Seasons Greetings 2021

My thoughts and commentary as I watch Seasons Greetings 2021! There is only the one making DVD in this package, just 93 minutes long. The other part of this was just the photobook and extra merch. Reminder that these are just my thoughts, it's not very organized. You get me typing it out as I go like I'm reacting to a friend. Somewhat like a bullet point format in a way. Here we go! This package was filmed in the beginning of September of 2020, they mention it at the end of the package. You can watch the full SG21 on YouTube here.

The DVD opens with Jimin for his first individual shoot all dressed up in his track suit, bag and scarf wrapped around his head looking all cute. Lol I swear only he can make that look cool I feel like. What an outfit. JK walking by for his shoot up next and seeing Jimin all dressed up and absolutely MELTING out of his tough guy persona he had on. Lmfao he completely melted at Jimin's cuteness and that chin tap and smile as he passed Jimin. And Jimins blush. God now IM melting. 🥰😍😍

JK looked like such a badass. I loved the yellow umbrella addition too! The way they all dressed in styles they picked out themselves is so cute. Jin looked like a whole baddie. I love glasses on him honestly. Hobi looking super hip! It suits him so well. I love that we got a jikook2seok unit shoot here too. I adore so much that the outfit Yoongi oicked for himself was total Hobi-core type of a look. And it SUITS HIM. Tae has never met a style he couldn't pull off and Namjoons HAIR is killing me. I love it. He looks so cool. The whole concept for the entirety of the Seasons Greetings was strangers to Seoul. I love it. The group shoot is so funny too. Jinkook immediately competing in billiards but in the silliest ways they can. "Jungkook and I used to play like this all the time." Photos of them playing pool, Jimin nailing his shoot in the game and immediately turning to get high fives from JK who is already there ready to give them! Jimin being the world's best person and being so kind when teaching Namjoon and Hobi how to play too. The vmin handshake and JK trying to join in on it too lmao. Jikook were very much so staying near each other through the whole billiards shoot for the most part. It was cute! Then all going for a group photoshoot at a bar too! JK pouring Jimins drinks so casually. Lol and they all look so good even in these intense outfits! Everyone dancing around to Dynamite, JK pulling Jimin into him by his TIE. Lol okay sir. 3J in the back pulling goofy thumbs up poses. And everyone gathering for a drink pretending to be strangers for real 🤣

They then introduced themselves and their profiles they created for the "strangers" they were all playing as they were new to Seoul. We have Illgok-dong Bounce Hobi, Soccer King Jimin, Busan Man JK, Dokgo Mint Chocolate RM, BTS-dong Grasshopper V, Tuna Flavored Cucumber Jin, Taejeon-dong Shooting Guard Suga. And they all explained their names and created the rest of their backgrounds and about me boards for their character. Lol my favorite being that Tae created a whole rivalry between his character and Jhope's 🤣 Jikook both putting "myself" as their characters role model. Lol and I legit need Jin to write a book. They then also of course fill out their 2020 board as themselves too!

And then we kick off some unit shoots in New outfits! Starting off with the iconic jikook shoot in their matching denim fits. Oof the moments from this shoot were sooooo good. It's all the giggles shared. It's the way JK was checking out Jimin from behind when they were posing. Lol (gif below) or how he kept peeking over at Jimin and copying his poses too (hyungs copycat). It's Jimin feeding JK his pizza aggressively lol. It's the way Jimin leaned in real close and JK stopped chewing and looked down at Jimins lips instead 👀 (2nd gif in the post). And the way they sat so close decorating those their shoes and kept sneaking glances at each other too. 😭 my heart. My loves. JK showing off his shoe to Jimin for praise. Jimin decorating his shoe with Young Forever on one side (a song that means a lot of him) and Jeon Jungkook with a silly emoji on the other side! And scolding JK lightly when he didn't stop drawing after that section of the shoot was over lol. They are so special. And the editors teasing them too. Lol "what's something that Jungkook, whose good at everything, finds difficult? Holding in his laughter while looking at Jimin." They just make each other so happy. Jimin talking about how its the end of Day 1 shooting for them now. How they started super early at 7am. JK interrupts saying no, at 3am. And Jimin just goes, no that was in your dreams. It was 7am. Lol he said they (him and JK) came first and are leaving last. JK said their concept was 2 friends who came from Busan together. Lmao flirty vibes for these friends in this shoot!

