Hello ari! This is your bangtan secret valentine ❤️ I hope you’re doing well? I’m so very excited to get to know you a little better and make you something full of l♡ve soon. A little birdie already told me a few things about you, and I was happy to see that we like quite a few of the same things; I love the same eras and songs you do (you have an excellent taste hehe), and I also love green! I see that your biases are taehyung and jeongguk – I’m dying to know why! What makes you love them? Do you have favourite eras for each of them, or looks you just can’t get enough of? Are there special moments that just make your heart melt? Tell me all the taekook ari facts! All the best, 💌

omg hi!! i'm doing very well, thank you, sweet one 🥺 i also hope you're doing amazing! aaah are you perhaps… my twin? you have no idea how giddy it makes me that we share various favorite things <3 (since i have excellent taste, that means you do too 😌)

oh, oh, no one's actually asked me that question before so i'm very excited to answer it!! i'll break it down into two paragraphs for each of them since it might be a lot of info! i'm also horrible with describing my feelings with words, i apologize in advance 😭

jungkook: initially, my bias in bts was yoongi, but i had taken a year break from bts due to some things happening in my life at the time. when i returned, jungkook truly stole my heart. i considered myself yoongi biased when i made my return but god… every time i looked at jungkook, it's like he was reaching out to me. from that moment, i knew i was doomed. i'm in love with him. i love the way his big, doe eyes grow wide and sparkle like stars in the night sky, i love when he spaces out in the middle of nowhere (i want to pick his brain to know what gets him in such a trance), i love his pretty nose scrunches when he's smiling. i love how he time and time again shows how much he loves armys (he tattooed us on his hand!!!!) and his hyungs!!! how he puts his 110% into everything that he does makes me want to work harder/become a better person myself. his competitiveness is also very endearing to me. the man simply hates losing and i respect that!! like idk man, he's just so good, so talented. in the famous words of kim taehyung, "the best voice in korea as far as i'm concerned." (HE'S RIGHT BTW) not only is he amazing at singing, but dancing?! his stage presence?! he's an ace. my heart swells up with adoration when i look at/think of him. looking at him makes me cry a little. sometimes (all of the time) i want to take his face into my hands to shower him with forehead and cheek kisses. that's my baby star candy!!! if i could put him in my pocket, i would. cutest, handsomest, most talented boy jeon jungkook protection squad <3333 would risk it all for him, i mean it.

fave jungkook eras/looks: 190811 jungkook (listen… this is where he started being a menace to me and was like "ari, you can't ignore me!" and i said "i accept defeat"), gq jungkook where he's wearing the black turtle neck (he looked so good please </3), dicon x bts jungkook shoot where he's wearing the black leather jacket in one pictorial and a white, fluffy sweater in the other (HIS DUALITY!!!). map of the soul on:e jungkook (concert & photobook). also, anything involving softboy looks is good to me. i love, love, love soft, prettyboy!jungkook looks. for favorite eras, ly: tear, ly: answer, mots7, and butter era jungkook are my top fave!

taehyung: this man creeped up on me when i least expected it. he slithered into my heart, created a home out of it, and has resided there since. i really knew taehyung became my 2nd ult when i saw a picture of him smiling on my tline only to burst into tears (jvngoo can vouch for this, she was on the phone with me when it happened). seeing taehyung happy makes me teary eyed for the simple fact that happiness looks good on him. he deserves everything good in the world!!! i have this need to protect him because i do feel like a couple of people misunderstand him due to his resting facial expression and how he's grown more quieter than when he was younger. taehyung is SUPER sweet, caring, and thoughtful. an actual angel. i hate when anyone believes otherwise. his love and respect for his work, his members, his fans (HE CREATED BORAHAE!!! AN INNOVATOR!!!!), his family, and his friends is quite evident 💜 i, too, want to to take him into my pocket with jungkook and keep them there forever. my favorite things about taehyung are when he gets shy from compliments, his tete mic faces and his bREAD CHEEKS!!! BREAD CHEEKS FOR DAYS!!!!! how do you expect me not to become emotional when he's giving me bread cheeks, you know? let me also bring up how talented he is. blue & grey, singularity, stigma, sweet night, snow flower, inner child, christmas tree, winter bear?! oh, and before i forget, KING OF STAGE PRESENCE???? yeah, that's my man! nobody does it like him! tbh would 10/10 d*e for him if he asked me to. would do it even if he didn't (i love him, i do, i do).

fave taehyung eras/looks: 2020 grammys taehyung. ly: her, ly: tear, mots7, dynamite, proof, and butter are some of my fave taehyung eras. map of the soul on:e taehyung (concert and photobook). VOGUE KOREA TAEHYUNG!! HIS PHOTOPHOLIO SHOOTS!!! i have so many more fave looks from taehyung, but my brain is a little fried rn. if he has black or blonde/light colored hair, i more than likely enjoy it!

taekook moments that melt my heart:

in the soop s2 when taehyung pleads for jungkook to cook for him, and jungkook is like "how are you going to live your life (if you can't cook)?" but ends up cooking for him anyway <3

may 5th, 2020 taekook vlive. self explanatory. (i clicked the vlive notification that said they were live and screamed when i saw it was them lmfao)

all taekook interactions during the PTD concerts!!!

the live where taehyung and jungkook said they're fire and water, and that they need each other to keep the other grounded :(((( (their bond is everything to me)

this particular fansign: 1 + 2 (THEY WERE BABIES, PLEASE!!!!)

when they mimick each other's actions or facial expressions!!! CTRL + C/CTRL + V DUO!!!!

all taekook interactions tbh, i'm not picky, i'll take EVERYTHING!!!!!! bc everything they do tgt makes my heart beat with joy!

i didn't mean for this to be so long, i'm very sorry 🥹 got carried away. i hope you enjoy reading my dump of feelings and that your questions have been properly answered, sweet one <3 thank you for coming into my inbox, and don't be afraid to return!

