
Not gonna lie, your fixation on women in jikook's content is botherline- is it the female in there that make it het content or is he actively promoting hetersexuality through his MVs and and lyrics and lifestyle cos yall never consistent.
There he is dancing amongst a bunch of men of all kinds of sexuality but no, that doesn't make him gay at all. It's the one girl. The one girl that's there as prop that suddenly defines his sexuality.
Years and years of his choices, associations and expressions don't define him, no. Not at all. It's this commercial/ creative choice made by a bunch of directors, visual coordinators, marketing and advertising staff that suddenly defines him.
If so then can we agree that every single time he bulldozed Park Jimin into modeling for him in his GCFs was him promoting homosexuality too????
Like if all it takes to determine his sexuality and sexual political advocacy is featuring a female on his songs, then he, Lauv and Jimin are a three way gay minage with gay shackles deeply bound around them for making an MV with not a single female in there.
I try to be patient with some of you but I swear to God
Please go away. I do not sit with you on this table.
Here I am bursting with Joy over all the possible nods he's made to Jimin over the course of their relationship in this MV preview and praying to God on my knees it's exactly what I'm thinking and all you care about is- IS WHO??? GUURRRLLL BE SERIOUS
This didn't make you giggle??
Black Swan and Michael Jackson????
It didn't make your butt tingle once??
You have silicone in your butt don't you??
Cos as Namjoon said, Black Swan is basically Jimin's.
Never mind that the Jikook BLACKSWAN performance left the entire Kpop shook for years
And I'm Glad everyone thinks the dark wings concept is a symbol of a fallen angel- cool. But who did Jungkook himself say is a fallen Angel?
Don't get me started on Micheal Jackson and Jimin
Jimin has been consistently expressing his love and admiration of Micheal Jackson and hasn't hidden the influences Micheal has on him and his performances.
Case in point his MV for like crazy, go look at the MV for permission to dance, he moves like him he dresses like him- for crying out loud we call them THE BLACK AND WHITE COUPLE.
And here's the creme de la creme if it all.
You will love this one.
Look up, 0.24/0.25 mins of the Butter MV by bts.
Jungkook pulls the same dance move Jimin makes in 0. 06 of his standing next to you preview.
YOU WELCOME.
Chilee leave me alone and let me enjoy my jikook in peace. I am not perturbed by anything or anyone.
I am delulu and I stand on that business.
Let me bring out my favorite MJ gif cos I like to think Jungkook took inspiration from me too
At this point I don't think Jungkook is a copy cat anymore.
HE'S JUST WHIPPED AND THERES NO HOPE FOR HIM. HE'S GONE. NO HET THEORY WILL BRING HIM BACK FROM THIS GAY MOUNTAIN SAY YOUR GOOD BYES😔
No one can dance as smooth as jimin. No matter if the choreography is hard or simple he makes it look unique and interesting. I can watch him dancing for hours and still won't get bored.
Jimin (and Spring Day lol) was the reason I really got interested in BTS. I don't think I would've gotten into the group at all if he hadn't caught my attention the way he did. And one of the first things I noticed about Jimin and BTS as a whole, was their choreos. I honestly spent more time watching their dance practices and stage performances on repeat, than I did watching any other type of content. I was literally obsessed with their performances.
They all lost a lot of quality to their performances, tho. Both the group as a whole and each one of them. It never would've crossed my mind that some years later I would actually think of Jungkook as a bad dancer and as unimpressive as Taehyung, or as their group performances as lackluster. But here we are (we've been here since 2021).
The only one who didn't lose quality for me, is Jimin. I know he's changed and there's some missing energy that was there before the pandemic, but he was so hardworking even on simple choreos like butter and PTD. Going by FACE tho, I also think he's not really interested in doing "idol" type of dance, and he's been striving for something more complex and nuanced. I personally loved that about smf2 and like crazy. And I think the best part for me, besides his talent, is that he never gets boring. I'd watched smf2 dance practice and MV more than ten times and I was still noticing new things about it. I still don't fully grasp all nuances and ambiguity in like crazy. And I'm just talking about the choreography and his dancing. Like, this is not even taking into account the lyrics or song itself.
Jimin still embodies everything I used to love BTS the group for; dedication, grit, firm convictions, hardwork, sincerity and sensibility. And pure raw talent. No gimmicks or faking.
He really is unique. When you think of the kpop industry and how it's literally a machine mass producing the same type of songs, and choreos, and how they want everybody looking, dancing, singing, and acting the same way, Jimin has managed to set himself out for having a personal, irreplicable dance style and actually excelling at it.
May I asked what was it about Jimin that made you bias him and what changed?
Of course :)
The first video I saw was the Sirius XFM Butter video. He stood out to me because that hair is perfect.
So recognition led me to take more of Jimin in, I think. The actual MV for Butter and this look?!
I found this and it's still one of my favourite of all BTS looks:
I had a brief very brief flirt with Jikook too but basically early on, I was very into his flirty cutie looks. This sounds like I only appreciated him for his looks but I wasn't watching much content beyond tiktok algorithm which was naturally showing me all Jimin. Lachimolala, him falling off chairs. He's cute and irresistible.
