When I say that Jimin really knows how to soft launch/hard launch his relationship with Jungkook I'm so freaking serious BECAUSE
He gives the most obvious clues ever like we had an era where he used to post selcas as answers to confirm the questions from jikookers which practically was him saying "Yes I'm dating Jungkook". On March 10 2022, Seoul concert he brought up the number 2315 and that day exactly marked 2315th day from Nov 8 2015 which some of us believe is the day they started dating. Then we had him dropping Jungkook's face in WHO mv and now we got him spelling out that the JM in Jungkook's knuckle tattoo is Jimin that too with the font of even that A being similar to the one on Jungkook's hand and the JM darkened. This happening from the concert in Busan, their hometown feels incredibly special đđ
Jimin has a really big mouth when it comes to showing us the bigger picture. He seems to live by the philosophy, "If I can't say it outright, I'll just drop the most obvious hints possible and have everyone thinking and talking about it".
Because bro just said this
The silence that followed... They were all left speechless that Jimin actually said that out loud and Hoseok trying to make it funny because THE SILENCE WAS DEFEANING đ
This is their couple dynamic where he can always rely on his bf to carry their essentials in his giant bag while going on trips, world tour and anywhere
And he has been making good use of Jungkook's items and letting us all know it too
Jimin when it comes to their relationship is so loud with his words. He will reveal the biggest things and let us do the math. He will casually say on live that Jungkook comes into his room, films him sleeping and then leaves. Though I think that he improvised it a bit to not give it out that they were sharing the room. But even the part he revealed itself was really crazy
We've seen Jungkook filming Jimin sleeping in AYS but that was when he was in an open space but here Jungkook goes into Jimin's room where he's sleeping to film him. And from how he said it its clear that its not just a one time thing but its happening multiple times. This kind of behavior happens when a person is romantically attracted to someone and cannot resist the urge to capture moments of them at all times. Its a very intimate moment and I've only read about it in some super romantic books and movies. And Jikook are that kind of romantic couple. So its no wonder why Jungkook has a phone dedicated to taking pics and videos of Jimin.
Jimin did it in the 2021 live too. Tae started this live while eating chicken and said that all members are having chicken in their own rooms. And then Jimin and Jungkook joins the live and in the TMI segment Jungkook mentions that he and Jimin shared a chicken. Together. In one room. Jimin must have seen it as an opening and he escalates it further saying that Jungkook comes into his room at odd times like 1:50 am and stays there for a few hours. He doesn't stop there but keeps adding more details that Jungkook visits his room morning, noon and night and stays there for hours doing nothing. Tae too adds his own piece saying that the last he visited Jimin's room he thought that it was indeed Jungkook's because Jungkook was the one who opened the door and greeted him. This revelation was followed by Tae grinning at them and again an awkward silence.
My most favorite among it was when Jimin said that waking up and seeing Jungkook is what he enjoys the most and the members booing him. But what I love the most is Jungkook's reaction. He was so tongue tied and flustered not knowing what to say to that
Though that answer was so cheesy Jimin was being brutally honest too. Because later through the LGO mv we got to know the layers to what Jimin said here. Jungkook gave us the complete picture by showing a very domestic side of him and Jimin, wearing couple pajamas and sharing the same room. Only the two of them were depicted with clear couple undertones whereas the others were shown in a platonic manner.
I was waiting to finally, finally write this post.
Keep Going.
So here I am after the release of AYS Seasons 1 & 2 â especially after Season 2, where people speculated that we might get an OST and that the âKeep Goingâ phrase in Season 1 was hinting at it. Season 2 released⊠and there was still no OST in sight.
I almost wrote this post back then itself, but then another theory started floating around â that maybe weâd get subunits in the Arirang album and thatâs when âKeep Goingâ would finally make sense. Never made sense to me but still I waited. Impatiently. And that theory too turned out to be false.
Honestly, from the very beginning â from the moment I saw âKeep Goingâ appear in the WHO MV followed by AYS Season 1 â I knew it had nothing to do with an OST or a subunit. Still, I thought, okay, letâs wait for official confirmation first.
And now after all this waiting, I can finally say it: Keep Going is Jikookâs private code. A code, just like 11/8 and the yellow-purple color palette they constantly use to hint at each other and their relationship. Since they canât say things explicitly, they communicate through these little symbols, phrases, parallels, and codes, leaving it to us to connect the dots and see the bigger picture.
First, letâs talk about âKeep Going.â The phrase originally comes from BTSâs song Young Forever. Dream, hope, keep going. The song talks about continuing forward with hope and moving toward your dreams despite the struggles. But later, the phrase became even more iconic because of Jimin himself. In 2018, during English interviews, he kept saying âJimin, you nice, keep going.â And it became such a huge meme that the second you hear âkeep going,â Jimin is literally the first thing that comes to mind.
Then in 2019, the phrase started appearing in BT21 content specifically connected to Cooky (Jungkook), especially around workout-related posts:
So this phrase that started in a BTS song slowly became something repeatedly highlighted around just two members: Jimin and Jungkook. Like this phrase started becoming associated with them.
And then years later, July 2024 happens. Jimin drops WHO â a song where heâs literally singing about searching for and longing for his forever love. And right when he sings âWho is my heart waiting for?â a billboard with Jungkookâs face (YES!!!) drops alongside the phrase Keep Going and WHO:
That moment sealed the deal, guys! Jimin deserves more acknowledgement and this deserves to be spoken at least once a day if you're a jkkr. Because he literally said "Consequences be damned my bf needs to be shown on the screen with major hints if I can't say it out loud that its Jungkook". Because suddenly Jimin was using a phrase already strongly associated with both him and Jungkook in a song about the love of his life â while directly placing Jungkook's face on the center of it.
