cutest jikook selca is out!
Not Disney saying āEvery day is youth and romanceā šš
SOME CUTE POSTS:
December 3 canāt come soon enough. šāØ
As far as I'm concerned, the Disney+ marketing and HYBE's official English press release leaves no room for debate that all parties - Jikook, HYBE and Disney - are positioning AYS2 as an official/unofficial soft launch.
You have made think more deeply about this whole situation. There is a level of accountability that some members need to take when it comes to things like these, because while we can never put it on any memberās shoulders how their fans act we could maybe expect them to be more firm about their stances on some behaviors.
For a while now we have all said at some point or another that tkkrs are like larrys (from 1D) and to be honest this is true and incredibly concerning. Larrys to this day, years after the band disbanded and years after one of the members of their pairing had a child and got married, are still holding onto the delusion that larry is real. They go so far as to harass Louis and his family (including his son), and no matter how much he has said he hates larrys they never stop.
How long are hybe/big hit and bts as a whole going to keep turning a blind eye to this behavior? I get that in the kpop industry shipping is as common as breathing and idols and their companies tend to never full on address it because it generates money and interest and they donāt want to alienate a large portion of fans. But, this is getting worse and worse.
I canāt debate the morality of shipping real life people, iām a jikooker. Even though i call myself a supporter, it still can be considered shipping by the general public and until jikook themselves come out and confirm their relationship, what we are doing IS shipping. And I also canāt say that jkkrs are completely innocent and there arenāt crazies amongst us, although I want to believe the crazies are less than the sane ones.
But one thing i have seen is that out of all the crazy shippers in all the ships in bts, tkkrs are the ones who consistently keep taking things into real life and outside of social media discourse. Just in these last few months we have had 2 tkkrs go to to korea in person to cause harm to Jimin. One even talking about killing him.
I fear that at this point a lot of them are too far gone in their delusions that they will not stop even if taekook themselves tell them to stop, but at least they and hybe can start setting the precedent soon that this is not okay. Because the longer this type of behavior is not addressed properly (and by that i mean with the law and real life consequences) the more we are going to keep seeing cases like these.
Thank you for sharing your nuanced take.
You sent in this ask weeks ago, can you believe it's gotten even worse since then?
Your answer was in regards to this post?
Oh anon,.. I want the spring back in my step... š®āšØš®āšØ December, I am counting on you bitchhhh
The topics raised are indeed something to think carefully about. I don't have the answer and in any case, I can only speak for myself and my behaviour.
The members need to decide for themselves what amount - if any - of accountability they're willing to take on regarding this topic of fan engagement. Yet, I don't think the members have any control over the genie once it was released from the bottle., i.e. the fandom. They too can only take control of their own behaviour. And are people listening when they speak? Not all of them are.
So it's rather up to the agency, and the industry to challenge the toxicity that is partly baked in. It sorta upholds the entire industry. And it's also a double edged sword.
It will probably take industry leaders to demand action. I've always thought the members hinted at wanting to be these change makers, for the sake of their sanity and private lives, but they're victims atp, so we can't demand they be the first to step through the Rubicon and change things.
For now, they have signed a deal with the devil and who knows who the true victims will be in the end.
Let's hope it doesn't come to that. Damn.. even today there was a person with luggage at jk's doorstep. Beyond fucked up.
When it comes to the members, I think of them as separate entities now. So anything coming from each member should be judged separately. There is little to no coordinated strategy here when it comes to their online interactions. We shouldn't overcompensate by blaming people for interacting, in public, with their friends. We can't know what dynamics are really at play behind all this.
We also know the members are completely different people. Maybe only two of them share the most similar ethos in life, but overall they can't be in control of their fellow members' behaviours. You can look at the lack of reciprocity as a gage of how exited or not the other members are at being put on the spot sometimes, but still..it's a skewed perspective to judge from.
Maybe we shouldn't judge at all and just make sure you yourself aren't engaging with that kind of behaviour?
Or is that too much of a cop out answer?
It is the most sane one though. A healthy one too because over-investing in online spaces is slowly robbing us of our ability to empathise at all. We all know it. Still, these asks, this platform, healthy discussions where you're not burning bridges just over a difference of opinion, these too are healthy. Just as long as you know your place in the equation and don't become overly invested, or an asshole.
Random thoughts here, please add your own.
Shipping within kpop is effective engagement
But people do not know their boundaries
Members have a part to play. The older they get the less instruction they need, what you see now is just their personalities, like it or not.