Namjin had the next unit with the concept two lonely men in the city. They look AMAZING. Jin asking Joon if he wants to have dinner together that night 🥺 Joonie bragging about getting his individual shoot done first and Jin just going "we have to leave at the same time anyway." Lmao and Joon flirting at the end! Lmao the way he said ARMY would like it (Jins outfit) and showed off more of Jins chest. Jin asking if Joon would hang out with him if he dressed like this everyday and RM just saying that he would pass out and that he would hang out, but wouldn't talk to him 👀🤣🤣🤣 Jin going "stop right there" lmfao dying. He is so funny sometimes with the out of pocket compliments like that. TaeGiSeok were the last unit and also did a lonely man concept together. They looked so good! I loved the talks about how they did feel lonely for real when they all first got to Seoul but they love it now. And Hobi complimenting Yoongi on his hair extensions!

Everyone getting ready for Day 2 shooting and we've got Yoongi on the guitar and Jimin cutely falling asleep in his chair 🥺🥺 Finishing up their solo shoots, Jinkook bickering and kicking each other on their way over to Suga for their unit shoot with him 😂 it's CONSTANT with them. The way Yoongi rubs JKs back 🥺🥺 and all 3 voting Suga as the best dressed! The 94z did a unit shoot! And idk if Hobi can get through a shoot with these guys without grabbing their chests! Lol "when did you get so bulked up?" He says while holding a handful of Joon chest. 🤣 they were so cute though. And after that they did an OT7 group shoot as well! The reminiscing over shooting the RUN MV here too! Lol and Yoongi so sweetly rubbing Tae's back. Those are his babies yall 😭 and lastly, we got the vmin unit shoot! The red and green outfits and matching curly blond hair was so cute. The editors calling them out on their mischief was cute too. Lol the way Tae wouldn't stop telling Jimin he likes him 🤣 "I like you" he says over and over while Jimin keeps knocking his hands away. Lol and the way Tae held Jimin when they talked at the end was so soft too. Cuties. The way everyone shared memories of when they ACTUALLY first came to Seoul was amazing. I loved hearing their stories!

They did another group shoot on bus 613 🥺 and were all so cute. Jimin pretending to fall asleep almost on Yoongis shoulder and leaning across the aisle to mess with Hobi. Tae legitimately falling asleep against the window breifly. Lol Tae trying to hold Jins hand and Jin going "nope" 🤣 and Tae accidentally breaking the bus hand rail thing! Oops, but the way Joon tattles on him, please 😭🤣

And they end the day all gathering together to talk with MC Jungkook! JK says 2021 is the year of the cow, which is why he got to be MC, which Jimin reminds us all that JK was born in the year of the cow. Lol they introduced their characters as well as their journals. Namjoons was super cute. Everyone giggled. Hobi found it right up his sense of humor. Jin joked about saying the needed to end their friendship since he hates mint chocolate and that's who Joon based his character on 😂

Jimin introducing his character. Who he said was from Seoul and JK going "oh? Busan??" when Jimin spoke with a slight Busan accent by accident. Lol Yoongi keeps teasing him too! The bickering duo. And Tae commenting on his small fingers. Lol no one letting Jimin breathe!

Yoongi making everyone laugh by saying his character was Korean American and only just started learning Korean as a language. Lol and asking Joon for help on some english words to throw in his introduction too. 🤣 I love him. And of course, Jimin has to tease him back and tells him to read his journal in English only 😂

JK with his Busan Man character. Lol Tae teasing that it sounds just like that Jungkook guy from BTS when he said his motto is what's yours is mine and what's mine is mine. And that he likes wearing black and drinking milk and that his personality is teenage angst. 🤣 lmao JK coming to Seoul from Busan with some teenage angst? Don't we all 🤣 and everyone started to tease him for speaking half informally through his character introduction. And Tae's comment on JKs character journal "I hope you grow out of your teenage angst." Lmfao!

