Well, I saw many on TikTok, X, Instagram and Tumblr who only read one sentence and drew conclusions without understanding the entire conversation that MiniMoni had
Here I will leave you one video and then the meaning of the word that JM used
Throughout this interesting conversation, JM used this Korean phrase ์ง์ฌ๋
As you can see, this Korean phrase is used when it's one-sided love/unrequited love. For this reason, the word crush used in the YouTube translation would be the closest.
Crush is different from falling in love
And crush is used more by young people because there JM explains that he asked the youngest of the group about what to write in rebirth.
And that's also why Nam shakes his hand, this reminds me of this phrase from my country "dรฉjame estrechar tu mano de poeta a poeta."
I don't know if I'll be the only one but at my age of 32, I'm not in the mood to have crushes anymore, in fact I haven't had one in a while and I don't even remember how it felt.
In my time we said "my impossible love"
Muse is not about his personal life, it's not about some relationship he had. Muse is the phase in which JM wanted to feel that emotion again that is similar to having a crush but on an artistic level.
The patience I have on Twitter to not tell tkkrs and korean jk stans to go to hellโฆ they simply have me fed up with their crap in not accepting that JKJM decided to enter the sm using the buddy system.
They are nothing more than disgusting homophobic shits.
[Q: Please tell me about what is companion enlistment system. How could they use companion system and enlist to Jin's 5th Division?]
I keep getting same question about 100 times a day.
Q: Should they only choose 5th Division?
A: No, they have 15 units to choose from. It seems that Jimin and Jungkook chose Jin's 5th division.
Q: Did someone force to submit an application?
A: No. They need to log in with bank certificate. It's not like others can submit their applications at will.
Q: Are they going to same unit?
A: Yes. Until they are discharged.

I'm tired of the fact that on Twitter, Tiktok, Facebook, and Tumblr, some people are misinforming (tkkrs, JK stans, agkaes) and using this to downgrade JKJM's bond.
If you don't fucking understand that Buddy System means 18 months together, you're stupid
The only relief after all this roller coaster of emotions yesterday is that they are together.
They decided to use the buddy system and I really admire that decision despite the repercussions that could happen.
IT HAPPENED.
However, at this point I care little or nothing what those people may think, because how do you straighten a tree that was born crooked?
The only thing that matters to me is the well-being of JKJM, that they protect and care for each other, they have each other so that support will never be lacking.
I feel disappointed for those people who didn't know how to value and appreciate the bond between JKJM but I know that little by little those people will leave the fandom. If I have something good to take away from this, it's that hopefully in these 18 months, those people will get bored of waiting and leave.
I appreciate you so much, stay strong, stay together and keep supporting each other.
Their bond and love is so unique and strong that no matter how much they want to attack them, JKJM's bond will become stronger.
It goes without saying the reasons why JKJM couldn't do a complete live.
They would be in their world, laughing and flirting, JM touching JK's chest, JK forgetting about personal space, talking and talking, forgetting that they're with army and in the end we' are're the third wheel.
Today was a clear example: shyness, gigglings, flirting, chemistryโฆ despite being in a group for 10 years they still have that dose that makes their relationship special. It's very interesting
Iโm seeing a lot of disappointment that JK is not given writing credits on any of the songs.
Itโs ok to feel however you want. Theyโre youโre own feelings. No one can change that.
However, you donโt have to write your own songs to feel something deep within while listening. Whether itโs the lyrics or the beat in general, music is personal.
How many BTS songs has JK sung over the years that he didnโt write and they have huge meaning to him and us in general? I bet most of you are here because a BTS song hit you so deeply you had to investigate further.
How many songs has he shared with us over the years by various artists that he point blank told us he liked, so much so that he played them on repeat?
What about There For You? Are we saying that song has no meaning because he didnโt write it?
Of course Iโd love a full album of Jungkook writing credits, but he told us in the past he prefers singing over writing. He told us it takes time. Time which he doesnโt have because he wants to leave and become a group again as quickly as possible.
Heโs not in the mood this year. Itโs his life, his choices..
