Approximately June 7-8, 2023 (filmed), September 8, 2033 (released):
Tae is in Spain filming his MVs for his solo debut album “Layover.” On Sept 8, “Slow Dancing,” his main track, was released. During the instrumental part of the song, when Tae freestyle dances, we see him dancing on a utopian dream beach with friends, and with Gof in his actual reality (more on that below). A lot have pointed out Gof looks like Jungkook in the MV.
I’m not interested in analyzing music these days, as was done when the blog first opened. However, I do think this is important to archive because of the brilliant and creative ways Tae conveyed his message + the fact that so many think Gof looks like Jk in the MV. Please consider this piece speculative / theory. With that in mind, here are two YouTube reactions where it was asked out loud if Gof was Jk.
YouTube reaction 1, when two of the three asked:

Someone on Tik Tok, who isn’t a shipper, also asked.

As quite a few noticed, there are a lot of queer coded vibes in this MV + “where the wild things are references.” First, the cast is from the same agency queer artist Sam Smith has utilized. Once again, Tae is supporting people of the community!

And here are some of the amazing and beautiful people cast: Sergio Pérez (Sergio Afro), Bryan Montero, Quique Muro Lopéz and Febo (I don’t have the name to the fifth person) -
CT below for four of the the five: https://x.com/marifenes/status/1700124760129077270?s=46&t=StSwHjW0_Domk_lHUFMaCg
In the MV, we discover Tae is a mad scientist that has created an alternate reality.
He creates an alternate reality on the beach, which represents a utopia for him, where he can be free and happy to express himself (which can be gleaned from the start, when his photo with friends only shows himself).
But what’s interesting is the Jk and Yeontan (Tannie) look alike are not at the beach utopia he’s created. They’re part of his actual reality, both at the same building. They’re the only ones that are part of his real life, while his beach friends are creations of his imagination. The Jk look alike is part of his past, only appearing when Tae created the dances in his home. Tae wanted to recreate those past memories of dancing with him in his dream utopia. I really think he’s conveying a hope, yearning and goal for freedom. And I really think it’ll happen.

Also, I may as well archive this while I’m at it! In his “Rainy Days” MV, the hoodie in Tae’s bed is a men’s hoodie😀

Lil Nas X ft Charlie Puth song would have theeeeee nastiest MV for sure because Puthycat would let Montero do whatever he wanted creatively as long as it was horny and Lil Nas X loves making it horny

I suppose I'm not the type of person that he's trying to offend with this, so of course I'm not going to give a shit, but I don't see how the new MV is in any way worse than Montero...?

Me and You Together Song // The 1975 - Adding this song and Jesse's girl to a playlist of bops where the male author was very clearly posessed by a lesbian
MONTERO // Lil Nas X - The most iconic MV perhaps of all time. Lil Nas X is everything to me. The entire album is 🔥 tbh.
Moon Song // Phoebe Bridgers - This song fits so many blorbos but the one that makes me cry is Big (KinnBig) "You couldnt have stuck your tongue down the throat of somebody who loves you more, So I will wait for the next time you want me, like a dog with a bird at your door" UM Ms. Bridgers how the fuck am I supposed to emotionally recover from this???
Milk // The 1975 (again) - A secret bonus track on their first album for SO MANY YEARS! They released it as a single so *finally* I dont have to go "wait let me just go to the 7th minute of this 9 minute track exclusive to their deluxe edition, bear with I promise it's worth it" anymore lol
Monsoon // Hippo Campus - The perfect ''curled up watching raindrops slide down the glass in a stormy window nook'' song; utterly lovely and utterly heartbreaking in a very comforting way
Thanks for asking!! I love sharing music hehe 🎶✨
Send me a letter and I'll reccomend 5 songs beginning with that letter!

I wonder when Jimin talked about wanting to pole dance, if he had this scene in mind:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6swmTBVI83k&t=112s
I'd love to see Jimin in a concept like this.
Oh @guacamoli-avocadorado, you brought back Montero! When this mv was released, I did think of Jimin, but somehow, I don't think he'd take the campy route. I have in mind a more dark concept, perhaps more minimalist. I wouldn't be surprised if he would pole dance on classical music.