And if anyone still somehow had doubts, he made sure to clear it all. By emphasizing it again in AYS Season 1. Double underlined too, mind you:
Honorable mentions:
1) There's that yellow-purple again
2) Interlude: Showtime being 1:18 mins long
That number 11/8 and showtime
3) 11/8 being the launch time for AYS trailer (Showtime indeed)
Major codes checked!
If anyone needs lessons on soft-launching and hard-launching a relationship, itâs genuinely these two, y'all. Jimin and Jungkook! They have been doing this for at least 10 years now, slowly leveling up their hints every single year.
They're in a competition with themselves on how far they can take this leaving us all breathless. Let it be matching jackets on Valentines day, a trip to Disneyland as a birthday gift, love confessions through GCFs, ear suck and I love you signs in public while you know the whole world is watching and recording you, showing off hickeys from your bf in front of the cam letting the world know that you immensely enjoy carrying his marks on your body, the Maison Margela necklace on Silver day highlighting the 11/8 code, romantic getaways named AYS, tattooing your bf's name and flaunting it everywhere knowing that its serving the purpose of a wedding band, using everything in your power to make sure you won't get separated for the mandatory ms, flying across oceans to surprise your bf on his birthday, including only him in your debut album which you consider as your personal diary and feels that its wrong to include others but not him because he's your other half and also the person to whom you're gifting that particular song and the list goes on...
Also Jimin's pattern of supporting his bf's brand:
Hey everyone! How are you all doing? I know you all are eagerly waiting for the most anticipated comeback. And its almost here, just a few more hours to go!
Itâs been quite a while since I last posted anythingâmy exams are coming up in less than two months, so things have been really hectic. But I finally found some time to write and here I am. So let's get into it!
Do you know who the biggest Jikook enthusiasts in this world are? Itâs Jikook themselves â Jimin and Jungkook. They have been at it for years. No matter who tried to cut their wings or shun them into silence with groundless rumors, they never backed down. They might step back for a bit, but only to pounce forward again â stronger, louder, and braver.
I always find it funny when people claim that Jikook are dating women. Itâs even funnier because there has never been a single piece of proof to support that claim. The âproofsâ they use are always things like matching accessories.
I have once talked about it here:
đŹ 1  đ 16  â€ïž 114 · Post by @jikooklove9795 · 1 video · Shippers are fighting really hard with each other and making up stories about Jungko
There was a whole drama last year saying that Jungkook was dating Winter and that he had been flaunting a Ralph Lauren cap to soft launch that he's dating her. It was not the first Jungkook was wearing Ralph Lauren. He started wearing clothes and caps from that brand since 2018, long before she even became the ambassador for the brand. Anyway who else was wearing that same cap in AYS2?
For an entire episode, it was Jimin who wore Jungkook's Ralph Lauren cap. So which boyfriend gives a couple item he supposedly shares with his âgirlfriendâ to his best friend? Especially something that was a "proof" of them dating? Iâve never seen Jungkook give the green jacket he matched with Jimin in the 2017 Valentineâs Day video to anyone else. Or the couple rings he shares with Jimin:
In the first picture they were wearing matching rings on Diary Day which is a couple day in SK.
Then there were the so-called matching couple tattoos đ€Ą There was not a single clear picture, but people decided that Jungkook had gotten a couple tattoo with Winter. What was most likely just a bandaid (he had just come out of the military and had several scars all over his body while filming AYS2) was AI-edited into something else to start a hate campaign against him.
Some people even called him a coward for hiding the tattoo (which never existed in the first place), while contradicting themselves by claiming he was flaunting the cap, the shorts. Logic? Not found because these people refuse to use their brain moving only with the intention of hurting someone successful and thriving in their life and career. Imagine calling Jungkook a coward while hiding behind burner accs. But really? Jungkook? A coward? Heâs one of the most honest and sincere celebrities I have ever seen. He's a real sweetheart who needs to be showered with love and support. Back to tattoos, yes he has been proudly flaunting a tattoo for a very, very long time â the JM tattoo. Always dark and always right in our faces:
And no matter what some say, he definitely knows how that tattoo looks and how its read. Remember him picking out that J and M from the PAJAMA PARTY, sticking it to his chest and calling out Jimin's name?
This was in 2019 just a few weeks before he got his knuckle tattoos.
Now letâs talk about matching clothes. Jikook were wearing each otherâs clothes in AYS2 â from pajamas to pants to hoodies. Theyâve worn it all.
And its not the first time either. They have been wearing each other's clothes, even worn out clothes since long back. Jimin even wore Jungkook's sweater the other has worn all throughout that day to bed:
This is a very couple coded pattern and to do this is very intimate and Jimin and Jungkook were doing this on camera where millions could see it.
On Christmas Eve 2025, when the last episode of AYS2 aired, Jimin archived all his previous IG posts and uploaded 22 new pictures of himself. But one of those pictures included Jungkook â the 13th photo. Jungkook was also the first one to show up in Jimin's old IG posts with this pic on White Day:
That's a real boyfriend reveal there that too on a couple day. And to this day, the only other person Jimin has posted and tagged on his IG account is Jungkook. Just like how Jungkook was the only other person featured in Jiminâs debut album FACE.
Now about that white iPhone â Jungkookâs iPhone that keeps appearing in Jiminâs pictures. When Jimin posted those photos holding the white iPhone on Instagram, I instantly knew it was Jungkookâs because we heard him mention it during the Whatâs In My Bag session. And Jimin makes sure to constantly remind us about this sentence that Jungkook himself said by posting pics where he he's seen holding that particular phone.
We also saw Jimin in that bunny hoodie, right? When Winter wore a bunny costume to her birthday party, people called it âproof.â But when Jimin wore it⊠sigh
And this is Jikook wearing color coordinated outfits from the same brand:
They were also spotted multiple times wearing outfits from Maison Mihara Yasuhiro from 2023 till now.