Instead heโs chosen challenge himself in terms of genres and reach audiences. And heโs working a lot! Letโs gonna enjoy his voice and all his preparations ๐
A. He struggles with it. It doesn't come easily. The end results have ALWAYS been friggin amazing, but it takes a lot of him. And this year, well it hasn't been easy on him. He clearly was not in a good place mentally, emotionally, at the end of 2022 into the start of 2023. Yes, there has been huge improvement, but also clearly, he just didn't have the energy to go through that exhausting and probably also emotionally straining writing process. And that's what brings me to my second point;
B. JK draws from his own experiences in his writing, his own feelings. Back in the one on one interviews the members were doing for BE, JK shared with us that he would love to be able to write lyrics like RM does. Lyrics that he doesn't necessarily have an emotional connection with or draw from past experiences. To be able to tell a story, describe an emotion, even if it isn't drawn from his own world of life experiences. He repeated the same sentiment in his GQ interview back in 2021 as well.
Maybe in a couple of years, after he gets out of the army, when there is a bit of a distance between him and whatever it was he went through this year, he will be able to sit down and write that cathartic album, much like JM's Face. But at the moment, when the choice for him, the way he sees his writing, is between a maybe too personal or more so, navigating between emotions that might be too confronting for him, or finding those songs, that yes, might have been written by others, much like Euphoria was, but that he connects with on some level (again, could be vocal, performance or emotional), JK's choice was to go with the latter. JK connected emotionally with seven, for example. Not so much with 3D. That to him was more about the vocals and performance; And
C. JK himself back from his Seven promotions.
JK's writing and composing credits:
This list true for mid 2021. It now stands at 22 songs, including My you and Dreamers as well.
And we these are his vocal guides and credits.
JK sees himself first and utmost a singer and performer. And we know he can write songs. Beautiful songs. But at the moment, as he put it himself, he prefers to leave the song writing to those he deems to be better at it then himself, or in his words: "the experts".
But I will repeat these words of wisdom from @kkhluvsbts again:
""... you donโt have to write your own songs to feel something deep within while listening. Whether itโs the lyrics or the beat in general, music is personal."
Many amazing singers don't write their own songs. It's not only about writing the lyrics but also what they as artists bring with them and insert into it. It's not only about their vocal abilities but also how they are able to colour those vocals with emotions, add a piece of themselves, if you want.
And of course not every song is the same. It's not always about the emotions, and yet, a quality singer, someone like JK, will most definitley bring a piece of himself into every single song. It can be the colour of his vocal, it can be his playfulness, it can be his emotions.
Take a song like Roy Kim's Only then. A beautiful song, obviously not written by JK. I've heard the original version, and I might be biased but JK's cover of this song is so emotionally charged, it's electrifying and moving and just plain beautiful.
Not a song he wrote. But a song he covered and connected with on an emotional level. I will admit, I am listening to it right now, lol. It gets me EVERY SINGLE TIME.
Talking about JK being a romantic sap, how could I forget to add JKโs cover to Roy Kimโs Only then?????ย This is a beautiful cover, btw.
Th
Would I have preferred to see JK's songs (written and composed by him) in his solo debut album? Heck yeah. I was hoping that at least some of the songs would be his and perhaps in Korean as well. But, this was JK's choice at the moment, what he felt was the best course of action for him right now.
You know what I'm going to do?
I'm going to trust JK. That under the circumstances this was the best decision for him. Trust his choice of songs. We heard from BPD that SB brought forward lots of songs for JK to pick and choose from. These songs he's recorded are his choice. And I know that he's done the best job possible working on them. I mentioned this already, but 3D did grow on me (would have preferred it without Jack Harlow, but it is what it is), and JK, well he clearly didn't choose it for it's deep meaningful lyrics (I mean look at him explaining the song when it just came out - more or less "it's not about the meaning, it's about the performance"...), unlike Seven, to which he did connect on an emotional level (spending all time possible with "the love of my life"). But he told us this as well, that he wants to experiment with different styles and genres.
So, like I said, I trust him. I know that even if he didn't write the songs himself, this is gonna be a kick ass album (do I add that Andrew Watts is a kick ass Grammy winning producer?).
And I'm actually waiting with anticipation for Standing next to you.
Someone (saw it on Twitter and lost the post, lol) has already noticed that the Album's main track is track no. 4 - Standing Next to You.
And thinking of JM's tracklist in Face, track no. 4 was Alone.
Q : What song was the hardest to record?
Jimin :" Its the 4th track, its a song called "Alone" "Alone" wasโฆhow should i say it. It's a per
Could the song, perhaps, have special meaning to him? Could this be intentional, and not a meaningless coincidence?
I guess we will just have to wait patiently and see.
One thing I do want to add before I leave.
JK doesn't deserve the hate coming his way. Not lately and not now that we've seen that this is an all English album for which he doesn't have writing credits for. The level of venom I've seen online is, sorry, but absolutely disgusting.