Natural chemistry can't be faked
Friendships and deep bonds form within groups all the time.
Even within real friendships there exists toxic dynamics
Age hierarchy has been described as a toxic element by a lot of Koreans, it overcomplicates friendships in the modern age
People are complicated beings!
Desires like greed and validation are real and should be worked out through therapy
BTS is a lifelong commitment, like it or not, you can't put the genie back in the bottle!!
You can outgrow friends yet still have a relationship with them
I am projecting throughout this list btw, life is messy! like Jikook
No victim is responsible for the behaviour of their - emotional or otherwise - attacker. Full stop.
Being a responsible public figure requires behaviour that is well thought out but people gonna people. Stop judging!
Online platforms fuel the dopamine addiction
The spotlight is bright and casts a dark shadow
this is such a good illustration of how complex all these layers are. my simple answer to why members haven't spoken out more is: if you deny one ship and not the other, is that too close to confirmation?
if we're all just ultra delulu and reading a very intimate and incredibly close friendship bond (for the record books, omg!) as more than it is, that's ok with me. but it would really make me question the speaking out piece and hope sincerely that the main victim of hate and harassment was a strong voice at that table.
Wow, who would have thought...
Now who would have thought we would be dealing with another shitstorm but this time concerning the other half of everyone's favourite couple?
Not me. Because Im naive and want to believe that people are actually kind but sometimes lost. And since I would never do something malicious to another human being, or harm them just to spite them I tend to think no one else would too. Maybe my brain is just wired the wrong way if I still in my adulthood believe in others and goodness.
But ha ha - joke's on me.
Turns out people are more than willing to dive straight into their delusions and swim in pool of hate and obsession. Don't get me wrong - I like my fair share of deluluness and theories straight from tin-hattery area BUT at the same time Im perfectly aware I might be talking out of my ass and the only reason I dab into delulu is to have a giggle over it and a swoon over two beautiful Korean men that are at the centre of it all.
Never in my life I would spread actual rumours in order to hurt them. Because lets be real - this was meant to hurt them, this was meant to hurt Jungkook. Whether you believe those videos are true or manipulated, whether you think that was his gf or hook-up... this should not have happened. Again. Just like it should not have happened with Jimin.
This is a line that should not be crossed. And yet people think they have a right to do that, they believe celebrities owe us something. They dont owe us shit. Jimin and Jungkook treat their fans with love and respect. And what do they get? Phones shoved in their faces or being followed in the streets.
It was already said before by many other wonderful bloggers here but I also want to say it out loud too - I dont give a shit how they define they relationship, I dont care whether they have open relationship, whether they're exes, whether they're just friends with bizarre boundaries. I will still be here for them.
When AYS2 drops I will still be here cooing over them, blushing over their interactions even if they turn down the gayness (although scratch that - thats not possible). Im in love with the idea of Jikook - soulmates who found each other and share love like no other BUT at the same time I love Jungkook and Jimin as individuals even if there's no epic love story. I will always be here to cheer on them and shower them with my support and affection in this limited capacity that I have over here.
Lets not give anymore space for negativity and hatred and this delusional sense of entitlement and ownership over people we claim to love. And all those who do otherwise can go fuck themselves, respectfully.
So, back to our scheduled programming now - counting down the days to Dec 3rd. AYS2 baby! š©·
omg 100%
Happy 30th Birthday Jimin!
Post Date: 20251013 (in SK)
Looking at all these together just makes me so insanely thankful for this man's existence. The 13th is Thanksgiving here in Canada, and the perfect day to meditate on the blessing that is Park Jimin. Happy Birthday, beautiful man š»
Jikook what are you doing to us?š Whatever it is, please don't stop.
He is so brave!
I see that everyone is loosing their mind (as we should!) because of our darling, kind-hearted, records-breaker, flawless dancer, angelic singer, beautiful, handsome, strong, hard-working, gorgeous, stunning JIMIN-SHIII!!
I saw him, dropped my jaw, and the first thing that came to mind : how brave you are, Jimin. So, so so brave. And I truly admire him for that.
He is shy. He's always been shy. Shy, humble, grateful. If it is up to him, he might prefer to travel with mask, hoodie, loose pants. But this is work. And this is the first time he came out after you-know-what happened.
And as always, he faced everything oh so bravely. Walking without mask, open chest, looking straight at everyone's eyes with smile and kind eyes.
You can still see some awkwardness, which is very understandable for someone as shy (just like Joon said sometimes ago) as he is, in front of those crowds. Thus, what he has done, what he decided to do is so brave. And he did it with class.
