Well hello!
Before I start this let me just say I am from the 40+ age band of the BTS fandom so this blogging malarkey is all very foreign to me and I am simply dipping my toe in for now and seeing what happens.
I was introduced to BTS by my daughter at the beginning of the 2020. Together we would watch the music videos and the odd episode of Run when she was home from university. Then came Covid, lockdowns, furlough from work and daughter home from uni for the foreseeable. We watched In The Soop and all the seasons of Bon Voyage. During these I quickly became aware that something was different between JK and JM, it was just extra. The glances, the stares, the need to be close to each other/touching, how they were often in their own bubble. My curiosity was triggered!Β
My nature is to research something I am interested in until I know everything (its a blessing and a curse). So i took to the internet and soon discovered the name Jikook :) I was directed to videos on YouTube and I must admit I watched my fair share of them and quickly fell in love with their love story. I watched as much original footage as I could as some of the edits were too much!Β
I felt a bit out of place on most of social media as many of the fans were young and their perspective didnβt always gel with mine. Then I stumbled upon Tumblr and some fellowΒ βolderβ Jikook supporters, it was such a relief. I took a deep dive into some very good blogs and the timeline for Jikook started to come together for me. I was exposed to the big moments (GCFβs and Rosebowl to name two) and the smaller, beautiful moments and my favourite...the domestic moments that show a content and very much in love couple. I also started to listen to them both, really listen to what they were saying and my belief in them was cemented and has not waivered since.Β
These men have my heart and Iβm not ashamed to say it! I just wish the world was a different place and they could have as much freedom as they wanted to openly be themselves.Β