My message to those spewers of hate (and btw, this goes for every single one of the members that people in this fandom feel the need to share their vile ideas about):
You don't have to be fucking ot7 to be a human fucking being. You don't like him, just leave. Don't listen to his music, don't watch his content. But don't be a fucking asshole about it. The only one that comes out looking bad from it is you!!!
Anyway, this is happening tonight.
I'll be fast asleep by then, but excited to wake up to it.
Ok, so I felt like I had to add a few words seeing some of the comments to my post:
As @jikook-married added, there are a couple of more details that make this louder, so to speak:
The choice of background music, the listing of all the names of the women (kind of reminiscent of JH's lyrics counting the women, no?).
The timing - is everything. This is after he's been called a womanizer, a fuckboy, some of the stories out there are absolutely disgusting. He addressed the not having a girlfriend in Stationhead (finds no need for it, guess because he already has a life partner), but obviously those who think he's a player wouldn't be satisfied by that one, right? He might not have a gf, but he is still fucking around with multiple women. You know, like the ones listed in the song he chose to do the 'challenge/trend' to.
@imagesderesistance mentioned in the comments that he's doing a TikTok trend where you go from ugly/weirdo to good looking, only he did it the other way round and that's what he's saying in the caption. But you see... well duh. Do we not see the symbolism in this? He's not doing what everyone is. He's not going straight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He's going against the flow, whichever way you want to look at it.
We have the singer in the background listing all these women and JK is shouting to us "I go the other way". He's doing it by doing the challenge the opposite way. He's doing it by captioning it. He could have done the challenge the opposite way without captioning it like that. By captioning it like that he's sending us the message with an exclamation mark.
I've said this once, I will say this again. JK is a super intelligent young man. Though he might be impulsive at times (this would be one of those I think). This is him thinking out and then acting impulsively, lol. But when he does something like this, and then the posting and deleting, this is him sending a message.
Now, he does this trend, does it the opposite way, captions it the way he does. Sending a message. But like everything with Jikook and still being closeted, there is always the need for deniability. And doing it the way he did is so damn smart.
JK is sending us a message. Loud and clear.
And at the same time using that oh so famous deniability umbrella that Jikook have been hiding under for so many years.
Well, I think you already know the reason for the title, it's been a while since I made an extensive post (it will be, maybe a little), but with everything that has happened, it is necessary.
Disclaimer: I will not post photos, videos, or any images for two reasons: protection and not giving it that boost that haters want.
A few days ago on Weibo (Chinese page), an account whose last update was in 2012, out of nowhere posted two videos (you know which ones), all of this generated a big commotion on Twitter because at first the topics were "invasion to privacy and yeeiii JK is straight."
The # they used on weibo was trending on that page.
When my friends showed me the videos, I stopped breathing for a few seconds (I have to be honest about this). However, as the minutes passed and I kept watching these videos over and over again... something didn't add up to me (yep, the furniture may be similar, the position of the interphone too) but the window will never change its design, EVER.
The window in JK's house is slider with two frames, the one in the video has between three and four. With this you begin to doubt the veracity of these videos.
I remember that on Twitter there were several insecure Jikookers who brought out all that projection they had of themselves (I understand that), I spoke with one, I explained the reasons why this could be made up, and do you know what happened? She blocked me hehehehehehe.
With others there were calm discussions and debates because you always have to wait until those who can be in charge of debunking all this would be the Chinese and Koreans.
And what happened? They did it
The attack was orchestrated a day after his "3D" release so that his fanbases in China would go against him. It didn't work because they began to debunk one video after another (including the one of the supposed JK where the tattoo is seen and that was the second attack), then the haters created other #s that were 5 in total, where they accused JK of everything from harassment to misogyny.
Each of these # were debunks.
And yesterday an article came out by the same Koreans debunking the supposed ssng.
To conclude this I can say with certainty that:
1) Trust JK
2) It's technically impossible to record anything from JK's house (Korean evidence)
3) They say that the video was on February 14... February, winter, where two days before JK was in wlive from the gym and was harassed and followed by ssng and whose video came out later... Do they think that JK will be stupid to show up two days after that harassment? Don't make me laugh.
4) And no less important, the story weighs more than a made up video.
Admit that dirty move you made was because you hate a Korean artist achieving what your singers couldn't. Racism and xenophobia were demonstrated in the sabotage you committed