Wow. I am truly impressed and so so glad that I stan a very brave human being.
GO JIMIN!
Show the world that kindness, grace, class, gratitude, compassion, passion and true art is not dead.

Jikook/Kookmin | Supercollide
A little gift for y'all while the world waits for more blondemin
Enjoy <3
And of course it's absolutely lovelyš Thank you so much, what a treat!!
So, Jungkook's live in 3...2...1... - gotta keep the delulu jokers happy and satisfied with the contracted fs, am I right? š
All jokes aside - I hope Jimin has the time of his life in Paris, and that he is treated like the prince he is.
And oh hiii, there's JK on TikTok dancing to Fashion while DAMN SEXY Mr. JM is in Paris for Fashion week. Predictable but with a twist - Jikook we love youā¤ļø
Hi anon!!! Thank you for sending me this. It was so nice of you to provide me these infos š„°. Also I don't know if it's just a me thing or it happens to others too, but I can't control this weird thing that sometimes asks do. The last part of your message appears as "detached" from the rest of the text and this glitch makes me unable to answer directly unless I take a screenshot. Excuse me for it but I have no idea how to get rid of that arghhhh.
Anyways. It's really crazy to read such a long thread and think back of everything we've - and they've - been through from almost 2 years ago to now. The way time has passed by. Crazy.
And it's even worse to think of the fact they had to stay in close contact with each other to get the buddy enlistment done. Truly shows their effort and dedication, the commitment behind it all.
Thinking of the reasons that could've led them to this decision - fear of loneliness, fear for their bond, for the unknown, anxiety or all of these combined - makes my heart ache.
But what's truly shocking is that they had to pass a lottery to actually 'win' as buddies. That's when I take off my hat kneel to the ground and beg for forgiveness to the gods in the sky if l ever doubted their existence. How could that happen to them?To the CEOs of I am you you are me fate destiny serendipity?
I often think of younger Jikook - not even 2018 or 2017, even younger. Debut, pre debut Jikook. I think of those boys a lot.
And little did those two kids know, the day they met, that they were actually sealing their fates and welcoming in each other's lives the person who was gonna become their partner, their best friend, their supporter, a shoulder to cry on, their coworker and also the companion they would've enlisted with.
Did they know, on that random day in 2012, that meeting meant changing the trajectory of their lives forever, taking a road with no turning back for their hearts? Did they feel it, somewhere in their souls, when they locked eyes for the first time? That ātinyā and casual encounter led to immense love and intimacy.
Cause I'm assuming it was a recent choice, enlisting together. And I'm assuming that for years they talked about it, heard their elders' stories, their fathers, brothers' friends stories, their grandfathers and uncles. And I bet they thought of it, got scared or confused, than didn't mind it because it was very far in time, than thought of it again and got scared again.
I remember this interview circulating a couple of years ago where Jimin said he projected himself in ten years as a lonely enlisted man. I never got the chance to actually prove if that translation was right or just a fake; but it doesn't really matter considering that I can perfectly see that thought crossing his mind, their minds, at that age. I can imagine that.
If only they knew that the kid they shared everything with, practice and work out and dreams and fears and tears, was gonna be by their side through such a hard time and life changing experience.
They probably talked about the enlistment, the fear of loneliness and aging, as a every precious child who's thrown in a big industry would; but they had no idea the guy they fought with in the rain, felt strangely drawn to, spent time with and slept hugged bickered with a million times, was actually gonna be the one keeping that loneliness away in the future. They had no clue, but in a few years that friendship was gonna become special, warming, safe in its risk. It was gonna keep their hearts glued with no escape from it and everything because of that random 2012 day.
I wouldn't tell them. Honestly I wouldn't. But if I could go back in time l'd whisper it in their ears as a silly joke and would burst out laughing at their reactions.
Cause these kids had no idea what life was gonna bring. Where it was gonna lead them, what the stars were aligning for while they put on their heavy eyeliner and kept dreaming together. They had no idea how far that together was gonna get. Did they?
This is so moving
[230901] Dior Global Ambassador Jimin at the Lady Dior Celebration Exhibition in Seoul
Dior x Jimin living rent free these days. He must have been magnificent and so deadly in-person in this fit.
Why are his busted knuckles so hot.