Tae was so excited to share his. His characters personality is just "violent." Lol Tae sharing his dream is to take down his rival (Jhope) and Hobi being so confused about being in a rivalry he had no idea about 😂 and yet Bounce (Jhope) is also his role model. What a complicated relationship they must have 🤣

Jhope introduced his character Bounce with a bright but introverted personality. Tae interjecting more details into Hobis story to make theirs match better. Lol I love the overlap. His character was mostly just excited to dance and for the world cup!

And lastly Jin, whose character is a Cucumber. Lol with a whole backstory about how the Cucumber became Tuna Flavored. The editors saying his journal reads like a children's book, I AGREE EDITORS. Joons comment was "I don't like Cucumbers." Lol the savagery 😭🤣

JK brings them back around. Back to being BTS members as themselves for the next round! They did a relay journal entry for the future. Starting the journal was Jhope who picked the title "they are back together" and the year 2040, along with a starting point for the journal entry. The order for writing the journal went Hobi, Jimin, Suga, JK, Jin, Namjoon and ending with Tae. Lol the absolute chaos of this story and everyone's laughter and jokes as Tae reads out the whole thing. Amazing.

They moved onto their journals looking back on the year 2020 next. Jin rated his year at an 85 so far since he is happy with how he is living his life. Jhope rated 2020 at 77, since it feels like a lucky number. Tae telling us we would get his mixtape in 2021. Lol unfortunately we did not. He rated the year 80 for his good efforts and for getting billboard number 1. JK was dubbed the planning king of BTS for all his plans he wanted to do. Lol but also the quitting king of BTS. 😭🤣 The teasing never stops. He rated his year a 55 since he did half of what he originally planed, plus 5 points for billboard lol. Suga is the planning king of BTS as well, and he did all his plans except study English. He rated his year 72, with room to grow since the year wasn't over yet. Jimin shared his based off BTS plans in general. Taekook goofing off while Jimin was talking and got scolded 😅🤣 Jimin gave his year a rating of 85. RM said one of his plans was to workout. Cue all the immediate compliments from the members and yoonmin immediately feeling up his strong biceps and making Joon all flustered. Lol he gave his year a 78 in hopes to make it higher before the year ended too.

JK brings us back around by reading off what their goals were in the last seasons greetings for the year 2020. RMs was to be preform at Grammys or be nominated for music and work on lots of songs. Jins was to perform in lots of countries and go fishing with the members. Suga's was to perform at the Grammys and travel the world. Jhope's was to set aside exhausting thoughts and appreciating and enjoying every moment. Everyone asking if he was appreciating every moment and Tae goes "you appreciate me?" He is so cute. Lol Hobi going "yes, I appreciate all of you. All... 7 of you." While patting Tae and Jin so sweetly. And Tae just going, I didn't ask about everyone. I asked about me. 🤣🤣 lol Hobi going "of course I appreciate Taehyung" while laughing. Jimins was to keep their relationship with ARMY. Vs was that he wants to be a passionate person, work on lots of songs and gaming experience. He wants to play the violin and take many pictures and travel with the members. Everyone giggling at his many goals. Jimin praising him for working hard on his songs and lots of other things too. Hobi telling him he worked hard. JK saying that he did at least play the violin once and did a good job learning many things that year. 🥺🥺 they are so supportive. I swear. JKs goal was that since he can't stick to one thing for a long time, he wants to try many things out in 2020. Jimin immediately saying he did exactly that. Everyone chiming in with agreements and Tae returning the exact same head pat and compliment JK gave him. Lol they are so cute.

