i’m actually very normal about kookmin

happy one year to my comfort show! here’s to more seasons 💫

watching this week after week was the best serotonin. it was genuinely such a pleasure to get a more closer glimpse into these two’s dynamic. they have so much love and respect for eachother that it was so fun to watch and witness their chemistry. the soft bickering, the back and forth teasing, the soft touches, everything was so sweet. obviously we’ve been witnessing how jikook act around eachother for a decade now but this was a little more special since it was them two most of the time, every week we got to see exactly why they are the closest in the group and why this show was set up for them.

my underrated moments include the car scene episode one, we’ve let many people diminish that scene and take it so out of context but when you have brain cells you can see the fact that jimin wanted a show with jungkook and pushed for it will never be a bad thing, i will never let people take his initiative and turn it into something that is terrible, he did so many activities that jungkook wanted because he understands him and shows interest in his interests. the car scene shows why he wanted that because they were busy with solo’s so it was nice to get away just the two of them and in that car scene jungkook says “finallyyyy”like wow my baby was so happy to be traveling with jimin. another underrated moment was the military talk scene in episode 5, that entire dinner scene was my fav because of how in tune they are with eachother. they know eachothers jokes, they can bounce off of eachother quickly and keep the convo going. but the military talk i always have to rewatch because of how quickly they knew they wouldn’t fight in the military and how the relief of them knowing they will have eachother was showing on their faces. it made me and so many viewers sigh in relief as well, like wow they will be okay because they have eachother.

after my 100th rewatch i can truly say this is the greatest travel show and i am so excited for season 2. so excited for the new inside jokes, the new softness they will have for eachother after discharging and so excited to be apart of their journey. happy one year!!!

Taekook is super popular because the cult loves cropping vids and because there was this wildly belief in there that JK and Tae are star-crossed lovers, and they're separated by bighit and of course, the evil Jimin. It's dramatic.

But with jikook, no reason for wild lies. It's simple. They just are that, soft, vanilla, and some people don't love that. They love wild dramatic angsty stories which Taekook has.

If there's one thing you anon and your cult is good at, it's manipulating people and creating wild stories that's not even there.

If jikook truly is "brothers" "no sense of romance" you and your cult won't hate on Jimin every time he breathes near JK because he's just a brother. You all don't go off at Hobi, or Jin. But with Jimin, all of you are feral.

So anon, go back to your cult. No one is believing your bullshit.

bruh twitter likes getting to these people’s heads. popular ≠ real. please let that get to your brain and stop spamming jkker’s inboxes thank youuuu

the difference between jimin and the other members is so funny. they will do 15-20 pics in their photo dumps on insta while we are lucky enough to get 3 at most from jimin, most of the time just 1 pic 😭 my fav insta user 🥹

[fatedkm]

reverse psychology working, we got 9 new pics in jimin’s photo dump. he’s learning insta well im obsesseddddd

[fatedkm]

"i believe jimin is more involved with the group music this time around. after falling in love with writing his solo albums he’s probably excited to contribute to the group. a big reason why he’s with the rap line a lot these days"

wdym? He has talked about wanting to be involved with group music way before solo era happened.

yes i know that. he’s talked about it obviously but now that he has experience with writing and producing his solo albums i’m hoping to believe he’s using that experience and growth to work on the group album. we’ll just wait and see in spring for more prod jimin 🤞🏽

Then they simply don't post about him as well lol. Referring to hobi posting 4 members on his ig, RM posting jimin as well then taehyung himself posting jimin.

But it's crazy how they share so much jimin pics on any random day yet when it's time to actually show support to him by posting when he releases his music? Some of them are silent asf totally pointing fingers at taehyung.

i noticed that too anon lmskdjwk but i believe jimin is more involved with the group music this time around. after falling in love with writing his solo albums he’s probably excited to contribute to the group. a big reason why he’s with the rap line a lot these days (outside of jimin just being everyone’s favorite person to hang with clearly) but i do enjoy the little updates from everyone else when jimin himself posts so little, they clearly love taking pics of him lol

jimin is the most supportive, kindhearted person and the first thing he does when a member releases is show his support online. i wish he received that same kind of love. i guess we never know the support they give eachother offline but what they show online goes a long way. the way jungkook did it for jimin was so sweet. i will never not smile at his weverse lives watching jimin content, playing letter on the guitar, telling everyone to look forward to 12am (smf pt2 teaser release). it’s quiet in a way but also loud and shows his interest.

Jimin and Who are nominated at the VMAs!

Please get ready to vote with all your heart:

Let's do this for Jimin!

[fatedkm]

looks like jungkook removed the post. i hope his first post has something to do with Calvin Klein. i know that has been teased the last few weeks. to me he’s the current face of CK, i wanna see billboards of him again

[fatedkm]

I do not agree with how some jkkrs act to retaliate with tkkrs but anon saying it's jikookers fault Jimin gets harrassed because we are retaliating—uhm no. Taekookers are insane mfs. Jimin and Jikookers do not do anything but those useless attention seekers will start a war so no.

yup! unfortunately jimin gets hate for breathing whether jkkers fight back or not, the first thing on their mind is jimin and how can that make anything TK do about jimin just to bring him hate. i don’t see how this became a jkkers fault type of situation

[fatedkm]

Some of these anons are one stone throw away from victim blaming Jimin. The ones to blame for the hate Jimin gets are the ones DOING it. It stems from their inability to deal with their insecurities and personal issues. Jimin is their punching bag.