If this was done by a man and woman people would be all over the sm claiming that they're dating:
In the above pic notice how there are 10 moons in Jungkook's photo card and 3 crowns in Jimin's photo card which becomes 13 which is their favorite number and Jimin's birthdate.
Or when Jungkook chooses to watch Boda channel on his live something which Jungkook isn't into but its actually Jimin who watches it. Or when Jungkook's black sofa set was seen in Jimin's apartment during his live. Proof of dating right??!! But I guess weâre not getting that dating rumors for Jikook because in the latter case both people involved are men. In this world, everyone is straight by default unless they hold a press conference and come out. But in the former case, people will take it upon themselves to decide that this man is dating that woman based on nothing but âtrust me, broâ sources.
And then the insecure jkkrs jump in with comments like, âTheyâre not exclusive. No way heâs not having fun when he has countless opportunities.â Honestly, that sounds like projection from that particular group. And I would just like to say "Just because you drift that way doesnât mean monogamous people donât exist. There are people who are perfectly satisfied with just one person for their entire life". And we are talking about Jimin and Jungkook here. Jungkook who doesn't approve his partner peeling a perilla leaf for someone else because thats a boundary for him:
And Jimin who slipped up in the 2022 after Busan concert live when Jungkook read a fan comment "Jungkook marry me" while he has the time of his life laughing so hard reading similar comments about Yoongi or Taehyung:
And there's this:
đŹ 7  đ 12  â€ïž 132 · Someone tell Jimin that he's so bad at faking it:
That HAHAHA đđđđ
I'm laughing at him now, but this is exactly me whe
It's so hilarious that it has me wheezing đ
Now letâs talk about the live â Jungkookâs live on February 26th. I could tell he was really frustrated about not being able to fully open up to the fans. Thatâs probably why he said what he said during that live.
Jungkook mentioned that if he were doing music on his own, he would have told us everything, but because he's signed to an agency he canât. And I kept wondering what exactly he meant. Some people assumed he was talking about a girlfriend. But I can't agree with that. After all, he talked about his ex-girlfriend on AHL back in 2014 when he was still very young and the group had just begun to rise. He also recently shared the story about having a girl crush in AYS2. And there has been countless baseless rumors linking him to women all the way from 2023 till now and a lot of the people in the fandom believed it too. So clearly, its not about having a girlfriend.
But what about having a boyfriend? That would be a completely different situation. Imagine the biggest band in the world having a gay couple â especially a duo that is already among the least favored. A duo that is often ignored by much of the fandom or hated simply for existing. Put their country, the industry into the mix. I mean even non celebrity, ordinary people in the LGBTQ community are very cautious about these topics. So we can imagine what the stance of the company would be regarding such things.
But despite all of that, Jimin and Jungkook have put in a lot of effort to make sure their relationship is visible â that itâs out there for those who truly pay attention. But also making sure there's a veil of protection for them taking into consideration that they're part of a band.
Jungkook wore a Chrome Hearts pendant during this live â the exact same model that Jimin has. The live where he said he was going to live his life his way while wearing a couple item:
Jimin first debuted this necklace on Silver Day 2025 during the Jikook live, and since then heâs been seen wearing it constantly. Just like how he debuted the Maison Margiela necklace â the one with the 11/8 lore behind it â on Silver Day 2022, which was also the day of Hoseokâs JITB party. And we all remember the Jikook moments from that day, right?
During the Silver Day Jikook live, we literally saw Jungkook touching and caressing that necklace:
Then again, during the group live in December 2025, he mentioned it and asked Jimin, âOh Jimin, you found the necklace.â Then in the Feb 2026 live Jungkook appears wearing a Chrome hearts pendant matching with that of Jimin.
How can we forget the stationhead in 2023 where Jungkook openly said that he doesnât have a girlfriend and doesnât feel the need to have one. Then a few hours later, he posted the TikTok video with the caption âI go the other wayâ while womenâs names were being said in the background. And then he deleted it â but only after making sure it was out there. People had already seen it, saved it, and will talk about it. He couldnât have been more clearer about what he meant there. He would've been really frustrated with what was happening around that time for him to directly address that and then to almost expose himself with that TikTok and the caption.
Jungkook is very aware of how his actions come across. The way he interacts with Jimin is distinctly differentâwhether itâs the constant stream of pick-up lines he saves just for him, personally decorating his studio for Jimin's bday in 2021, or the soft, doting way he treats him. Carrying his things, volunteering to do things for him, cooking for him, cutting up his food, even praising the smallest things Jimin does especially his barely there cooking skills âit all adds up to a kind of attention he doesnât really direct at anyone else.
He also doesnât shy away from engaging with how people perceive them. From joining Jikook group chats on fancafe, to letting usernames like âkookminaredatingâ into his game gc, to deliberately reading comments like âI love himâ and âYou guys look good togetherâ during their Silver Day liveâit feels intentional. Even little moments stand out, like him instantly linking a 1995 song to Jimin, despite others in his life sharing that same birth year like his brother and Tae. It just shows that his thoughts naturally circle back to Jimin.
And Jungkook knows this isnât subtle. The difference in how he treats Jimin is obvious, and rather than toning it down, he is comfortable letting it be seen.
Jimin too expresses things in an equally telling way. Heâs openly said that seeing Jungkook first thing in the morning makes him happy. Or how its seeing Jungkook happy that in turn made him happy on the day of a birthday surprise arranged for him in Riyadh. Its his big day but his happiness comes from seeing his bf happy and that's why Jungkook confidently said that he makes Jimin the happiest. Its the way he takes Jungkook on outings with his group of friends (both celebrity and non celebrity) which he hasn't done with anyone else. When he talked about their ms days, it came across less like casual reminiscing and more like recalling romantic scenarios between a couple. He chooses adrenaline filled activities âeven the ones he personally isnât intoâjust because he knows Jungkook loves them. And keeping their stargazing photo as his lockscreen says a lot on its own.