And we end it off for the day with their goals for 2021. In one word if possible. Lol starting with Jin. Whose goal is "tour, health." Jhope says concert. Tae says ARMY. JK says responsibility. Suga says tour. Jimin also says Tour. And RM says Grammys, more specifically, RM wants to be nominated and perform at the Grammys.

And the DVD ends with the last day of shooting on day 3 on the railroad tracks. And we get the cutest unit of miniminimoni 🥺 RM copying Jimins hat pose. The 3 of them playing with butterfly nets. Joon actually goes and catches a dragonfly with it and shows it off to the staff and Jimin all excited! And NamGi going off on a small tangent about Jin not knowing what the countryside looks like 😅 he isn't even there to defend himself from the teasing! Vhope doing the cutest unit with bikes as their props too. Looking so precious. JinKook starts their unit shoot off by hitting each other, of course 🤣 and playing with cows and puppies and spiders. And photobombing each other. Lol why are they like this? 🥰🤣 they were just so goofy. Even before the other members all joined for the group photos. Lol I love their energy.

The ending mentions were sweet. JK saying that bugs don't scare him anymore after ITS. Lol and Jimin going "they still scare me!" And JK just pointing at him like, "I got you" vibes. And then yoonmin complaining about their bug bites. BTS ended their DVD with happy new years wishes and a full bow. I love them all so much. I swear. Thanks for letting me share!

Today I chose this Jikook to help fill the Jikook shaped hole in our lives.

Season's Greetings 2021, pizza and animal print photo shoot. 🍕🐾

Those big doe eyes can't help but drop to Jimin's lips

Nice view is it JK 🤣🍑

Jimin wrote Jungkook's name on his Converse 😊

Just the strongest boyfriends vibes. You could really feel the love through the camera ♥️

The matching outfits, the flirting, the playfulness.

Jimin had his flirt turned up to 100 during this shoot and Jungkook was smitten.

Blonde Jimin and 'handle hair' Jungkook are a sexy duo.

I miss them 😔

💜💛🌈

Jikook and their “Don’t give a **** “ era ?

There is something that I have noticed recently whilst researching for my Live Reaction threads. That is, 2021 seems to have been claimed as the "jikook don't give a **** era." This isn't just from jikookers, but from the fandom and general public too. I have seen this phase used a lot when looking back into 2021 moments and also with the recent release of Memories 2021. One example of this was during the second Seasons Greetings 2022 teaser. Just like the change of reaction to the ramen comments, the way people responded to this was vastly different to how the fandom reacted to 2021 Seasons Greetings. I shall explore where this phrase has come from and what has caused it to start.

The end of 2020 going into 2021

The first teaser for Seasons Greetings 2021 came out on the 9th November 2020, giving us an idea of what the concepts would be to begin with. The second teaser was uploaded on the 11th November. During this video, you could see a clip of Jimin and Jungkook in similar attire. It was obvious by the clips of the other members that Jikook would be in a unit together.

Fast forward to December 16th and clips from the DVD were slowly being uploaded. However, a certain unit clip was missing from the Twitter timeline. This was Jimin and Jungkook's pizza unit. We did not see it in full until Peaches had uploaded it, causing jikookers to thank them for all their effort. JK accounts at the time were asked why they did not include their unit scene with no response. It included Jeon Jungkook, so why not include the content clip when he is with Park Jimin?

Around the same time of Seasons Greetings we had a flurry of jikook. MMA Black Swan was on the 6th December, which showed Jimin and Jungkook’s clear dance skill and chemistry. This was quickly followed by the Dynamite Holiday Remix on the 11th, showing a very comfy looking jikook being intimate with each other. We also saw some very sweet moments between jikook in early 2021 when Winter Package was released on February 27th. All of this footage clearly highlighted the bond between Jimin and Jungkook. Nothing new to jikookers who are used to seeing them being close, but to some these clips had started a certain spark.