Gentle Reminder (aka iām about to throw hands gently)
Gentle reminder ā and by gentle i mean loud, blunt, and potentially a little unhinged ā that this fandom isnāt all just purple hearts and OT7 quotes slapped on aesthetic backgrounds. Itās also filled to the brim with Y/N-core self-inserters, casual homophobes playing it cute behind āi just miss the old BTS,ā antis wearing āOT7ā like cosplay, and people whoāll scream ālove yourselfā all day while tearing members down for daring to exist authentically.
Itās giving āØ"We support BTS unless they make us uncomfortable"āØ energy.
(Changed the previous gif)
Now listen, if any of the boysāany of themādecide to share their vulnerabilities, talk about their mental health, opens up in a way that challenges the rigid, sanitized version of masculinity and heteronormativity some desperately cling to. What happens when itās not just "Yoongi cried in a documentary" but "one of them actually comes out"? Or rumors drop about one of them possibly having a boyfriend, this fandom will combust like itās allergic to reality, the masks will slip. Quickly. And when it happens (because let's not kid ourselves, some are hanging on by a thread already), Iām gonna need the rest of usāthe ones who truly careāto hold the line.
Let me say this loud for the people in the back: if that day ever comes, itās not just about clapping for them on Weverse and then going back to thirsting over edits. Itās about showing the hell up.
Remember yoongi? man literally came out. proudly. clearly. and people are still acting like it was a translation error. Like their brain stopped working because āthatās not what he meant!ā no, babe. That is what he meant. You just didnāt like it. Not again. When the boys come back from military service, things will change. They're not going to be the same wide-eyed teens from 2013-2014 anymore. Theyāve grown. So we either grow with them or get left behind.
And to the Jikookers: hi besties. Letās have a chat. Some of yāall disappointed the entire community when that stupid Weibo rumor about Jungkook dropped and you folded like paper in the rain. You abandoned Jikook faster than a fake OT7 deleting their stan account after a solo debut. And then ā like clockwork ā you slithered back in once it was safe, as if nothing happened. Like we forgot. Honey, we did not forget. We saw it. We screenshot it. We saved it for later. Gomawo.
Meanwhile, the rest of us? We stayed. We defended. We werenāt shaken by the antis or their cowardly rumors because we actually believe in what jikook stand for ā and no, iām not talking about shipping aesthetics. Iām talking about love, protection, truth. Things that donāt break under pressure.
So hereās what iām saying: when the boys come back from the military ā older, wiser, and probably done with everyoneās bs ā itās not going to be only about streaming goals or āletās get 10M views in 24 hours!!!" and āOT7 comeback when šā anymore. Itās about building a fandom where they can breathe. Where they can be themselves without fear that their own fans will betray them at the first sign of controversy. And again, if one of them comes out, if a relationship becomes public, if they express their love for another man? You better be on the right side of that moment. Because hereās the truth: the world outside that safe little fandom bubble we try to create? Itās not kind. So we have to be.
Because trust: there are fans right now who say they support BTS but their loyalty is conditional. They love the idea of BTS, the safe, sanitized version they built in their heads. But real support? That means being there even when it challenges your own comfort or biases.
Donāt just say āwe purple you.ā show it. Show it when theyāre vulnerable. Show it when theyāre honest. Show it when itās not trending. You canāt claim to love someone and then only support them when itās convenient for you.
If you say you love them, if you say youāre OT7, if you say you care ā then prove it. Be there when itās inconvenient. Be there when itās messy. Be there when itās uncomfortable. Because they have always been there for us.
ė°©ķģ“ ģ°ė¦¬ė„¼ ģ§ģ¼ģ¤¬ģģ. ģ“ģ ģ°ė¦¬ź° ź·øė¤ģ ģ§ķ¬ ģ°Øė”ģ¼.
(Bangtan protected us. Now itās our turn to protect them.)
So yes. this is a call-out. This is a warning. This is a gentle reminder because the line between fake support and real love will become crystal clear. Itās not about agreeing with everything. Itās about loving them enough to accept them as they are, even when it shakes your little delulu universe. I just hope you're not standing on the wrong side of it when it happens.
Like I said, not a coincidence
Nope.
Or should I spell it out? Because I'm not sure it's hitting right...
Blue and black.
Blue on JM ring finger.
JM wearing Blue.
CK and Dior ambassadors and their choices.
Choices!!
Yesterday I reignited my matching jikook obsession so down the rabbit hole I go (again). Our sweet men are top level detail people and I love it.
LMAOOOOOO. Minimoni anti never sleeps!
