If Kookmin was an actual real-life ship (passenger review)
Disclaimer: Fictional, but I hope the metaphors are clear.
If Kookmin was a an actual ship, I feel like Jimin would be its Captain and Jungkook would be its Chief Mate. It was a small but fast and state-of-the-art ship at the beginning, and Jimin himself managed it quite well by himself. But over time, the Captain with all his charm and charisma, successfully recruited the best Chief Mate in the business to join him, and they slowly upgraded their ship to a luxury cruiser together.
The entertainment and food on board is great. But the Captain is very selective with his passengers, and not only did he not sell tickets publicly, the cruiser’s whereabouts and when it docks for supplies are also a mystery to the world. He leave clues, so only the ones who find said clues will be able to find and board the cruiser during the short duration when it docks… I think the Captain is one who valued quality over quantity.
The Captain is not always aboard the cruiser; he sometimes goes on other ships (Minjoon, Jihope, Vmin, etc.), and freelance a bit, to help out his friends, whom he loves, and to also help out their company who owns all the ships.
When the Captain is absent, the Chief Mate takes over. Jungkook did not seem to care much about the number of passengers in the previous years, but recently, he probably thought it a waste that such a luxury cruiser remains mostly hidden from view, so when he gets the chance to take control, he drives the cruiser directly to port, blasts the music at full volume, and even hands out discount vouchers to as many as he can find, so people who had been paying attentions to the clues but had failed to find the vessel, AND people who previous had no idea of the existence of the cruiser can have an opportunity to board. The latter group of people would obviously be very critical and wonder if it’s all a hoax…
It was a rainy afternoon on 8 Nov 2017. And I was just wandering at port when I was attracted by Kookmin’s ad campaign “G.C.F in Tokyo”, it looked really good, so good that I could not pass the chance by, and so I boarded… And I think it’s about time I gave a review:
I need to report that I am still kinda stuck on this cruiser with good food, brilliant entertainment, great company, but I feel like both the Captain and the Chief Mate had no destination in mind just at present. They simply lure new passengers onto the cruiser, give them everything they need and want… BUT WE ARE JUST FLOATING AT SEA~~~~
Yeah, so, my only complaint is that I am confused why they are kidnaping us like this… Other than that, everything is beyond great. And if you don’t mind just enjoying the ride, do consider boarding. Either follow the trail left by Jimin, or get on board when Jungkook docks next.
Verdict: 💙💛💙💛💟 (four hearts and a half)