Then there are the bedroom TMIs heâs sharedâlike Jungkook being in his room constantly during tours, even during their dorm days, coming into his room while heâs asleep, standing there watching him, taking pictures of him and Jungkook's reaction to this was to intertwining their pinkies and sing to him "I'll come to you". This particular incident was revealing in a very intimate way. Its the kind of detail that feels deeply personal, private, and naturally makes people see their dynamic as something that goes beyond what youâd typically expect from just friendship.
Both Jimin and Jungkook have been putting it out into the world, what kind of relationship they shareâdropping hints that theyâre boyfriends. Whatâs interesting is that the hints havenât stayed subtle; theyâve grown stronger, more intense, and harder to deny as the years have passed.
From Jungkook posting that picture with a hickey from Jimin in Dec 2016, to Jimin repeatedly doing the whole Yes im dating Jungkookâ saga since 2017:
đŹ 24  đ 59  â€ïž 282 · Adding this to the list:
THIS IS SO CRAZY
Then upgrading it in a huge way by dropping Jungkookâs photo in an official MV in 2024 and aligning it perfectly as an answer to the lyrics "Who is my heart waiting for". From Jungkookâs GCFT in 2017, which many locals thought was a gay couple on vacation (which it was), to Jungkookâs confession through GCFS in 2018 and I absolutely love their SMA moments that year. It looked like they were newlyweds. Even the idol sitting next to them were side eyeing them because how they were behaving with each other that day. Then there was the RB ear-suck moment, flying 14 hours with limited editions gifts to surprise the boyfriend on his bday and arrange a surprise bday party for him, Jungkook posting love letter style bday messages for the Jimin on sm in 2019 and the way both of them were trying to make it obvious that they were living together in 2020 with multiple moments throughout the year pointing to it.
Then in 2021, there were the airport momentsâ both of them arriving together for departures, waiting almost half an hour for the other to arrive so they could leave together and go home. In 2022, Jungkook posted a literal thirst trap as a birthday wish for Jimin. In 2023, there were all those lives filled with pining because the boyfriend was busy and drowning in work schedules, flirting openly through said lives. Then Jimin came up with the idea for AYS, creating a space where he could freely travel and spend time with his boyfriend.
And the details kept getting louder: Jimin wearing a 1997 model watch, setting it to Jungkookâs birth time before starting a live on Jungkookâs birthday. Then the two of them enlisting together for military service because they didnt want to spend 18 months apart and right after being discharged in 2025, immediately taking a trip together. Attending Jinâs concert, clinging to each other, leaving together. They really looked lovesick that day like they couldn't get enough of each other despite having spend 18 months together and then after vacationing together for almost 2 weeks. And then we had that Silver Day live. Choosing to come live on a couple day celebrated widely in their country in itself was a statement. Just like how they wore matching outfits and posted a video on Valentine's day in 2017. And if I say that Jungkook was constantly looking in Jimin's direction while performing Seven on HOTS Final:
Each year, they pushed things a little furtherâmade it a little more obvious.
Ever since they came back from their companion service, people started talking about them. Not just shippersâmany others noticed that something seemed to be going on between them. It probably even reached a point where it felt like they were revealing too much. That it was becoming dangerous. As a result after that July live, their on-camera interactions almost completely disappeared until the AYS2 promotions began towards the end of 2025.
And honestly, it doesnât feel like that was purely Jikookâs decision to stay low-key. Because if anything, their pattern over the years has been the opposite: wanting to be seen more and more, wanting to show where their heart lies.
That's the thing about love. When you have an incredible relationship, when you're proud of what you haveâwhen you have a boyfriend who brings you happiness, stability, and joy, when he makes you feel so loved and treats you like you're the most important person in this world âwhen the relationship is strong and secure, and youâve promised each other a forever, thereâs often this deep desire to share it with the world. To let people know that youâre happily taken. To celebrate it because it brings you happiness. And it really does feel like thatâs exactly what Jimin and Jungkook have been experiencing, year after year.
I get why the translations were overflowing with bro, brother, younger brother, older brother, manâthe editors were fighting for their lives trying to neutralize the overflowing Jikook gay energy on the other side. They were clearly in a war, trying to counter the overwhelming gay energyâand losing. If they cut any more scenes, there wouldnât be a show left so instead, they tried balancing it out with a lot of very deliberate brotherly framing.
But let's respect the struggle. Because this is what they were dealing with:
đ°: Having a cozy time alone at a hotel with Jiminie Hyung
đ°: Looks like we'll have to sleep in the same bed
His over enthusiasm, that smug look and hip wiggle after saying that he and Jimin will be alone in that hotel room. This can only be interpreted in one way.
And then the camera is turned off đ
Jungkook knows this particular expression from Jimin by heart. Look at how quickly he answered. And now we too know how Jimin tempts him in the bedroom:
His Jimin wired brain making anything and everything about Jimin:
Once again we have them sharing clothes. This time Jimin is wearing Jungkook's pajamas and Jungkook is wearing Jimin's pajama pants:
Lifting up that t-shirt was a necessity. He really can't keep his hands away from Jimin's ass. Slapping, grabbing, squeezing, holding, he's doing it all:
When Jimin bit into the chocolate, some syrup/liquor fell onto the plate from his mouth, and Jungkook tasted that same syrupâwhich had Jiminâs saliva in itânot once but twice:
Even after all those cuts every five minutes and the heavy pushing of a âbrotherlyâ narrative in the translations, the editors are still losing. Because on the other side, itâs Jimin and Jungkook. No matter how much they try to frame it differently, that couple energy is bound to surface. Itâs instinctual. It's natural. And thats why it always finds a way out.
Shippers are fighting really hard with each other and making up stories about Jungkook, desperately trying to connect him to a womanâany woman.
