Instructions:
Click the desired year using the top menu (clickable links in the blog’s description) to get to the timeline set in chronological order. Don’t search using tags since it won’t appear in order - unless you want to search for a specific moment, date or theme (although some posts don’t show up in searches/tags 🤷🏻♀️). This main page is only set as an archive and it’s posts are in inverse chronological order - most recent on top. It’s not meant to be read here. Please start clicking on “Predebut”, then move to “2013” and so on.
We encourage you to follow the chronology and continue reading until the end because things start to fall in place and make much more sense as the timeline progresses. Sometimes we make certain interpretations because we have following events in mind.
Notice
We brought over our extensive (2000 pages long & linked below) Taekook Timeline. We aren’t familiar with tumblr so we will keep learning about formatting and reader navigation. The original google docs will still be kept open and updated. A follow would encourage us with all the work that this idea implies. We hope you bare with us and look forward to it’s future 💜

DISCLAIMER: This timeline/theory/analysis was originally built by Kayla and Sara with the help of BTS videos and their own words. From about April 2021 on is Kayla’s work alone. Sara is no longer part of this Taekook timeline as of about April 2021 and Kayla runs it alone. This is only speculation/theory, our interpretation. It’s impossible to note every interaction taekook has had but we did our best to include really iconic moments, and times that support our timeline theory. We’re human, so there is a margin of error for dates, though we did our best to back check everything. Anything uncredited is not intentional and is due to not knowing the original owner.
*Order of notes isn’t equivalent to level of involvement in the timeline. We both participate equally.
Note from Kayla
All -
This has been an incredible and fun project. Little did I know when Sara and I connected over twitter that our mutual love and support of BTS, and Taekook, would bloom into this massive project. We were analyzing and piecing together a timeline in our DMs to each other, sharing info, researching videos and photos to support our theories, and brainstorming hints we’ve spotted.
I never realized when we started such an innocent brainstorming process between ourselves that others would be interested in seeing what our timeline looked like. We built this timeline with the hope that all of the photographic and video evidence, as well as BTS’ own words, speaks for itself. We used that evidence to support our belief on Taekook’s timeline. Any speculation done on our part was based on a multitude of things - circumstances leading up to, and surrounding, the event; common sense; and typical human behavior (people try to explain away BTS’ actions at times when, at the end of the day, some reactions are just standard for any human). All of those points were utilized to explain our logic when we did speculate.
We are human, and this timeline is massive. There will always be a margin of error. The beauty of this document is it’s a living, breathing document that Sara and I can modify and update as needed. If you see anything you believe is incorrect, our twitter accounts are at the top of the document, and at the bottom of this post. Please feel free to reach out. Likewise, if there's anything you believe needs adding, please let us know. I hope to update as BTS does more things, but if anything is missed or has been left out that you feel is important, reach out. Sara and I can discuss if it delves too far into the realm of speculation that it wouldn’t be wise to add, or we can agree to add it. We’ve done our best to build this timeline with integrity, with proof and evidence vs imagination. If there’s anything you disagree with, that’s okay too! This is a timeline built on our observations. This doesn’t mean it’s accurate to someone else’s perception, since Taekook hasn’t confirmed anything and we’ve had to rely on what evidence has been presented to us. If you disagree, I’m happy to discuss, I just ask you keep it respectful.
We did our best to find videos, whether it’s on YouTube, Twitter or Instagram, to support our beliefs. We did our absolute best to double check these videos, as well as the words spoken, to ensure accuracy in what we uploaded. We also did our very best to credit any channel or account we used, though some were missed due to some being images found on Google, or shared on a social media platform from someone other than the original owner, or they were photos that had been saved before and we were unable to recall the account it was taken from. Any uncredited account is unintentional. We both are appreciative to all the accounts that were utilized in our research.
I am so proud of how hard we’ve worked on this document. This was a long back and forth process. As such, I want to ensure our names and accounts are at the top of this timeline doc, crediting the time and hard work it took to build this. I am excited to share this timeline with taekookers. However, I’d also caution on how this is disseminated amongst the taekook supporters. With love and positivity also, unfortunately, comes hate and negativity. As much as I’d love to share this doc on all social media platforms, I’m not interested or willing to argue, or receive backlash, with antis and/or disbelievers over an analysis we’re confident and proud of. This analysis is no different from someone taking the time to create a YouTube video. It’s just in document format.
I hope you enjoy reading this document💜

Note from Sara -
I hope you find this document as useful and enjoyable as we tried to make it. We will keep adding relevant & sweet moments so feel free to reach out for any type of suggestion or correction. We will gladly listen to polite discrepancies. The interpretation of the timeline may suffer some adjustments as time goes by since we are actively theorizing. The best part of this collab is the amazing synergy Kayla & I achieved in the search of a cohesive narrative that you all can have access to. Have fun with it! Hopefully you discover something new.
Would love to hear your thoughts!
(although Kayla interacts more with readers and I may not have much time to answer appropriately since this project requires a lot of work but I will absolutely read it. Kayla & I share the feedback received).
PS: Sharing is encouraged 💜