Butter Era On the 21st May 2021, Butter was released with a press conference and vlive on the same day. After the press conference @bts_bighit posted a group photo. In it, Jimin is leaning his head on Jungkook’s cheek with their bodies turned to each other. There was a slight murmur in the fandom. Nothing big, but Jimin and Jungkook’s stance in the official photo was definitely noticed. It’’s this photo that sparks the catalyst for the idea that Jikook were showing more than previous years in 2021. We later got Bangtan Bombs of Jikook being together for the photoshoot for Butter and during the making of the MV. You couldn’t ignore that they were often together in these videos where Jimin and Jungkook are playing or goofing around, whilst the other members rested or played with their phones. Again, this is nothing new.

There were no shortages of cute jIkook moments. From cute moments from Run BTS, with Jungkook’s Mother saying she loved Jimin. To interviews with Jikook yet again ending up in their own little worlds. We had Jungkook admitting that he is Jimin's Copycat. With VLives where Jimin and Jungkook can’t keep their eyes or hands off each other. Then seeing Jikook sing “Anyone” together followed by Jimin literally jumping into Jungkook’s arms. Something that is clearly natural between them. Throughout the entire year, there were countless clips of Jikook being together.

The End of 2021

Just like 2020 there was an influx of Jikook towards the end of the year. On September 10th we got the release of MOTS ON:E DVD, with the famous hickey clip. Followed by Jimin and Jungkook posting selcas whilst it was trending. A few days later, a selca was posted of Jikook together at the airport on their way to the UN. With some saying it reflected a couples trend at the time. At the event itself, Jungkook gave Jimin a look of support after he lost his place and defended him during the Vlive afterwards. You will know from other clips that Jikook communicates through looks or smiles, giving support even in important events.

On Jimin’s Birthday we got the very domestic Vlive, where Jimin rang for Jungkook. Jungkook arrived very quickly and the two could NOT stop holding hands and being very sweet together until Jimin continued his vlive alone again. You could not deny the vibes here as soon as Jungkook entered the room. The same happened during the Vlive with Jobi, Tae, Jimin and JK in America. As soon as Jungkook was there, JImin lit up and his body language changed. The tones they both used. The way they acted and spoke about each other. ARMY must have felt the same way, because this VLive had such a positive reaction and they recognised the same behaviour in future vlives.

It had been a long time since BTS had performed in front of an audience. The atmosphere was huge in the US and Seoul. You will see Jikook behave the same way in 2021 and 2022 as they have in previous years. The fun dances, the flirting, the butt smacking. All of it. However, to those that are unaware it was like they needed a reminder. The reactions to all the concert performances in terms of Jikook were the loudest. ARMY could not believe that Jikook was doing this in front of so many people in a stadium. Forgetting moments at locations such as Rose Bowl and Hamilton.

To me, it is obvious that 2021 was not a “don’t give a **** era” for Jikook. It was just a period of time where the fandom and public became more aware of them. They have always had fun during DNA. Always supported each other. Always behaved the same way. However, this time, some ARMY have indeed opened their eyes. It’s not just jokes that last a few days, some are really looking back and asking themselves if there is something there. It’s not Jikook that has changed, it’s how they are perceived by their own fandom.

I have a feeling Memories there won't be much Jikook. Last year it was given there would be cause they were constantly glued together throughout 2020, but all of 2021 Jikook were a hot mess. They stopped car sharing, we saw a decrease in activity even in the latest content. Seasons Greetings, in concerts, not til the end of 2021 concerts did we get any kind of Jikooking. So I have a feeling this year memories will be the year we see Jikook the most distant then we ever have in official content.

Hey, Anon.

So I’ve heard about this cycle of doubt and insecurity and sho’nuff, here it is.

I don’t know what you were watching in 2021, Anon, but I it was not the same thing I saw. Either that or you just weren’t paying attention.

That being said, it’s not a bad idea to tamp down one’s expectations. The key word being EXPECTATION. Why put that much pressure on yourself?

And do we even know if we will get a Memories 2021? Has anyone heard if the content has been submitted for whatever it is they have to submit to?