What changed? This:
I've mentioned before I'm a former 1940s reenactor so I love pre-1960s music. I don't think I really got V to begin with... I kind of fell for the official bighit line that he's a childlike airhead but I was like HOLD ON. This guy isn't any of those things. Then Layover came out and to this day, it stands aside for me as smart and unique.
Taehyung speaks to me. His vibes are my vibes. This isn't a slight on Jimin. My thoughts on all of them have evolved. I've done loops around JK where I couldn't grasp what he was about to now basically biasing him almost as much as Tae. Normalise adapting your opinion as you learn more.
I think it's only recently that I've fully understood what a beautiful person Jimin is. I don't think you get the kind of regard he gets from them all without being pure hearted and loving the way he is.
And he gave us this, I'm forever grateful. 😂
Thanks anon! Have you had a haircut? It looks amazing.
June 18, 2023: Tae and Jungkook both are captured on film wearing the same shirt. It’s an ERL- White 'Kappa Sweetheart' T-Shirt. Tae wears the shirt during his personal time, when he attends Bruno Mars’ concert on June 18, 2023 with Wooga (it’s interesting he wore it on a day when he’d be publicly spotted wearing it, which indicates a statement and wanting to be linked to Jungkook wearing it). Jk wears the shirt while filming his “Seven” MV in Los Angeles, when he was shooting his train scene.
Remember, Jungkook had said if he wasn’t filming, he would’ve attended the concert.
It’s a genderless shirt, and it’s good to also remember that Jk’s lines in “Seven” are gender neutral. It’s also telling that Jk said, “The lyrics of Seven mean you want to be with the person you love all the time. Like the title of the song, from Monday to Sunday. The willingness to be with the love of my life every day is shown in this passionate serenade.” No, Jk didn’t write this song, but it’s still quite telling he explained the song by saying “love of MY life” - indicating there is a lover in his life - and once again he kept it gender neutral when he described the summer pop song. All of this is quite notable. And on a personal note, I find it so sweet that they find ways to stay connected, even when one of them is in another country.
Tae at the concert -
Jk in the “Seven” MV + HD photo from the Seven MV photo sketch -
In the short film for “Seven”, we can better see the (matching) shirt. I love that Jk is filmed wearing it next to a “wish you were here?” poster while the lyrics “You know night after night, I'll be lovin' you for seven days…” plays. What’s also noteworthy is the jacket he’s wearing is Celine ( Tae is a BA for Celine ).
The shirt is now sold out but it can be bought (if restocked) here - https://www.ssense.com/en-us/women/product/erl/white-kappa-sweetheart-t-shirt/13087701?gbraid=0AAAAAD9ouUvO1YKNZfX6jcpw33IJNjfXi&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIxafd8caNgAMVay7UAR2KTA8PEAQYAiABEgLQnPD_BwE ; Credit to @peachesminty9 for finding the information
Jk also wore Celine necklaces in the MV. I especially love that he wore the padlock Celine necklace with the Kappa sweetheart shirt he and Tae both own🥰As a couple people brilliantly said, and I agree (this is my opinion) it’s like he’s saying “the keeper of my heart/safely locked you in my heart.” It’s quite loud IMO.
This is speculative, but I still want to point out what others have noted. It seems like Tae was potentially hinting at Jk’s MV when he posted - as part of a series of photos he shared on his IG - the Molang Halloween candy keychain he was wearing after the Dream premier. It could be considered as a hint about the “Seven” MV because Jk (who’s emoji in the fandom is a bunny) pops out of a coffin in the MV, and the opening lyrics mention kissing a lover’s waist (in the photograph, the keychain dangles from Tae’s waist). I, personally, find this interesting, but please decide as you like.
Also something fun to note (and not necessarily Taekook related) is Jk’s funeral suit was created by Tailorable, a company that makes good quality, bespoke clothes.
Tailorable has a past with the group. This isn’t a comprehensive breakdown of all the times they’ve worn the brand, but this is a small summary. BTS wore Bespoke suits by Tailorable for their Butter performance at the AMAS 2021. They also wore their clothes for their cover on Time Magazine, and for their May 2022 visit to the White House.
While the group, and other members individually, have utilized Tailorable for official projects, what I want to point out is Tae is a frequent commissioner for Tailorable’s custom outfits, as seen in these photos below. This link may not mean anything as far as Taekook goes since BTS have utilized Tailorable in group, and individual, official activities, but I found it interesting enough to highlight that Tae clearly is a big fan and wears their clothes for other, varied occasions (his personal time in Vegas, with Wooga, for his Veautiful Days folio which was BTS’ personalized concepts, etc). You can decide relevancy, if any. I can understand why some see a link between Taekook because 1) the Kappa Sweetheart shirt and Celine jacket have clear, definite links and 2) Tae is personally a big fan of the brand (so it can be insinuated he suggested them for Jk’s MV), but to be honest, I’m not really sure if the Tailorable suit is relevant. It could be stylist choice, coincidence, personal preference or suggested to Jk. What I find important is the shirt and jacket. Still, I still wanted to preserve the information (for some reason my gut is telling me to), disclaim it and you can decide.