#mail from 💌#secret valentine #<3 #ari answers #should i put this under a read more???#idk #lol

Since I didn’t want to keep on adding asks and answers to the original post on fan service, seeing as that post is already so long, I thought I’d make a second post since we got two more asks. I intended for the answers to be relatively short, but well, that didn’t quite turn out that way, lol.

From anon: Since you were talking about fanservice. In performances, no doubt those were somewhat fanservice. But do you think those vmin moments we get after BTS was called on stage during award season was also fanservice. Like the moment in your header and others in MMA 2019 Or the hug and lift in MGA 2018 or in SMA 2019?

I don’t think whatever the members do after the announcement is made that they won an award is fan service. That would mean their excitement and happiness is also just a staged thing for our entertainment, which sounds and is quite dehumanizing when you think about it. I think in those moments we simply see their raw reactions and natural interactions, like the times when Tae and Jimin would hug before turning and joining the group hug before they would go on stage together to pick up whichever award they’ve just won.

Some of it is silly, like Jimin trying and failing to pick up Tae, but saying that’s fan service would imply that they decided in advance that they would do that but I doubt Tae would agree to it if he knew Jimin would drop him, lol. It’s simply a glimpse at their happiness and relief, at the members being excited together. Do they still guard their emotions and interactions to some extent? Of course since they are not only on camera but also surrounded by thousands of people in the audience watching them. But their smiles and hugs when going to pick up an award are still all real.

From anon: I saw the shipping war yesterday. So I would like to ask you for a post about the influence of BTS members on how they stand during the interview or who sits next to whom during the video shoot? Who decides who will be paired with whom during the photo session. That's why I ask, because I don't believe that the members choose their partners and common accessories for their clothing themselves. Thank you in advance because it's so annoying.

All that “drama” was sparked by part 2 of Lee Hyun’s YT video in which he takes on the role of being one of the BTS managers and accompanies them to the filming of the Dynamite and Butter performances for SeriusXM. There we see him check out the set, much the way any of the Bangtan managers and security would, and at one point he sits down on the sofa where we see name cards placed around marking who will sit where. Meaning that this isn’t something the members decide on the spot but is something that is decided by someone else.

Why is it like this? I’ve never worked at a set like this but I would say chances are it’s because the filming crew rehearses the performance before the members even arrive on set. I could imagine that random crew members either sit on those spots holding up the name cards, or maybe the name cards themselves are enough, while the music is playing and they plan out how each member will be filmed, what the order is in which they sing, and which members might sing together and be worth showing together. This makes the actual filming easier and quicker, especially for the members themselves. And we still saw that they filmed several takes out of which the final posted performance is edited together.

What does this mean? Not much, really. Just that ship theories based on x and y sitting together in performances often or insecure asks about why x and y don’t sit together often are both pointless. I wouldn’t quite call this fan service, but surely there are some deciding factors that go into those choices though it means that, since the members don’t care, and they don’t decide this since it doesn’t matter, we shouldn’t really care or make a big deal out of it either. It also means that whoever does decide the seat placement knows that everyone in Bangtan has so much chemistry together that regardless of who will sit next to who, it’ll be great either way.

Besides this isn’t high school where besties want to always sit next to each other and everyone is avoiding the nerds or losers. It’s seven guys who love and respect each other equally, so really, what does it matter if Namjoon sits next to Hobi or Jimin or Yoongi? And sure, am I happy when vmin or namjin sit next to each other during a performance? Obviously. Do I see any kind of indication of the state of their bond in them not sitting together? Obviously not, and now even less.

It’s also similar in photoshoots with someone from the crew deciding who will stand where and more or less what general poses will work best for whichever atmosphere is supposed to be created. We’ve seen it with the jacket sh*oting of MOTS7 for the subunit photos where Jimin talks with JK about how they’ve been in photoshoot subunits for a while now and JK says it’d be nice to shake things up a bit, so it’s a preplanned thing they have no say in really, or in the jacket sh*oting for BTS, THE BEST where a crew member placed Tae between JK and Seokjin. After all BTS are seven members, and just like I said with performances and concerts, if all of them were to just do whatever they want, everything would take an incredibly long time and be needlessly chaotic.

As for accessories, it’s the same case, as in a team of stylists decides who will wear what for whichever performance. Like during the NTV The Music Butter performance where most of the members wore the same bracelets, rings and earrings from Cartier.

Most likely the stylists, along with the set designers, decide on a theme for an upcoming performance and using that as guide, the stylists buy seven sets of outfits and jewelry that would fit it. Otherwise, if each members stylist would just buy whatever they feel like it, we’d end up with a mess, as in for instance Tae wearing only bright colors, Hobi looking like he’s a goth vampire, Namjoon went back to the 80s and Jimin emerged in something straight out of a dystopian movie.

Edit: As someone rightfully mentioned in the comments, I should’ve mentioned that the members surely have some freedom of input in the outfit choices and the possibility of saying no to certain things if they decidedly don’t like them. Same as with their make up where we know Jimin is very particular about how he wants his to look like.

Are there sometimes exceptions where some members share some kind of accessories? Sure, like with vmin and the ear muffs during one of the photoshoots for Winter Package, as example. Or now in the preview for the Permission to Dance performance and Butterful Gateaway on NOW where they were those yeehaw cowboy outfits and vmin are the only ones with a single feather earring. Or in 2020 during the Grammys for their Old Town Road performance where Tae and Jimin shared brown and blue contact lenses, which I’ve never seen any of them do before.