This is how they use coincidences to start a rumor:
đŹ 13  đ 17  â€ïž 147 · Jimin & Jungkook: We're the plot. Try to keep up ·Â
When I logged in yesterday, I got a few asks about dating rumors.
They often use random clothing and accessories as âproofâ of datingâeven though the same items are worn by countless other celebrities. Because of this, Jungkook ends up being linked to a new woman almost every week based on these so-called âproofs.â But in contrast, weâve actually seen Jungkook explicitly ask Jimin to buy similar clothes so they could match. Then there's Jimin mentioning that heâs wearing CK briefs, and Jungkook saying that he likes it. And the Ralph Lauren cap that some shippers were so attached to? We later saw Jimin wearing it in AYS2. Or the Wolli keychain that we first saw Jimin carrying and then it was attached to Jungkook's bag. We had Jungkook wearing Jimin's hoodie in AYS2:
We also saw Jimin and Jungkook wearing matching couple pajamasâjust the two of themâand sharing a room in the LGO MV. The MV about which Jungkook, the director, said was meant to reflect reality. They wore matching jackets on Valentines Day 2017 while giggling and playing around each other and shared it publicly for everyone to see. On Valentines Day. A day universally associated with couples. Thatâs how real couples share and match clothes or accessoriesâthrough mutual acknowledgment. And not in the way some of these shippers claim as "proofs" where one group of shippers uses an item he wears one week to link him to a woman, and another group uses a different item the next week to ship him with someone else.
If Jungkookâs actions, words, or even AYS hadnât already made it obvious, his last live was the answer to who that special person is for him. Itâs Jimin. The person he is always thinking about. The person he treats differently. Because what do you mean his only thought when he saw that a song was released in 1995 was Jimin? He didnât even pause for a second to think about Taeâor even Jungkookâs own brotherâwho was also born in 1995.
Jimin was not exaggerating when he said "He always thinks of me":
Jimin is the person Jungkook looks at differently. The person he has openly said he leans on and finds the most comfort in. The person he showers with compliments even for the simplest thingsâpeeling garlic, cutting onions, heating frozen food, frying eggs. We all remember how Jungkook was the only one who kept eating the food made by Jimin and Namjoon during the Run BTS cooking game, even when the other members said it wasnât good. Or how, in ITS2, he said Jiminâs ramen was delicious even before tasting it. Jungkook also encourages Jimin and praises him for trying things he's afraid of. You can see how he's been consistently doing this for years.
Itâs for Jimin that Jungkook goes above and beyond. Whether itâs the way he celebrates birthdaysâbuying a birthday present only for Jimin to show him that heâs special. And he didnât even give it secretly, worrying about what the other members might think. He gave it to him openly, in front of everyone making it clear to them too that Jimin is special to him. This was for Jimin's bday in 2016. In 2017 he stepped up his game to a whole other level.
In 2021 Jungkook personally decorated his own studio, got a customized cake and let Jimin do his birthday live there. In 2022 Jungkook said his Mom prepared sea weed soup on Jimin's bday which is a deeply intimate gesture.
Itâs in the way he makes Jimin stand out in his GCFs. His very first GCF was deeply personal, solely focused on Jimin. Jimin is the only member who got a solo GCF. The amount of effort Jungkook put into this whole trip is truly admirable because he's not someone who enjoys sightseeing or traveling yet he arranged everything on his own, willingly going beyond his comfort zone only for Jimin.
We had GCFS which I like to call a public love confession. Confessing his feelings for Jimin by syncing the lyrics âI donât wanna hide no more, I donât wanna lie no more, what I found in you is so realâ twice only at those moments Jimin appears on screen. He said everything which needs to be said through this GCF.
The way Jungkook behaves with Jimin is so telling. Jungkook's protective stance really stands out when it comes to Jimin. He defends him, talks back to other members when they tease him. Carrying things for him. Dropping honorifics. Jimin's the only member who Jungkook is particularily keen on doing this with and this really stood out in AYS2.
Jungkook has a never-ending reserve of pick-up lines, which heâs been using on Jimin over the years. I'm still thinking about his 11:11 comment. He also has a knack for reading shipping comments about them. No matter how fast they move he's laser focused on finding those comments and reading it aloud.
He openly walked around with a hickey from Jimin, not letting anyone touch it. He doesnât even think about covering itâinstead, he talks about it, explaining that itâs from Jimin. That shows he doesnât want to hide it but rather let people know. And this isnât the first time. We saw the same thing back in 2016, when he also dropped hints about who gave it to him which was easy to figure out from Jimin's immediate reaction to Jungkook using that certain pic on him to make Jimin stay for the live.
Itâs also in the way Jimin lets us know that Jungkook spends almost all his time in Jiminâs hotel room. Weâve seen countless other situations where Jungkook squeezes into small spaces, asks other members to move overâor sometimes doesnât even ask and just gently pushes themâso he can be next to Jimin. At times, he overtakes other members just to sit beside him. And when someone is already sitting next to Jimin, Jungkook will stand there for a moment, staring at that space. He likes spending almost all his time with Jimin both on and off cam. And that's how he rightfully earned the title of Satellite Jeon:

We saw him do Jimin-centered livesâwatching Jiminâs interviews (like Suchwita, which he said he was watching for the first time), playing Jiminâs songs, and even watching those compilation videos of BTS teasing Jimin. We saw how Jungkook lit up like a Christmas tree whenever Jimin left a comment on his live and saw him flirt with Jimin on live with making us all third wheels.
We saw the shift from Jungkook avoiding talking about military service in early 2023 to being relaxed and openly discussing it in September 2023âafter his application for companion enlistment with Jimin was approved.
