One of the many examples of hypocrisy in this fandom is talking about Jungkook’s GCFs. People are jumping to cancel us when we dare to say GCFT is a love confession, saying stop disrespecting Jungkook’s hard work and using it for a ship and then they say this?
Could not have been any gayer, best confession of love in cinema history? 🫥 I will be never able to understand this.
The only explanation for the endless dismissing, ignoring and overlooking everything Jungkook and Jimin do and say has to be that those people see actually their bond is different, but so much different that it makes them uncomfortable. It’s really ridiculous.
What is this then?
Changing the borders’ colour from black to white and total transition from the cold tones to the warm tones the moment Jimin appears.
And this?
~ I don’t wanna lie no more, I don’t wana hide no more, what I found in you is so real ~ Both times showing Jimin and Jimin only.
And finally so what exactly is this then?
~ Boy I’m holding on to something, won’t let go of you for nothing ~ #couple trip it is. If you know you know. :)
And pausing the music in GCF Osaka for us to hear Jimin’s giggles? Do those people close their eyes every time Jimin appears in GCFs? It’s really pathetic how they claim the smallest things are love confessions and joke about members being in love, but it’s forbidden when it comes to jikook. When it comes to jikook, they say don’t ship them, don’t ruin their friendship, stop sexualizing them, it’s only fanservice anyway,...
Everything can be gay unless it’s jikook. :)
It’s just sad people don’t acknowledge the fact Jungkook and Jimin are the closest duo (always were) and whatever their bond is, it’s special. But it’s their loss.
Btw that Jimin’s smile in the last GIF is my ultimate favourite. This is love. 💜💛💔 And the amount of people who didn’t know BTS, watched GCFT and immediately asked if they are a couple or said they have to be in love says everything.
Sorry to say this but I don't understand why you jkkrs are so happy after reading about jikook from the book. I mean yes it was sweet that they talked about their trip to Japan or jk talked about how jimin came to find him when he was drinking alone and stressed but again..it's not anything which makes sure that they were a couple. In fact... after filming jk went somewhere to drink alone without telling jimin because he was feeling stressed..it only shows how they were never a couple. And jimin came for him to find him and comfort him...was again proved that how emotionally stable jimin always was as a person for every member in the group. He was always there somewhere comforting the members..jk was no exception. And you can find these types of emotional stories from every member about him jimin being there for them. But the fact that jk went alone...his own way after doing his work in the company... clearly shows that they were and still are.. great friends but nothing more.
Okay anon. I will gladly explain this to you in the most simplest of terms. Okay? So listen. Are you listening? On this post I said the following:
To a none shipper Jikook are good friends who went to Tokyo and walked down a dark alley. 2 friends who comfort each other when sad. To someone logical this is sweet and not that big of a deal. This is not information that should be stressing people out. Surely.
So yeah, the new moments are not ground breaking, they're just cementing what we already know. That Jikook is real. Those moments are about GCFT and that, dear anon, shows exactly how Jikook are a couple. Whats in the book is cute and just reminds us how close they are and how beautiful their rlship is.
Which brings me to your question as to why we are celebrating something that's not that deep. Well, here is why. Do you see this video?
That moment is exactly what OP describes it as
Like... its not a big deal. Jikook are just goofing about.. its not that serious and yet we celebrate it, why? You wanna hear sum'n crazy? This is not even an underrated Jikook moment. It's quite popular. But why?
Because we already know that Jikook is real. We don't need proof, we don't need evidence and we definitely do not need confirmation. We know already that they are a couple. From mountains of evidence you are ignoring and choosing only to look at what's in the book. But that's the thing anon, unlike you we don't forget whats happened since 2015 to date.
We already know Jikook is real. If someone came to me and asked me why I think they're real I won't show them what's on the book, I won't show them this video of them touching each other's necks. These are just a bonus! These just accompany the huge moments.
To summarize; We already know Jikook are a couple. So now we just sit back and enjoy the little tidbits we get here and there. And we coo and smile and laugh and just love them even more. That, is why we are celebrating the moments in the book.
We already knew the Tokyo trip was special but the fact that they can't move on from it, it means something. The fact that GCFT exists, it means something.
Anyway guys. Let's get GCFT to 40M. It was 30M before the book dropped and its now at 33M 🤭🤭🤭 this means its been watched 3 million times already and it hasn't even been 24 hours. And people really think we are a small ship? He he heee... we have fucking numbers bro!
I have thoughts... but first a link, please have your own first impressions without any influence.

So...I don't know what it has been about the Golden promo period but there's literally nothing that hasn't given me mixed feelings. Nothing that I absolutely love or hate and this GCF is right along with it. And overall, that just makes me sad. I spent years being excited for whatever JK would finally give us if he ever did a proper solo project and I'm just kinda bummed overall.
What did I love?
'Directed by Jung Kook'.
Seeing JK when he's more playful. Always a serotonin boost!
JKs camera work, I just love the insight he has on camera placement and framing to help tell the story he wants to tell.
Yes or No. Still the only track I actually love from Golden so it's nice to hear it featured!
What bothered me?
'Edited by HYBE'. Bro... so much of GCF's charm and storytelling comes from the edit itself. (And not to nitpick but HYBE is a company...not an editor, so this means there were either multiple editors, or they're purposely trying to not have us associate any actual humans with this film other than JK. I also think they want ARMY to use the logic that HYBE is basically BTS and thus this work is basically completely JK's too... it's not, it's definitely not).
No English subs yet. I get it, I really do but it's a bummer.
The amount of camerawork by someone else. It's not uncommon for JK to include footage with someone else holding the camera but once we get to the gym scenes, the majority is from the perspective of someone else holding the camera, not JK. Which again, there's nothing wrong with that per se but it absolutely feels more like a bangtan bomb or episode rather than a GCF. This is also when we stop getting establishing shots and B roll. Again, nothing wrong with it but that's one of the fundamentals of a GCF for me.
There was so much dialogue that the song was interrupted pretty continuously. JK did that previously as a storytelling device which just further supports the feeling that this is bangtantv content and not a GCF.
Basically, I think I would have had very little issue with this if it wasn't packaged as a GCF. It feels a whole lot more like JK's camping vlog from a few years ago. Loved that, had no issues with it whatsoever.
...the irony is not lost on me that the only song from Golden that I love is Yes or No while my overall experience with this era is....maybe??
"I'd love to see me from your point of view" I was listening to this song by Ariana and it hit me, JM will never have to wonder. He already knows cause JK showed him with GCF Tokyo. Jimin through JK's eyes. Wow are we ever so lucky we were allowed to see something so vulnerable and intimate. And to think a young in love JK is who created that masterpiece for his boyfriend. The shot of JM on the teacups. That is JK's, Jimin on full display. A smiling, happy carefree JM, enjoying every moment, looking at JK, not the camera, knowing JK was making all his wishes come true. You could feel the love through the screen in that moment, how much JK is in love with Jimin and how much Jimin is in love with JK. And JM gets to look back on it all the time and see himself through JK's eyes. JK was so brave for this, esp with that song choice. Excuse me, I am going to go cry now.
Oh God
This is a none shipper who analyses BTS ot7 content and even he said this
You don't ship Jikook? Great. That's awesome. But claiming JK hates Jimin just shows how fucking deluded you are.
