hi! i have a question abt the part of ITS ep 8, minute 18:57, did hobi mistook JM for JK again? the reason why the subtitles didn't catch "Jungkook"? it's nothing big but JM's "Why are you telling me that" is pretty funny lolol
Hi!
Nah, BTS have a record of mistaking Jimin and Jungkook for each other, but this isn’t one of those cases.
Hobi says: 스테이크는 이거 들고 막 이렇게 먹어야 돼, 지민아 (Steak is supposed to be eaten like this, with your hands, Jimin)
(*I know the subtitle says 이거 들고 ‘딱/ttak/', but to my ears it sounds like ‘막/mak/'.)
The part I bolded is what I think might sound similar to 'Jungkook-ah’ to some people. It’s pronounced /deulgo mak/, which should sound nothing like /jeongguk/, but funny how phonetics work, huh? Hobi wasn’t really enunciating so his pronunciation of that particular part was closer to /deugo a/, which can sound similar to a mumbled version of ‘Jungkook-ah’.
A few seconds prior to this the boys were discussing cutting steak. Tae was planning on cutting the meat before serving since they didn’t have table knives. He wanted to make sure the size of the cut pieces was moderate, and in response Jin and Jimin assured him that they could take bites if needed. Hobi was agreeing with them by saying steak was meant to be eaten that way (as a chunk held in hand). That’s why Jimin asked him “Why are you telling me that” - because he was essentially saying the same thing Jimin did (sort of like, you’re preaching to the choir).