And less than three weeks before their enlistment, Jimin and Jungkook flew to Japan for AYS. We heard Jungkook repeatedly talk about how happy he felt during those trips, how he was making memories to take with him and reminisce about during enlistment. He said all this when he already knew he would be spending the next 18 months with Jimin. And he called those trips the best trips of his life. He talked about how he wants to continue doing AYS till they're in their 50s.
People who are preparing for mandatory military serviceâor going through similar situationsâknow just how precious the time before enlistment or moving away is. Couples choose to spend that time with each other and that's exactly what Jungkook and Jimin did too.
Jimin and Jungkook spend 18 months of their ms together and finally when they're discharged they again choose to spend time together and set out on a trip.
Some of us had been saying that AYS was a disguise for them to spend quality time together when their schedules kept them separated and now weâve gotten confirmation straight from Jungkook. In recent AYS promos, Jungkook himself said that even though heâs not a fan of sightseeing, he enjoyed the trips because being with Jimin was funâand that filming was simply an excuse to travel.
All of this always comes back to one person. Jimin. He's the center of it all. Itâs because of Jimin. It's for Jimin. The way Jungkook treats Jimin makes him not just a green flag but a whole green forest. An Evergreen forest.
And Jungkook isnât hiding anythingâhe wears his heart on his sleeve, openly and unapologetically, letting the world see where it belongs. What makes it even more striking is the consistency. This isnât a fleeting moment or a one-time gesture, but something he has shown steadily over the years. If anything, time has only amplified it. As the years go by, the depth of his love for Jimin becomes clearer, reflected in the way he looks at him, chooses him, and gravitates toward him without hesitation. The ease and confidence with which he expresses it makes it impossible to overlookâhis affection is loud. It's constant, intentional, and increasingly undeniable.
Jimin and Jungkook really are the âYou're me, Iâm youâ coupleâloving each other in the same language, matching each otherâs effort, and openly showing where their hearts belong. Because just as Jungkook wears his love for Jimin so openly, Jimin, too, goes above and beyond for Jungkook, meeting him with the same depth and devotion:
đŹ 24  đ 59  â€ïž 268 · Adding this to the list:
THIS IS SO CRAZY
Jungkook is the only member who has been allowed into Jimin's friend group. We have seen him hanging out with Jimin's friends a lot of times. Jimin has said that he doesn't share his friends but Jungkook is an exception to this. Likewise Jimin too has said that he hangs out with Jungkook's friends.
Weâve seen time and again how Jungkook instinctively runs to Jiminâwhether heâs at his happiest or when heâs stressed, overwhelmed, or sad. Jimin is the person he turns to without hesitation. One moment that stands out clearly is in Chile, when Jungkook collapsed from exhaustion. In the background of the backstage interview, you can see Jimin rushing to get to himâskipping the interview entirely, not even sparing a glance at the cameras. He was the only one, aside from the medical staff, who stayed in the room after everyone else left, giving Jungkook the privacy he needed while he was incapacitated. It mirrors that time when Jungkook injured his foot and needed stitches, and Jimin stayed by his side constantly. These moments show where Jungkook finds his comfort.
Weâve seen countless moments where Jungkook answers on Jiminâs behalf when asked what makes him happiestâand each time, he does so with complete confidence, saying itâs him. And Jimin consistently agrees to it. Jimin himself has said that waking up and seeing Jungkook makes him the happiest, which once again ties back to how they were shown sharing a room in the LGO MV. Even during his surprise birthday celebration at the Riyadh concert in 2019, Jimin said that seeing Jungkook happy made him happy. It was his birthday celebration, yet Jungkook still remained at the center of that momentâshowing just how deeply intertwined their happiness is.
Their bond is built on mutual comfort, emotional and physical reliance and prioritization. More than anything, it reflects a relationship rooted in consistency and reciprocity, where their happiness is intertwined.
They do not hide how they feel about each other or that the way they treat each other is different from everyone else. It comes through naturally in their words, through their actions, and in the way they consistently choose one another. Again and again, they prioritize each otherâthrough attention, reassurance, and presenceâregardless of the situation or who is watching. It's a certainty that shows up over time, making the distinction unmistakable. The way they move through the world with each other speaks of trust, familiarity, and a love that doesnât need to be explained because itâs already being lived openly.
A few moments from AYS2 episodes 3&4 that really stuck with me (not in any particular order):
Jungkook was feeling extra affectionate and clingy, nuzzling into Jimin and doing PDA:
Jimin wanted to cook for Jungkook, but he was struggling with it. Jungkook stepped in to help because he thought Jimin really wanted to eat it, when in reality Jimin just wanted to cook something for Jungkook. This is the most cutest misunderstanding because both were trying to take care of each other:
Jungkook praises Jimin for even the smallest of things like chopping garlic, cutting onions, heating frozen foods, frying eggs. He hypes those small things too much and even Jimin is too aware of it that he gets shy:
He praises Jimin not because the task is impressive but because Jimin is the one doing it. Its his way of saying "Your efforts matter". He celebrates even the tiniest mudane actions because its done by the person he loves.
So this was exactly what the restaurant lady meant when she said Jungkook grilled the meat, put it in Jimin's bowl, rolled it up, fed him, blew his soup for him and asked Jimin to be careful because the food was hot:
They just had to make it more wild:
The same energy in these videos though Jimin is just talking about a classmate:
đŹ 3  đ 4  â€ïž 62 · Someone tell Jimin that he's so bad at faking it:
That HAHAHA đđđđ
I'm laughing at him now, but this is exactly me when
This cut where Jimin goes into Jungkookâs room to say goodnight â what was the reason? What was the reason, editors? Will we see it in the behind the scenes, or did you leave it out because it was a goodnight kiss??!!
He can't resist it Jimin, and you're lowkey flexing:
Cap, glasses. They said "ITS OURS":
And this Wolli keychain that Jimin was carrying first and then we see it attached to Jungkook's bag. Did they both get one each or... Editors will you show this in the behinds?