So, Anon, just for you... ICYMI:

Jimin's contribution to JK's 2021 birthday greetings on Twitter (one of two pics he posted):

They were still car-sharing in 2021, getting into the elevator after exiting the same car at the airport on the way to New York:

JK waiting 15-20 minutes after arriving in Seoul after New York with the obvious intention of riding together in the same car:

Seasons Greetings, monitoring their work. That’s Jimin’s arm around Jungkook:

I tried to screencap a much better and higher resolution image of that moment of the Seasons Greetings behind the scenes but they've copy-protected all the media content on Weverse...so sad.**

This Louis Vuitton shoot that happened 2nd half of 2021:

There were not many 2021 concerts to see any of them perform much less witness any jikooking...

SOWOOZOO

PTD On Stage (online only)

PTD LA (JK saying "so what, imma hug my Jiminie")

More in the first half of 2021 since you only saw them being themselves at the end of 2021:

This entire V Live on February 19 where Jungkook was facing Jimin the entire time and looking very content and happy:

This V Live on March 7 when Jungkook shared this TMI:

In case you need more here is a 35 minute fan-edited compilation.

So Anon, most of what you said is utter bullshit. But.

Ya know...that very last statement...

“So I have a feeling this year memories will be the year we see Jikook the most distant then we ever have in official content.”

...official content...you added that ass-saver there. We know what all is happening in the real world that may or may not influence what they want to portray to the general public...so again...tamping down your expectations is not a bad thing at all. As far as actually them being/becoming distant? That ain’t happenin’. Trust them.

**This is the debate I got into with myself about buying the SOWOOZOO content... should I buy the digital code where I can watch the highest quality on my 4K screen but not be able to screen cap or grab any of the video for gifs... or should I buy the DVD and perhaps lose some image quality but be able to do whatever I want with the footage? ... ... ... but it seems like they are going in the direction of online only content, however, some people just do not have the internet connection to watch high resolution video...I guess we’ll see what they do in the future.

Hi. I'm OP of the fanservice question again. I came back to say I wasn't the other anon (who clearly didn't read anything you've written). And because I wanted to say that I enjoyed reading your opinion. I do understand that fanservice is a huge part of K-Pop and I did dislike BTS doing what TXT is doing now back during the Gayo episodes. It was too much for me then too. Because in my opinion fanservice plays with something, with a sexuality, that is not accepted in South Korea. And that leaves a sour taste to be honest. Me as a queer person, I can only imagine how queer Koreans do feel about seeing idols on stage being all over each other while I'd knew I'd have to be very careful what I do with a potential partner on the streets. Look at what happened to Holland.

And it's not the fanservice in general that bothers me. I don't care about idols hugging, cuddling, being close, playing up their bond on stage for the fans. It's the type of fanservice that clearly implies more while clearly being fake or forced with (like the TXT clip I've sent you or idols playing the tissue or pepero game) that doesn't sit right with me. Especially because a group like TXT really doesn't need. I guess I'm so bothered by this especially, is because quite a lot of fans were loud and proud of HYBE being a better company than the rest. And if you even dared to say anything, you immediately were labelled as an anti. When I'm far from that. In my opinion HYBE is as good or as bad as any company out there, HYBE just has the privilege to be selective in what they're doing due to BTS' huge success. But this is a completely different topic and I really don't want to annoy you.

I do want to explain though why I mentioned Jikook and Taekook as a way for HYBE to make money though. First I want to say that I have nothing against ships or shippers. To each their own as long as they stay respectful. Now on to why I said that HYBE used Jikook and Taekook. I might be wrong, it's just my own observation. In 2020, around Dynamite era until the end of the year, HYBE went out of their way to make Jikook seem like a "unit". They were often placed together in units, may it be for photoshoots like the pictures for the VMAs, Season's Greetings with them being in a unit alone, Run, the Dynamite MV, being placed next to each other in interviews, the Dynamite Christmas version videos or even the Dynamite choreography. At the end of the year, at the HYBE NYE concert, they even were separated from the group in the VCR, appearing together in a scene, with the background being "their colours". And they were the only members who appeared separately in a unit from their groups. I remember this because shippers were excited about it, expecting a Jikook performance during that concert, that didn't happen.