ššš
now, thereās this episode in ays s1 and i feel like we havenāt talked about it enough (WE HAVE NOT). in fact iād really like YOUR take on it. i think it was in one of the connecticut episodes?! they were lying in bed and jk slapped jmās ass. i just feel like if they were just bros he wouldnāt do that?? šÆ
Thank you sweet one for this ask! Yes, let's revisit, re-analyze, rewatch and re-press. We all need good vibes rn.
*opens book*
LET'S REOPEN THE ANALYSIS, ERR.. THE ASSALANYS, EERRP, THE ASS-SLAP-NALYSIS OF THE CENTURY YES.
Before I start, just to make sure, let's all gather round and refresh our memories. I think I know what you refer to, but I must check first.
*roll the tape*
I believe this is it, right?
What happens.
Jungkook comes to wake Jimin up. He sigh-whispers "Jimin-ssi" twice, it's loaded.. as he circles the bed, takes off his microphone, and puts it on the nightstand.
Jimin just stretches like a cat that knows it's about to get itchy. His cuddles are coming!
Jungkook arranges a pillow by the headboard and then proceeds to slide Jiminās leg down. His head on pillow plan is immediately rerouted south. Jiminās rump proves to be the better pillow because JK dives in face first into cake and grunts. Satisfaction score: 13/11.
Still, it's totally normal behavior.
They then chat a bit. Then there is a cut, and Jimin has draped both his legs, knees up, hip hipflexors fully engaged, over a stretched out Junkook as he grunt-sighs. Jesus.
Foot in crotch.
Again, satisfaction: ultra plus maximus.
From this point on, there is a lot of grunting, actually.
They play fight by tossing limbs left and right.
I'd like to make a special note here: Jiminās hips get tossed over, legs closed, but then he, again those strong flexors, opens up his legs, knees up and uses his hip to push back against solid rock.
*sips water*
Moving on.
Jungkook is now playing. He acts like he's kitty punching Jimin. His fiercest opponent in the game they call "Roly poly bed cuddles for Bro's totally normal yes you can leave that in no need to edit it out game" ... he then smiles and SLAPS the juiciest ass ever in his vicinity (it's in the contract), and then that very lucky hand then slides off the ass (this takes so long) before getting shunned in between the sheets where it has to repent.
Atp they have both reached full nirvana and both stretch out in bed.
Grunt, sigh, and moans can be heard.
They slide all limbs and lively batteries into the hard surface of the bed, which now houses a gaggle of unrepentant sinners.
If you're wondering about the grunting.
It just keeps going.
Bliss.
Wait, what was your question again????????
lively batteries ššš
What happened this week has no impact on how I see Jikookās relationship except that itās a huge reminder of how very complex and difficult their situation is. Iām not into speculating on labels, details, or history beyond what theyāve shown us, which is a decade of consistent care, companionship, and insane chemistry. In any case I support them both as individuals and as a pair and Iāll keep doing so.
Jikookers crashing out right now makes no sense to me at all unless itās because of what that person has done to Jimin, or pain over the difficulty Jimin and JK face. Making this about their relationship and publicly questioning whether to abandon them is just so gross. Iām blocking when I see that shit, good riddance.
Otherwise, PJM vs army clashes on the tl today. It still shocks me how so many ot7/army refuse to see whatās been so blatant for years. I know, most of them are on the dark side but there are many others who are just like I was a year ago when I thought the answer was a broad stroke anti shipping stance. But how the hell can that be helpful when there are two members who are actually in love? And the silencing of Jimin bias and jm solo fans drives me insane. There are so many pjms who were previously ot7 and I donāt blame them one bit for their current stance.
If I was a regular army who didnāt believe in Jikook realness, Iād still love them both and would hate to look back and regret being in denial when I could have been a supporter especially when at least half the fandom is foaming at the mouth to erase their closeness and completely crush JMās career, reputation, and spirit. I wish more non jkkrs would stop and think about why the cult hates him so much. The level of fear and vitriol they have about Jikook is actually a massive indicator about how very real they are.
Now back to voting for Jiminās VMA. Iām really proud of how much Iāve accomplished this past month - it feels good to be able to do something concrete for him š»
This video is just mesmerizing to me honestly. The way JK steps forward slightly, that soft, adoring look and then the big smile, the fact that theyāve been practicing singing together for the last year and a half and now theyāre finally in a studio togetherā¦ how adorable Jimin looks in all black, the anticipation of new music from BTS, just all of it is taking my breath away. Sigh ā”
All this. Itās the loveliest little clip and it communicates so much about the place theyāre in together personally and creatively
how they gravitate to each other in casual moments speaks volumes about their intimacy and closeness