Jungkook's always carrying those bags himself not letting Jimin lift a finger:
Have yâall noticed how for most part of this season so far, Jungkook is calling Jimin âJiminâ without the âhyungâ?
And his habit of always going to Jimin when heâs stressed, hurt, or needs advice â because he knows that no matter what, Jimin will always be there for him. That he can always lean on him.
Hyung left the chat:
The romantic in Jimin, setting this moment of him and Jungkook stargazing as his lock screen. Lock screen is the first thing you see when you pick up your phone. It reminded me of how he said that waking up in the morning and seeing Jungkook makes him happy. Or how Jungkook has said many times that he's the reason for Jimin's happiness. Or how in 2019 during their Riyadh concert when Jimin's bday was celebrated, he said that seeing Jungkook happy made him happy:
Jungkook is always taking pictures of Jimin â whether heâs standing, sitting, eating, sleeping, or doing absolutely nothing. Itâs the kind of admiration my words canât even do justice to. He captures Jimin in every kind of moment because he treasures them all, simply because itâs Jimin heâs spending those moments with. He simply loves the way Jimin exists:
Love this!!! Got it in Sapporo and now in Matterhorn:
Jungkook really loves leaning on Jimin. Literally and metaphorically.
Jungkook openly signing "I love you" to Jimin in front of every camera and every watching eye:
Jungkook lifting his and Jimin's intertwined hands and holding them up proudly.
The iconic RB ear suck moment which broke the internet:
Its no surprise that Jungkook always finds a way to be close to Jimin. Heâll intentionally lose games just to room with him, give up a room he won so he can sleep on the couch beside him, squeeze himself into cramped spots just to sit close, and even in the military, their helmet numbers made it clear he was the one who initiated the companion system so they could stay together. For Jungkook, the priority has always been the same: spending every possible moment with the person he loves.
The way they're practically molded into each other in these pics:
This picture is so sweet and romantic. The way theyâre both turned toward each otherâespecially Jungkook, whoâs facing Jimin instead of the sunset, even though the sunset is one of the most beautiful sights you can look at. But honestly, itâs not surprising. For him, Jimin is prettier than the clouds.
This is the same man who called the garlic Jimin chopped âpretty.â Garlic. Chopped garlic.
Sir, we say finely chopped nicely choppedânot pretty.
JUNGKOOK STAND UP BRO!!!
This picture is waving a giant rainbow flag at us đ
The "My bf got tickets and arranged everything to celebrate my birthday" pic:
They completely owned this nightâjust like the night they attended Jinâs concert. When youâre that in love, the whole world fades and itâs like nothing else around you even exists. You donât even notice the crowdâyou only see each other:
Jungkook's foolproof method to fluster his bf:
Stare at him with that quiet, devoted look... the kind that makes Jimin blush, his cheeks turning pink and unable to hide his smile
Jungkook's smile and the hand on his heart after this moment. He got so overwhelmed. It hit him right in the heart and he couldn't hide it:
A pic showing an ungaurded moment:
No words are needed. Their love shines through in every look, every smile, every gesture. Even in photos captured unexpectedly, their emotions speak louder than anything they could ever say. Each touch, each glance, each quiet moment together spills through the camera in its most raw and honest form, making us feel the depth of their connection as if we were there with them. Itâs a love so natural, so unguarded, that it reaches across the screen and reminds us just how powerful and tender true affection and love can be.
We all remember the 2023 weibo video, right? I once made a post saying I believed it was a staged videoâintentionally done by people trying to sabotage Jungkook:
đŹ 19  đ 22  â€ïž 183 · I do believe theyâve been in a long term romantic relationship for a long time. One point that us jikookers tend to avo
At that time, Jungkook was living in Brunnen, and the apartment was rented by his company. He lived on the ground floor, surrounded by a courtyard with walls around it. But the weibo video showed a completely different locationâa top floor in the apartment complex, to be precise.
The people who staged that video pulled together furniture similar to what Jungkook had, got a Doberman similar to Bam, found a man with a silhouette similar to Jungkook's, and added a woman. They opened the curtains and windows, placed someone in the building opposite, and asked them to film it in the lowest possible resolution for just 13â14 seconds. Because if the video had been clearer or longer, everyone would have immediately caught their lies. The open curtains get me every time. Of course they had to open themâotherwise, how would they film it, right?
The video was posted, and what followed was a planned smear campaign against Jungkook, spreading malicious lies and character assassinating him. Iâm sure the people who orchestrated it were those with power, and that it came from within the industry.
And now itâs happening again. This time its AI videos, edited clips, photoshopped tattoo pictures, baseless rumors, and fabricated narratives being pushed everywhere. This isnât random. Whatâs happening now is a coordinated attack that was planned months in advance by companies within the industry, with SM being one of them. And Hybe isnât innocent eitherâthey share responsibility in all of this. These labels treat their artists like disposable pieces on a chessboard, using them as pawns for their media plays and industry politics. Instead of protecting them, they exploit them, seeing them as nothing more than cash cows to milk for profit. The lack of protection and the willingness to use their own artists to push agendasâitâs all part of the same toxic cycle.
Notice the timing when these rumors pop up. Expand your understanding, do your own research, and keep track of the industry as a wholeâlabels, stocks, company politics, different artists, different fandoms, the media, and even the political situation of the country. Only then will you be able to understand whatâs happening behind closed doors.
Always trust the artist. Trust Jungkook. He has always been sincere, honest, and genuine with us. He has given us so much of himself, trusted us with his vulnerability, and shown us his truest self without filters. And itâs during times like thisâwhen there are lies, rumors, and noiseâthat our trust matters the most. This is when we stand by him, when we return the love, loyalty, and faith heâs consistently shown us throughout the years. Heâs trusted us deeply, and the least we can do is continue giving him that same trust and support.