All of this came to an abrupt stop in 2021. Suddenly it seemed like the focus switched to Taekook. They were put into units almost always, the New Year's card drawings, the Japanese fanclub videos, the preparation videos for Festa, just to name a few. The biggest hint for me was though Taekook always being in a unit when it was about selling merch. Both times HYBE sold merch for concerts, Muster and Permission to Dance, Taekook were in a unit together. It looks like that what they were doing with Jikook in 2020, they were doing with Taekook in 2021.

(Yes, I didn't mention Memories here because while Jikook did have some moments in Memories of 2020, it wasn't advertised like this. The teaser had almost no Jikook.)

Like I've said I could be completely off and maybe the reason for all of this is a difficult one from what I think it is. (I'm sure shippers came up with an explanation of their own.) This is just how it feels to me.

And now I've bothered you enough. I only came back to explain my train of thoughts and I don't know if any of this even made sense to you. I sincerely hope you have the greatest day.

Hey anon. No worries, I didn't think you were that ignorant anon, I know it was probably just a troll who stalks my blog or something. You talk about quite a few topics, so I'm taking it one by one.

Firstly, I don't think there's any way us on the internet in these fan spaces can assume what queer koreans think about fanservice, unless you're one of them, but you haven't stated as such so I will assume you're not. I could be wrong, but I haven't read about or heard any queer people in SK commenting on this practice so we don't know their views. Also, you're basically assuming that all idols who do fanservice are straight. That idol blank canvas works in multiple ways and the ambiguity towards their sexual identity can lead people to believe what they want, not just that they're automatically only straight, have secret girlfriends and they do fanservice with their bandmates. And there's another point here to be made. Fanservice and the K-Pop industry can be used as means for idols to express themselves, especially if some of them are queer because it works under the guise of entertainment and nothing more. Another point that can be made is that some idols do have queer themes in their art and patterns can emerge. We can't just dismiss that. Art can be the perfect medium to allow queer idols to show parts of themselves. And who says some idols don't enjoy some kissing and ass grabing on stage?

Secondly, I agree with your take about Hybe and how supposedly it's a better company than others. It's not. They use(d) fanservice just as everyone else.

Thirdly, if we're going by the notion that Hybe used jikook as a main ship in 2020 and taekook in 2021, then that begs the question, what's the angle, the story? What are they trying to portray? Because looking at all the examples you gave, I see two very different angles.

So, lets see what we have then. In jikook's case, they were put together as a unit in different types of content. I would like to mention that units for photoshoots, choreo, the NYE concert VCR, sitting next to each other during interviews is not a big indication for purposefully promoting an angle, as switches are made constantly. If we're to take that into consideration, then all of BTS are a couple and they switch it up every year. But, you also mentioned Dynamite Christmas version and I would also add MMA Black Swan because there is an angle there, which has heavy tones of homoromanticism in a quite explicit way. What was the reason?The agenda? I don't know. But I must say that instead of using fanservice for homoeroticism and cheap thrills for fans, they went for a more softer, romantic portrayal and they used it in their performances, not interviews or games. They used artistic expression. And I think that's smart and because of this particular reason, I'm not judging it and I really don't care if the duo in the ship is only for the cameras or not. Hybe didn't use the same tactic when you say they focused on taekook in 2021, and it's easy to conclude that by just looking at the examples you gave. What they did was just using a unit in various content that doesn't actually say anything about the ship itself. Lmao, they were just stuck together in the same frame. And Hybe does this frequently. What did they achieve by that? Taekookers being happy to see their faves in the same room or the same photo, just as any other shipper of all 21 possible ships.

This is not me making a point about which is the superior ship or the real one, as I don't care about that, but I wanted to use your argument and built on top of that to see where it goes and my conclusion is that if we're going with your opinion, that Hybe uses ships and changes them after a year, then they do a poor job of treating them equally.