THIS!

very well said actually. it’s funny cause i said soo much about how this fandom reacts to jimin hate and how they don’t see jimin as the one who needs to be defended. and how tkkers are always going to be the biggest instigators but all they took from it was my little comment about solo stans. no one else is to blame for the hate jimin gets but the people who spew hateful comments at him almost daily

[fatedkm]

he has the most rabid solo fans that just bring him hate

Excuse me? you've been to twitter?

If anyone bring hate to jm, it's army and jkkrs

please finish reading the rest of my post.

jimin gets hate from all sides yes. it just doesn’t help that his solo stan’s (like ALL members solo stan’s) are very opinionated and have brought so many fanwars, when they hate on his bond with jk that gets jjks on him and vice versa.

i would say the same about all solo stan’s. please focus on something else likelwmdksk

[fatedkm]

of course jm's fans are the most rabid stfu we're the only ones defending him from all sides, when jikookers always need to include jk or even th in their defense posts as if the only one that gets the most hate always isn't jm only. taekookers won't drag their faves and jjks/kths don't drag their faves either because they're trashes too, but they all attack jm. If you really cared about jm you wouldn't call his loyal fans rabid.

all the members solo stan’s are rabid. and did i not just say that jimin receives the most hate from all sides?

[fatedkm]

All i'd say is jkkrs are at fault for how the tkkrs and army treats jm.

Let's be good, let's not act like tkkrs... well you can see how it turns out

hi anon, respectfully, jikookers are definitely not at fault here sorry. for armys, you would expect they treat jimin with the same kindness and grace they give tae no? they don’t defend jimin as much as they do tae from shippers, they don’t ever call out tkkers as much as jkkers and never have i see them call anything TK do fan service. it’s very saddening to be quite honest cause jimin has the purest heart ever and he has the most rabid solo fans that just bring him hate but also doesn’t have the ot7er’s backing him up (unless they wanna use his achievements for examples in fanwars with kpop stans) and this is something that’s been shown throughout the fandom for years now, with or without jikookers they will never have the same protective energy for jimin that they do tae. and i will never say don’t defend tae, there are some insane shippers out there but i wish they’ve give jimin and jungkook the same grace

and as for taekookers, i hope you’re not serious. they would have such distain and hatred for jimin even if jikook weren’t popular. that reason is all because they see what jikook have, they hate it, they can’t hate jungkook for the way he treats jimin so they put all their hatred towards jimin. it’s really simple. i see how people might think jkkers have been gaining that terrible reputation lately but in my eyes that’s always shut down quickly, tkkers hate for jimin is normalized in this fandom now

yes, let’s not act like them but if i see something that shows a clear difference between how jikook is treated within the fandom then i will call it out

[akookminsupporter]

In my opinion, posting a photo or video where you're sitting on someone’s legs is definitely something couple-like. It’s not a random or casual gesture, especially between two guys..and especially when you know your fanbase analyzes every single detail you post.

If you're a celebrity with millions of followers, every post sends a message. So if you choose to show that kind of physical closeness, you know people are going to see it as romantic or intimate. Even if you try to pass it off as just friendship, you know that’s not how it’s going to be perceived.

So yeah: it’s either a couple thing, or it’s someone trying to show (or create) a certain kind of closeness on purpose. Either way, it’s not neutral.

What really gets on my nerves about people like you is how quick you are to throw everything out the window just because Jungkook or Tae does one tiny, completely insignificant thing. It honestly takes the bare minimum from either of them for you to completely overlook everything Jikook has done, even the things that have happened recently. Actually, it is not even about dismissing Jikook exactly. It is more than anything Tae or Jungkook does; they seem to carry so much more weight in your eyes, as if whatever they do automatically matters more.

So, let’s be honest, you are not as neutral or “open-minded” as you like to pretend. You act as if you're not against Jikook, as if you're being reasonable, but deep down, you clearly do not believe it is real, or you simply do not want it to be real. That is your right. If you do not ship them, fine. If you do not see the connection or do not think it means anything, fair enough. No one’s asking you to force yourself to believe in something you don’t genuinely see. But what is exhausting is the constant mental gymnastics you go through just to convince yourselves and others that your bias or doubt is somehow objective or logical. It is not. You’re just twisting things to fit whatever makes you feel more comfortable.

You cling to this idea, but it is all surface-level. And when you are only pretending to believe something, anything at all, no matter how small, is enough to make you doubt it or switch sides completely.

The pictures Tae posted were completely harmless. They do not mean anything unless you are actively trying to give them meaning. And if that is the case, then what does it say that he included a photo of Jimin, half-naked, right in the middle of them? You cannot pick and choose what matters just because it fits whatever narrative you are chasing this week.

You can't have it both ways. You can’t scream significance when it's something that feeds into your preferred idea and then turn around and dismiss that very same logic when it complicates the picture. It’s dishonest, and frankly, a bit desperate. Picking and choosing what to believe based on convenience rather than consistency makes it clear you’re not actually interested in truth or fairness. You’re interested in control, control over the narrative, over how others perceive these relationships, and even over your own discomfort.

[fatedkm]

i wonder how the other members feel when one is so very into ONLY posting another. lamsldksk like does RM ever think “damn where’s my insta story or posts from so&so” anyways i think there’s a clear difference in how certain things posted by the members are perceived by the fandom like we all can clearly see how different it would be if jimin was the one to post things like that especially if it was jikook

[fatedkm]

the reporters have been so bold and funny recently with jikook they have the cult on their ass now too. stay strong k-reporters you don’t wanna get contract allegations 😔