"You gave me butterflies". Bro using the Universal romantic code:
This was so insanely flirty and we were all basically third wheeling Jikook that day:
Jimin was so flustered:
Jungkook using the Army code to flirt with Jimin:
His đ always belongs to Jimin:
This can be translated to:
"You make my heart race like crazy when I'm around you".
This is one of Jungkookâs love languages â using cheesy pick-up lines on his boyfriend. He throws these cute, chaotic pick up lines at Jimin because he wants to make him smile, fluster him a little and show that he's paying attention. And we all have noticed Jungkook's smile after saying this right?! Its his way of saying "I love you" to Jimin even with an audience watching them.
Someone with a clear agenda: We need to create more rumors. We want everyone to believe that Jimin and Jungkook are straight. Whereâs my phone? Need to call her.
A pathetic loser bitch: Hey guys! Do you wanna see my Christmas tree? I made it as believable as possible but I couldn't get the same figurines. Excuse it and please buy into my lies.
The figurine in Jimin's live:
The figurine in Daeun's video:
At this point its literally predictable. More lies and rumors incoming because AYS2 is around the corner, and with the comeback and world tour coming up, some people are working nonstop to push their agenda and fabricate nonsense.
With everything thatâs happened from August until now, I have to be honest â Iâm not even surprised by the behavior of some âjkkrs.â
Some are suddenly claiming that what Jimin and Jungkook share is nothing more than friendship. Some say that what they have is an open relationship/fwb. Anything other than a stable relationship. Some say they feel âqueerbaitedâ by Jikook. Others are accusing them of cheating â cheating each other, cheating their supposed girlfriends, and whatever else they can come up with.
Itâs honestly a whole minefield at this point.
I know why some jkkrs dropped Jikook the moment those rumours appeared â without even pausing to check if any of it had substance, or choosing to accept it as truth while ignoring all the obvious plot holes. Itâs because theyâve always seen themselves as "above" other shippers because of how different Jikook is compared to other ships. That mindset â constantly looking down on others â made them terrified of ever being seen like "those shippers". They got so deep into that superiority complex that they even started downplaying Jikookâs moments and theories, worried it would make them look delusional if they acknowledged them. And that eventually made them woke to the point that now they're believing the words of people whose only goal is to hurt Jimin and Jungkook, and to damage their image with completely fabricated lies.
Thereâs also another group of "woke" jkkrs who donât want to fully leave the ship, but also refuse to stand firmly in it. What Jikook show is "gay enough" for them to ship, but somehow still not enough â not until Jikook come out and explicitly say theyâre in a long-term, committed relationship. Until that day, for this group, itâll always be "Jikook are in an open relationship, Jikook are just fwb," and whatever else fits their narrative.
And of course, theyâre willing to ignore every glaring plot hole in the rumours linking Jikook with women.
What if Daeun attached herself to Jungkook to make it look like they were dating? What if she did it at the same time she was spinning lies to connect herself to Jimin? What if sheâs been exposed multiple times as a liar?What if the whole situation looks suspicious from every angle? None of that matters to them. They made up their minds the second a woman entered the picture â same with Jungkookâs rumours. The inconsistencies in the video donât matter. The obvious edits donât matter. The fact that itâs another blurry, unrecognizable clip doesnât matter. Whether itâs real or fake doesnât matter. A woman is being linked to Jungkook, so to them it must be true. Because how could two handsome, rich, talented young men possibly be in a committed long-term relationship with each other, right? Thatâs the logic theyâre running with. So, to seem "chill" and "cool", theyâve started accepting anything thrown at them â and labeling anyone who questions it as delusional or not being "realistic".
To those who are crying loud about getting queerbaited, I dedicate this whole post to you:
đŹ 12  đ 39  â€ïž 251 · Must Be Fan Service Because God Forbid It's Just Genuine ·Â
I just watched that video of Jimin and Jungkook watching t
Some of them have created a whole storyline where Jikook break up every few months, get back together, date multiple women, and somehow cheat on each other too. But their narrative doesnât hold up because Jikook consistently behave like two people in a solid, long-term relationship â not whatever chaotic plot they're writing for them.
These people are determined to believe that Jikook arenât long-term, even when we literally had Jimin counting 2315 days from November 8, 2015 and finding a way to subtly celebrate it in front of an audience without blowing their cover. But of course, theyâll brush it off as a coincidence. Theyâll also dismiss Jungkook captioning his TikTok video with "I go the other way" just a few hours after the Stationhead where he kept getting asked about having a girlfriend. Theyâll ignore the person's face in the billboard in WHO a song where Jimin is singing about finding his forever person. Theyâll overlook every hint Jikook leave â because for them, itâs all just coincidence until Jikook literally spell it out in a press conference.
Itâs honestly disrespectful that the moment Jimin or Jungkook interact with a woman, some people immediately assume itâs something romantic. Why is friendship never the first thought? Theyâre allowed to have normal, friendly interactions with women. Why insist it has to be more than that? Imagine that someone sees you interacting with someone of the opposite gender and then spreads on social media that youâre hooking up. How would that feel? Thats such a sick take and you would only understand the pain behind it if you ever went through something like that being said about you. And these group of jkkrs are agreeing with the people spreading such disgusting lies about Jimin and Jungkook.
In the end, Jikook are still a closeted gay couple, and intentionally ignoring that context leads to all these twisted narratives.
Ship so real that antis have resorted to badly edited videos, AI pics and anything they can find to connect Jungkook with random women. Only people lacking common sense and a working brain are falling for those edits. Or the ones desperate to make him straight.
Does "I go the other way" scare you??!!
Honestly even the antis see what Jikook have more clearly than some insecure jkkrs at this point. Because just look at the timing. They all started spiraling since AYS2 was announced.
And its gonna get more worse so report, block the antis and send your love and support to both Jungkook and Jimin.
